Me And Mrs Jones Read Online Free Page A

they were old friends getting reacquainted or lonely people just searching for someone... anyone to be close to for a minute or an hour.
    Just the thought of sitting down at one of those perfectly designed tables and ending up with another man like her ex-husband sent a quick shiver of apprehension through her body. Renee knew the best thing for her to do was find Dana, pay for her tea order and then make her way back home. There was a pile of information on her desk from potential buyers that she had to get entered into her computer.
    Looking around the café, it took a few minutes but Renee finally spotted Dana near the front desk talking to one of her male employees. Renee maneuvered her way through the tables and was almost at Dana when a young waitress came up to her.
    “Ma’am, are you here for the Speed dating?” she asked. “I can help you get all of your information filled out and then you can join the next round after this one.”
    Ma’am ...
    She hated when a young person addressed her ma’am. The term always made her feel so much older than her forty-two years. In her humble opinion, the greeting should be outlawed from everyone’s vocabulary. She didn’t look old enough to be called Ma’am at anytime in her life.
    Plastering a smile on her face, Renee looked down at the girl’s name tag before addressing her. “No, thank you Becky,” she said in the nicest voice she could muster. “I’m not here for the Speed dating. I need to speak with my friend Dana, but you could get me a cup of black tea and bring it over to me. How about doing that for me instead?”
    Becky frowned at her for a few minutes like she didn’t want to take the order. “Fine, I’ll fill your order.” Spinning away from her, the waitress stomped over to the left side of the café where the specialties teas were freshly brewed for customers; her long brown ponytail swinging behind her neck Renee watched Becky for a few more seconds. She had pissed the girl off to no end and she wondered would she actually be the one who filled her order or would she find someone else to pawn it off on
    I don’t have time for this , she thought to herself Deciding she didn’t want to waste anymore of her energy on the snappy waitress, Renee continued in the direction her best friend.
    “Hey girl,” Renee called out, instantly getting Dana’s attention.
    “Where have you been?” Dana asked walking away from the waiter coming up to her. “I called Cruz and he said you left the gallery about twenty minutes ago.”
    Renee gave her friend a quick hug and then took a step back. “I decided to walk here instead of drive since it was such a nice day outside. You know how much I love spring.”
    “I know. Have you started working in your yard yet?”
    “I’m going to do it tomorrow since its Saturday.” Renee said. “That’s why I’m glad you told me my tea order was in. I want to be able to drink a cup after I finish with my landscape in the front yard. I’ll probably do the back in a couple of weeks.”
    “Yes, your order is in my office,” Dana told her. “I didn’t want any of my employees to accidentally open the box and add it to the other teas. I wouldn’t have been able to order a replacement until next week.”
    Next week....there was no way she could have gone another week without her tea. Since she wasn’t a big liquor drinker, tea was the only thing she used to relax her after a long day at work.
    “Thanks again for thinking to place my tea in your office. I really do appreciate it. So, how is the speed dating going?” Renee asked glancing around at the crowd, glad she wasn’t a part of it.
    Dana’s face lit up like a Christmas tree. “You wouldn’t believe how successful today is turning out. Are you sure that you aren’t a little curious about if you could find someone here? You never know.”
    “Dana,” Renee warned in a low voice.
    Why wasn’t Dana doing the speed dating herself? Most men would love a chance
