Maiden Sky, A Free Short Love Story - Page 1 A Love Story Written by Willow Windsong
Misty hugged deeper inside of her winter coat, seriously considering her odds of survival.
If she died – it was all her fault. Her fault for
being snookered by a handsome liar in a business suit. Her fault for assuming
that said-liar cared for her – that she and said-liar were on their way to a
wedding chapel in Vegas. Her fault for not even questioning said-liar’s marital
status. Then again,
he would have probably lied about that too. For the last
six weeks he had nicely danced around the issue she realized in retrospect. It was the
story of her life – always late and a dollar short. She’d been
walking in the bitter cold for the last hour, her legs moving along the strip
of road by sheer will alone, parts of her body still quaking from the abuse
inflicted by the imbecile she had imagined she’d fallen in love with. The area was
desolate – not even one vehicle had passed during the last hour. So much for
the age old saying, ‘nothing in this life if certain’ because if she didn’t
find shelter soon, she’d certainly freeze to death.
Eddy. Eddy Frockinheimer. Eddy Frockinheimer the liar, Misty tacked onto her miserable
thoughts, her intense anger the only thing keeping her the slightest bit warm. It had all
started last week when he’d mentioned an upcoming business meeting in Las Vegas,
Nevada to her – that it was time for the two of them to tie the knot. Misty had
been skeptical but Eddy had assured her that she loved him – that it was past
time for them to set up housekeeping together. She had
questioned Eddy’s proclamation of her love for him; she had liked him
tremendously. But love? She’d expected more; bells, whistles, exploding rockets
in the air – all the wonderful things that one imagined whenever true love was
involved. But never having been in love before – she had trusted Eddy rather
than her own good sense. The idiot
that she was, she had sold everything she’d owned except the few meager items
in the small bag she was currently carrying. Her car, her furniture, sundry
items – everything because she had assumed she would be moving into Eddy’s plush
apartment after the wedding ceremony.
