I woke up at six a.m. the next morning. I was extremely excited, but I didn't know why because I have been on several dates and have never been this excited before. I don't know why but it took me two hours to pick the perfect outfit for today. I didn't know this man but I really wanted to impress him. I finally chose a light blue dress with little yellow flowers on it. I went downstairs and made myself a lite breakfast, then I went down to the diner.
It was 8:45 a.m. when I got to the parking lot. I tried to take my time but it just didn't work out that way. I parked my car around back and then I sat down at the pic Nik table and waited for the next ten minutes to go by.
The next time I looked up he was standing in front of me,"Why didn't you get my attention? I was lost in my game. Has ten minutes gone by so quickly?"
"It's ok I was watching you play. Did you know you have the cutest little eyebrow twitch when you start getting upset."
"Um no I didn't know that. Thank you, I think. So anyway are you ready? Where would you like to go?"
"First of all I ask that if you have a car we take that one. I have a rental that charges by the mile so I try not to use it if I don't have to."
"Oh okay you rented from Mr. Wilson. That's not good. Sure we can take my car. It's behind the diner. Also this means if you don't behave yourself your walking. So where do you want to start?"
" I accept your terms. Well I need to buy a house, I can't stay at the motel forever. Do you know where a realtor office is? Let's start there and then possibly look at some houses. Then get something to eat if your up for it."
"Sounds like a plan let's go see Miss Abby. She is our realtor. I think you will like her. She is also the town gossip so be careful with what you say near her."
"Thanks for the advice, I will be careful with everything I say while I am around her."
Once we got to Miss Abby's office I introduced then then I went out to the waiting room. They talked for about twenty minutes then Elyon came out with four pictures of houses. We went out to the car. Once we were ready he asked me," What house do you think is the best? I don't know about you but I'm not really up to going to each house. Can you pick out the best two and we see those."
"Sure, let's see what ones she gave you."
I looked at the four pictures and read the information that was printed at the bottom. Then I looked up at him and said," The best ones are this two story brick ranch house or this two story Victorian house. Those other two are really run down and nasty. My favorite is the Victorian though."
"Well then by all means let's go see these two then."
So I drove him out to each house. I showed him around and in the end he chose the Victorian house. We went back to the real estate office and he bought the house. Then we went to lunch. He asked me to drive to a "fancy" restaurant so I took him to the Applebee's. He ordered a rare steak and I got the ribs. When the check came out he grabbed it up.
"You are my guest as well as my guide lunch is on me."
I smiled and agreed while he paid the bill. Then he asked me to take him to a store so he can buy important items. So I took him to the Wal-Mart and he got what he needed. Then I took him back to his room and helped him take his stuff to his room. When we were all done he thanked me and asked if I would like to go to the movie with him. I said yes and we set the time for six tomorrow night. Then he kissed my hand and walked me to my car. We said good bye one last time and I went home.
