Love Ain't My Game [[✔️✔️COMPLETED✔️✔️]]

CHAPTER 13

I've been holding my laughter for about 20 minutes now. I still can't believe this guy paid for Liz's drink. Who sits before me is a tall dark guy with dreadlocks, bunny teeth and eyebrows as thick as two fingers. He has thick beard and dark huge lips that are chapped and become whitish.

I can never imagine going on a date with such a funny looking person, even though he may have his own reasons to look so "different". I wonder how he feels about my hideous appearance even though it doesn't really matter to me.

We've just introduced and have been sitting there all silent after ordering smoothies. His name is Kurt. And he told me that he's the CEO of some company. Like I'd believe. Even though there's no reason for him to lie to me.

I lied to him that I'm a receptionist so he doesn't get more interested in me.

"So where do you live", he breaks the silence.

"Um.. nearby. What about you?" , I don't want to share my location with a mysterious guy.

"Oh! I travel a lot so I usually stay in hotels. I'm here for a week after this, I'll leave for Maldives", he says like I'd believe such an obvious lie.

The date went very awkward. We didn't really talk and he looked at me with sympathy. But I expected that. He even asked if there was something he could do for me. Ha- ha. Dude doesn't know I'm fine by myself and am earning well enough.

He paid through a credit card. He wouldn't let a "poor lady" pay even though I insisted on paying half the check. After we were done, it was almost 10 pm. I spent most of the time on the free internet.

When it was time to leave; "Oh, and this is my card- call me anytime if you're free. I'm looking forward to another meet", he says and winks at me.

I glance at his card and see the name Kurt Rob, CEO of The Revolution Factory. I couldn't believe it. It was one of the leading Companies. I knew I shouldn't have judged him by his looks but this is way further than what I expected. I was in awe.

This must be a dream: no it can't be happening. This is so not real.

"Hey, are you okay? ", he asks me.

"Yeah, sorry. Why didn't you tell me about the Revolution Factory? I love your work.", I declare my adoration.

"Well, I didn't consider it to be an important matter" , he says casually like it's nothing.

"We could've talked about it rather than just stare at each other like that for almost 2 hours ", I complain.

He completely ignores what I say and asks "Do you want me to drop you home?"

"Sure", I reply instantly without hesitation. Suddenly I lost all my self-respect and ego.

He starts his Range Rover and I direct him towards my home. It's the first time I've gotten in such a lavish car. I regret faking my appearance. I bet he just feels bad for a poor woman that I currently look like.

We reach my apartment and just as I get out of his car, he calls out to me, "Be your real self the next time we meet, please", he gives me a weak smile and drives away.

Oh no! He caught me. I look at his business card and blush. The same guy I thought was funny looking suddenly became my hero. The same person I thought I'd never date, became my reason to smile. I wanted to meet him again being myself. I wanted him to see me for who I am. I wanted to talk about my life with him. I felt like I'd known him for ages. But I knew I felt nothing for him. All he had was money and a kind heart, maybe. Well, he would never be so kind to the stupid woman I faked myself to be if he wasn't kind. I could say he's nice at heart just by our little conversation that I thought I didn't care about.

A chill runs through my skin as the cold air hits me. I run upstairs to my apartment and clean up the messy face. I see how beautiful I looked without makeup. I'm not really into makeup but it's a necessity at work. No one trusts a therapist who looks like they just got up from bed. Makeup made me look fresh if nothing else. Besides, I have dark lips so I'm used to lipsticks anyway.

I take a quick shower and go to bed.

You betrayed me Betsy. Kevin says. In my dream.

And I wake up startled.
