Help. Our food came a while ago before he left for the restroom. He's been gone for nearly ten minutes! I'm I overreacting??? Maybe he's bloated! Or I'm a terrible date. But it was fine before he left... I think.

"Sooooooo?"

"Sooooooo what?"

"I don't know. Umm when's your birthday?"

He laughed,"We talked about that in the car."

"Sorry, I don't go on many dates." Did I really just say that?!?

He laughed and sliped his hand onto my leg,"I can't imagine why." Blood rushed to my cheeks as I blushed.

"When was the last time you went on a date?"

I blushed embarrassed," Almost two years ago. But my last boyfriend was Dustin."

All of a sudden I felt angry,"I hate him."

"Why? Did he do something to you?"

I sighed,"I don't really want to talk about it. He really screwed up, that's all I can really say right now."

He nodded,"Well I will be right back."

He moved his hand from my leg and stood up,"Where are you going?" I asked suddenly.

"Bathroom."

"O-oh okay."

What were you thinking Clarissa?! Why would you say you hate his brother! ArGh I knew you were stupid but this?

Wait. Am I yelling at myself im the third person?

I sighed and held my head in my hands,"Hey, sorry about that."

I looked up and saw him sitting back down,"How long has the food been here?"

I hummed,"About thirteen minutes."

His eyebrows raised,"Sorry about that."

"What were you doing?"

He laughed,"You mean.. What was I doing in the bathroom?"

She sighed,"Never mind." I said picking up my fork and taking a bite.

"Why haven't you eaten any of your food yet?" He asked.

"Because" I drew out,"I was waiting for you. Its rude to eat first when you're eating with someone and they aren't there."

He nodded,"Respect. I was gone for awhile."

I nodded,"I was this close to just eating. And thinking back I shoulda because now my beans are cold."

He laughed as I took another bite,"Sorry he wouldn't let me go." My eyes grew and saw that he immediately noticed his mistake.

I swallowed my unchewed bite of food," He wouldn't let you go?"

He facepalmed and rubbed his temples,"Gosh I said that didn't I?"

I nodded and he groaned,"Okay I'm sorry I wasn't using the bathroom I was.. taking a phone call."

I dramatically put my head in my hands,"Am I really that bad? You had to escape and talk about the situation over the phone?!" ArGh stupid!

He shook his head,"Why are you blaming yourself? A normal girl would get mad at me."

"A normal girl?"

He groaned agin,"Not normal I meant... I meant other. Other girls would've gotton mad at me."

I sighed,"If you don't mind me asking who were you on the phone with?"

He looked down," If I tell you my middle name will you be satisfied?"

I let out a exasperated gasp,"Woah it was that bad? You have to tell me your last name? Oh my go-"

"It's bad. Okay?"

"As bad as my last name?"

He thought,"Maybe."

"Okay what is it?" I caved.

He sighed and leaned over the table and whispered. I couldn't hear him,"Huh?"

He grunted and whispered a little louder but was still inaudible. I got frustrated,"I can't hear you!"

"Gilbert!" He yelled back.

Simultaneously we clamped our hands to our mouths and the restaurant grew quiet.
