Charlie mae waits, she smokes cigarette after cigarette slowy, pulling a mirror out each time to reapply her lipstick. looking in her mirror, she looks over the bar behind her a man holds his glass to his temple, crying, and singing along to a imaginary song, down the bar a couple argue, whispering loudly, she recognizes the wildness in the woman's eyes as she sips her drink , he is clearly under her spell. charlie mae sees it. see, she was born with a veil over her face, that gave her seeing powers. the woman slams her drink on the table, mutters something evil, causing the man to get up and storm out. the woman continues to sit, not loosing her stare, her eyes follow his back out the door, she finishes her drink, and leans back in her seat. muttering muthafucking gemini's...minutes later...the guy walks back in, sits back down. he looks over at charlie mae, she sucks her teeth. the woman gently grabs his hand, and mouths i love you....alcohol love yall....he looks around to make sure no one sees his softness, he melts into her hands, rubbing them all over his face, they get up and leave. Charlie mae smiles, where is her james? he has kept her waiting for over two hours..........
