Well, I am very late to the party, but I made it! I looked up the photo prompt from Priceless Joy on Thursday, but apparently it had to percolate before I was happy with it. As always, the idea is to write 100-150 story based on the photo, nicely provided by Dawn M Miller this week. Check all the other (on-time) stories HERE!
Number 19. It was empty now, waiting to be bussed. Jana had arrived way early.
She focused on the cups and napkin to keep herself from running.
Was there lipstick on one of the cups? Had it been a couple that had been sitting there?Did they leave together, or had it been a final meeting? That napkin had been crumpled in anger. But why? And did they make up?
A waitress came to the table, wiping away the previous customers while cleaning the plastic tablecloth. Jana looked around nervously, wondering who would sit there next.
Stupid Robert, installing that app on her phone and swiping left. She hadn’t even seen the picture of whoever he had set her up with. Just a date and time. Why was she even here?
She found herself tearing her own napkin to bits as she waited. Finally, a man approached #19, glancing around. He looked uncomfortable, and Jana smiled before walking over.
“Hello, Robert.”
Hahaha! I guess Robert wanted to date her for himself! No wonder he didn’t want her to see the photo of the “date” he had set her up with. LOL! Great story!
