The Yellow Rose

This is a short story of reality and dreams.

 

  

     I arrived at work at 7:56am as I do everyday.

After chatting for awhile with other employees,

I made my way to my office. I was putting my

things away as I looked up on top of my desk,

it was a single yellow rose with a note with it,

The note read, "Doreen, I am looking forward

to tonight, Love Brad." That was so sweet of him to do that.

     After work, Brad met me outside, then we got

into his car. He took me to a nice restaurant

called, Spago. He ordered champagne. The

evening was just amazing, we ate and danced.

When we were ready to leave, Brad said, "Hey

Doreen, wait a minute." I turned around and

I saw Brad on one knee, "Doreen, will you marry? I was in shock, I didn't see that coming.

I said, "yes." The ring was gorgeous. I was on

top of the world when Brad dropped me off at home.

     Once at home, I couldn't sleep, I was to excited. The phone rang, it was Brad, we must

of talked for an hour about the wedding. We wanted to get married right away, We planned it all ourselves.

      We had our wedding one week later. It was

beautiful, I had yellow roses, my favorite. We

were getting ready to go on our honey moon

to Paris, I am so excited. We got to the airport

when all of a sudden...

     I hear my alarm going off, At first I didn't know what was going on Did this really?

I looked around and saw my book  laying next to called, "The yellow rose.

     I got ready for work, a bit upset about the dream, I went to my office and sat down, I

pulled open my desk drawer, and there it was,

One single yellow rose.
