I think this is the place.. She did say Amelio's, didn't she? Man, this girl has expensive taste. Crap, I should have wore my other shirt if I knew I'd be coming to a place like this. Walking into the restaurant, scanning the faces to find hers. Ah, there she is. Wow, she's more beautiful than I expected. What if I'm less than she hoped for, I can still back out.. Shit. She saw me, as she waves at me I walk towards her with my usual charming smile. I take her hand and kiss it, introducing myself. "Hello, I'm Fra... Just call me Franky."
Sitting down across from her, I admire her cheekbones and her grey eyes and beautiful hair. Geez.. This girl is drop dead gorgeous. I have no idea how Ricky was able to pull this off for me. I got to do something extra for him the next time he brings his car into the shop. Oh, maybe I'll install a new stereo or I'll make his rims shine extra nice. That reminds me, I got to call Quan.. Oh shit. Right, I'm on a date. Ugh, what do I say, what do I say? "So.. You into cars?"
Nice Franky, real nice. You're so original. So, you into cars? That was so stupid. And that's seriously the best you could come up with? Wait.. She actually is into cars! Nice Franky, nice. "Really, you are? I have my own car shop just on the other side of town. Everyday, all types of cars come.." I guess I'll just keep talking about my shop, as I see her eyes wander all over me. She wants me.. But not as bad as I want her.
Who would have thought.. Me, Francesca Minelli, owner of the best car shop in town, would be on a date with a retired marine? She's so breathtaking. I can't keep my eyes off of her. I know I wasn't the only one who felt that spark when our hands touched.. What? What is she saying? "I'm sorry.. Franky. I can't do this. I got to go." And before I could even get up to stop her.. She was gone.
Nice Franky. Way to run her off. No wonder you're still single. Maybe she forgot to walk her goldfish.. Yeah. Let's just say that. Well, I at least hope she calls and explains.. "Check please." Now to go home, lay up with Izzy and watch Netflix. A dog really is a man's best friend. Well in this case.. A stud's bestfriend.
