Episode 19
On A Date
Lucy is all dressed for her date with Damon. She's in the sitting room waiting for him, he is twenty minutes late. Mrs Green enters
Mrs Green: All this drama, I hope it ends soon
Lucy: Hmm
Mrs Green: What is hmm? I just asked you if it is ending soon
Lucy: It is, mom. It will end soon
Mrs Green: Good
Lucy: (to herself) And continues after I turn 19
Mrs Green: Excuse me?
Lucy: I said nothing
Mrs Green: Alright.
Seems like your date is late
Lucy: Maybe something happened in the road, you know, Upper West is all drama and happenings
Mrs Green: Which you are a part of
Lucy: Mom!
Mrs Green: Whatever
I am going to my study, be home by 9pm (Leaves)
Lucy: Too strict for a mother! (Car honking can be heard)
He's here! (Takes a pocket mirror from her purse and checks herself one last time before going out to meet Damon)
Hey Damon
Damon: Hey, Princess
Lucy: You came late, I was waiting
Damon: Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't even realize that I'm late. My wristwatch is backward in time, I guess.
Lucy: Yeah, it is
Damon: Well, I'm here now, right? Let's go and enjoy the evening. (Opens the car for her to enter and goes to the driver's seat, car speeds off)
At the place (Lovers Garden).
Suited in a field near a pool and owned by a restaurant
Couple chairs (one facing the other), and a table between them are under trees that are shaped in heart shapes and full of roses. Dim lights are placed in the top trees and slow music is being played
Lucy: Wow, (looking round in awe) I love this place.
Damon: I knew you would (smiling proudly) It's the Lovers Garden
Lucy: First time seeing it
Damon: Well, it's new here in the Upper West. And just suitable for the most beautiful girl in the planet Earth and beyond
Lucy: Awww
Damon: Sit down please, let's get our orders.
What do you care for, princess
Lucy: (Blushes) I don't want to eat much, I will just get spag and chicken
Damon: You can get continental dishes if you want, they have it here
Lucy: (to herself) I know there are continental dishes here, I'm not new to this place and I do eat continental dishes here. It's just the Love Garden suited here that's new to me. Why is he acting as if I'm some poor girl who knows nothing about these places.
Relax Lucy, maybe that's how boys behave in relationships, you are new to all these relationship stuff, just learn and go with the flow
(To Damon) I know, Damon. I just want spag and chicken
Damon: Alright then.
Waiter! (A waiter comes in) Give me the order menu, lemme see what I can eat. (Waiter gives him the menu)
Is that how you give the menu to someone, a president's son? Is it because I'm here in this restaurant? There are other expensive restaurants. What is wrong with you?
Lucy: (astonished) It's really nothing, Damon. Don't lash out at him
Waiter: I'm sorry sir, I'm really sorry sir (bows continually)
Damon: Whatever. (Opens the menu) You are lucky my babe is here, I just want to respect her Presence, if not…
Give me the Broccoli chicken, I'm a vegetarian. And get spag and chicken for my baby
Waiter: Yes, sir (goes out quickly to get the orders)
Lucy: (to herself) Does this guy know that vegetarians don't eat chicken? Did I land on a bizarre planet or something?
Damon: Did I mention how beautiful you are?
Lucy: Why, thank you. (Waiter comes in with orders)
Damon: Let's get digging. (Starts eating) Won't you eat princess? (Lucy smiles and eats) Want some broccoli? (Lucy nods negatively)
You know, we vegans are healthier than you guys that eat meat. You should try being a vegan and you would be less pale
Lucy: Excuse me?
Damon: You know, your skin won't be all pale and white like it is now
Lucy: (that's enough, I can't take it any longer) Excuse me, I wanna use the restroom
Damon: Sure, sweetie. I will just cover your food for you. (Smiles broadly and Lucy leaves for the rest room)
At the Love Garden, farther away from Damon and Lucy's table, Sasha and Antoine can be seen together having dinner. And Sasha sights Lucy leaving for the restroom
Sasha: She's here? What's she doing here
Antoine : Who's that, Sash?
Sasha: Lucy! Did you invite her here?
Antoine : No, I didn't. I only brought a special you to a special place, and no one else
Sasha: Or they came to spy on me?!
No, they would rather send someone else.
Maybe she's here for a date. (Turns around and sees Damon) Oh yeah, she is
Antoine : Nice, good to know we aren't the only lovers here.
(Stands up) Let's go talk to them
Sasha: No, dummy. Sit (Antoine sits down and just then Sasha sees Damon talking to a girl, curious, she gets up to go closer and eavesdrop)
I will be right back, Toine (Leaves)
Antione: Did she just abbreviate my name? Dude, I am getting close to getting a nickname, soon I will be accepted fully by her!
Can't wait! (Grinning)
Sasha gets to where Damon and the girl is and was fortunate to hear their last words as she hid behind a tree
Damon: I'm not with that girl, promise babe.
See, just accept my card and call me whenever, I am always free for beautiful and sexy girls like you
Girl: Alright, if you say so. But I'm still skeptical about her, I mean, she's the popular L and I'm not popular at all. I don't want to be played by you, Damon
Damon: Baby! Listen, I'm not playing you, I won't play you. Infact, she's the one being played.
Girl: Okay then. I will call you later tonight. (Gives air kisses and leaves, Damon smiles triumphantly to himself and sits down on his chair)
Sasha: So, This president's son doesn't love Lucy?
This is the greatest message I have ever heard today. Promises of a fun year (Laughs and goes back to her table)
At the restroom
Lucy: This guy's so not what I expected him to be? Worst date ever!
I will tell KB about this, cause I don't understand, is this how boys are, in relationships? Or is it because it's a fake relationship?
Oh, I'm so confused! (Looks at herself in the mirror) I never knew I was pale?
But I don't seem pale
Kris warned me on this, he's probably gonna laugh at me.
What have I gotten myself into?
(Signs, fakes a smile to herself and leaves to go back to Damon)
