Malik.
"May I take your order, ma'am and sir?" The skinny overly polite waiter asked. I took Ruby on a date to one fancy restaurant on the island. It was really beautiful and expensive as well.
"Urhmm..I would have a plate of fried rice and chicken with coleslaw. Ruby?" I said waiting for her order.
"Jollof rice with moi-moi and chicken" I shook my head, her love for moi-moi was too much. She said so herself. I hated anything relating to beans.
"Get us a bottle of your finest wine"
"Would that be all?" He said again
"Yeah you can go"
"This place is really beautiful Malik"
"Beautiful just like you. I'm serious though. You look really pretty tonight." She really did. She was wearing a glittering silver, tiny strap gown that hugged her body like a second skin. It was really tight, accentuating the curves she had.
"Uh thank you..this is literally the fifth time you're saying it this night" actually she was right. I just couldn't stop staring. I looked at her, her light skin turned red due to how heavy she was blushing.
"So ..I would like to know more about you."
"I don't think there's anything you don't already know about me. We've been going out for two weeks now. You know virtually everything." She replied and I laughed.
"Ok,ok, I'm sorry, I was just trying to start a conversation. Y'know what do people talk about during dates!?." It was her turn to laugh now.
"I'm guessing you haven't been on one before. Well, I don't think there's exactly anything particular been spoken about on dates. So let's play 10 questions while waiting for our order?"
"Why do I feel like this is a bad idea.? " I said,I didn't trust the way she was smiling.
"Warrever, so my first question. Who's your most favorite person?"
"Easy....my little sister. I love her so much"
"Wow...you have a little sister, is she in this uni?"
"Yeah, ever heard of Jemila Jamal??"
"Ohmigawd she's your sister.. wow I di--"
"Sorry it came late, here's your order. Thank you" the waiter dropped the plates of food, two glasses, and the wine. Then he left swiftly.
"So let's eat.." I said digging into the food
"Wow..the food is really nice." Ruby complimented
"I'm glad you like it" I told her smiling.
"So ....back to my game. My next question. What's your colour?"
"It has to be black, yours?"
"I love the color, white"
"Mature color. I think we'd be two boring mature couple" I said laughing.
"You're crazy.. I just love white. It's so pure and mature."
"That's your second question, eight more to go"
"Ok, so what food d'you like best?"
"I love any food, so far it's edible and it doesn't relate to beans." She laughed hard at this.
"What's your problem with beans?"
"I don't know oh, honestly I loved beans before, especially mom's own. I think the hatred started when I was a boarder. It was a really strict school with a food timetable schedule which we followed strictly. Whenever it was the day for beans which I remember was every Thursday afternoon. I would skip lunch and sneak out of the school to buy food or I'd send one of the security guards I was really close to. Then I'd tip him so he keeps his mouth shut. The school beans was one word *horribly terrible*. "
