Luce

I was lonely and had nothing to do so I decided to meet with my old friend from Whooton. I gave him a buzz and we arranged a meeting that night at Wicker Bar. I was there a bit earlier so I sat down at the bar. I was drinking Scotch and watching the performance of two French ladies – Tina and Janine. One of them played the piano and the other sang. They were awful! Finally Luce showed up. We had a conversation. I wanted him to give me some advice about my life, but he told me that he didn’t feel like talking about such serious stuff. So I started asking  him many questions about his life, dates and girlfriends he had. He told me I was getting too personal and sometimes didn’t answer my questions. Luce was a very intelligent guy. I think almost the most intelligent guy I’ve ever known. I really liked him and I was glad that I didn’t have to be alone. Unfortunately all of sudden Luce stood up and told me he had to go. I begged him to stay and have the last drink with me. He told me he had to go because of his date. When he left I felt very lonely. I had nobody to talk to and felt horrible.
