A Slice Of Victory
"What do you want me to do with this chocolate cake Ares?" Mandi asked while eyeing the beautifully decorated cake on the counter. The missing two pieces, one on each side did nothing to take away from the detail put into the cake. She looked at the back of a auburn colored ponytailed head with fly away strands dancing under the ceiling fan.

Call it Fate
I made an unnecessary loud sigh while looking out across the parking lot from my vehicle. I didn’t know how I let my friends convince me to go against what I said I would never do again. I flipped down the sun visor and slid open the mirror to examine my face for the umpteenth time. No pimples had popped up in the last 15 minutes. No puffiness around the eyes, nothing peeking from my nose. He seemed genuine enough when we talked on the phone and boy was, he patient. This is our third time trying to meet up…or should I say this is the third time I had agreed to meet him, and hopefully I could swallow my nerves enough to follow through. My mind went back to three years ago when I tried the online dating thing for the first time. Things were so different. For one, we were not dead smack in the middle of a pandemic and two I was way more optimistic then. I should have put things in perspective after filing the restraining order against the guy, even though it wasn’t really that much of a horrible ordeal. It was only one date and meeting up and finding a man that looks nothing like his profile, holding roses, a portfolio and a cat did nothing to make me question my judgement even a little bit. I could look past him being 5 inches shorter than I was. I could look past the beer belly. I mean I barely even flinched over what turned out to be nudie pictures in his portfolio. It was the cat that did me in. I hate cats. People got "Cat fished" all the time. It was my first go at it, I almost expected it. The only reason the restraining ordeal was filed was because he kept coming to my place of business apologizing for the cat.
