We decided to grab some dinner and decided on burgers. I went through the drive thru then we parked in the parking lot and ate.
"So how many kids do you have?" I asked then took a bite of my burger.
He hesitated then answered.
"Three."
"How old are they?" I asked.
My daughter is twenty and my boys are thirteen and ten." He said.
I was about to comment on how I was only two years younger than his daughter, but caught myself as I remembered he thought I was twenty five. I decided to change the subject.
"I've had a really nice day with you." I said after I finished my burger and took a sip of my coke.
He glanced over at me but didn't say anything. He finished the last bite of his burger then took a drink of his coke then looked at me.
"So have I." He said.
We looked at each other then I looked away. I took another sip of coke then looked at him again.
"So are you ready to go back?"
"It's only 7 o'clock." He said as he glanced at the time on the car's dashboard.
"Well it's a long drive." I said.
"Not that long." He said.
"Says the man who doesn't have to drive." I smiled.
"I know this great nightclub we could go to." He said.
I looked at him, unsure. I did want to go, but I didn't want to get drunk and too tired to drive home and be forced to stay with him at a hotel. I knew I could not trust myself to be in a bed with him.
"We can get a hotel room. Then you wouldn't have to worry about driving us back tonight." He said as if he had read my mind.
"I don't know." I hesitated.
"I'll book two rooms. You'll have a room all to yourself." He said.
I thought about it for a minute then smiled.
"Ok." I said.
"Great, but first, let's have a bit of this." He reached down and picked up the brown paper bag from the floor. He reached inside and pulled out a small bottle that said 'chill' on it.
"What's that?" I asked.
"These are edibles." He said.
"What, like weed that you eat?" I asked.
"Yes, basically." He said as he opened the bottle.
"And they get you high?" I asked.
"Not absolutely off me head. They just make you relaxed and slightly buzzed." He smiled as he put one in his mouth and took a drink of water out of the water bottle that was in the car. Then he held out a pill for me, "D'ya want one?"
