It's A Date...Not Set By Fate.

Gina POV

Netflix and chill, with a dash of food to splurge on and sleep, thats what I thought of doing this weekend. It's just like ANY other weekend.

But Bobbi bashed it with her "blind date" suggestion. Now I didn't want to go out with some random dude and pretend to enjoy an awkward dinner alone together.

What if he's secretly a mobster? Or...Or worse, he just wants to have fun for a night alone? What if, the very thought makes me shudder, he will stalk and haunt me for the rest of my life?!

Bobbie says I'm just over thinking and that it won't be like that. Besides she knows the guy, co-workers or understudy, I was too surprised to actually pay attention.

Me? On a date? Yeah right.

But she told me to at least chat. So on Saturday I did that.

Technically he began with a casual, "Pls tell me this is a real no."

Sure is.

God help me if this is legit

Same

Well then. Here goes: Hey girl, are you a German?

...not sure where this is gng, but I'm not.

Cuz your making me wanna be Ger-man!

That, that was hilarious ok. It was a terrible line but Damn.

That's just terrible. And this is our first chat.

Better way for practise don't you think?

Lol no.

Come on! I have 4% battery remaining n chose you!

You did not choose wisely.

Did I choose wisely?

Dammit! You got it before me.

Before I knew it, I'm laughing and chatting. I even forgot that I had yet to meet him. Marcus.

We both openly expressed our doubts and it eased me up a bit.

On a scale of 1 to America, how free are you tonight?

It was Sunday morning and I had just sipped my coffee. I tried not to spit it out. Did not want to stain my carpet any further.

America? Seriously? Considering the current situation...I feel the rating is reversed.

Is that a yes or no? Cuz I'm not sure.

It's a maybe. Tell me the time and place 1st

Le Pattiserie on 3rd street? 6?

Oooh fancy. Give me 5 n I'll get back.

Chkin with Bobbi eh?

I shook my head. He's been pretty chill and fun about this, wondering if it's me or Bobbi reading it.

Bobbi would die of excitement if I mentioned about this. So should I?

I decided to ask her. And of course she comes over screaming my head off for not telling him yes sooner.

Jeez. Luckily I had some clean clothes out. I took out my favourite jeans and boots.

Bobbi looked pissed that I refused makeup but come on. Just lip gloss is fine. Don't want him to think I'm some bimbo and besides it's just a date.

Why should I simply torture myself with all that?

"At least wear that cute top you got last month!" She pleaded. I conceded.

And then it was time. I know Bobbi. She would have somehow sneaked her way in the restaurant. So I texted Marcus.

Got a spy in restaurant.

Bobbi? V ditch her

How

Give her a juicy date prelude and bail

What about dinner?

Takeout?

Order from there n put it on her. I'll spot her.

God I love this

Me too

See how well we work together?

We'll see when we do meet each other. I still have my doubts.

And I still don't think this is legit

And so I enter. And somehow, things do work as planned.

Guess this wasn't as lame as I had thought it would be.
