Soul mates?
Word 102
“So?”
“I passed!” Julie’s eyes shone as she served John coffee.
“I knew it!” John squeezed her hand. “How are you celebrating?”
“I have a…a date.”
“Oh.” John stood up.
“Don’t go! Please?” Julie muttered.
John fidgeted whilst Julie waited tables.
She returned. “I am nervous about my blind date.”
“Why go on a blind date?”
“I don’t know any nice guys.”
“So, I’m not a nice guy?”
Julie blushed. “I didn’t say that.”
“Come out with me.” He asserted.
Julie’s eyes sparkled.
John smiled.
He was one step closer his goal – a qualified wife who was used to serving.

I have a confession, I was traveling and when I came back I dropped in on Rochelle’s page and her story which led me to wmqcolby’s story, the stimulating comment section and one thing led to another – what I am trying to say is that this story of John and Julie is inspired by Stood up? and Blind Date? And the ensuing discussion of course 😉 Sorry just couldn’t resist 😀

Yes, I see that as another take on the relationship between the two. By far the most sinister one. Well done, Dahlia

Dear Dahlia,
This is certainly John and Julie’s week. I don’t think I like John very much in this story. Run, Julie, run!
Shalom,

Dahlia, I am flattered. This is yet another good story brought about by conversation. Love it! So, John’s kind of opportunistic. OK. Maybe he’s tired and needs a wife who is serving and not “self-serving.” My take on it, anyway (which could lead to another conversation and it might). Good to see a particular view of things.
Five out of five coffees.

I hope she serves him cold water–right over his head. This is more like I see the John from the original. Good story.

Leaves me wondering which J has an ulterior motive …… or both are making a fool of each other. An intriguing tale.

I don’t know. I think John’s thoughts are a bit creepy. What is she becomes ill and can’t serve? I didn’t hear him thinking “love” at all. Good writing. I hope you and yours weren’t anywhere near the cyclone, Dahlia. —- Suzanne

You never fail to surprise me with your last lines, I thought it was going to a sweet one but how wrong was I! Hope Julie dumps for her blind date, that would ‘serve’ him right.
