Stupid Story

Ok, I said that I would type my Mr. Newly Married Guy story..here is it. It's stupid, sappy, lacks imagination & character, but what do you expect when you are sitting at jury duty.

Rob lived a pretty satisfactory life - the bacholor's life. He worked downtown, in advertising. It was a tough job, but Rob was talented enough to have a secure & stable position at a well-established agency. He spent his days at work & his evenins hanging out with the guys at the bar or at his place playing video games or watching TV. (yup story starts out with typical bachelor, give me a break ok!)
After some time, Rob's friends started spending less & less time with him. They had girlfriends, wives & families. Rob thought they were idiots & that they were missing out on life.(Uhoh advice from the married friend has to be coming soon) It was his best buddy, Tom who opened Rob's eyes. "Man Rob, love is amazing. It's not the macho (macho did I really use that word..man I stink at this writing thing!) thing to say, but loves makes your life so much better, makes it worth living. When you hands fit into each others like gloves, when you hold her next to you and her hips and waist seem to fit next to you like a perfect fitting puzzle piece & when you look in her eyes & see your future - man, that's beyond words." (aww ain't that sweet!) Rob rolled his eyes, & thought Tom had lost it.
Next day, on the train heading to work, Rob looked up & saw a pretty woman sitting across from him. (we have all read & seen enough to know that she's the one, hate to be a spoil sport, but duh!) She was biting her lower lip, bouncing her feet & her eyes were darting around the train. Rob smiled at her, "You look nervous."
"Yeah, I have a job interview today. I really want this job."
"Well I am sure you will do just fine. This is my stop, but good luck."
"Thanks"
The rest of the day Rob thought about the mystery woman on the train, wondering how her interview went. He wondered if he would ever find the anwer. (yup he's been smitten!)
A week later, Rob had his answer. She was on the train again, only this time she had a big smile on her face. (No good love story happens without a twist of fate!)
"Hey, looks like you got the job"
"Yeah"
"Great, hey this calls for a celebration, care to meet me for drinks after work tonight?" He couldn't believe those words tumbled from his lips.
"Sure sounds great!"
They made plans to meet. Rob & Miranda, his mystery train woman, started spending more & more time together. The first time she took his hand he nearly fell over - no clumsy fidgiting of fingers to get it right - just happened. It started out as a pinky link and soon became the glove Tom warned him about. (Ok we all know parts 2 & 3 are going to be next)
At dinner one night, Rob spent a few more seconds that usual gazing into Miranda's eyes. He couldn't help it, it was like those crystal blue eyes had shown him his future. Again, Tom's words ran through his mind. (#2)
Finally one evening, while strolling through the city, they stopped to admire Buckingham Fountain. Miranda stood in front of him & pulled his arms around her waist - yup just like the puzzle piece. Tom was right. (Damn, he can't ignore it now)
So, one plain borning Tuesday, on their ride to work, Rob got down on one knee & proposed to the love of his life. The entire train, full of blurry eyed commuters, burst into applause. Old ladies grinned, and young women caught the tear that trickled from their eyes. (Awe predictable & sappy moment, so sue me!)
Two weeks before they left for their honeymoon, Rob got his notice for jury duty. So off on his honeymoon he went & upon his return did his civic duty.
Just before he walked out the door that morning, Miranda kissed him & handed him the book he planed to read. What he didn't know was that she had slipped a picture from their honeymooon into it, but when he found it, he smiled, and was glad she did.
And that is now Mr. Newly Married Guy ended up at jury duty that day, reading that book with that picture as a book mark - oh yeah & his last name started with the letters E-N!

Yeah you know I am probably really off maybe they met at a mosh pit, tatoo parlor, maybe they knew each other all thier lives, maybe his mom set them up, or maybe they worked together as teens, or maybe they were enemies in high school, or most likely they probably met over the Internet, any of those is possible, but I like me story better, so NAH
