She was a waitress at one of the city’s most popular eateries. A few times a week he would dine there, asking to sit in her section. They’d pretend they weren’t a couple. He’d flirt, she’d flirt back. She would see that he got extra big helpings of food, he would leave her outlandish tips. Sometimes he would write love notes on her ticket.
On special occasions, he would fold one of the tip dollars into an origami piece of art. He left her cranes for good luck and dragons for protection just to see one of her bright smiles.
The 100 Word Challenge, a writing prompt created by Velvet Verbosity, takes a single theme to tell a story in only 100 words ~ no more, no less. This week’s theme is ‘Lucky.’
This piece is an adaptation from the NaNoWriMo project I’ve been writing this month. More of the entire rough draft can be found at ‘Where’s George.”
