"He did what!?" Bianca screams into the phone causing me to hold it away from my ear.

"You heard right." I put the phone back to my ear and pick the right fruits to purchase at the store. "And Mirella just had to make things worse for me."

"Well, what Blake did was kinda hot."

"Really Bianca? After all that I told you the first thing you say is that what he did was hot...I need a new friend."

"No you don't, I am here to give you good advice. Remember that Blake is hot, so almost everything he does is hot!"

"We are talking about an ex I am over-" I stop in my tracks and think my statement through, "an ex I am 75% over."

"I think you're not 75% over him."

"100% over him? Got it, I do need you in my life." I smile as Bianca sighs and mutters a lot of nonsense.

"Are you ready for your date?" She asks, changing our topic- which I'm grateful for.

"Yes, I am."

"Do you know what you're going to wear?"

"Yes I do. I am thinking my white dress which reaches my knees and is-"

"Strapless. Yeah I ship that, you're going to look beautiful. And what about your hair?"

"I am thinking of letting it down."

"It's official then! Don't forget to tell me all about it."

"I won't. Bye Bi!"

"Bye."

Our call ends and I move to the cashier with one thought in my head, I am over Blake so I announce it.

"I am over Blake." I tell the cashier that is now looking at me like a madwoman.

"Good for you." The teenage girl forces a smile and continues to help pack my things.

Do I feel any better? Nope.

FIRST DATE

The place is nice. Chilled and does look romantic because it is at a high land giving access to see the city view and since it is night, everything is really beautiful. Currently I'm listening to the guy tell me about his work which is almost the same as that of Blake. And yes, I shouldn't think about him in such a beautiful night...righ-

"Do you still talk with your ex-husband?" Jarred, my date, asks.

Jared is probably my height when I'm not wearing my heels, and I have no problem with that. When he gave me a hug it was cute and he pulled out a chair for me which was double cute. He is bald yet has a beard which looks well kept. So far he is ticking my boxes.

"Yes I do, only because of our child." I take a bite out of my seafood casserole.

"Right...could you maybe set a meeting for the two of us."

And the ticks I had placed in his boxes disappear, "what for?" I wipe my mouth with the napkin.

"Him and I have the same career and I would really love to make business with him. You know when I saw that you liked my profile back, I just had to seize the opportunity. I also can't believe that I'm on a date with Blake's ex. We at least share something." He smiles at me as if telling me that he saw a business opportunity through me and the other thing he said is not insulting.

"Mmm, I am sure if you book an appointment on your own the chances of him agreeing will be very high than if I introduce you." I already imagine Blake saying a firm no.
