Ariel was in the bathroom at George's Bistro, looking into the mirror.Her brain was rattling on and on and she began to have a conversation with herself.

" OK, what the hell are you doing here? Yes you are lonely, but answering an ad in the paper?, this just makes you look desperate." She shakes her head in disappointment.

" So the guy made you laugh. You want funny read the comics in the newspaper. As for an intellectual conversation, so not happening."

Ariel takes a deep breath and runs her fingers through her long blonde hair.

" Showtime",she says and decides not to waste anymore lip gloss. Go out there tell him you had a great time, and take your butt home ALONE. The voice in her head practically yells.

She gives herself one more look over in the mirror, smiles and walks out the bathroom.

The man waits as Ariel gets in her car and starts it up. She waves one more time and pulls out of her parking spot turning right on Main Street. It was Friday night so the roads were busy. Despite the storm brewing overhead.

" I guess you can't stop fun. Please just let me make it home before it rains." She stops at a traffic light behind a little red sports car.

The guy in the car rolls his window down and throws a beer bottle out of it. His music was so loud that the bass was vibrating her car. The light turned green and he hits the gas pedal, squealing his tires as he takes off.

" I hate people who litter." She pulls up a little and rolls her window down as she puts her arm out. She begins waving her hand in a slow circle, over and over again. The bottle starts rising off the ground in a circular motion. It reaches her hand riding a small gust of wind. She closes her hand around the neck of the bottle and pulls it into the car.

Ariel turns her radio on and pushes slightly on the gas pedal and proceeds down the road. She comes up to her street and turns right. All of a sudden she busts out laughing, because Mr. Sports car was pulled over with red flashing lights behind it.

" You can add littering to that ticket officer." And she passes them still laughing.

She pulls into her parking spot with her apartment number marked on the ground in black. Half way down the sidewalk to her building the first thunder clap rings out over head. she starts to walk faster just as the rain starts.

She is thankful for the covered stair way as she proceeds up the stairs to the third floor. Unlocking her door she walks in already removing her jacket. Just as she shut the door she hears, " Meow."

" Awe, hi sugar", and Ariel reaches down and picks up her orange tabby and hugs it.

She puts the cat back down, " Looks like its just you and me tonight." She walks down the small hall to her room. Turning the light on she flops down on the bed and takes her heels off.

" Wow, much better", as she digs her hosed feet into the plush carpet.

Ariel puts her Jammie's on and goes back out to the living room to get to the kitchen which was basically a counter, one sink, fridge, and stove. she pours herself a glass of red wine and walks back to the couch and sits down, grabbing a blanket to throw across her lap.

She lets the sound of the rain hitting the window and the thunder sooth her and take her back to her childhood and the day when everything changed.
