when they got to the restaurant, she expected them to have a private table but instead they just sat at the regular tables. she said to herself
" This man.....ah...are you really that cheap ?? that you won't even get a private table.
They sat in silence for two minutes which for them, felt like an hour. Out of the blue Isabella asked
" Have you ever gone on a blind date, as in set ups? " he gave her the ARE YOU REALLY ASKING face.
" Ah.....this man must you always give that look, " she said to herself.
" How many blind dates have you gone for? " she was expecting that face but lucky for her he answered.
" I've gone for soo many that i can't remember. "
" Okay, throughout this month how many have you gone for? "
" Fifteen "
" WHAT!!!!! fifteen SERIOUSLY?? "
" Meh, its not a big deal " he shrugged.
" Why is she so surprised " he asked himself.
" My mom only sets me up like twice a month."
" Lucky "
" Seriously, how do you survive?? "
" I - i literally dont know "
"Wait....so above all the set ups which was your worst, " she was really enjoying the conversation.
" There's no way this man can be the cold, devilish ceo right ? " she asked herself.
" Just look at his misty ash - "
" NO!!! Isabella, remember the plan. NO FALLING IN LOVE!!!!!!! " She scolded herself.
" The fourteenth set up this month, " he finally answered after a whole lot of thinking.
" Why?? "
" hmmm...okay lets see...Firstly, she came to an elegant, world class restaurant dressed like a striper. Secondly, she is a smoker and i do not, i repeat do not like smokers. Thirdly, she had alot of children from different fathersssssss. Lastly, above all, she was so deformed and ugly that if i was to kiss a rat lip to lip, i will rather do that than kiss her, or marry her, or even touch her. "
" Pffttt ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, was she really that bad"
" She would have been better, if she didn't dress like a striper, didn't put a quatriple layer of foundation and so much lipstick and didn't fix lashes as long as a witches broom.
" So if i one day come to you looking like a striper - "
"NO WAY !!!!!, I'll just give you some space and advice you, you're my friend, how will i do that to a friend ?"
The word friend kept playing in her head like a broken tape record.
" friend "
" friend "
" friend "
" friend "
" Ah...this man...how can he think of me as a friend so easily? "
" Now let me ask you, " he brought her out of her thoughts.
" Okay "
" Above all set ups which was your worst? "
" hmmm.....lets see.....the time my mother got so desperate, she decided to pick any man she saw. She picked a short, fat, stinky old man. Guess what she told me "
" what?? "
" She said, " she rose her hand as if she was an old, rich british lady carrying a hand bag and she imitated her mother saying
" Honey don't worry its not so bad to be a mistress, just get pregnant, dump him and vuala you're good to go. You can be a single mother, " she said while doing her best impression of her desperate mother.
" Pffftttttt ha ha ha ha ha ha "
She was so so deep in her conversation that she failed to notice the smile on his face.
" Wait.....and as at that fact she drugged his drink and i later got drunk. Imagine this drugged plus drunk.
" Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha," he laughed so hard he was hitting the table while trying to catch his breath.
" As at the drunkness i could still notice those YELLOW TURNING BROWN TEETHS!!!! like SERIOUSLY?? didn't your parents teach you how to use a tooth brush and a toothpaste, " she exaggerated.
" ha ha ha ha ha ha, " this time he was already squeezing his tommy tight while hitting his head on the table frequently.
" Worst part was - "
" bzzzzzzzz, " his is phone vibrate to indicate that someone was calling. Still trying to catch his breath, he checked the caller id
" NO!!! NO!!!! NO!!!!! "
It was his mother
knowing that his mother would continue calling until he pick up. He answered the call. "Hel - "
" You smart, ungrateful excuse for a
son, why haven't you called? You didn't come home last night, why? If you don't come home right now i'm not going to sleep."
"....."
" By the way, have you gotten a girl, you know i'm not growing older right ? I need grandchildren, you can't just end my generation here."
" Mom i can't come this night "
"wh - "
BEEP!!!!! knowing he'll have to explain himself to her, he immediately cut the call.
" Can't she just stop nagging for once?? " he asked himself
" Nagging mothers right ? "
" Yess "
" Don't tell me, she wants GRANCHILDREN, " she imitated his mother.
" You know, you're really good at imitating."
" I'm flattered " that's when it hit her.
" How about we pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend, so we can get our mom of our backs for a while "
" But we're not in love. "
" Yeah, duh, we will pretend to be in love in front of others but to ourselves we know we aren't. "
" So like FAKE LOVERS. "
" Yes, Fake lovers. "
Deep inside he wasn't happy about the FAKE but was happy about the LOVER and he had to get his mum of his back, he agreed.
" We'll just sign a conta - "
" bzzzzzzz," he ignored it
"bzzzzzzz, " he ignored it again
" We'll just si - "
"bzzzzzzzz"
" Um....aren't you gonna pick that "
"Nope "
"It might be serious "
"Ah.....okayyyyy " He sluggishly picked up his phone and answered the call.
"Hel- "
" SON COME HOME NOW OR ELSE!!!!! "
BEEEEPPP!!!!!
" Ah...this people really need to learn how to be patient, its really getting on my nerves. Why do they keep cutting me off !!!!! " he shouted to himself.
Knowing his father, he rushed out.
" Sorry i have to go, bye it was nice seeing you, hope we see again sooner or later bye."
"But the - " he had already left before she could finish her sentence.
She paid for their food and drove back home. When she got home she had her bath and immediately fell asleep.
