The question that changed my life

chapter four.

So what did he say? I asked Lizzy.

Well promise me you won't get mad? Lizzy asked.

Lizzy tell me already, am so furious right now, what did he say, I angrily answered.

Well when I called him, he sounded drunk and he sounded so depressed, he forgot that he had a date with you, am so sorry, Lizzy said in a sad vioce.

That guy, he's such... Ugh I don't even know what to call him, I angrily said.

He's a piece of shit, Lizzy answered.

Yah he's a piece of shit and a jerk, I said.

James Norman is a jerk, while Cody is a piece of shit, Lizzy corrected.

I giggled at what Lizzy said.

Your so right, I have to go, I want this night to be over, I said.

Alright, drive safe and take good care of yourself, Lizzy said.

I will. We both disconnected the call, I stood up and left the restaurant angry.

I arrived at my apartment, I quickly took off my shoes and my gown,  I was left in my underwear, I quickly jumped on  my bed and slept off, I didn't even bother to wash my face, I was so exhausted.

I woke up by the sound of my Door bell, I groaned and stood up from bed, I put on a shirt that was laying around and headed down stairs then I unlocked my door,  it was my three best friends as usual, they are the only visitors I always have.

Hey girl, Claire cheerfully said.

Why do you still have make up on your face, Lizzy asked.

I forgot to wash my face yesterday, I was so exhausted from waiting for that piece of shit, as Lizzy calls him. I replied.

We all sat down.

Lizzy told us what happened yesterday, that was so not cool, Rina said.

I knew that date won't go well, but no one listened to me, Claire said.

Claire there's no need for that talk, what's done is done, I didn't know it will turn out like this,  Lizzy said.

Guess what, am tired of you guys bringing dumb ass guys for Me, I've decided to do it my way, I said.

What way? Rina asked.

I'll register in an online dating app, they are many people who have found their true love through online dating, mine is not going to be different, I replied.

Are you sure about it, Claire asked.

Yes I am, what's the harm in trying, I replied.

If that's what you want, we're not going to object, Rina replied.

Why don't you register already, post your best pictures, you need to look stunning, Lizzy cheerfully.

I quickly picked up my laptop and registered, I posted a few of my prettiest pictures, and then I started adding some really cute guys, I had a lot of requests too, of course my friends were picking some really hot guys for me too.

I started receiving lots of messages. I chatted with a lot of guys, this one guy named Phillip asked me on a date that evening, my friends where cheerful and so happy, they liked the guy instantly.

Phillip was a really tall guy, with black hair and brown eyes, he was really cute, I couldn't stop staring at his picture happily.

Stop staring at his picture,  you need to get ready, you look like a mess and I think you have a pimple right in the middle of your brows, Claire said.

What?a pimple, no way, I can't have a pimple today, I worriedly said while grabbing a mirror and looking at my face.

You shouldn't have slept with your make up, Rina said.

I know, I was just so angry and exhausted to wash my make up off. What do I do now, I said.

It's not that bad just try to conceal it,  am sure your concealer will do the job, Lizzy said.

Alright, girls come help me prepare, I suggested.

We searched for a clothe, I took a really long shower, I washed my hair, then wore my blue fitted gown, then I straighten my hair and did my makeup, I could barely see the pimple, all these was with the help of my friends, I wore my black heels and we went out, we said our goodbyes and I left for my date.

I reached the restaurant, Philip was already waiting for me, I smiled to myself and went to him, reaching there I saw that Philip was sitting in a wheelchair , I was stunned but I decided to ignore it, I assumed he just had an accident recently.
I walked to our table and smiled at Philip.

Hi, I said while sitting.

Hello gorgeous, you look really pretty in person, he said smiling.

Thank you. I smiled back at him.

A waiter came and took our order, Philip and I started chatting and getting to know each other, so I took the initiative to ask him why he was on a wheelchair, but I decided not go say it so straight forward so I won't sound mean.

Philip you are really tall in your pictures, I guess you use to play basketball,  that's one of the things I admire about you, I said.

Then I thought to myself, how silly I was to say it in such manner.

Phillip just laughed at what i said then spoke.

Silly, I don't play basketball, how can he, when he's crippled, I've never played basketball before, he casually said.

What? Then how did you appear so tall in your pictures? I asked.

Well you see, a friend of mine takes pictures of me and edit it, that's why I look so tall in my pictures, he replied.

I was so shocked to even reply, suddenly I was angry that he didn't inform me about it.

Why didn't you tell me that you are crippled,  you deceived me, I asked trying to cover my anger.

If I had told you, you wouldn't have come, so I decided to keep it from you, I thought that maybe you would like me when you see the real Me, he replied.

Am not angry at you being like this, am angry that you didn't tell me, you deceived me. Am sorry but I have to go, I have something important to do, maybe this date can hold next time, I said before leaving the table despite how he tried to stop me.

He was such a deceitful person, I thought to myself.
