Her Story

I was working at Walmart.  While working at Walmart I had several men come to me and tell me they know me.  I always figured it was just a pick-up line.  So one day I was getting ready for break and a gray-haired man walked up to me and said, “I know you.”  I responded “Really?  What’s your name?”  “Brian Baker.” is what he said.  I immediately had a memory of sitting on his lap at a New Year’s Party my sister and I had at my parents house at age 16.  I wondered about him through the years and thought about what he might be doing.  “Yes, I do know you.”  I said.  And asked him if he had something to write on.  I gave him my phone number and we went our seperate ways.    I really thought he would call right away and began to wonder over the next few days if he lost my phone number or lost interest.  But he called around 5 days later.  I answered the phone and he says, “I’d like a loser driver”.  I laughed.  He knew I was an Uber driver and he thought it was funny.  So did I.  I don’t remember the rest of that conversation but I do remember we made plans to meet at the pool hall on Thursday night.
