Black Short Stories : Zoe and Jeffery thank you for adding your flavor to their story...:)

[watzinaname]

I started off this little tale, and I want the Destee writers to add a paragraph or two, to keep this story going...

Out Dated​

As she took the last ornament off the tree, Zoe let out a deep sigh. She gingerly wrapped her Nana's crystal bulb in tissue paper, and nestled it inside it's box. It was almost 5:30. Zoe reminded herself that her date would arrive at six. She almost put another hole in her ear, fumbling while inserting her left gold stud. How in the world could she let herself be talked into a blind date? All Zoe wanted, was a man who found her to be interesting, someone she could be friends with, and dare she even fathom...something more. She fastened another button on her blouse, figuring that cleavage shouldn't be on the menu tonight. Wondering if her date even liked seafood, Zoe sort of had a hankering for shrimp...

About fifteen minutes away, Jeffery was stopped at a red light talking to his friend Dave on his cell. "Can't you give me an idea of what she looks like?" For what seemed like the hundredth time, Dave replied, "No, just enjoy your date." Simultaneously hearing the dial tone and the beep of an impatient driver, Jeffery let out an exasperated whistle as he turned the corner. All he wanted was someone who could appreciate him, someone who he could just be himself with. Slowing down, he located Zoe's townhouse, and parked right in front. Looks aren't everything, but Jeffery felt uncomfortable not even having an inkling about Zoe's appearance. He'll be walking into this date, totally blind...

The Blind Leading the Blind

The suspense heightened as Jeffery rang the doorbell. What would be the first words out of his mouth? Just be yourself, be who you are... he reminded himself. Zoe answered the door and greeted Jeffery confidently and with poise "Good to see you this evening Jeffery, I've heard so much about you, do come in." Jeffery was pleased as punch to find such an attractive date. The sister was fine! Jeffrey, feeling somewhat relieved responded " If I had known that you were as beautiful as this, I would have arrived sooner." Each one to the other seemed awfully pleased.

"Tell me Zoe, why are you wearing shades indoors?" Jeffery asked. "Well, you see Jeffrey, I am sight impaired" answered Zoe. An awkward moment followed. Jeffery said, you're kidding... aren't you?" "Not at all Jeffrey, I've been sightless since birth; what you see is what you get I'm afraid." Jeffery, responded "No baby, let's do this... how about seafood tonight?"

"Tell me Zoe, why are you wearing shades indoors?" Jeffery asked. "Well, you see Jeffrey, I am sight impaired" answered Zoe. An awkward moment followed. Jeffery said, you're kidding... aren't you?" "Not at all Jeffrey, I've been sightless since birth; what you see is what you get I'm afraid." Jeffery, responded "No baby, let's do this... how about seafood tonight?"

Jeffrey, then took Zoe by the arm as they walked outside. He guided her to his car. Opened the door and helped her inside. As he came around to unlock his door.

Zoe, leaned over and pulled up the latch. Wow! he thought. She is very considerate. He liked that!

As they drove west on Sunset Blvd.

Jeffrey said, Zoe i would like to take you to a place that just opened. It is called " Chocolate Sushi "

Zoe laughed out loud. Chocolate Sushi.. she said.

Her laugh made Jeffrey laugh as well.

Yes, Jeffrey said, it's a new japanese sushi bar that started in California.

You don't mind raw shrimp do you?

No, not at all. Zoe, replied.

Matter of fact I have never tried sushi. Tonight Jeffrey.. I am with you!
