Robert woke up a whole 7 minutes early this morning: 6:43 this morning. Of course, he had to wake up as it was Casa de Waffle's annual free waffle day. Which didn't really matter to Robert as paying the dollar and thirty seven cents that a waffle costs really was not on the list of his priorities. What was on the list however, was the young lady he bumped into the previous day. The one who fascinated him and managed to captivate him all day. The same one who shot any glimmer of productivity out of Robert for the day.
The waffle and cup of coffee were good, which is far better that average for an establishment as poorly run as Casa de Waffle. The cup of coffee, despite still being coffee, made Robert feel much better and cleared his thoughts a little bit. He settled up at the counter and left, putting his coat on as he walked out the door, stopping to hold it open for the customers walking in. He was about to let it go when a young woman walked in, smiled at him, and walked inside. She smiled a smile so enthralling Robert could hardly believe she was real. He was lost in a dumbfounded stupor as he walked out of the restaurant. He wanted to go back, he wanted to introduce himself, and he wanted to ask her if she was doing anything later but he didn't. He simple went and sat down on a bench across the street. He sat there and he waited. He waited for the young beauty to walk out so he could talk to her, and that's just what he did. He walked up beside her and introduced himself, she replied with the name "Mary", and he talked to Mary for a short while, the usual jabbering on about the whether, the traffic at the moment, and so on. And after an all too short period of time, they parted ways and Robert made her a promise, a small, harmless promise. And he left, to go do nothing with his day as he tried to do as little work as possible.
