He had her visit for an evening meal at his place.
The evening went well, with him managing to impress her with his home-cooked beef lasagna. He felt that this could be the beginning of something. He had always liked her. They’d known each other since their schooldays. She now worked in a dress boutique in town, while he was in the accounts department, in the head office of a construction company. They both worked in town and not far apart. He had seen her a few times having lunch at one of the big department stores. She was often there with other women, probably friends who also worked locally. It had been a case of him only admiring from afar.
That had been the case, until he saw her sitting alone as he entered the department store’s cafeteria. With his tray of food and drink, he made his way to her table. His heart skipped a beat when she looked up and smiled as he approached.
They sat chatting and eating as though the intervening years didn’t exist. Most of their talk was about work and food; mostly food. Especially him. He talked about some of the dishes he really liked to cook at home. One thing led to another and that is how it happened that he invited her to his place one evening for a meal.
As said, the meal had gone well, and after washing up he sat relaxing in front of the television for a while before turning in. In fact, he was about to do that, when he got a call on his phone.
Being late, he wasn’t sure about taking it until it occurred to him that it could be her!
He answered the call and was thrilled to hear her voice on the other end, apologising.
He said, “Why, what’s the problem?”
“Sorry,” she repeated, “It probably sounds silly, but I can’t find my lipstick! Apart from being expensive, it’s my favourite. I must have left it at yours. It’s only small and I must have dropped it or something. So sorry.”
“OK No need to apologise, I’ll take a look around now, if you like, and call you back if I find it.”
“Oh! That’s really sweet of you. It’s rather late. Are you sure you don’t mind?”
“Not at all. I’ll start looking now.”
She said, “Thank you so much,” and rang off.
He stood thinking for a while. He realised that this could be a good thing. If he found it, they could arrange for her to call in for it. It would be a sure way of seeing her again. He had to find it.
Knowing that she had used the bathroom during her visit, that was the first and most likely place he looked. Nothing there. Now he would search around in all the unlikely places…
He was laying on the floor, looking under the settee when his phone sounded.
Struggling up, he opened the call.
“Hallo” he said.
“Thanks for looking,” she said. “It’s OK, silly me, I found it!”
