Share it:      Memoirs of a Broken Heart - by Paul Goosia (This is based on a true story which occurred in my imagination :-)
She walked into the video store, and Bob knew it was love at third sight. He had seen her twice already that day, in a local book store and in a parking lot, but there was something about the way she strolled in, as she entered the adult section at the back. Bob had already been there for at least an hour; he couldn't decide over ‘Saving Ryan's Privates', or ‘Forrest Hump'. As soon as she started browsing through the DVDs, Bob began shifting his position. Should he hide himself from her, he quickly thought to himself; I mean he wouldn't want her thinking he was some loner pervert guy who always hung out at the XXX section.
"Wait a sec . . ." he thought, "What's ‘she' doing in the porn section? Well at least we have similar interests; that's a start".
Bob crept behind some shelves, hoping she wouldn't notice him, and made his way closer to the front of the shop. His plan was one of those cheap moves, where he would accidentally bump into her as she made her way out of the store, and then introduce himself, etc.
Thirty minutes went by, and Bob remained where he was, his eyes fixed only on this magnificent woman, with legs longer than a giraffes, and a smile to die for. Then another thirty minutes went by, and Bob was still in a fantasy world of his own where the sexy brunette was caressing him in his arms. He kept praying she would make her way out as soon as possible.
"Damn, is she some porn freak", he silently thought to himself after another thirty minutes.
And then as luck would have it, she began to make her way to the counter at the front of the store, holding five DVDs. Within a flash, Bob looked up to the ceiling, and walked directly into her.
"Oh I'm sorry, I was just ahh ... looking at the ... the ... the lights, and how ... bright they were". His excuse couldn't have been any lamer. "Hi I'm Bob!"
"Hi, I'm Cindy, nice to meet you!"
The conversation went on for a while, and eventually continued until they found themselves in a coffee shop an hour later.
They talked about their day, their jobs, music, new movies, you know, the usual stuff. Bob was falling more and more in love with this woman by the minute. After a few hours, Bob came to ask her about her DVDs she had just rented.
"Oh these are for my boyfriend, we just love erotic movies, you know, to spice up the love-making!".
In an instance, Bob's heart had almost popped out of his chest cavity. It was a mixture of a broken-heart, and most of all - anger.
"Excuse me, you invite me for coffee, tell me everything about yourself, and then tell me you have a ‘boyfriend'. How dare you! Who do you think you are!" Bob said in a loud voice.
"I'm sorry, I mean I thought you were gay", she embarrassingly responded
"What gave you the slightest idea I'm gay?"
"Well for one thing, you were standing at the gay porn section for over an hour". Copyright 2008 Paul Goosia |
