A Kiss of Goodbye

06: Letting Loose

I realized I have been missing a lot in life. I needed new experiences aside from work. I want to color my personal life with romance; so I got into an online dating site. Thank goodness that it's easier now to find a potential match with the help of internet.

-(Ding....), you found a match.... -(Ding...), -(Ding...), -(Ding...), -"Dang, that's fast. 4 matches in 2 mins?" I swiped through their profiles. "20 yrs old, hmm too young for my liking." Swipe, swipe, swipe... Fourth match caught my attention. He's under the name of (Lee C. II) He was painting something so he's back is more evident and only a side view of his face is shown. Strong jaw and pointed nose, thick lashes and brows. -"Argggh, why do men always have the lashes and the brows most women want to have? Not really fair!" I complained.

      -(Ding3x)... "Honey it's us." I can hear mom's excited voice. -"Mom, dad! Come on in." "Ahhhh our favorite daughter, we missed you so much!" Pops said. Rolled my eyes at them and they both laughed. As if they have another daughter. -"I'm the favorite because you two got no other choice." Tried to make some humor. Mom almost died when she conceived me, that scared the hell outta my pops so they both agreed to have no more kids after me. Being the only child sucks, you have no one to play with or annoy. I had a best friend though. We met at summer camp when we were 14 and go to the same high school together.

          Mom and dad didn't stay for the rest of the night at my apartment and head home after 2 hours. They needed to go to the doctor for their annual check up tomorrow. So I'm all alone again. -"It's a beautiful night and I'm looking for something dumb to do." And I am all up for it. Prepped myself and went out for some fresh air.

            The cab pulled in front of the "Urban" a popular bar downtown. I've only been here once. So, the air wouldn't be that fresh, I guess.

            Ok, I'm literally heaving and gasping for air. That was 4 shots of tequila and mind you I'm not a drinker, only on very special occasions. The bartender gave me an unknowing look. -"I'm not brokenhearted or something you know." I told him. -"This is just something I want to do tonight." "Hey, I see..." I turned to face the source of the voice. He stepped back a little with wide eyes. "Well, well, well!! What a complete surprise." He smirked. He motioned towards me and is about to give me a hug. -"Stay! I don't need it." I said in a slightly raised tone; left the counter some cash and tried to walk away. I think that's my queue to go home.

               -"Oooh, Ooopsss." I almost stumbled when something, or someone grabbed my arms and waist. I looked over to see who it is "Greggor, my hero hahhahah!" I said in recognition and my world is spinning around.
