The Second Date Michael's Point Of View

Well, hello. As you see I have a thing for Robin. She's planning hard to get, and I love it. It's only been three weeks, and I'm in love? Indeed. And yet, my studdish figure doesn't want to un purify her. Or she is purifying me? That would be hell of some work.... but I'm growing to live her and I love this feeling! In have to make it up to her, being the host of the first date when I made it. Roomer has it at the steal mill that she likes old Italian foods and other things. So, I'm going to take her out to eat. First I need a suit, a pretty tux if possible. Impressing her is the best I want to do. I kiss her good bye for the afternoon to go thrifting for a new one. I only had ten ruble on me, that should be enough. Walking to the train station riding down town is the best feeling. Thinking of Robin is the best, she makes me dizzy. The abrupt stop to my departure knocked me out my day dream. I rushed off and forgot what I was going to do. Oh yeah! Go home and dress in my finest, buy flowers and sweets to match Robin's personality, chew a mint and rush back to her. Taking a taxi to my bachelor pad opening the door it being trash. What!?! Ugh, fuck this fucked up town! I walked in to check my inventory. Everything was here, but I found a note:

             Dear beautiful,

                                         I've watched you with another woman, what happen to us? I thought you were going to be mine and only mine! You dog, you pig, you discuss! Oh well, I'll be watching you from afar again, it's going on our twentieth year knowing each other! That's exciting, oh and by the way don't try to run or get with that tramp again. For your own good I'm close friends with your side things girlfriend! So do as I say, and love me. I love you

                                                                                     Signed, Pretty <3

Oh god. not this girl again! How did she find me! I'm too old to care anymore. I threw the letter in the trash and stripped off everything and showered up. After the steamy manifest I stepped out and dried, oiled my hair, practice my speech, dolled up, dressed and came out the bathroom a new man. So suave, looking in the mirror in my bedroom I did look good! "Damn, I'm suave as hell. I need to hurry before my love gets impatient". Dancing a fox trot down stairs to my front door grabbing mints and money, I'm off to get laid again. Walking to a near by love shop I pick up yellow dock woodland's, USSR's prettiest flower in my mind. Passing the shops mirror, I stare at my tuxedo and can't help to imagine Robin all over it. Shaking my head out the daydream, I get beautiful Swiss made truffles. All girls love truffles. Buying my items and walking out the store I rush to the train station as I was almost late for my arriving train. Hopping aboard, and sit down as the train wasn't crowded at all. Looking at my watch I have thirty minutes to make it there on time. The train ride was faster than I expected. As the train slowly eased, its speed I quickly hopped up. As the doors flew opened I sprinted out and rushed on to my ladies home. Walking happily to her home and freshened up; fixed my collar, slicked my hair, and smiled bright. I knocked and popped out a beautiful deep rouse colored dress and a pretty white smile. She was lovely and all. Bowing sneaking a kiss on her cheek while I gave her flowers and candy, she blushed deeper then her dress color. It was cute. "Let me show you the night of your life gorgeous", I said in a sweet whisper. "okay let's go", as she layed the flowers and candy on her table, stepping outside locking the door. In one motion I grabbed her hand and pranced to and through the subway unto the other side.

Wide eyed and mouth dropped, I saw big lights and pretty signs and music the made your ears fall in love and move away. "Come on and stop gazing, your going to hurt your eyes you stare long enough", Robin teased. We strolled do a side path widow shopping, I glace at a melancholy looking building with the open sign proudly showing. I tugged her and questioned, "What shop is that?". Robin gasped and waltzed her way in front of the shopped stunned. "Uh, Robin?',  I said as she dragged me with her. I sled my wrist out the pregnancy grip she had and pushed the door open going into the shop. It was dusty, grey, and had a antique atmosphere. Robin slowly crawled into the shop after me, getting side tracked by old shelves with name card and the old cash register bell. Ding. Ding. Is all I heard, blowing off some dust I found an old rag doll with loose button and stuffing half out. I liked it, I slipped it my inner coat pocket so it would be safe. Stepping from the shelf, the floor from under me shattered leaving me in a split. Man did my balls hurt! "Oh heavens! Michael", Robin grabbed my waist pulling me away from the missing floor. "Are you okay?", she frantically shouted, "Of course, of course lovely don't break into a cold sweat for me", i replied humorously. "On to dinner Ms.K?", I asked with a bow. "Okay, sure", she replied holding her hand out as I took it. Walking out of the shop, we looked like beginning lovers, I felt fantastic! Strolling the side path we find an old Spanish restaurant named, Spain's Antiques. Walking into the place into the place it was filled with bold reds, oranges, and sparkles. In the background I heard the song Kiss Of Fire playing, I started swaying and humming with it waiting to be seated. After the waiter seated us at a two person table we looked at the menu: Spain's Antiques' Specials; Classic Tapa, Cordero Asado, and Cochinillo Asado. "Hmmmmm, looking at the whole menu everything sounds great. What are you having baby girl?", hahaha I love calling her different pet names. It's fun and it keeps me sane with her. I put in our orders and look out the window at the gentle fall of pure perfection. It looked cold, yet beautiful outside. I turned to Robin and she looked tired, ":"oh waiter make that to go please". "Yes sir", he replied and went and brought back cartons of food. Putting the food in a bag and tapping Robin telling her to wake up and let's go we started walking and saw a drive in. "Let's go there", Robin's sleepy meek voice requested. "Sure", I lifted up the gate for her to go in and I followed sitting on the snow and cuddling her to keep her warm. Within forty minutes of the movie and holding the angel, she fell asleep . She's so cute sleeping, she looked like she was five years old. Lifting her up bridal style and carrying her out with the food I hailed a taxi and went back to my place. Opening the door to a clean house I carried her upstairs, taking off her coat and shoes, putting her in my bed, covering her, and kissing her good night. I went downstairs putting the food away and laying on the coach looking at the doll a picked up at the abandoned toy store. It looked like a stuffed rag with black buttons for eyes, red yawn for a mouth, old cloth for clothes and orange yarn for hair. It was smiling, me being a dumb ass I checked if it was a boy or girl. Of coarse it was a girl, it's a doll for Christ sake. After checking I turned it around and a button eye was missing, I blinked hard and it reappeared firmly attached. I shit you not it was off, whatever! No dolls going to freak me out tonight I put it down under the coach and lied back falling asleep.
