Twenty-One

Vanessa was worried. Knowing that Robert had seen her up close with Calvin was bothering her. What if he told the police about her? Could they use his description to get close? She started parking outside the bar where she had met the two men and watched for Robert to go there. Worst part was, she had no idea what his last name was or where he lived. All she did know was he had talked to her and Calvin and that he was married. At least that had been his excuse to leave that night.

For a week straight, Vanessa haunted the bar’s parking lot. Once or twice someone would stop by her car to ask if she were okay or if they could help her. One night, while she was pacing next to the car - she was wearing a dark blue pantsuit that night with her black hair in a cut resembling that of Cleopatra - a drunk from the bar had almost knocked her over. He had been a bit ‘handsy’, but she had shoved him back and crossed her arms over her chest. The man had laughed, belched, then asked if she was waiting on someone inside. She had said no but that she thought her husband might be frequenting this bar and she was trying to catch him. She gave Robert’s description and the drunk said he had never seen the man. Disgusted, Vanessa had gotten in her car and driven away.

Three weeks after Calvin’s death, Vanessa finally decided it was time to stretch her wings again, so to speak. She dressed nicely in a shimmery dark green dress. It was form-fitting for the most part though the skirt flared just a bit as it reached her knees. Tonight, her hair was a soft auburn color cut in a sort of pixie to frame her face. She applied her makeup carefully matching the colors she was wearing. For a brief moment as she looked into the mirror, she debated doing colored contacts. She could probably afford it. The only problem would be finding the time. She had a post office box number for shipments so she could order them to be mailed to her, but she would have to have an eye exam first. She didn’t think her vision was all that bad, she just wanted to change her eye color.

Vanessa drove to a new part of town this time. It was a bit classier than previously so the men would be nicer. The one thing she worried about was that most men might bring their wives with them. She would just have to chance it. She got out of the car that she parked in a far corner of the lot and walked into the place.

The bar itself was a bit more upscale. It was still dimly lit and smoky but there were more people inside, the floors looked clean, and the tables actually had short clothes on them laid so they looked like a diamond pattern on each.
