Two-character thread for ariosto and myself - sorry
She sat on the bench in the bright neon light that is nowhere even remotely as cold and sleazy as it is in the waiting rooms of railway stations. Next to her a small overnight bag, in her hand a long cold coffee, the remainders of it clinging to the plastic cup in an almost oily consistence.
Every time the door opened her head jerked up – her eyes shining with hope … to just disappointedly drop back to the cup in her hands. This had been going for 45 minutes now, and the beaming smile that at first had enlightened her pretty face with each hopeful gaze at the opening door had disappeared.
“Pru, you are a stupid cow!” she was scolding herself “You should have known better than that !”
“But his invitation seemed so genuine, we had such a good time when chatting and all …” a weak defensive counter-thought tried to squeeze into the internal argument.
The fact though was that her online lover who had promised to pick her up at the station for a weekend of delight was nowhere to be seen and the phone number he had given her was not being responded to.
“Fuck him!” Did she say that out loud? She couldn’t care less! “I give him another 10 minutes to show up – and then I am gone!”
Gone – sure, but where to? Not back home! No way! She had had a lot of snide remarks already from her friends - specially seeing she had just turned 30 she had gotten about everything from the “biological clock ticking” to the “premature mid-life crisis” comments - and no way would she let anyone know things hadn’t gone the way they were supposed to be! So rather than that she’d be looking for a motel room or such and spend the weekend in this godforsaken place before admitting she had made a mistake!
With renewed vigour her head raised and her hand slid back a stray strand of her short blonde hair. Her blue eyes showed a sparkle of determination now and a charming and slightly mischievous smile slid back on her lips.
7 more minutes – and she would have a wonderful weekend – one way or other!
OOC: Well ariosto – here you go .. *chukles* curious to see what you make of it.
