What great campsite he ruminated. There is something to be said about living in nature. His fingers rummaged through the esky seeking another beer can.
Except he wasn’t meant to be alone.
The love of his life who he had met last week was to be with him.
He even had a ring that he had planned to put in her breakfast bowl as a surprise.
The trip was a surprise. She thought they were going on a picnic.
He should have never told her about the weekend plans at the service station.
At least she left the beer behind.

I'd love read what you think about this post...
The course of true love never did run smooth. Fun story
ReplyDeleteThat comment about true love was from me
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil, I am glad you liked it.
DeleteHaving only met her the week before, I think his expectations were set too high. :) Maybe some time with nature will help.
ReplyDeleteIt's all in or nothing for him. Thanks for reading Brenda.
DeleteDear Subroto,
ReplyDeleteWell there is love at first sight, but I think he might've jumped the gun just a bit. Perhaps he'll take the next relationship a little slower. Nicely done. And that song always made me sad.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks Rochelle, he does get carried away. Not going to be a next time here.
DeleteThe love of his life that he met a week ago? Obviously, she didn't share his emotion. I think it's a good thing he spilled the beans before they actually took off on his "romantic" little getaway--she'd probably have accused him of kidnapping her!
ReplyDeleteHe does have a few restraining orders from past relationships :-)
DeleteThanks for reading
Oh, this sounds like a Bukowski story for sure. We got beer, smokes, and enough Mary Jane for the week. Alone just might work. Well done.
ReplyDeleteMary Jane is the love of his life. Thanks for commenting Bill.
DeleteHoping his next adventure has a happier ending. They don't call love an "elusive butterfly" for nothing... I love Gilbert O'Sullivan music, btw.
ReplyDeleteHopefully no restraining orders in the future too. Thanks for reading Lisa.
