Here is a short story for you Melinda, Happy Valentine's Day. It isn't until next week, but I thought I would start it now.
Melinda was a waitress at a little diner on Main Street in Llanview, Pennsylvania. She has been working there for 1 year, and she hated it at first, but now she loved talking to all the different people, and making it on her own. She had a nice little apartment near the diner, and she really made it a nice home for herself. The only thing that was missing was someone to share it with. She has had boyfriends but she didn't find the right one. She knew she may be picky, and she knew she had to stop that or she would be alone all her life. She has seen many ladies come in crying about their cheating husbands, and boyfriends, and at those times she was happy to be single. She wanted children, but she wanted to be settled with a good husband before she had one. She was standing by the counter, when a young man came in , and sat at the booth. She looked over she had never seen him before. He had long hair, and a scar on his cheek, and he looked upset or sad she wasn't so sure. She grabbed the coffee container, and a mug, and walked over to his table.
"Coffee"
Todd was looking at the menu, and didn't answer.
"Hello Sir would you like a cup of coffee"?
"No thanks I would like a tea"
"Tea"?
"Yeah a tea why don't I look like a tea kind of guy"?
"I'm sorry most men love our coffee, I was not trying to upset you" Melinda walked away, Todd put the menu down. He put his hands over his face, he was rude, but he was so angry. He hated his life , he hated being angry all the time, he really needed a change in his life.
Melinda walked over, "I'm so sorry, here is your tea, I brought you milk, and sugar"
"I'm sorry for being so rude, I just had a major fight with one of my associates, and I'm real frustrated, and I took it out on you"
"That is fine , I was out of line with the tea line"
"Well to tell you the truth this is my first cup of tea"
"Really why did you want it"?
"Because you asked me for coffee, I was being rude"
"Well try it , and see if you like it"
Todd put some sugar, and milk in the mug. He stirred it, and took a sip. He grabbed his napkin, and yelled, "This is like dirty water oh this is so gross"
Melinda laughed, "So you would like a coffee "?
"Well yes if you don't mind , I will pay for this"
"Don't worry Barry will never know but next time just take the coffee"
"What makes you think I will come back again"?
"Well our food is amazing, and the coffee is great, and I can just judge you will be back" Melinda walked away , Todd smiled, and whispered, 'Oh Sweetie if your working here, I will be back"
He watched as Melinda got the coffee, and she walked over to him. A man from another table yelled over, "Melinda stop giving him all your attention, I want some of your time too"
"Joe hold your horses, I will be right there"
"Oh so you like guys with long hair, maybe I will grow mine"
Todd jumped up, 'Stop being rude, she will be with you in a minute"
Melinda touched Todd's shoulder, "He is harmless please sit down" Todd sat down as Joe whispered, "I will wait"
Melinda poured Todd his coffee as she whispered, "are you OK"?
"Yes but he is a jerk"
"Sometimes but he is fine, you figure out what you want to eat, I will serve him, and be right back" She smiled, and walked away going over to Joe. Todd was looking making Joe nervous, he ordered pie , and ice cream. Melinda walked over to get it, Joe looked at Todd but put his head down, he knew Todd was not someone he really wanted to mess with.
