Disclaimer: the only thing I own is Tyi,
and Marcel, the pet shop lady, and other character that is not apart of the World
of Dragonball Z. I don't claim to own this series,
even though I wish deeply I did. So don't sue me, unless you just want my
chewing gum.
SIGNS…
Hi my name is Tyi Rollins, ever had one of those days where you get the
instinct impression, that maybe everything doesn't happen by coincidence. There
is such a thing as fate and destiny.
Signs
good or bad. It the universe way of dropping a hint to you that hey things just
don't happen. Well, I had one of those days and it all started with a
cup of coffee, and a missing wallet.
I'm a regular at
Today, my friend Marcel
joins me for a cup of coffee, and newspaper. He checks his horoscope daily
along with this week lottery numbers. He avid believer in the whole 'fate &
destiny' thingy, I on the other hand don't.
"See, here girl,
it says: Fortune will smile upon you, leading you on path to happiness, where
your prince will sweep you off your feet…"
I stare at him
for moment as sip my cup of Joe. "Oh wow, lucky me…" I said dryly. Marcel is
not the type to back down from a debate, which by my response opened the invitation.
"Which part don't
you believe?" he asks me.
"The
part where my 'prince' sweeps me off my feet and we fly off into the sunset
together, living happily ever after."
I rest my chin in
my hands, waiting for him to give me another smart ass remark.
"You don't
believe in…" he was interrupted by a couple that was having a very 'loud'
discussion on their whole relationship. I pointed to the couple as to prove my
point, there is no such thing as true happiness. You don't get what you want.
Life never gave you what you wanted. At lest you come into this world thinking
you know what you want, but somewhere between puberty and twenty one, you get
confused on what you want and you spend the rest of your life trying to figure
that out.
"No, I don't
believe in that fate and density crap, life is one big WHY? And there is no one
around to give you the answers. I think people just believe in Fate and
Destiny, DNA, or whatever makes you feel better about your unanswered questions
to life."
That's when the
girl storms out the café, her boyfriend, in his efforts to catch her, knocks
down two more customers
.
Marcel was going
to counter with another statement when I point to my watch. "You're going to be
late for work" we leave the café. Still talking about the
couple. Interesting how a distress couple brings up a conversation about
our failed romances. I swore off men after Marcel set me up with one his friend's
cousin brother, named Sam, perverted jerk. From the subject
about failed romances, to what I really 'needed' to solve my problems. Sex. I guess its only natural to
move from romance to sex.
"Well, all you need is a man to…"
"…make all my
problems disappear, right?" I pull my jacket closer to my body. The wind was
picking up more than usual, and I can smell the scent of rain, all signs point
to a storm coming. But there is not a cloud in the sky.
"No, a man won't
solve all your problems, but if you find a man that can make cry out 'glory',
than maybe problems won't seem so important"
"So getting laid
is what I need, is that what you're saying"
Marcel didn't say
anything. He knew where my boundaries lie and this time he was smart enough not
to cross that line. We walk in silence for a few blocks. Than
he starts on my horoscope reading again.
"For the last
time …" I stop to check what I just stepped on. A wallet.
I pick it up.
"See, your first
sign, your horoscope is coming true…"
I rolled my eyes,
and tell him I'll see him later. I'm going to be late for work.
