❤️💔One Sentence Love Story ❤️ 💔
Morning everyone. ❤️
It's that time of year when a One Sentence Love Story is due, as it's the feast of St Valentine. This time it's a story about unrequited love, passion and betrayal, so please feel free to use the power of your imagination when you join in. The idea is, someone writes a sentence (or a short para) following on from the one before
I will then attempt to make a full story out of it at the very end. 😂
I'm hoping, @Mi-Amigo @pgn @TallTrees @gmarkj @J9el @MI5 @LukasB @TheresaV @RafaC ,@lewys-gp and anyone else will join in the 'fun' 😂
I've set the scene so away we go.....
Maxine was a beautiful girl. A real head turner. She was also insane.
No-one knew this as she behaved so normally. Her colleagues at work found her to be hard working although a little shy.
Maxine hated these colleagues. All female and forever talking about their love lives. It was even worse this week as Valentine's Day was approaching. All the talk was about the presents they were expecting, the plans for meals out and the magical trips away.
Maxine didn't join in as she wasn't in a relationship. Nothing ever lasted with her boyfriends. However Maxine was going to change all that.
She had downloaded some dating app sites to her phone, Tinder, OK Cupid and Clover.
Yesterday she found three men who appealed to her. They all had different interests and Maxine thought she had a better chance of finding THE one.
She very carefully arranged to meet them all at different times allocating 2 hrs each…unless of course she found THE one.
John would be first. Meeting for coffee at the local Costa. He claimed to be an IT geek
Paul was 2nd on the list. He said he loved sports. Maxine had arranged a picnic in the park.
Finally there was George. He said he was studying English and Poetry. A few drinks in a local bar, then who knew?
Maxine got dressed and knew she looked stunning.
She packed her bag with some favourite things and set off to meet John.
He was on time and waiting in the café. Maxine thought he looked very presentable, smart suit, clean shaven and quite good looking. She sat down and John was smitten at her beauty…..

Maxine could hear the police car's sirens were very close now so she ran off to her car, leaving a blood trail. Good that blood is red for Valentine's day. Leaving behind another dead body for the Police to clear up

Maxine stopped at a local chemist and bought a bandage for her arm and drove on to the pub. She went into the toilets to clean up the wound and bandage her arm. She headed out into the bar and bought herself a stiff drink while she waited for George to turn up.
She didn`t have to wait long before George appeared....

He was gorgeous looking, rather languid, with longish hair. He was wearing a velvet jacket adding to his mystical charm...

"George looks like a hippy" thought Maxine, smiling at him, and carried on thinking "I love 60s music. Oh George, you could be the one". She asked him "Are you George? I`m Maxine. Let me buy you a drink" and they settled down together in a cosy corner of the pub....

George had brought Maxine a large box of Chocolates with a bow on the top and a bunch of Red Roses.
Oh said Maxine thank you so much. (Thinks that's better)
Two drinks arrive and the conversation about English and Poetry begins

Don't you just love Keats and Wordsworth George drawled....there again a bit of Poe is frighteningly good..
He started to give a poetic lesson to Maxine, which went on and on...

With George mentioning Poe, Maxine`s mind turned to remembering the lyrics "Man you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allen Poe" from "I Am The Walrus" and, smiling to herself, thought "Yes, George you are my little hippy"...
Smitten by George, Maxine, completely out of her usual character, said "George, why don`t we grab a bottle of wine and go back to mine ?"...

Sounds good said George and off they went with George showing off rather a lot, spouting poetry as they walked along. Maxine found herself getting bored...and a red mist started to descend as he wasn't paying attention to her at all really
