I woke up the next morning so confused. Everything with Arlen and my mom. How could she be so horrible? I had a date with the number 1 today. Ugh, he wasn't exactly the loveliest-looking guy. His name was Dolan, who names their child Dolan? We were supposed to meet at that new cafe. I got ready to have lunch with him. My mom conveniently was sitting in the dining room reading her book. I just walked past her not daring to look at her. I don't know if I could ever look at her the same.
I headed into the car and the driver drove me to the cafe. I honestly didn't want to go but then again I didn't want to get killed, so it left me with no choice, but to go to the cafe. I tried to calm myself down and look at the bright side of the situation. The thing was there was no bright side! Ugh, this was definitely gonna be the worst week ever. All of a sudden I felt my phone buzz, I checked my phone to see a Good morning message from Arlen. Every day Arlen would send me a Good morning and a picture of whatever he was eating for breakfast. With a little reminder to eat that day. Today it was just a Good morning message and him telling me how nervous he was for the date with the girl he met at the cafe. Right! I completely forgot about that girl, after everything that happened yesterday, me and Arlen never really got a chance to talk about her. Apparently, her name was Amelia and they had agreed to meet for brunch at some fancy brunch place down the street. I wished him the best and finished putting on my makeup.
When I finally arrived at the cafe, I could already feel a pit in my stomach. It wasn't a nervous feeling, but more like a sense of uneasiness. I walked into the cafe and sat at a table. He had texted that he was gonna be a few minutes late. This just gave me more of an uneasy feeling, wasn't he supposed to be the one taking me out? I just sat down and ordered myself a cup of tea to help me calm down. After a good 5 minutes, he finally showed up and sat down at the table. He had gingerish-blonde hair with greenish eyes. As I said he wasn't the loveliest-looking guy, he just had this weird-looking face like he was a 50-year-old in an 18-year-old body. I tried my best to move on from that, but he was silent and awkward. Which just made this date 10 times more awkward than it already was.
Fourtanely, the waiter came over just in time to take our order and we ordered our food. This helped a bit to start at least some kinda of conversation, he started going on about how he loved to start the day with a good 'ol bowl of oatmeal and a cup of Joe. Oh my gosh, I think he really is 50, someone please come save me. Anyway, he finally got his coffee, or as he likes to call it a Cup Of Joe, who even calls it that anymore? Once he got his coffee he started going on something about his mom. When he spilled his coffee all over me! He just went "Oops" and handed me a napkin.
Then continued to complain about his mom and how she was always trying to control his life and Blah, Blah, Something about not liking his job, Blah, Blah, are you kidding me?!?! Just kill me now. Then the waiter came with our food and he finally shut up. I just sighed and ate my food quietly, I can't believe my mom got me into this situation. Then after we finished our food he asked if I could pay the bill, because he didn't have the money! Which I knew wasn't true, I'm not dumb but I'm pretty sure he's getting loads of money from his job. Also wasn't he the one taking me out?!?! The whole thing is you take the person out, You Pay! Ugh, this whole date seemed like me taking a grumpy old man who somehow still lived with his mom out to eat. I just rolled my eyes and agreed.
Then he got up and LEFT! This had been the worst date ever, between his name being Dolan and looking like an old man, him spilling his "Cup of Joe" all over me, complaining about his mom the whole time, and leaving, making me pay the bill. I sighed and called the waiter over so I could get the check. I paid the check and finished the rest of my tea. I wonder how Arlen's date is going. Hopefully better than mine.
