Miracles of Sticky Notes
Original Story by Kristin Rutledge
It was a typical day at the office. Nothing unusual was going on, which meant
they would have to go through the same ole routine that they go through every
day. Macy had just started working here
about 2 months ago. She didn’t like the
job that much, but her family needed the money so somebody had to do
something.
There was one thing that she did like about this job though,
a handsome young man worked in the cubicle right next to hers. She had often wanted to speak to him, but she
was far too shy. One morning, she got to
work at 8 am just like usual. Someone
had left a blue sticky note on her desk.
She got up and looked around, and the young man in the cubicle next to
hers was grinning. She then sat back
down. She was so surprised by the note that
she did not even read it, but she knew that it must be from him. So she began to finally read it: “Hi
Macy! I’m Chris! How are you?”
She didn’t know what to think. She
was also wondering how the young man knew her name. She then began to write back on a pink sticky
note. When the young man got up, Macy
went up to his cubicle and placed the note on his desk.
After an hour, Chris returned. He found the pink sticky note sitting right
in front of him. He knew it must be from
Macy, for no one else knew about this new way of conversing. He read it through several times: “Hi
Chris! I am fine. It’s been a long day. How about you? Oh and by the way, how did you know my name?” He was so startled that she had actually
answered his message. He sat for a while
thinking of what to say. Then finally he
thought of something. He quickly jotted
it down and left it on her desk, and then he went home.
That night, Macy was preparing to leave. She was packing up all her things when she
noticed the light blue sticky note on her desk again. It read: “Meet me at the Coffee Shack before work.” She was so excited that she almost
fainted. She looked into his cubicle and
saw that he was already gone. She was
not able to give him an answer. She
figured that she would go ahead and go and if he was there then she would stay,
but if he wasn’t she would just go on to work early.
Early the next morning, Chris was waiting at the Coffee
Shack. He was hoping she got the
message. He was just about to give up
when he saw her striding up the sidewalk at full speed. He checked his bag and made sure he still had
his pad of sticky notes. She walked up
and waved at him.
They sat down together and both ordered a hot coffee with a
doughnut. They were both kind of quiet
until he wrote a sticky note and put it in front of her. “Good morning! You want to just chat like this?”
She did not bring any sticky notes of her own so she wrote
on the back of his, “I can’t because I did not bring any of my own.”
He quickly wrote out another one and gave it to her, “Well
then, why don’t you talk to me?”
She did not really know why she did not say anything. She then wrote on the back, “Just shy I guess. I am not really a forward person.”
He read the note and then said to her, “Then let me be
forward! I am glad I met you! You are the sweetest, cutest, and prettiest gal
I’ve ever met!”
She was so surprised to actually hear his voice that all she
said in reply was, “I am glad I met you too!”
He chuckled and said, “Now that’s the smile I wanted to see!”
2 years later
They were still meeting at the coffee shack just before work
like always, and Chris always brought his sticky pad just in case. He wanted to ask her something this morning,
but he was scared to say it. Finally he
pulled out his pad and began writing, “I love you Macy! Through these past two years, I have gotten
to know you more and more! Will you be
my wife?”
Macy read it, jumped up, and kissed him. They were married the next month. This is a miracle caused by sticky notes. Did they ever live happily ever after? That you’ll never know, for the story ends
