Owen Harper stood slumped against his living room wall. His white shirt contrasting nicely with the beige walls. He had unknowingly become another ornament in his museum home. Tonight had not turned out as planned. His whole Friday night had been planned. Last Tuesday, Owen had wandered into a blonde. She knew stories of a Doctor, who she was aiming to find. Much like Jack. Doctor who?
The blonde had named herself BW to him, but wouldn't explain what those initials stood for. He finally asked her to meet him at his flat, 18:30 sharp. He would take her out for dinner. BW had seemed all for it. Rather excited in his eyes. If that was so, then why at 19:00 was he still in his apartment awaiting her arrival? Mysteriously, whilst he and Jack had been chatting about the blonde, jack had muttered something to do with "severed hands' and blue boxes'", and his line had abruptly cut off. What was going on?
Now he was trapped in, on a Friday of all days. Then a thought occurred to him. Toshiko. She had asked him on a date. He had agreed, but hadn't thought much of it until now. He had to admit he liked her. Although, if anybody was to ask, nothing of the sorts would have been spoken.
"Hello, this is Toshiko." Her voice rang soft through the speaker.
"Toshiko, Its Owen. I've nothing better to do, so how about that date? On me." Owen asked.
Owen could practically hear the smile on Toshiko's face. When she replied, the excitement was radiating through the iPhone.
"Yes, thank you."
"Good. I'll be by in half hour to pick you up. Scrub that, forty-five minutes. I know what you women are like getting ready. Don't you keep me waiting Toshiko Sato!" Owen hung up. He knew he was been arrogant, but he hoped Toshiko knew him well enough, to know he didn't mean anything nastily. After all, he was Owen Harper. Dr Owen Harper, and that's how he rolls.
He couldn't help grinning despite the sheer feeling of been bored keeps runs like fire through his veins. He flicked the kettle on, and proceeded through to the bathroom. Something deep down told him he should really try with this one. This date was going to be different. He knew it.
