The Speed Dating Project

Venus | Chapter 1

I had everything planned out. I thought it was going to be perfect. Well it wasn't, actually it was far from perfect. I actually thought I was going to die alone. But then I decided to do something about it. Ok, so in the very beginning it started out fine. I met a very lovely man during a speed date. It was at Underground, bar and grille. The food and scenery was lovely. Anyway, he was very handsome, he just had a face that stuck with you. He actually started the conversation, which had me feeling pretty good about him.
"Good afternoon, I'm Brandon." He says in a very cute way
"Hi Brandon, I'm Venus." I say calmly
"Well Ms.Venus your very beautiful." Brandon says all flirty
"Thank you Mr.Brandon." I'm practically drooling right now.
"What made you decide to come speed dating today?" I ask him
"Well I got tired of being single. I've been single for almost 5 years. So I decided to come here." He says

After a few minutes of talking to Brandon I don't even want to meet other men. I knew that I wanted nothing more but to go on another date with him. Well technically a real date with him. He seemed really into me and I know for sure I'm really into him. But why am I so in love with him if I barely even know him. I'm so weird. Well that and the fact that I'm blinded by his cuteness. Anyway I keep him in mind as the next man comes over.
Now this next man is nothing like Brandon, if fact he's the exactly opposite of Brandon. I decide to start the conversation this time.
"Hi I'm Venus."
"Nice to meet you Venus, I'm Randell." He says in a very chill way
"What made you decide to speed date this afternoon?" I ask
"To be completely honest with you Venus, I'm just looking for a lady to cuddle with during late nights." Randell says, still in a chill way

The conversation with Randell didn't last very long after that. But after about 2-3 hours of speed dating, there was nobody that I was interested in except Brandon. I'd met nerdy men, sporty men, conceited men, and men like Randell. So at the end of speed dating, I got Brandon's number. We talked and planned our first official date for next Saturday night for dinner and a movie.

So around Thursday night Brandon called me to make sure we were still on for Saturday. Of course we were, but I have absolutely nothing to wear on Saturday. So what did I do on Friday, go shopping. I bought a lovely red velvet cocktail dress and some heels. I guess that's good, right? Whatever, so on Saturday night I got dressed and called Brandon.
"Hey Brandon, it's me Venus. I was calling to see what time you wanted to meet at the movies."
"Hey Venus, where are you now?"
"I'm at my house right now, why?" I say extremely confused
"What's your address? I'm coming to pick you up and escort you to the movie theater. I would love to know more about you." He says all flirty
"Oh ok. My address is 6548 Sunburn place."
"Ok cool. I'm on my way."

I was so confused when he asked for my address and then said he was coming to pick me up. Whatever, that's cool. I was reading a really good book for about 25 minutes, and then my door bell rang. It was Brandon, ok ok ok I'm ready. When I opened the door, he looked so sexy. He looked better than before and I looked all decent. I'm kidding I looked bomb and I was so ready for this date. We walked to the car and headed to the movies.

In the car, I noticed that he isn't the best singer. At least he isn't a professional singer. Everything was fine, we listened to 93.9 WKYS and WPGC 95.5. Then all of a sudden, Hello by Adele comes on. Now I personally love this song, but umm how can I put this nicely;he sounded like a dying dinosaur whale foreign creature thing. It was horrible, completely horrible. Now I'm not one to judge but it was just that bad. See now if I was singing then he would be saying the same thing about me, but I personally know that I can't sing. Honestly, I don't think I mind the fact that he can't sing because that's something we can bond over.

Just as we pulled up to the movies, Brandon stopped and looked me in my eyes. He just sat there looking all sexy. The way he looked at me gave me chills.
"Venus, your eyes are just so beautiful."
"Thanks Brandon, but they're just brown eyes."
"They are most definitely not 'just brown eyes'!!" The way he mocked me was just so hilarious.
"So what exactly are they then?"
"They are beautiful, hazel eyes that leads to the soul of a gorgeous woman."
Brandon is just so sweet, I'm just sitting over here blushing so badly.

Literally right before we get out the car, my phone rings. I decided to ignore it, but then this person kept texting me. The more I ignore it, the more concerned Brandon started to become. I finally pick up my phone, sadly only to see that my ex from 5 years ago is texting my phone. Why does he still have my number, what could he possibly want now?
