Dress

Chapter 3

I grabbed my bag and started walking towards the entrance. As I went in I looked around and realized something, I have no fucking clue of what he looked like.

- Fucking great.- I mumbled to myself.

I was ten minutes early so I decided to sit at a table and wait for him to come.

- Hey, how can I help you?- A waitress said smiling at me.

- Hey, can I have a table for two?-

- Of course, follow me.-

I followed her to a table next to a window. I sat down on one of the chairs and looked at her.

- Can I get you something to drink while you wait?-

- Yes please, can I have a martini?- I'm sure I'll need a few of those for tonight.

- Sure.- She wrote it down and walked off. 

While I waited for my martini, I looked out of the window. Suddenly someone pulled me out of my trance.

- Is this seat taken?-  It was a good-looking guy. Brown hair and blue eyes, and pretty tall. 

- Sorry, I'm waiting for someone.- I said while I smiled.

- Are you Meredith?- He asked as he seated on the chair.

- Yeah the one and only, do we know each other?- I was confused because I swear I had seen this guy before, but I don't know where.

- Well we don't, but I'm your date.- He handed me his hand to shake it.

- Meredith Brook.- I introduced myself as I shook his hand.

- Josh Richards.- Oh crap, I know him from Tik Tok.

- You are the guy from Tik Tok right?- 

- Yeah that's me.- He nodded his head and laughed.

Before I could answer him the waitress came with my drink, it took her long enough.

- Thank you. Could you bring me another one please?- I asked her.

- Sure.-

- I'll have one of those too, please.- Josh said.

-Actually, could you make me a favor? Could you keep bringing one of these every fifteen minutes?- I said smiling.

She nodded and left. I would need a lot of alcohol to get through this date. Josh looked at me with a weird face after I told her that, I mean I don't blame him.

- Look, I'm pretty sure you are here because Tom made you. And I'm here because Violet made me come too. I don't need to go on a date or anything like that. I don't like the blind date thing, because I could be literally talking to a serial killer right now and I wouldn't even know. Don't take it personally though, it's just this whole idea seems weird.- After that sentence, I proceeded to drink everything that was on my glass, just before the waitress came back with another one for me and one for him.

He looked at me and laughed a little bit. 

- First of all, you can relax I'm not a serial killer, or at least not yet. Second of all, yes Tom kind of forced me into this, they are a little bit worried because I'm not engaged like them or something.-

- Exactly, that's why we are going to proceed to plan b.- I finished my second martini before continuing talking. - Plan b goes like this. We both get up and leave, we don't have to try to get to know each other or anything like that. And when Violet and Tom ask us about the date we tell them that we had a great time, but there wasn't any chemistry.- I looked at him and waited a few seconds before he answered.-

- Okay, if that it's what you want fine by me.- 

We got up and I grabbed my things. I went to the bar to drink my third martini before paying. Then I went towards Josh.

- I'm going to pay for my drink and then we can leave.-

- Don't worry Richards, it's on me. It's the least I could do after this... Um, interesting night.-

- Thank you, and yea it was definitely an interesting night.- He said smirking.

Once we were outside of the restaurant we looked at each other and he was the first one to speak.

- Well thanks for tonight.- 

- You're welcome.- I winked.

We shook hands and glanced at each other one last time before heading off to our cars. As I climbed into my car I signed. That didn't go exactly as I expected but it wasn't that bad. I mean he is going to lie to Tom and Violet, or at least I hope he does, so they will never find out about this.

I started playing my favorite playlist to forget about the "date", and I started driving back home. It looks like I'll be able to have the night for myself after all.

A/N: They finally met! That for sure wasn't what we all expected but they had a fun time. I'm sorry about the length of this chapter but I only wanted to talk about the date on this one, so that's why it's shorter. Bye guys!
