A 100-word story of two lovers’ unexpected first meeting.
The spicy scent of salsa filled the air as Kevin gasped at the view of a stranger entering the restaurant. The figure had no chiseled jawline and no George Clooney smile. He was an indescribable beauty with ocean waves as eyes.
Kevin wrangled his courage like a stubborn horse into a stable.
“Join me?”
Their eyes met filling the room with nervous energy.
Silence
Red-faced Kevin retreated to his booth and fiddled with his salsa. It was the color of his embarrassment. A tap on the shoulder diverted Kevin’s eyes. The deep blue ocean waves hypnotized him.
He said yes.
