A Weekend Alone

Frank Scalon paced back and forth in his living room wondering how to spend his weekend. Frank had the weekend off and was alone for his girlfriend Karen Wexler was away.

" What am I going to do without you?" Frank asked himself.

Frank got up and paced some more when the doorbell rang. He went to the door to notice his friend Renee Conner. Frank slowly opened the door.

" Hi Renee," Frank said.

" Hey Frank," Renee said, " May I come in?"

" I guess," Frank said watching her walk in.

Renee was in a way like Karen, short, brown hair, and eyes that drove you wild.

" Are you okay?" Renee asked.

" I miss Karen," Frank said.

" She went away for the weekend," Renee said, " Not out of your life."

" I know," Frank said, " But I can't live without her."

" Talk about true love," Renee said sitting down.

Frank sat down too.

" So what are you doing here?" Frank asked.

" Just because your girlfriend is away," Renee said, " Doesn't mean you have to shut out your friends."

" Renee," Frank said, " I know you, you want more than that."

" What's that supposed to mean?" Renee asked.

" It means you still think we are more than friends," Frank said.

" I do not," Renee said.

" Look," Frank said, " Just stay away from me."

" Fine," Renee said getting up and going to the door, " But it's your problem, not mine."

Renee then left and Frank felt like he made a huge mistake.

Renee went to the park and sat on the empty bench and cried.

" What's wrong with me?" Renee asked herself, " Do I want Frank?"

Renee then got up and came face to face with Chris Ramsey.

" Hey beautiful," Chris said.

" Go away," Renee said.

" What's the matter with you?" Chris asked.

" None of your business," Renee said.

Chris Ramsey had the potential to drive women out of their minds, plus he had the reputation to love them then leave them.

" Renee," Chris said, " Who made you cry?"

" I guess I did," Frank answered coming up.

You?" Chris said, " What did you do to this beautiful creature?"

" Told me the truth," Renee said, " It's not his fault if the truth hurts."

Renee then walked away.

" You know Frank," Chris said, " You are crazy. Renee is so sweet."

" And I love Karen," Frank said, " Renee knows that."

" Do you mind if I take a stab at her?" Chris asked.

" Yes!" Frank exclaimed, " Leave her alone."

Frank then too walked away hoping to still talk to Renee and explain why he said what he did.
