You were on the verge of a panic attack when you hear someone's voice.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" the voice says. You had your eyes closed, but you knew for sure that the voice did not belong to Sarina, or any other female for that matter.
"Richard!" Felicia exclaims. "What are you doing here?"
"Chill, Felicia." Richard says. "I was just getting a bite to eat when I saw you two here. What's going on?"
"Well, if you must know," Felicia says, "[your name] and I are on a date."
That four-letter word repeated itself in your head. Richard notices the panicked look on your face.
"Felicia, can I talk to [your name] in private for a second?" he asks.
"Fine," she answers. "but don't take too long."
"Yeah, yeah." Richard said. He was a year older than Felicia, so he wasn't too fond of the fact that someone younger that him was telling him what to do.
Later, in the men's room.....
"Dude, what are you doing on a date with Felicia?" he asks, confused "I thought Sarina was your dream girl. You're not thinking of juggling two chicks, are you?"
"Of course not!" you say. "What had happened was, Felicia asked me to go to the diner with her last night, and I thought it was just as friends, but then this morning I found a love note from her on my nightstand."
"Damn." Richard says. "You are in trouble. You're lucky that I'm here."
"Does that mean you'll help me out?" you ask.
"Sure. All you need to do is let her down gently before you guys order your food." he explains. "This way, she wouldn't have spent money on you."
"Got it, thanks!" you say.
"Where would you be without me?" Richard asks.
"Dead." you answer.
You get back to your seat, and Felicia is happy to see you.
"Great, you're back. What were you two doing?" she asks.
"Nothing important." you say, trying to change the subject. "Felicia, there's something that I have to tell you."
"I'm all ears." she says.
You take a deep breath. This was gonna be hard. "Look, Felicia. I think there's a little... misunderstanding."
She tilts her head in confusion. "What do you mean?"
"When I accepted your invitation to come here, I thought that we were just going as friends, but then when I read your note, I didn't want to say anything at first because I didn't want to hurt your feelings. It's not because of you, it's just that... I'm with Sarina."
You were looking down the whole time, and when you looked up at Felicia...   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
