“I say we go ahead and order.” Picking up my menu, I glance through what this restaurant has to offer.

“There’s probably a logical reason Kristi couldn’t come.” Sean attempts to console me.

His wife, Sarah, adds, “I’ll call her tomorrow and see what happened.”

“It’s okay,” I reply. And really, it is. I’m not so upset about getting stood up for this blind double-date. I’m too busy watching the woman who keeps coming in and out of the kitchen, bustling about the restaurant from one table to the next, checking on everything that’s going on. She could be a manager, or even the owner of the place. But whatever her job is here, I’m interested in her for other reasons.

So I decide, before I leave here tonight, I’ll talk to this woman. In an elegant black dress and four-inch heels, her curvy body moves quickly and gracefully about the dining area. She’s older than most of the waitresses–maybe in her late thirties–and that’s another thing that makes her stand out. If there’s something I love it’s a confident woman who carries her curves well.

With black hair and alabaster skin, she creates a striking presence. And her large chestnut eyes–she seems to take in everything immediately with those eyes.

She turns and notices I’m looking at her.

I want to rush over, take her in my arms, and kiss her all over, then ask her to have a seat while I serve her something. A beauty like her deserves to have a little treat for once.

My mystery woman raises a hand to indicate that she’ll be with us in a moment, and I nod.

Sean and Sarah are still chatting over the menu.

I sip my wine and close my menu. I’ve already decided what I want. Now I just have to find a way to get it.

My life so far has mostly been a hard-luck tale. My mom did everything she could to keep me out of trouble as I grew up across the Mississippi on the East side of town. All I had was a library card for entertainment, and my favorite books were all about cooking.

I always dreamed of traveling the world, becoming a chef in the greatest restaurants.

But now at thirty, I’m still flipping burgers. I rarely get to go out on the town in the fashionable area of the Loop in St. Louis. Nevertheless, nothing’s going to stop me from having a good meal and some fun with my friends.

Since neither Sean nor Sarah can decide what they want, I convince them to try the Spicy Coconut Grilled Chicken Legs. My friends are willing to go along with what I suggest since I am an aspiring chef.

At that moment, my mystery woman approaches our table and smiles. “Hi, I’m Hailey, the owner of the restaurant. I noticed you seemed to be looking for something a moment ago?”

Sarah and Sean look at me questioningly.

“Yes,” I say. “I was just noticing how busy the place is tonight.
