                                                                        “Lesson 1, A tiny short story”

             Veronica Williams was sitting in the Chicago O’Hare airport waiting to be called for her flight to her new home in Montgomery, Alabama while daydreaming. She almost didn’t hear them call her flight. She had a lot on her mind, She had a new Fiancé’ and an ex boyfriend to deal with and she wished they’d both just give her some time to relax for once… in between planning her wedding and making amends she didn’t think she’d ever get the chance to go to the spa or even go out for a manicure again. With this thought she looked down at her chipped nails and sighed. “Flight 204 Montgomery, Alabama boarding now.”

She got up and walked towards the second metal detector of the day.

 

      As she took off her shoes and emptied her pockets she started to feel a little faint. She didn’t know why but she knew she couldn’t go back now. As she approached the metal detector she started to panic. Arguing with herself in her head. “You can’t go back to that! You can’t go back now! You could easily get lost in Downtown Chicago for a while… no one will ever have to know.” But the second voice was stern. “I have to go back… I have a new life waiting for me. I have to go.”  By this time she was about to step through the giant metal detector in a complete state of panic. She was so scared and confused at her self that she freaked out and abruptly fainted… right into the arms of the man behind her…but not just any man, the rock star Tyler Bunking of Drowning in Cement.

 

            This caused quite the commotion, the girl passed out in the rock star’s arms. It didn’t take long for a fat security guard to Tuttle up. By that time though Veronica had come too. And Tyler had her on the ground lying on his coat. She looked up very dazed and confused. “Um, err mam,” Tyler spoke. “Are you okay? You don’t look so good… I mean u do.. I mean are you alright you just fainted!’ She stared up into his eyes and turned 3 shades of red. “ I did oh my!” Then, security guard started asking her a series of questions.” Mam, I have to confront you… it’s my job please don’t take offence, are you on any illegal substances that may have caused this fainting spell. She looked up bewildered. “I really must intervene!” Said Tyler…” She’s just fainted.” He continued. “And I really don’t think you should be asking those questions to a lady. “  “ I mean look at her… She doesn’t look like she’d even touch a cigarette much less an illegal substances.

 

   The Security Guard nodded and left to take care of the boarding confusion. Tyler offered Veronica his hand and lead her to the first class seating. “Well… I sit back there she held up her ticket. Ashamed of the 3^rd class printed on it. “Nonsense “ Tyler said. “Sit here with us” He pointed to his band that all nodded in agreement. “ I really can’t impose myself upon you.” She mumbled. “Impose? It’s not an imposition if your invited is it?” Said the cunning Tyler. Her heart fluttering like mad she agreed to sit with the famous band… in first-class. The spent the next 2 hours talking and laughing and joking around and they were all melancholy when the captain announced for them to fasten their seat belts for landing. “So I guess this is good bye then?” Veronica muttered. “Good bye? “ laughed Tyler… I should think not!” Then he leaned down and kissed her gently on the lips. “We will meet again” he whispered.
