I sighed as I stepped into the car. This is the sixth time my friends set me on a blind date. I am to meet the batchelor in 5 minutes. My dress shimmered in the moonlight. It was a topaz brown, with a hint of silver. My necklace jumped off my neck as I hopped out the Acura. I almost tripped on my dress, but a pair of arms caught me.
His soft brown eyes winked as I stood up. And his smile dazzled me with me with joy.
"Are you okay?" he asked in his melondy-like voice. It wasn't long for me to reply.
"Yuh-yea, yea, I'm fine," I said stuttering. I tried to stand up.
"Hmm... clumsy, fancy, stutters... You must be Max."
"Last time I checked I was," I said playfully.
We sat down at the table that faced the corner. We joked and ate. When he muttered about me being different...
"In a good way?" I said in a high voice.
"Maybe..."
I scowled at him and he laughed. Instead, I threw a piece of bread and he caught it in his mouth.
The soup came and the funny-looking waiter left.
"Hey doggy, there's a thing called a spoon," I joked.
He looked at me as if I was speaking gibberish. And he then did an "ohhhh" face and picked up the spoon by the wrong end. I laughed.
My perfect date ended as Medusa enter the room with her "sisters."
"Hello, Lissa," I muttered in a gruff tone.
"Oh, I didn't see you there, Max!" she exclaimed.
Yea right.
"And who is this?" she asked me.
"This is ...umm..." I began.
"Fang," he ended.
"Awww! You finally found someone!" she exclaimed as if I just found out how to walk.
"We'll being going, Max's friends are leaving," Fang said as he excused us.
"Nice save," I said as we walked out the door.
"Thanks."
