If someone told me four years ago that I would be on a date with someone, I would laugh in their faces and flip them off but now I am. I decided to call my ‘hang out’ with Matt a date. I mean it’s not hurting anyone. But I’ll never say it to his face. Knowing Matt, he’ll probably make a big deal of it like worship the ground I walk on.
I'm so powerful. Chuckles.
I’ve been religiously packing and getting ready for my move to Manchester. I don’t get nervous much but I am nervous about moving. I mean I’ve lived in London half my life. This is my home though I barely have people who genuinely care about me.
It’s cool though.
“Let’s play twenty questions”, Matt says out of the blue taking a sip of his vegetable smoothie. Matt is vegetarian. He chose a restaurant downtown London for our date. It’s quite fancy but not too fancy. Just 'OK' and for once I took extra time to look extra good. I mean this is the only time I’ll go on a date so why not look the part?
But twenty questions? Really?
I give him the look
“Oh come on Victoria, I’m 27 not 90”
I smile at that, “fine, fine let’s play. You go first”
He smiles.
“Ok. Favorite color?” he asks.
“Purple. What about you?”
“Orange”
I make a sour face at that. Yuck. Who likes orange? Noticing my reaction, he says,
“Yeah I know it’s girly”
I frown a bit at that. It’s just a color.
Men.
I shake my head, “Pink could be your favorite color and that would be cool. I just think orange is a really gross color. No offence but I mean who likes orange?” I almost shudder.
He raises his right hand up before saying, “This guy. And no offence taken”
I smile and roll my eyes playfully.
“Ok, moving on. First kiss?” he asks.
I shudder grossly this time. My first kiss was horrible.
“It was with a guy called Brandon. I was 13. Worst experience of my freaking life. It was so gross. He was wearing this hideous orange sweater”
A realization shoots across his face. I genuinely think orange is a gross color but my first kiss made me have a personal hatred for the color.
“Oh”
“Yeah, I’m sorry”, I suddenly felt the need to apologize.
“Why?”
“Cause I hate your favorite color”
“Oh. I hate orange now and I’m sorry about your first kiss”
“Oh don’t remind me. And good”
“What’s good?”
“That you hate orange now”
I know he was joking when he said it but I feel the need to tease him. He rolls his eyes then smiles before a sip from his drink his Adam’s apple bopping. Like sure, Adam’s apple is Adam’s apple but damn that is attractive.
Not gonna lie, Adam’s apple looks good on some people like Matt here.
To be very fucking honest, Matt is a really handsome man not to mention hot.
