The One That Got Away.A Story by jackiethe story about a woman that still loved the one that got away.
" Today is a very speical day for ladies and gentlemen alike,its Valentine's Day the day we all pretend like we don't care if our Valentine's forgot if was Valentine's Day.(speak for themselves)I mind when men get throguh talking they do too,they just show it in a different way.It happened one evening as i was taking a walk down Magnificent Mile in chicago, I stopped at a newspaper stand and all of a sudden a voice from Heaven itself spoke to me it replied,"Well,hello stranger,I spun around to see if my ears was sdeceving me or maybe my eyes had gone bad.
It was himi my version of Mr.McDreamy. So i replied,"Well, if it isn't a baeutiful sight for sore eyes," "How are you these days, still looking good as usual." "We both gave eachother a very big and lingering hug, the kind of hug you can feel the emotion in the hug,"(ok,too much info.)Girl!! You had to do it to know what it ffelt like," I replied. "But,anyways, as i was saying,I'm standing there watching him from head to toe(um,still fine),Oh did I mention our namesin this story(No,guess I didn't). Well my name is Dinata, I'm the one doing all the talking.Those other two ladies are sheryl and deedee they're what you call gossip mongers."I replied,"Ok,I guess I'm gossiping too,by telling the story. Cause it happened to me.But, Back to the story at hand.
"Girl,do you know that man still looks good, he was definitely right about that advice he gave." "We gave our replies to eachother and then he stopped me in my tracks by replying,"You look so wonderful, and I thanked him for noticing." I Kindly relayed the same greetingthen he goes,"You know you were the one that got away." I just starred blankly and then I noticed the wedding ring on his finger. I fiqured might as well niot tell him he also was the one that got away.
After,that remark we looked weird at eachother and he broke the tyension by flashing his wedding ring and saying,"I've been married 10 yrs., one child a boy."So, are you married with kids or are you still single and looking. "He tapped the tip of my nose with his index finger and gave me that sorrry. I'm happily married look." He said,"You take care of yourself. The right one will come along." He paid for his items waved goodbye and went on out the door ,an disappeared in the night like a thief in the night for my own heart." © 2013 jackieAuthor's Note
