Another Saturday Night..by Michael

10 Years Ago


Another Saturday night as Danny embraced his mug of half filled beer. The bartender emptied his ashtray and bought Danny his seventh round.  A familiar place where lonely hearts go and drink away their sorrows. A new first time customer came in and sat down next to Danny. The bartender placed a mug of beer in front of her as requested. She sipped and puffed on her cigarettes as Danny finally said hello to her. Their eyes lit up which the bartender noticed, as the mutual attraction was obvious. Denise soon became a regular customer and Saturday nights became much more enjoyable. The bartender knew that they would be sitting together. The third round was on the house as two happy people were no longer drowning their sorrows. It was new years eve when the bartender put down a little black box on the counter in front of Denise. He said, "this one's on Danny". A round applause followed as the bartender announced their engagement to be married. One year later the bride and groom kissed. The bartender smiled as it was just another Saturday night....Maybe a first time customer sits in the right place at the right time. For Danny and Denise, it sure worked out in this short love story about another Saturday night....
