Look at me

Just this Once

Jaime

This is not what I expected when I agreed to that blind date. I should have known better than to trust Joey. He probably thought this would be funny.

Earlier

"Oh come on Jaime. It could be fun." Joey was curently with Jaime in their favorite coffee place trying to convince her to go on a blind date.

"Not gonna happen Joey." She hadn't been on a date in years. It's not that she was unattractive. No, that wasn't it at all. She was just simply to buzy. "Who needs a man anyway. That's what you guys are for. I'll just marry starkid and live a happy life."

"Please. Just this once. I'll even come with to bail you out if something goes wrong."

She looked at him for a long time, considering the offer. He had never given her any reason not to trust him, so she reluctantly said, "Promise to bail me out as soon as something goes wrong and take me straight home no questions asked?"

He smiled his crooked smile and grabbed her left hand and raised his right in the air and said, "I, Joey Richter, herby promise to bail out Jaime Lyn Beatty at any time during her date and take her home without any questions upon her request."

She giggled at his display. " I do have some questions about this man though. For starters who is he?"

" His name is Jacob Thompson. He's 30. He is a electrition from the company that fixed my lights a few weeks ago. We are pretty good friends. He saw a picture of you on one of the tables-"

"Hold on. Why do you have a picture of me in your apartment?" She looked at him confused. She was flattered that he would have a picture of just her lying around his house, but-

"Oh it's just one of the group pictures from MAMD. Nothing special, anyway he asked if I knew you and if you were single. I said I would try to set you guys up and now here we are."

She rolled her eyes. "So, you just assumed that I would agree to this blind date after not dating for years."

He smiled again. "Yep, and it worked."

She stood up and playfully hit his arm. "You are lucky I like you. I'm trusting you to set this thing up. Text me the details latter." Then she left the little coffee place.
