"Oh! He didn't drive me to this place, I boarded a cab to this place without his knowledge". She responded.
"You boarded a cab to this place without his knowledge? Why?". I threw another question at her with a bit of bewildered facial expression.
"That's because I didn't want him to know about this date, I don't want anyone to know about this date. I just want it to be between the both of us, I want to see where it would lead to". She responded once again.
I nodded my head a little before saying, "That makes sense".
She was wise, I couldn't deny it. It was nice that she didn't let the driver know about this date, it was nice that he wasn't here.
With only the both of us together, I'd be able to conquer her. But with the driver around the same space with us, conquering her wouldn't be easy 'cause there'd be too many questions.
"What about you? How did you get here? Did you come with a car?". She inquired of me.
Guess she was thinking I was rich, whereas, I wasn't, but I was heading there. This was the reason why I was happy it wouldn't be a case of me coming to pick her up from her house for the dates.
She'd be expecting me to come pick her up with a car. But I wouldn't, instead, I'd come pick her up with a cab for the two dates.
And with that, she might start suspecting that I wasn't rich. Or maybe I was dead poor but was just camouflaging.
I didn't like the question she'd just asked me. But there was nothing I could do about it, I'd have to answer it.
"I could have chosen to come with a car, but I chose to board a cab to this place as well due to some valid reasons".
..I didn't want anything that would make me fail the quest. So if it was to lie, then I was going to do so to the fullest.
"Okay". That was all she said.
I was surprised she didn't say more than that. But I was happy at the same time, let it stay that way.
"So, now that you're here, I guess we should order food and drinks". Allison's voice resounded again.
"Yeah, let's do that". I stated nodding my head a little.
"I'm going to call on one of the waiters now".
And after saying that, she didn't waste time to call on one of the waiters as the waiter had already walked toward us with a menu in his right hand.
"So, what would you guys like to order?". The waiter uttered to us after reaching us.
"Hand over the menu to us". Allison said to him.
The waiter didn't waste time to do so, he handed the menu over to us. Allison was the one holding it right now...
The waiter was very young according to what I was seeing, but he looked older than me though. He looked like he was 19 or 20 years old...I could be wrong though.
We ordered a drink and food each for ourselves with the help of the menu. Then the waiter said our orders would be made available in the next few minutes before walking away.
After the waiter walked away, Allison and I began conversing. She started out by saying to me,
"There's a particular question I want to ask you, Lucas".
..I was just hoping she wouldn't ask me a question that would put me on the spot. A question I wouldn't be comfortable with.
"Go on with the question". I said to her.
"Do you have siblings?". She threw the question at me immediately.
"Yeah, I have siblings". I responded.
"How many?". She inquired once again.
"Two siblings. An older brother and older sister as well, I'm practically the last born".
"Oh! That's nice. We are similar in that aspect, I have two siblings as well, a brother and a sister. The only difference is that I'm not the last born, my sister is. I'm the second born".
I nodded my head a little before saying, "That's great".
Allison threw another question at me after those words flowed out of my mouth,
"So, what does it feel like to be the last born?".
"Nothing much, just the normal stuff. Yeah, there'd been times when I've been pampered by my older siblings, but it doesn't happen often". I responded.
Allison didn't say anything to that, she only nodded her head a little...
And at that moment, I felt the urge to ask her what it felt like to be the second born, but I just held myself. She was from a rich family, so whether you're the firstborn, second born, and so on, everyone gets to enjoy affluence.
..To me, that was all that mattered.
The both of us were staring at each other when the waiter arrived with our orders and dropped them in front of us.
The moment my food was kept in front of me, the nice aroma flowed into my nostrils immediately...and that was enough for me to know that the food would be fucking delicious.
"Enjoy". The waiter said to us after keeping our orders in front of us, then he walked away.
"This looks delicious". Allison said to me after glancing at the food in front of her.
"I tell you. The aroma is enough to tell how delicious they'd be". I voiced out.
"Let's begin eating immediately".
And the moment Allison said that, we began eating immediately. And as expected, the foods were delicious, it was evident from the expressions that were on our faces as we were eating.
We weren't only eating, we were drinking as well. The waiter served our drinks along with a glass cup each. So we were pouring contents of the drinks into the glass cups and sipping.
We ate and drank without saying a single word to each other for minutes. After we were satisfied with how much we'd eaten and drank, we glanced at each other, then Allison's voice resounded,
"Now, that's what I'm talking about. These are nice".
"I agree a hundred percent". I stated.
And from there, we began conversing about other things. And during the time we were conversing, I kept hoping our conversation wouldn't lead to something I didn't want to talk about.
You know, there were certain conversations I was avoiding. There were certain questions I didn't want her to ask me...
Things that could put me on the spot, things that could tamper with all the effort I'd been putting into accomplishing my current quest.
And thank goodness, those kinds of questions and discussions didn't pop up during the time we were conversing.
We hadn't finished eating our food and consuming our drinks, but we'd consumed a huge chunk of them though. We were immersed in our conversation currently.
Once we were satisfied with how much we'd gotten to converse with each other, we'd resume consuming them. And who knows? We might still be conversing from time to time even while eating and drinking.
I mean, this was a date, we were supposed to converse a lot...
How would I say our date had been going so far? Well, it was going splendidly. Would I say it was special? Of course, it was very special.
I did my very best to make it special. And I wasn't the only one trying here, Allison was making it special as well.
After we were satisfied with how much we'd gotten to converse with each other, we resumed consuming our food and drinks. But consuming them didn't stop us from conversing.
Yes, we were still conversing even while eating and drinking, but not as much as before. I mean, we'd become so fond of each other...Allison especially, had become so fond of me.
I was just hoping today's date would lead to me conquering her, that was what I was mainly interested in. But if I can't get to conquer her today, then I have to try my very best to do so tomorrow.
We'd finished eating our food by now, it was remaining only our drinks. We just kept on sipping them, making use of our glass cups.
And you know what? I planned on asking Allison a particular question now that could put her on the spot. I just wanted to confirm something with it.
I didn't want her to ask me a question that could put me on the spot, but I planned on asking her such a question now.
Wasn't it unfair? I planned on doing something to her that I didn't want her to do to me. Well, I wasn't thinking about that right now, I was still going to do it anyway...
