Well every other dates i've gone to has been either after I was in a relationship with the person or with a new stranger i met on socials. This date on the other hand meant something to me. Something i had to make plans for, i didn't want this to be the regular sit in a cafe and talk date. I wanted this to be sit and talk, then head out somewhere and click pictures, grab icecreams, roam around kinda date which was nearly impossible as She apparently has a busy schedule that she changed for a small meet with me. So i had to do my best to stick with the plan without making the date go bad in any way.
The plan was to sit and talk while sipping coffee on the cafe we were supposed to meet and then convince and take her to basantapur, shoot some pictures and roam around. I had no hope that she'd agree to spend the whole day with me but i had to try for she was what i looked for almost 2 years. The movie like date i planned had to work and get me a second date also so the pressure was real.
The day was here & i had to look good in the ugly ass college uniform, be in time, smell nice and not forget my wallet. And this are some of the things i am very bad at. I got ready feeling like a christian bridegroom cause of the black suit white shirt: the best perfume i had, slick hair, white teeth; All i lacked was a rose on my pocket. I was on time too. My mom had a suspicious look in her face while i was leaving as seeing me all dressed up is a rare event, she might have guessed that it was my big day.
I reached on time despite the bad trafiic as always in the streets of kathmandu. I knew the cafe owner as me and the boys always hung out there so having control on the music was a great win. She arrived in a couple a minute of me being there. She was in formals maybe her office uniform and holy god did she not look like a boss. I got so nervous that i didn't process a hug & did a handshake instead.
"you are on time", she said."Did you expect me to be late? ", i asked.
"No i didn't! but sure am fascinated by how you look so well even in the college uniform"
" all the dressing up for sure worked" i was thinking to myself as i smirked on her compliment.
"you look great in formals too" said my happy ass.
Then we both had coffee and suprisingly she smoked too so there i was in a suit smoking with a girl on my first date feeling like a character from peaky blinders, might have even spit out some british accent on accident. We talked about how we came to meet , college and classes and stuffs. I had to somehow trick her to go with me to basantapur so i slowly talked about our hobbies and how i loved photography.
" So you're a photographer? " she asked."no, i just love clicking pictures. Wouldn't call myslef a photographer quite yet." saying that i showed her some of my pictures and the story behind them. She liked them. So i broke the ice thinking it was the perfect time.
"Why don't we shoot some pictures? You look great and i happen to have my camera too"
She hesitated and also had to go on her work in about an hour. So i promised her that i'd drop her to her office and convinced her to go out with me and do a shoot. Little did she know that pictures were just an excuse for me to have some more time to spend with her.
We hopped on my bike and went to basantapur and there we were dressed in formals and in the middle of a square. We clicked some good pictures and roamed around for a bit. We're happy and she had a way of making me crack up on her silly jokes and cute poses. She seemed to forget that she was 20 mins away from her office time. I took her for Ice cream and we roamed around the square like childrens with icecream melting all over our hands and spread all over our faces. I didn't want to break it too her that she would be late but i had too.
"looks like we need to go back now for your office"
"OMG! what time is it i nearly forgot, let's move i can't be late", she panicked as we ran to where my bike was parked. We laughed all the way to her office on the bike thinking what she'd have done if i hadn't reminded her of the time. I thought to myself as i dropped her off just in time about how the date was fun although not as long as i planned."Thank you for today, i haven't had such a fun time in so long. I'll call you when i am free. Bye see ya" She hugged me after she thanked me andd went inside.
I still remember the smell of her hair. I skipped college that day and came home early and looked back at the pictures. They turned out so good maybe because she was in them. I blushed all the way through the pictures remembering every moment i was with her and how the date went perfect and how a girl i liked in high school modelled for me and went on a date with me. Everything that was happening felt unreal, my crush was on my laptop screen smilling at me looking like the cutest boss in the formals. I liked her then and there knowing how pure of a person she was and how happy she made me.
