She sat by the
phone
Jack always rang on
Wednesday
When he worked
away
It was unlike him
She tried to
think what she’d said
As she felt
choked up
Was he different
Last time they
were together?
She felt hot and
sick
Her face coloured
up
Did he think she
had flirted?
That time in the
bar
Well he smiled at
her
Of course she
would smile back too
His name was
Robert
"There’s plenty of
fish"
She mused to
herself, grinning
"I hate those that
sulk"
She now felt
better
"He can stay
working up state
Leaving me behind"
Just then the
phone rang
“I wonder if it
is him”
She said with a laugh

anticipation and worry...both captured so well here with plain old human nature as well!
ReplyDeleteThat is so typical of someone waiting for a call to let their mind wander to strange things.
ReplyDeleteSo like a person to make judgment calls without really understanding that something is up. Obviously these two people weren't together very long because I certainly wouldn't deal with my girlfriend or boyfriend, whatever you prefer, was flirting with another person behind my back. I've been down this road before and it isn't a very nice feeling. I've also tried to work it out before letting it all go, but it never really works out in the end. Great story about the problems of life.

much love...
Yes, waiting for that special someone to call and all the imaginings and jumping to conclusions that go with it. And then that old saying, "he's just not that into you."
ReplyDeleteWe do seem to look for problems...especially when young.
ReplyDeleteSo very true of life and relationships, how quickly doubts can creep in if we are unsure of each other and what we have... and then we might try to pretend that we don't care, but of course we do. Great writing, Old Egg!
ReplyDeleteOh.. the killing anticipation of waiting for someone !!
ReplyDeleteWaiting adds so much weird experiences, hope the waiting period gets some diversion and wait is fruitful :)
