Married To The Wrong Man

Telephone

I got home and decided to clean the kitchen. I was making lunch when I heard a familiar voice on the radio It was Darren's voice. I sung along having a grand ole time. I was applying bacon and mayo to my grilled cheese when my phone rung. I cleaned my hands off and picked up my phone.
"Hello?"
"Mina? Is that you?"

I giggled silently and decided to have a little fun

"Mina? Who's that? I think you have the wrong number"
.........
"Mina? Who's that? I think you have the wrong number"
I felt so stupid
"I'm sorry to bother you but are you sure?"
"Yea sorry man"
I started to play with the tip of my nose out of embarrassment
"Oh..okay it's just that she gave me this number..sorry to bother you"
I was about to hang up when I heard
"Darren I'm joking this is Mina"
.........
He sounded so sad and it made me a little sad and feel guilty
"Darren I'm joking this is Mina"
"You sure?" He said sounding like he wasn't really buying it
"Yes, I promise it's me"

We ended talking about his trip to the mall and why we were both there.

"I just wanted some new clothes haha I don't know how I ended up in Victoria secret but hey I got some nice stuff" I said with my mouth full making him laugh
"I saw the bra you were buying it's a nice color for you it goes with your skin tone"
"Awe really? You think that?"
"Of course" I felt so guilty for not believing him
"Thank you..."
"Mina when? Can I take you out?"
A smile that hasn't been there for a while spread across my face
"When I can go out with you and not be crowded" I giggled
"So Friday night?"
I then laughed
"Why do you wanna take me out so bad? You barely know me"
"Well I'm gonna get to know you, what's your address?"
I told him my address and heard him click a pen
"Okay well I will be picking you up from your home on Friday at 7:30?"
"8:00 you gotta give a girl time to get ready" 
I don't think I've ever had such a interesting phone call. We ended up talking for 3 hours. He had to leave so I took my time to take a shower and get dinner ready. My father came home and we talked about my trip to the mall.

"So you're telling me you talked to THE Michael Jackson"
"Why would I ever lie to you papa?"
He just smiled and shrugged
"I'm just shocked your mother is gonna lose her mind"
"Why?" I asked with a confused look on my face
"She loves Michael you know that"
"He's just a person haha"
My parents and I sat down and enjoyed our dinner together.

"So...you gonna go on the date?"
"I feel so guilty..." I said messing with my meatball
"And why is that?"
"I JUST left Robert...maybe I just shouldn't g-"
My father cut me off
"No! You're going! Stop worrying about Robert you have us and now Michael maybe this is happening for a reason"
I looked down getting teary eyed "I guess"
"What your father is trying to say is don't let Robert hold you back from a great opportunity...plus you can take things really slow with Michael I'm sure he wouldn't mind at all"

My mom was helping me clean up after dinner when she grabbed my hand.

"Mina please go on the date...please"
"Mama please"
"No Mina you need a good guy to show you some appreciation just please"
"Okay....."

It was around 11:30pm when I was watching tv and realized.

It's fucking Thursday
