I work from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm everyday and only get 2 coffee breaks. One 15 minute break in the morning and another 15 minute break in the afternoon. Luckily, there is a coffee cafe in the building that I work.
That is where I met him. Him…the man of my dreams. The man that will take me away from this 9:00 to 5:00 horror.
I made sure to make a good impression on him. I found out that he works in one of the businesses in the building. I was excited to think that I would see him often during our coffee breaks.
Then one day he didn't show up. I searched and searched, to no avail. I was heartbroken. Where is Mr. Dreamy?
Then I found out the horrible news. He was fired.
My dream of Mr. Dreamy went down the drain along with a cup of cold coffee.
But this morning I met another Mr. Dreamy…
As they say, life goes on.

This made me think of Davy in The Monkees. He seemed to fall in love several times day, every day. Lovely story.

Apparently Mr. Dreamy needs to keep his job so she can quit her’s.

LOL! When you are a young girl there are many Mr. Dreamys Hahaha!
oh yes!
Nice write PJ. Enjoyed the descriptions.
Thank you Kitty!
Welcome PJ!
This is funny PJ. It reminds me of a young girl starting out in the workforce and having crushes pretty much every day with no real substance to them, just for looks or him being nice. She’s doesn’t miss mr. dreamy when he’s gone so you get this sense that she’s flighty. Nice write!
Haha! Yes, you are right! She is flighty! LOL! Thank you so much Mandi!
Very realistic story, PJ. Liked the tongue in cheek humor in it.
Thank you Varad!
Lol PJ! 😀 Life sure does go on
Thank you Joyfrida! 🙂
…and the next one, please! Nice one PJ.

Thank you Keith!
Women do that too? Cute story.
LOL! Yep!
Ha! She didn’t grieve over him for long, did she? Nicely done PJ
Haha! No, she sure didn’t. I think she is a bit flaky. LOL! Thank you Lynn!
My pleasure 🙂
Does fickle even cover this? lol
Hahaha! Yes, fickle and flaky! LOL!
You’re so good at this – such a wonderful imagination! Thanks for another heart-warming tale.
Thank you so much Sharon! I appreciate your comment. 🙂
Like dreams…Mr. Dreamys can come and go in a hurry! You learn from experience though, and given time she will get to really decide what kind of person she wants to get serious with. Hopefully, one day she will probably find the real Mr. Dreamy! And, it will be worth the wait. Lovely story, Joy, and so real to life!
You are so right Jessie! Right now she is just very fickle but when the real Mr. Dreamy comes around she won’t be! Thank you so much!
Oh PJ that’s so funny. I love your imagination and sense of humor. Next man up…lol! 🙂
LOL! Yes, she is a real flake! Haha!
Not sure that is really love, but at least she is hopeful!
LOL! No, it isn’t true love. She is flaky! Haha!
