Luke

I am excited for the date. I got dressed and was walking out the door to get her. But, my ex, April,  came by.

I couldn't resist her. Her milky white skin was now tanned. Let's not forget that we kinda have a history.

Of course stuff happened.  Well you know.  I completely forgot about the date.

I woke up early. I suddenly remembered that I was supposed to go out with Shana. 

Crap.

Just my luck. What am I supposed to tell? Gee Shana sorry for standing you up. I was too busy effing my ex.

No worries.  Ah no.

I hope I didn't make her cry. I feel so bad but I can only imagine how she feels.

I should go apologize.  I drove my car to the floral shop. I picked up a single white rose.  I hope she likes it.

I drove to her apartment.  I debated for a long time should I go.  After arguing with myself,  I finally mustered up the courage to go.

I got out the car and walked up to the door and knocked. I saw her look through the peep hole.

The door opened slightly.  It was held closed by a sliding lock and an angry Shana.

"What do you want? " she said through gritted teeth.

"I want to uh uh uh s-say I'm sorry. I hope you aren't mad." I said.

"It's ok Luke.  I love being left behind.  No biggy. I am not mad I'm freaking pissed. I waited 4 freaking hours. You were a no show.  You didn't call, text, anything.  You stood me up and you want me to not be mad? You know what? You're pathetic. " She barked and slammed the door in my face.

The door opened again only for her to take the flower and trash it....in my face.  Then, she slammed the door.

Shana

How dare he show up with that lame excuse. Then this pooh face has the audacity to say 'I hope you're not mad'....THE HECK?!?! Of course I am mad. He stood me up.  What did he think? I was going to be all smiley faces and rainbows.  No boo boo.

This is not the movies.
