Jacky
Oh, not another rainy day! It's been raining for the last two weeks! I want to see the sun shine, everything is so gray and colorless , almost like my life... (Doorbell rings) Oh great!
Jacky:(Putting on a fake smile, she takes a deep breath and opens the door) Aunt Beth ! Long time no see!
Aunt Beth: Jacky you don't have to act, I know you hate me. (Then smiles)
Jacky: (Smiles back) No... I don't hate you, I...(snaps her finger looking for the word) Just can't stand you. (Smiles ones again)
Aunt Beth: Oh Jacky, Jacky! I'm not like your mother, someone has to tell you the truth. If it wasn't for me you'd still be living with your mother. Your mother always treated you like a princess, she gives you everything. I'm the one who convince your mother to buy you a small condo so you'd grow up. It took me years to convince her. But when she saw you hit your 30's and you were doing nothing with your life she finally listen.
Jacky: Well thanks to you I'm here all alone and still have no life, I can't find a job, my life just has no meaning.
Aunt Beth: Jacky, sweetie! You need a husband! To spice up your life.
Jacky: There we go again!
Aunt Beth: You need romance in your life. You need a man's touch. His strong arms around you...
Jacky: Beth, stop!
Aunt Beth: His sweet kisses...
Jacky: Oh please stop! You're going to make me sick!
Aunt Beth: What! Don't you like men?
Jacky: Beth! Don't you disrespect me... I'm 100% woman but, I just don't think I can do those things, Yes I like men they are really handsome and all but that's it. Romance is just , grouse.
Aunt Beth: You are one strange woman... You will die a lonely cat woman.
Jacky: I don't even have a cat. I have a fish.
Aunt Beth: Ok a lonely fish woman. Well I just came to bring you $500 your mom sent you. By the way, with that money ,buy yourself a new fish, I think it's dead. (Jacky said "Oh!")
After flushing the fish, Jacky sat down to watch a movie. But the signal was getting lost every five minutes because of the bad weather. So she turned off the TV and just sat on the sofa doing nothing. Then she saw the $500. "Aunt Beck is right in one way, I'm just a parasite. Everything I have is thanks to my wonderful mother. I'm such a looser! " She suddenly got really depress and walk outside in the rain. She walk towards the pool area, watching the drops hit the pool water. A young guy who just moved in saw Jacky by the pool and the lightning was getting near. He was getting candy out of a vending machine.
David: Hi! (Smiles)
Jacky: (Looks up then looks back down)
David: Hey , are you ok?
Jacky: Yes! now leave me alone!
David: I just want to let you know that a lightning storm is about to be here in minutes and it's dangerous.
Jacky: Great, Thanks weather man. ( He began to walk away, but then returned)
David: Lady, I would of left you there but I just remembered I got a job here in this nice condo as a manager and it would not look right if I left you here to get fried. So if you don't come I just might have to call security.
Jacky: Great! Just great! What kind of condo is this! I feel like if I was in a Hotel! I can't even get fried!(Stands up)
David: Can I company you to your apartment?
Jacky: No, I know the way.( He watch her)
Jacky entered her apartment took a hot bath and sat on the sofa to do nothing because there was no signal yet.
Jacky: I can't believe it, the storm has calmed and no signal! ( The door bell rings, she opened the door) It's you , the weatherman...
David: (Smiles) Yea, I just came to see how you were doing.
Jacky: I'm doing great as you can see, so...
David: Here, I brought you some hot chocolate.
Jacky: How am I going to drink something from a guy I just met. I don't even know your name.
Dave: Well It's not weatherman for sure, my name is David. (Jacky smiled a little) You look cute when you smile. Umm is your husband home or your kids?
Jacky: I have no husband, no kids and I just lost a fish.
Dave: Sorry, about the fish.
Jacky: Yea, I think it will be my last fish they die so easy.
Dave: Maybe you should get a cat?
Jacky: No, I don't want to become a lonely cat woman.
David: Can I come in?
Jacky: Umm I don't think so!
David: Are you scared of me? I'm not going to do anything. You can trust me.
Jacky: Not that I don't trust you, it's that I don't trust anyone.
David:(Looks inside) I see you have no signal, weird, you should have signal by now.
Jacky: I know...
David: Can I take a look at it?
Jacky: (Thinks it threw) Ok, but leave the front door open, anyways my brother should be here soon.
David: Ok. So how is your brother?
Jacky: Big and ugly, vicious looking, almost like a pit-bull or something.
David: (smiles like yea right) Ok, let's unplug the box, wait a couple of minutes, and it should be working in no time. One question, what's your name?
Jacky: My name is Jacky.
David: You have such a happy name. How long you've lived here?
Jacky: One year.
David: You must have a nice job to live here.
Jacky: Well actually...
David: Oh look the signal is working! What's your favorite channel?
Jacky: HGTV and the History channel.
David: You gotta love the pawn Stars!
Jacky: Love it!
David: So what were you going to tell me about where you work?
Jacky: Maybe some other time. Do you want a drink before you go?
David: No, it's ok. Enjoy your TV!
Jacky: Thanks.
David: Oh, it was nothing. Wow, the sky cleared up so fast. The stars are sparkling.
Jacky: I have waited two weeks for this, I love clear skies . I hope to see the sun tomorrow.
David: Oh you will, a sweet woman like you deserves to see beautiful days. Good night... (winks to her)
Jacky closed the door, she was no longer feeling so mad and so depress.
What time is it? Tell me it's not raining? (she opened one eye and saw it sunny) Yes! Oh what a beautiful day! Friday here I come! I never do anything or go anywhere on Fridays. Well, today is a new day! I'm going to start by looking for a job... again! But first breakfast at my favorite cafeteria.

Jacky: Since when, I never seen you here before?
David: Since last night. I work here and I have a rented room.
Frank the cook: Jacky, your omelet and juice.
David: I'll get that.
Jacky: No...
David: No, no! Breakfast is on me. (Jacky thought, it would be nice to put my breakfast on you but it would be wasting food.) Sir! Can you make me a nice BLT , and a nice glass of chocolate milk.
