Long brown hair framed a clear complexioned face. Not bad looking, if you could
get past the rather large nose. Daddy says I have puppy dog eyes. They make me
look like a child. Especially when my hair is in a pony tail, as it is now. And when
I’m in jeans and a t-shirt.
I check my watch. Shit! Late again!
I run out of the apartment, down two blocks and stop right in front of Ardo’s - the
latest food joint in town. I had called two weeks ago for a reservation for tonight.
No one walks into Ardo’s without a reservation.
Penny is sitting near a large window overlooking the street. She looks gorgeous in
a lime green blouse. She breaks into a grin and waves me over.
‘Sorry I’m late babe,’ I pant as I hug her.
‘Ewwww Jenny, when was the last time you showered?’ Penny scowls as she pulls
away from the hug.
‘I was going to when I got home, but traffic was horrendous and I got home late.
Sorry. I didn’t want to keep you waiting.’ I realize I should have at least sprayed some
perfume. A bit too late for that now. But we’re here now. I was thrilled at finally
getting to see my best friend after three months!
Brushing off her comment, I asked her about her trip across Europe.
