Jack sat down in a coffee shop just around the corner from his top floor apartment. Although he had a blacony and good neighbors the environment just wasnt suitable for him, so when he needed to get some work done he came here. He opened his computer and began to write. Chapter 1- The first time. As he began to write he ordered a coffee and began what would hopefuly be a successful novel abot a young woman named Melissa. Melissa was a tall beautiful woman her perfect facial features accentuated by silky waves of auburn hair. She could have any man she wanted, but the trouble was she couldnt find anyone she liked. Jack finished the chapter, returned his mug and packed away his computer and walked out the door holding it open politely for a woman entering. He returned home pleased with his progress on the day.Jack awoke and stumbled into the shower barely awake while he washed his toned physique. He planned on getting some more writing done today after all he wanted out of his appartment so he needed the money from this book. He strolled downt he sidewalk thinking to himself what a perfect day it was, he lifted his head and stared unto the sky and pondered if he would ever-- he found himself face to face with quite possibly the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, "im terribly sorry about that i was just enjoying the day" he said as he reached down to pick up her briefcase which had fallen when he bumped into her. "could i perhaps buy you a cup of coffee to make up for it?" "Yes that would be lovely" replied the woman. Jack opened the door for her and they proceded inside.
Once inside Jack bought two coffees and they sat down at the nearest open table.
-Im Jack by the way
-Melissa
-So what do you do Melissa?
-Im a model, but i also paint. How about you Jack
-Im a writer actually i came here to get some work done.
-Ah I see, well i need to get to work Jack, thanks for the coffee
-Bye MelissaJack watched her exit and thought to himself that he had just gone from the lonliest man on earth to the luckiest.
jack walked out of the coffee shop and knew he had to have this woman. She was the one. He formulated a plan in his mind. Jack re-entered the coffe shop and walked up to the counter and adressed the owner. "Excuse me, did you see that woman i was with earlier?" "Yes i did why" "If she comes in here tomorrow could you please give her this?" "Yea i can do that" "Thank you very much sir" Jack walked out of the coffee shop and contiued home, making a stop along the way.
Melissa entered the coffe shop the next morning, she often stopped in when she had a modeling shoot to grab a coffee. As she paid for her coffee and was about to leave the owner adressed her: "Excuse me but i was instructed to give you this" He handed her a plain envelope with 'melissa' scrawled across the front. "thanks" she replied and walked out. She stuffed the envelope into her purse and walked the remaining way to work.
Completing her photo shoot Melissa exited the building and dug through her purse for her phone. Her fingers closed upon the envelope she had received earlier. Tearing it opn she pulled out a single scrap of paper and a single rose petal. ON the paper was a poem that read: ' Beauty lies in thee, your eyes, they may not see, yet if you follow thiy heart, then you know you should be mine." below was an address 317 lockland rd and a name: Jack. She could not deny that she had kept her meeting with Jack in the back of her mind since yesterday and without another thought she walked past the coffee shop and around the corner.
Melissa rang the buzzer and the door unlocked. She entered into the lobby and found herself standing in front of a single white rose. She picked it and continued to the stairws where she found another, red this time. The roses continue untils he reached the 5th floor appartment. She knocked on the door and Jack opened the door and they immediatly embraced and kissed passionatly. "Ive loved you from the first second i saw you yesterday" "I felt the same way" They spent the night in each others arms.
Melissa awoke to find Jack was not next to her. She rose from the bed and wandered around jacks appartment with no luck. She hurridly dressed and exited the building. She thought to herself how she hated appartments, they always smell like smoke outiside.She headed toward the coffee shop only to be stopped at the corner by a policeman. "Ma'am you cant go down there its not safe" "Why what happened she asked?" Theres been a fire at the coffee shop down the street, no one survived" Melissa shrunk back against the wall tears filling her eyes and cascading down her cheeks. She closed her eyes and could only think about how love could be so cruel. She sat there for hours until darkness fell and it began to rain. She got up and walked off into the darkness, neevr to be seen again.
John closed his computer and exited the coffee shop holding the door politely for a woman entering who looked at him and gave him a smilie. "Things are looking up for me" he thought to hmself as he left.
