Few months after, it was her birthday and she knew that Nathan would never care about her birthday because he never cared about his own birthday or thier wedding Anniversary. At noon she took herself out, she was tired of feeling sorry for herself, “It’s my birthday and I’m going to make myself happy today” She told herself
She went to the mall to do some shopping and finally headed to a restaurant in the mall. Lucy used the elevator and it took her to the first floor of the mall. There was a fancy restaurant at her left, so she walked towards that direction. As she entered the restaurant, all eyes where on her, so she walked quietly and sat down. Few seconds later, A waitress came to her and asked her what she wanted to eat or drink, “Give me your most expensive wine, For my meal: I want Fried rice, with salad and a roasted chicken” she said.
Few minutes the waitress brought all she ordered.
At the other corner of the restaurant, A young guy was sitting opposite Lucy and this particular guy couldn’t get his eyes off her. He was smitten by her gorgeousness and was thinking on how to approach her. After a while of being lost in thoughts, he noticed that Lucy was almost done with her meal.
“There’s just something about that girl thats sitting over there, let me go and talk to her, she is so beautiful and elegant, I can’t get my eyes off her” The young guy told himself
After the boost of morale, he summoned up courage and walked towards Lucy , “can I join you to sit” he jokingly said. Lucy looked up and beheld a gentle and good looking man, “You can sit if you want to and what makes you think that I’m here alone and that I’m not waiting for someone?” she asked, “You have been sitting here for a long time now and your facial expression says you are not expecting anyone, you are alone and I’m
here to entertain you, I can make you laugh so hard” he replied smiling as he sat down. Lucy smiled and looked downwards, “My name is Richard, can I please know your name?” he asked, “I’m Lucy” she replied, “Beautiful name” he complimented and she thanked him.
Richard tried to start a conversation with her so he asked how her day went and they got talking. “Well, Today is a good day, actually today is my birthday” Lucy said calmly
“Wow! Happy Birthday Lucy” Richard said happily.
“Thank you” Lucy replied
They talked and laughed for a while till the waitress brought Lucy’s bill, “I’ll get
