_____You walk in and are greeted by the smell of incense. There is a fire going and two glasses of wine on the coffee table. Looks like she is trying to seduce you. Sitting across from you, Donna crosses her legs without revealing too much. "Okay, what did you want to talk about?"
_____You lean back and smile. "You . . . me . . . future possibilities." It shouldn't take long to get her out of her robe.
_____"Really? And what's got you thinking about that?" Donna cocked her head to the side and curved her burgundy painted lips into a sensuous smile.
_____Damn, you think, she's playing hard to get. "I ran away from you because I thought I couldn't give up being single, didn't want to lose my freedom. I know now that was a mistake." You hope you weren't laying it on too thick. "Everyday without you has been miserable. I--"
_____"Excuse me." Donna leaned forward and a bare shoulder peeked out. "I mean, what makes you think I would still be interested?"
_____"Because you still love me." There's a few seconds of silence and the Donna bites her quivering bottom lip. Expecting to see a flood of tears, you prepare to take her in your arms. The laughter catches you completely by surprise.
_____"Do you really think I've been sitting here pining away for you after that stunt you pulled with Sylvia?"
_____"Well, what's with the wine, fireplace and robe?"
_____"It never occurred to you that I might have a date?" Embarrassed, it's your turn to be speechless. A buzzer in the kitchen broke the silence. "That must be the Cornish hen. I've got to get ready. We'll have to finish this discussion later."
_____Talk about an ego buster! This is the last place you want to be. "By the way," Donna says as she closes the door behind you, "keep the necklace since you are so attached to it."
_____Sitting in your car, a jumble of conflicting thoughts parade through your mind. Part of you believes that Donna is bluffing, so you decide to see if anyone actually shows up.
_____A taxi pulls up in front of the house and an older butch woman gets out. She's carrying a big bouquet of roses. At least it's not anyone you know. You didn't expect Donna to be a nun or anything but to be over you so quickly... Perhaps she was never really in love with you in the first place. Suddenly, you feel a little sick.
_____In any case, sex is the furthest thing from your mind. You start up the car and decide to head for home. There is a pint of butterscotch ice cream waiting for you there.
