Chapter 22: Second Date

"Hey Sqaishey?" I hear a voice saying. It could be in my dreams; it seems so far away.

But as my eyes open, the voice gets louder and clearer.

"Sqaishey? Are you awake?"

"Well, I sleep with my eyes open do I?" I say sarcastically.

He smiles and pulls me in for a kiss.

"I was thinking... That we could go on a second date? At this new bar that opened up in town?"

"Oh yeah." I say, starting to make myself some breakfast. "I just won't have any drinks. I don't want my child drinking alcohol before it's born!"

Stampy laughs and we continue making our breakfast.

*Time Skip*

It's been a while since I've dressed up. And I can't remember how hard it was to pick a dress last time.

I decide on a knee-long yellow dress and put on some lip gloss, nothing too fancy.

I put on some nice shoes, but I don't like heels because they're hard to walk in. So I choose some black flats.

I walk into the kitchen and Stampy is wearing a tie, which is very unusual for him.

He guides me to the car like a gentleman, holds open the door and says mockingly;

"Ladies first!" He waits for me to get in and then sits in the drivers seat.

We then head off to the bar.

*Another Time Skip*

We arrive at the bar, head inside, order some things and sit at our table.

I ordered a Caesar salad, and then to treat myself I ordered a signature Mars bar cheesecake.

Stampy orders a burger and chips and for dessert ordered a chocolate pudding.

Waiting for our orders, we hear an announcement:

"It's Tuesday, which means it's karaoke night which means we choose one lucky couple to come up and sing karaoke."

I panic. It can't be me. I can't sing in front of all these people!

"And we've put all tonight's order numbers into a hat! If you have more than two in your group, choose two to be the performers of a very excited crowd!"

A screen at the back of a small stage over in the corner of the room turns on to reveal a number.

Order 245

There's a mad rush; everyone is checking their receipts and sighing with relief.

I check ours and immediately freeze.

It has 245 on it.

We just sit there until someone pulls us up on stage.

"What's your names?" A man with a microphone says, entering the stage.

"Beth." I say.

"Joseph." Stampy says quietly.

"Ok, Beth and Joseph, would you call yourself good singers?" The man asks.

"No." We both say.

"Ok, then, let's find out.

*Time Skip*

Everyone claps and we return, embarrassed, to our seats.

"That was very awkward." I say, as a waiter gives us our food.

"Yeah." Stampy says.

But he seemed to be very distant. I guess he's just embarrassed.

But the last time I guessed what he was feeling, I got it completely wrong.

I have no idea why I wrote this chapter. But I felt like I needed a break from the baby stuff.
