Lady with the light

Lady with the light

She sits at a coffee table alone inside a diner. She has long brown hair wearing a blue cotton dress sipping her olong tea and reading a book. A man steps in the diner and immediately looks her way. She's solely notices him as she can sense when she is being watched. She stays calm and continues to read. Slowly he starts to make his way toward her.

"Hey you!" He says

" Hey.." she doesn't look up. "Funny seeing you here! I haven't seen you in 3 years!" She doesn't look up or speak , she doesn't seem amused."so many good times we had together right? Haha ...say, there's a party back at my place, why don't you come back with me and we can hang out like the good old days!" Now she looks up but with more intense look than he was hoping for. She stared at him for a while then she pushed the other chair out with her foot. " Have a seat." She says he sits down with a stupid look on his face like he won the lottery or something. She takes a deep breath drinks to sip of her tea and lets out a long breath. " I have something to show you... But I'm only going to show it to you." She closes her book and puts it away. " You cannot touch it, you cannot keep it, you cannot hold it. Do you understand?" She looks at him straight in the eyes. He nods excitedly like a dog waiting for a treat. He expected to get something ... but he had no idea what she had to show him. She brings her hands to her chest and starts to pull out something extraordinary. So pretty so bold like a floating ball of light. It was gold and blue with flashes of different colors. It was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen! He gazed at it. "This ... is my light...This is my soul. This is something in me that only I can control. My soul and light is bright and big and it's very beautiful... You..you saw that ." He gazed at her. "So ... You come to me, you asked me for a piece of my light... And when you took it you kept wanting more. You used my kindness and my generosity against me and took away all my light without me even trying to fight to take it back because I was nice... I was sweet..." Her eyes get red with fury. " Look what you did..look at what you have done.. I can't trust anyone now.. Especially you!" He sits up frightened Frozen in shock. She puts out the light closer to him. "Do you see this light? You see how big and bright it is?" She smiles a bit. " This is the brightest it's ever been! It use to be dim when you started to take it all. It started to fade in and out like a stop light. But you take and you take and you take and you take until there is nothing left. ... And here we are. You asking for my light again!" He starts to look mad. "And I look at you in a way that I never thought I could look at you." She smerks " and I start to laugh ... Because I realize the word that gave me hope. The word I should have said along time ago! " She stands up and looks him straight in the eyes. "No." He is furious with anger and he swipes to grab the light!....but his hands just run through it. He can't touch it. He can't touch her light. " No ..you can't have it... No you cannot have a little piece. No you cannot have a piece... you had your chance but you screwed that up a long time ago! You will not hurt me again! " She puts her hands on the table and leans in closer. " The old girl you knew? The one you got all the light from? " She leans in closer and whispers. "She's dead." He backs up angry and frightened. " So every time you ask to take my light? Your gonna realise your talking to the wrong person because this light is mine... And I know who to watch out for! Thanks for the lesson, but I have evolved into someone new. Someone completely riveting ." She puts the ball of light back in her chest. "and that was the last time you will see my light.... now get out!" He stands furious and stomps out of the dinner. "Fucking bitch!" He screams. She smiles feeling alot more content then before. She finishes her tea and walks out the dinner. She gets into her car and starts to drive home, as she drove away, little happy tears started to form for she felt light! Like she could barely touch the ground. She was her own peace.
