For the umpteenth time, Vukan took another look at his watch and cursed the fact that he had showed up at all. There were hosts of other things he would rather be doing than allow himself get shown off like a priced hog to someone he wasn't even sure he would like. To make matters worse, his father had chosen the spot for him and the mystery date to meet up.
Vuken cast his gaze around, wondering what had made their parents pick that particular restaurant in the first place. Asides the overly brought features of the room, it was drab and dour in every other aspect.
"I should not have come here", he mumbled to himself. "I should have stood my ground and told them I don't want to do this'.
It would have been tough, but it was something he was sure he could have pulled off regardless. More so, his mother had been the one to encourage him into giving in.
"For peace's sake, do this and don't let things get out of hand", she had pleaded with him.
