Story #41: A Happy Ending

A Happy Ending

    Luke Johnston was standing in the street of New York City staring into one of the many store windows. Unfortunately the one he chose to stop at is the wedding store with all the fancy rings and a wedding dress. This reminded him of how sad he is. He is thinking of how he wishes he had a wife in one of those dresses or wear one of those rings. Just as he was daydreaming into the window of the store a beautiful red headed women appeared in the window. Their eye contact lasted about thirty seconds. He knew in his mind he had to find out who this magnificent women is.

    He hurried home to talk to his mom about how amazing the women in the wedding store is. His mom sadly had no idea who she was. He quickly began thinking of an idea of how to go into the store and be able to talk to her. The first thing that popped into his head is lie and say he was looking for something. Since that is the only thing he could think of that is exactly what he did. The only problem was it was six o'clock, the exact time the store close. He would just have to wait until tomorrow.

    The next day he woke up bright and early to make sure he was the first one to the store. He walked out of the basement in his best outfit. As he walked by every mirror in the house he checked to make sure he looked okay still.

    He set out on his quest to the wedding store. Unfortunately he lived approximately seven blocks from the wedding store so it was quite a trip. On the way past his friend Chuck Milem's Chuck walked outside. Chuck has the same kind of luck with women as Luke did. He still lived with his parents, too. Chuck and Luke walked to the wedding store together. While on the journey to the store Chuck gave Luke all the advice he could think of on how to get the store worker to like him. By the time they got to the store they had their plan figured out.

    When they walked into the store the first thing they saw was the magnificent red headed women walking towards them. She looked Luke straight in the eyes and said in her very elegant voice, "What can I help you fellas with?" Luke immediately froze. He said, "My friend is looking for a ring for his girlfriend." Very quickly she started finding rings to show to Chuck. He pretended to be interested because he was just trying to follows Luke's role. When Chuck had enough of looking at rings with no purpose he just decided to tell her that none of these rings would look good on his girlfriend's hand. As they were walking past the front desk heading for the door Luke sneakily put one of his cards with his phone number, name, and address on it. On the bottom it says hit me up for a good time.

That night as he was sitting there eating dinner he got a phone call from an unknown number. He answered it and it was her beautiful voice. They arranged to go on a date the next day.

Since it was Saturday Luke's mom was home to help him get ready for his date. He wore a nice striped bow tie with a plain shirt and khakies. This is the best he has looked in forever. He just realized one important thing. He doesn't even know her name. Luke picked her up at 6 at her house and went nicely up to the door to greet her. They went and had dinner at Olive Garden. Turns out the two really hit it off. Chuck's advice worked after all. Mary and Luke ended up getting married with Chuck as the best man. Eventually they had three kids and lived happily ever after.
