I was lucky to find Daisy. She might not of been there if I'd gone an hour later, or earlier. Maybe that was a sign? Or maybe it meant nothing because she still hadn't text, and it had been over an hour.
I know I gave her the option when she was ready, but I was so desperate for a response.I'd been sitting on my king sized bed staring up at the ceiling, and imagining those lush lips, and beautiful curves I could devour. I'd never been so intrigued by a woman, and it made it worse knowing I couldn't have her.
My phone vibrating in my back pocket shot my body to standing position. I didn't want to look. What if it was her? What if she said no? What if she said yes? What if it's not her?
I shut my eyes, let out a much needed deep breath, and then looked.
Mom
As much as I love my dear mother, I'm still disappointed it isn't Daisy.
Now she was calling. Jesus.
"Hey mom, are you okay?" I put on my best happy voice so she knew I wanted to talk.
"Hello my dear, I was just calling because we have that dinner next month and you can bring a plus one."
Shit I forgot about that.
The dinner was more like a ball. It was for dad and moms anniversary, but they were hiring out a huge place for it. I don't see the point, their house would of been perfect enough, but they insisted on something big.
Now I've got to bring someone. I can't not now she's gave me the option.
"Of course mother thank you for letting me know"
The only woman I could think of was Daisy. There would be no other woman ideal.
My heart sank when I realised that was a long shot. I had no chance unless she agreed to this date, and that was looking unexpected.
"You don't sound yourself Nathanial what's wrong?"
God I hated my full name.
"Nothing mom I'm just tired, I think I need an early night"
I tried to sound normal, like I was telling the truth, but mom knows me.
"I don't want to push, I know you hate talking about things, but I'm here if you need me darling"
I felt like I was betraying her. She deserved the truth from me, and I couldn't even give her that. If I did she would only give me false hope.
"Thanks mom, I'm gonna go make some tea and go bed"
That wasn't a lie. The way I was feeling, I needed a long shower and to drop into bed.
"Okay I'll see you at the dinner"
