Sheila

She was wearing a red dress and was drowning herself of wine. She can't forget. It was in the 80's when they all had crazy hairstyles and paddings. Now she's in her 40's. Twenty years. She could have raised a child of her own but she didn't. Instead, she chose to be a childless mistress. She's still very beautiful though. In fact, she looks young for her age. But she's all wasted inside. She drives a car to the nearby salon. She's used to the galant pampering and the galant everything. She reaches her credit card from the bag. The salon cashier swipes it, and it's gone. She has no cash with her. The salon cashier forgives her as she has been a loyal customer. Now she goes home and decides to look for a job and start over. She's just so lonely. She depended on the guy so much. Now, she's left with nothing. He's gone. Forever. She was just 25 when they first met. The guy was married and she never entertained the idea of loving him. He pursued her for 3 years and he won her heart through lavish gifts and numeous dates. She asked him why he was doing this and he said that he was not happy with his marriage. She herself was on the rocks with her boyfriend at that time so she blindly succumbed to the idea of becoming this rich guy's mistress. They would check in hotels all-over the country and even abroad. It was like seeing the world for the first time. She was so happy. This is the life that she has always wanted. She was tired of poverty. She was tired of just buying surplus stuff. She wanted more out of life and excess she got. . . (to be cont'd.)
