The Stab of Disappointment

Preparing for a really nice dinner with some friends is always exciting. I speak from experience when I say that even if you have a tiny little town house, it can still take you 5 hours just to clean the down stairs. So this past friday my family and I were having some friends of ours over for some dinner. But this wasn't just anyone. There was "supposed" to be this one lovely man coming, who I have been infatuated with. It was an instant attraction when I saw him, and I was so excited to see him again. I made everything look homey and lovely for when they came. I had little tea lights twinkling, and some Billie Holiday singing away. I even had made the most delicious coconut cake recipe ever created. I can definitely say that it was made with love. It was still uncertain if he was going to be attending, so I needed to know......: ( it was a no go. He had other prior engagements. I acted so foolishly when I found out. I actually went in my closet and cried, but only for a mere second of course. That was the biggest disappointment I've had in a while. Well I'll put it this way, if he didn't come, then maybe it wasn't meant to be. All was well the rest of the night, but I still felt sad after the night was over. So here is my advice, never miss a dinner with friends, because you may miss out on a scrumptious piece of coconut cake. Till next time
