His Perfect Secret

The Blind Date.

I woke up feeling tired from dinner last night and didn’t wanna do anything. I just wanted to lay on my bed.

My phone rang, interrupting my thoughts. Who could that be?!

“Hey Adony, What’s up?” I asked

“Hola mi prima! I’m very good. I thought about something this morning. So, I wanted to tell ya.”

(Hello, my cousin!).

She sounds quite enthusiastic this morning. Oh, I wonder what she wants to tell me.

“Sure, I’m all ears.” I replied.

She began, “You know, it’s still Valentine’s kinda and you do not have a date. I do not think you are seeing someone. Wait, are you?” she asked.

So that’s what this is about… my love life.

“No, I’m not seeing anyone and stop being nosy, ok?”

Why is she acting like an overbearing mother?

She continued, “I didn’t call to ask ‘cause I know you’re still single. I called to inform you about your blind date today by 8 tonight in Cenare restaurant.”

This little…

I scoffed, “Are you telling me what to do? Adony I’m not going, period.” I stated.

She turned deaf ears then said, “I ain’t gonna repeat myself, just be there prompt. Love ya.” She didn’t even wait to hear my response, she hung up.

It took me a while to properly process my phone call with Adony. I couldn’t believe it, how could that little rat do that to me?

Ugh! There’s nothing I can do about this, if I don’t go, she'd nag about it. I’ll just have to go.

I picked out a pair of black leggings, a white long sleeve high-low top and a pair of Nike sneakers. I wanted to look casual, so I didn’t go for a dress.

I put on a little makeup just for appearance sake. I looked at the mirror and I was satisfied with what I saw. I sent a pic of my outfit to Adony so my supposed date would be able to recognize me.
I took my keys, got into my car not wanting to be late.

The restaurant was the one I had dinner with Lorenzo and the hot dude.

Why am I thinking about that now? I’m meant to be on a date not thinking about that hot dude.

I took a deep breath and wished myself luck as I entered the restaurant. I saw my date, or rather he found me and took me to our table.

I learnt that his name is James Buccets.

What a weird name, but hey, who am I to judge?

The waitress came to take our orders. I ordered Spaghetti and meatballs, so did he. I didn’t expect this to go well so far but it is surprisingly.

Adony, I love you wherever you are!

James didn’t say or do anything to show off, unlike the last guy I tried dating, he was just himself.

“I’m guessing you had fun, right?” he asked.

I nodded, “Sure I did.” I replied.

He walked me to my car. “We should do this some other time but as a real date.” He said.

Hmm, oh my! He’s officially asking me out, pretty fast, I need to act cool.

“Sure.” I gave him a short reply then we parted ways.

I got home feeling happy. I called Adony telling her everything that happened without leaving a single detail.

She was happy for me. She threatened to slit my throat and bury me in a faraway land where my body will never be found if I didn’t make this work this time.

I ignored her and promised to go with the flow not to force out any emotion before hanging up.

I brushed my teeth after having a warm bath and headed to bed.

I remembered meeting the hot stranger today, was it a coincidence or was he stalking me?

He said it was his restaurant. Hmm, I don’t think I believe him, at least I finally know his name. I kept thinking till I drifted off to sleep.
