I took a sick day to go on this date with Bruno. I was taking a big risk, but from the attack from a couple of days ago, but I needed to rest my mind and set free for a day.
I didn't tell Faith or Charlie about my secret date with Bruno. They look at him as this celebrity, and me, still not knowing who he is to the world, I see him as a man, like anyone else. He's kind, he's caring, he's most definitely funny. He mostly fits my category of a friend.
I decided to let loose. I did my makeup on my own and I wore one of my favorite outfits, outside of my work attire. I even let my natural curls out for once. I always hated them, but I think it's time to embrace it.

I walked inside the little store that led to the golf course. He wasn't even here yet. I tried not to become overwhelmed, but I was slowly coming to that point.
"Hey." I turned around and it was Bruno. I stood up and said, "Hey." Bruno was looking at me, and I couldn't tell if it was a good or bad thing. "Must I say, I love your hair like that." He complimented. "Thank you." "Well, let's get this game started." Bruno said.
We went out to the first hole and it looked easy. I have no idea how to be positioned and how to make this game easy for me. "Ladies first." Bruno insisted. I set the ball onto the ground and tried to act like a professional at this. I tapped the ball, and it went pretty far. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good.
"Have you ever been mini golfing before?" Bruno asked me. "No. I've always wanted to do I as a kid, but I just never got time to do it." I explained. "Well, I'm like the king of mini golf." He laughed.
We headed to the second hole and it was already looking quite complicated. I went first, and it was a true embarrassment. I couldn't get the ball into the hole, and I just wanted to go home now.
Bruno was right, he was the king of mini golf, because he had no complications. "I'll tell you a little secret about the game. It's all about posture." Bruno said. "Bend your knees." I did that. "Lock your elbows." I followed. "Now hit." I hit the ball, but it still didn't work. "I'm just not good at this." I said frustrated.
"You have to be delicate with it." Bruno said. Bruno came behind me, and wrapped his arms around me helping putt the ball.
His chin was rested on my shoulder, and hear and feel every breath he took. "Tap it softly." He practically whispered in my ear. This was your ideal, romantic moment of the date. "Like this." With his hands and mine touching the putter, and we softly tapped the ball, and it went straight into the hole.
He released himself from behind me, and I kind of wanted him to stay there. "Come on, let's go to the next hole." ____________________________________
After playing mini golf for about a good hour, Bruno and I went out to lunch at this restaurant down the street. I have to say, this was probably the deepest conversation I've ever had with a man, other than Charlie.
"The people you work with." Bruno said. "What are they like? Are they stuck up? Or are they like down to earth?" He asked. "You have your groups. Some are sweet, others are sour, and some just shouldn't even be there." I giggled.
"I bet most of the guys have at least asked you out on a date huh?" He asked. "Yeah. They have." I said. "I guess I just jumped in line then." This felt so awkward, but I willing to go further in this conversation.
"They all think I'm in this secret relationship, when in actuality, I'm just living my life alone." I said. "Well, I'm sure the men who've lost you, are angry with themselves. They sure lost a work of art, like yourself." He said. "I couldn't have lost a man, if I've never been with one." I sipped on my drink.
"You've never been in a relationship before?" Bruno seemed shocked. "I'm sorry, but how old are you?" He asked. "I'm only 28. Is that a bad thing?"
"No! It's not a bad thing at all. I'm 28 too, but I just would've thought that some man would've swept you off of your feet." He explained. "The men I've come across, have been too weak to do that. They're intimidated by me."
"I'm not. Never will I be intimidated by a confident woman like you." The smiles were just coming to light. "You always have the right things to say." I said to him. "Sometimes, a woman needs hear the right things. Not because it's what she wants, but what she deserves."
I rested my chin on the palm of my hand. "How do you not have a girlfriend?" "I did at some point, but sometimes you just fall out of love with people." "See, my job is my love. If someone truly made me love them more than my job, something must be special about them." Bruno smiled and put his head down I'm his hand, stirring his drink.
"I have a question about the murder case." Bruno asked me. "It's classified information, I can't say anything." I immediately said. "I just wanted to know, will I have to go to court, and sit on the stand?" I took a deep breath. "It's a possibility." Everything you tell me, you just have to say it on the stand. But the case is still fresh under investigation, so don't worry about it anytime soon." I answered.
"Can we get a little more personal with each other?" Bruno leaned in. "Nothing couldn't get anymore personal than this." I said to him. "Tell me one thing, that you've done or has happened to you, that you've never told anyone." He said. "You first." I wanted to know how wild he was.
"Well, most people know, but it's not something I tell a woman at lunch, but four years ago I was arrested for Cocaine possession. I'm clean now, but that regret is still there." Bruno explained. "Now you." Bruno said.
I was nervous to tell him, because he'd be the first one to know. "When I was 14, I was raped." I blatantly stated. Bruno had this look of regret on his face. "I'm sorry. I'm such an asshole, I shouldn't have asked you..." "It's fine. I'm 14 years older and I'm still here." Bruno was completely beating himself up about it. "....and you never told anyone?" Bruno asked. "Nope. I was too scared. It's kinda late to tell now. But it's more important to me, that I didn't let that affect my future. It changed my path, but it was a good change."
I don't why, but I felt some sort of comfort explaining this to Bruno. We've known each other for less than a month, but I felt that he wouldn't judge me.
