I, alone at a table on the terrace,
with my thoughts and soberly sipping from a coffee that is not over.

I felt terrified, hurt, an alien in a world where I could not find my place, nor happiness. The noisy crowd was coming and leaving the tables, I was the only one staying and watching them. They were laughing, they were talking and I was wondering what their lives were like? Just as bare and as dumb as mine? Or were they happy and the world was theirs? Anyway, it just became upsetting to hear a group of young people who were at a table near me. They were talking and laughing pretty loud, and as they were harrying, I started studying each one. There were three couples who looked like good friends … They were not more than 25 years old and had the all-rounder and arrogance of the young people of nowadays. In my soul I was already hating them. One of the boys was watching me discreetly since he came … Although his girlfriend was sticking to him, his gaze was on me. And I looked at him, and looking at each other, I surprised him smiling. That game that we were playing, by looking at each other, overturned my black thoughts that was stifling my mind. He had a warm smile and playful eyes … when he got up to go to the bathroom he passed by my table smiling at me again. I smiled at him without wanting, noting that he was tall and supple, and he was pretty elegant in his move. I thought he was flirting with me and I gave him a delicate reply with an accomplice smile. His girlfriend had not seen anything. He was a young man, very tall, with dark hair and green eyes. Probably his girlfriend was melted for him. I liked to look at him and watch all his movements … I was fascinated that he was looking like a prince out of a story not specific to the young people of today, who do not know how to look more attractive to brave. I watched him looking at me with his beautiful gaze and long lashes … his beautiful eyes began to lift my pulse .. if he was going to look at me in that way much longer, it was going to make me leave. He seemed agitated but his smile continued to remain on his beautiful face. At one point, he stood up very confidently, and in passing, beside me, he touched my coffee cup, which of course stood directly in my lap, ruining my new dress. I felt like I was on fire and I fixed him with a killing look.
-Why are not you watching where you’re going? Look what you did …
-Miss , I’m so sorry … let me help you … he rushed to tear my dress off with a napkin from the table.
Kneeling in front of me he struggled to clean my dress. Then I noticed his hands with long aristocratic fingers and for a moment I imagined those hands on my naked body. I was quickly shaken by those inappropriate thoughts.
-I am so sorry … maybe I’ll make up one day.
His eyes fixed me, and then I felt he slipped a note between my fingers. I quickly took it and after he smiled briefly he returned to his table … his friends were already looking at us and probably he did not want them to suspect something. I felt like a teenager at her first flirtation. With my heart bubbling in my chest, I opened the note and I looked at the beautiful calligraphy letters:
“ My name is Andrei .. You are incredibly beautiful and sad … I can not look away from you … No
I don’t want to lose you, I would never forgive myself … Please call me ! and he wrote a telephone number. I’m not trying to hang you, I just want to stay in front of these astonishingly beautiful eyes. Do not avoid me. ”
I read the ticket several times, and I stared at the young man. His girlfriend does not let him breathe but
he gave me a peeking look under his lashes. I suddenly got up from the table without looking at him, but I walked past his packed table with a broken soul. At home I found myself in my favorite armchair, me, myself and the loneliness that was accompanying me for several good months. He left me for another woman, and he even set up the divorce and he was coming weekly to take his things. That day was my birthday for 40 years, and I did not even get a phone call from him.
He had forgotten me completely, he had taken me out of his life for ever … the thought of leaving me with my desolate soul brought tears in my sad eyes. Suddenly I remembered the boy at the cafe … I disrupted the crumpled ticket and felt the need to call him. He immediately responded with a warm voice.
-Hi, Andrei, we met today at the cafe, you gave me a ticket with your number.
-Hello, I was looking forward for your calling. I did not know if you took me seriously.
– My name is Olivia.
-Nice to meet you, Olivia, a name so beautiful for a wonderful lady! I would like to see you , to admire you, are you married?
I made a painful break.
– I’m not married anymore. Is my birthday today and nobody said me happy birthday.
-I wish you a happy birthday and I am honored that I can do that …Happy birthday, beautiful lady ,and I hope you will find the happiness that you deserve it, soon!
I felt hot tears running over my cheeks. It had been an eternity since someone had told me “beautiful lady”.
-Thank you Andrei, you made my day.
-I thank you because I met you.
-You’re a young man.
– Do not treat me like a child I’m 27 years old.
-You’re so young!
– I’m a man and I do not want to leave you alone tonight.
-Oh no, Andrei, we just knew each other …
-I just want to keep you company .. no one should be alone on his birthday .. if you’re afraid of me we can see in town.
– I do not want you to dirty another dress. I joked … the ingenious method of hanging.
-I’m sorry for the dress.
-I was kidding, I don’t care about dress.
Although I hesitated at first, he persuaded me to meet at the cafe where we saw each other for the first time. He had come first and he was waiting for me at my lonely table. When he saw me, he stood up and kissed my cheek. I looked at him without breathing, he was more taller than me. He gave me a red rose. He was a young attorney at the beginning of the road, and I was an ex-wife who had lived all her life in luxury, without working. I offered my mouth voluptuously and we kissed with passion. I nudged at his chest, receiving the fury of his kissing. I felt his hands on my body and I had a feeling of faint, I wanted him so hard that my skin ached and I realized that I had thought about him all the time since our eyes met for the first time. I had lost my head and would not have refused to make love right there in the park. I took his hand and we went silent to my house … I let him in, I did not light the light and I threw myself like a lioness in his arms. I was amazed by my reactions, how crazy we kissed , how I was taking off my clothes to be possessed and loved by him … We kissed each other madly and we undressed each other on the way to the bedroom on the bed that I had shared with the other not long ago. I let him explore me everywhere and I opened my feet wide. I forced him to penetrate me and he did it gently but firmly and so deeply that I had the feeling that I felt him in my stomach. I started to moan and wave under him, asking him more and more, begging him to get inside me, always and always, to rub into me. We kissed and fucked at the same time in a demented rhythm that, instead of getting tired, it gave us wings for more and more. The next morning I woke up the morning sun, I watched dizzy around thinking of me again that I spent a night alone when I watched Andrei still sleeping next to me. Then I remembered my hot night and I started to realize how much I had been daring with so much passion for a stranger, to a man I had just met.
I watched him for a long time as he slept, even in the light of the morning he was beautiful … I got up out of bed and I headed for the bathroom … I dreamed in the shower and I let go of the water … at that moment I felt two arms around me, and I saw Andrei that was naked next to me.
-You scared me!
He was looking at me.
-What is it?
-I think I fell in love with you.
-You’re crazy!
– I’m crazy about you!
