Isabelle's pov

Bo suggested I go on a date. Like an actual date with one of her friends. She says he has had a crush on me for a while. She refused to mention his name, she said it'll be a blind date, but in this case I know the person. So we agreed for the date to be setup on Friday.
I don't know if this is the right thing to do. According to Bo, after this 'date' I'll be able to make up my mind about Ray.
Ray, I wonder what they're doing now. Maybe I should just.... Arghhh! What if they're having fun and I ruinit by calling? I'll wait till evening then call to speak with Adeya. For now I have a client waiting for me in one of the conference rooms.

**a few hours later**
I'm not used to meeting an empty house. I guess I've waited long enough.
**phone rings**
R:"hello Isabelle"
I:"hey Ray. Good evening, can I speak with Adeya?"
R:"she's asleep."
I glance at the clock. Shit! How didn't I notice it's way past her bedtime.
I:"oh yeah of course. Sorry, I was held back in the office I lost track of time. I'll call back in the morning."
R:"can we talk a little?"
Well it's not a bad idea.
I:"sure. How're you?"
R:"I'm good. Thank you for letting me spend sometime with Adey, it means a lot to me."
I:"its fine. She needs her dad too."
A comfortable silence settles in for a minute.
R:"I was thinking, maybe we can all go out, Friday evening maybe?"
I:"i won't be available Friday."
R:"oh. Work?"
Tell him? Tell him not? Who cares,I'm a big girl I can do what I want. I don't need his approval.
I:"No. I'm going out on a date"
It gets silent again.
R:"oh, erm have fun then"
I:"yeah I will. Goodnight"
R:"goodnight"
I feel awful. Shit! Maybe I shouldn't have told him. Now I feel really really bad.
Am I supposed to?! This is so frustrating.
I wonder who the person Bo set me up is. She mentioned he's someone I know, but I know a lot of Bo's friends!
I think I need a distraction, I'm beginning to overthink! I don't need stress right now. I'm going to binge watch some of my favourite shows. I need popcorn! Let me make some.
Do I need some wine? I think I do. Adeya isn't home, so I can drink a little. Popcorn, check. Wine, check. Remote, check. Now its time to relax and not stress about anything.
Tomorrow morning I'll stop by the spa, it's been a while. Last time I went to the spa, was with Adey, we were bored one weekend and I took her with me. We had a great time, fun times.
Soon my baby will be all grown up! Then she won't need me anymore. Omg isa, happy thoughts! Happy thoughts! I can't cry now. I'm trying to destress. Show time.
