Breathtaking Beauty

             After Mrs. Mitty came out of the drugstore, they climbed into their automobile, Walter fastened his seat belt, turned on the windscreen wipers and carefully pulled away from the curb. As they drove out of Waterbury he noticed... that he forgot to buy his wife some vitamin pills from the drugstore. At the the back of the store he saw without a doubt the most beautiful women, standing by her lonesome self, stopping to smell the roses . She took his breath away. He stood there in awe, he wanted to socialize with her. He was sweating bullets as he approached her steadily. As he came closer, he thought to himself that it had been 16 years that he had been married to his wife, what a long wasteful time. Now he knew that good things really do come to those who wait. He thought it was destiny that himself and this mysterious, perfect women were both at the drugstore. He thanked his unworthy wife because she told him to come to the drugstore in the morning, the early bird gets the worm. He stood in front of her, staring with a blank look on his face. "Cat got your tongue?" she said with the most melodic voice, like a thousand harps playing at once. She laughed, showing her stunning smile and turned around and elegantly walked away. He shook himself to reality and grabbed those roses she was smelling earlier. He pricked his thumb as the grabbed the roses, oh well he thought, no pain, no gain. He stood in front of her again, and with a stiff gesture, he quickly gave her the bouquet. Now she laughed and smiled, she was truly an angel sent from above. They both stood there hand in hand. She really knocked his socks off, they were like two peas in a pod. His wife would be so very disappointed in him, but he didn't care.....speaking of the devil he felt a sharp jab in his back, "Are you even listening to me?" Mrs. Mitty said, "I'm getting late for my dentist appointment. Hurry up!" He put the pedal to the metal, and thought to himself on this dark and stormy night that the grass is always greener on the other side.
