Chapter 1:

5 years earlier

I have a date tonight; I am very nervous and excited at the same time. This date needs to be perfect; well everything in my life has to be perfect. I have a perfect life, I have an apartment in downtown Austin that cost more then my parents house, I have my own bakery where I specialize in healthy bakery items like whole-grain and gluten pasties, and I have the best friend in the world. The only thing missing is a romantic partner.

I was dating this guy Liam Booker for the last 3 years. I thought he was the one, we moved in together and talked about marriage in the near future. Then I found out he had been cheating on me for the last year of the relationship with this Zita girl. I was so hurt that I kicked his ass out of my apartment and have not spoke to him since. He has tried to call a couple of times but I always put his calls to voice message.

So I guess you can say I have been out of the romance game. Before Liam I was in College and I dated off and on. In college was when I started, uh, experimenting? My Best friend Duke and I were very popular in College. We were always invited to parties and always had a blast. During those parties I would meet guys and girls but there was this one girl would always catch my eye. Her name was Jeannette and we would always hang out at these parties. Before we knew it we had a thing and I realized that I might not be all-straight.

Jeannette and I had fun; we would meet up at her apartment and try to "study" for our world history class. The studying then turned in to some kissing and then the kissing would go further.

After about 3 months of "studying" with Jeannette she asked me to be her girlfriend. I was hesitant at first but the way this girl kissed I knew I couldn't say no. We dated for about a year. We didn't have this dramatic breakup like most couples have. She was graduating from College and moving to Colorado and I was still in school. Neither of us wanted to hold the other back so we decided breaking up would be the best for both of us.

Jeannette and I still talk frequently. She has a wife and twin boys. Duke and I went to their wedding and I was there for the birth of her sons. She told me if I ever needed anything I could ask and she would help. To be honest, she was the best relationship I have ever had.

Now Liam was another story. His family owns a big Internet search engine and had their heads up their Asses. I swear, I dated Liam for 3 years and his family never bothered to know my name. My family wasn't a big fan of him either. To them Liam was disrespecting and damaging my aura. When I told them we broke up they made it obvious they were happy.

Now I am not saying I don't miss Liam, some days are better then others and he was my longest romantic relationship I ever had. But Duke is making me "get out there" and meet new people.

So that is why I said yes to this blind date.

Duke told me a little about my date. What I know is that she is her fiancé best friend. I found out she is female, blond hair and very hot. I am not sure if that is Duke's words or her fiancé Shane, but she said her fiancé and this girl has been a friend for several years.

Duke believes this girl is a perfect match for me. I am starting to doubt her because this girl is an hour late for our date.

I have been frantically getting ready for this date, making sure I look the best ever so I could impress her. I let my nerves boil up and now I am freaking out inside.

I am currently trying not to look at the clock every second as I am siting in my living room trying to read the latest issue of cosmopolitan.

Ding! Ding!

I get up quickly and head towards the door. I wait a couple of seconds and hear a second ring of the doorbell. I take a deep breath and open the door.

When I open the door I see a blond girl standing in front of me. Her long blond hair falling around her shoulders and her eyes as blue as the sea. She is a couple of inches taller then me, which I do admit, is hot and wearing a black biker jacket with boots.

I am taken a little back because Duke was right, she is hot, but I am a little annoyed at how she is dressed. It is obvious she didn't put any effort in this date. From being late to the way she is dressed.

I think she is a little taken back also because she stares at me a little before reaching out her hand.

"Hi I'm Amy".

"I'm Karma" I respond back. I grab her hand and we awkwardly shake hands.

Amy shifts from her left foot to her right and looks back at me.

"Ready" she asks and she turns around leaving me in my door frame.

I am a little turned off by how rude she is. I mean she didn't apologize for being late, her outfit is terrible and she just turns away and walks off. I huff to myself and quickly turn around, grab my keys, lock my door and try to run in my heals to catch up with her.

We finally make it outside and I am looking for her car. I only see my smart car and my neighbor's cars.

"Where is your car?" I ask

A second after I ask the question I hear a roaring sound of a motorcycle.

I turn around and see Amy handing me a helmet as she is on her motorcycle.

Now I am annoyed. She came in a motorcycle. How is that romantic, how are we going to start to small talk before dinner. Not to mention I am wearing a short red dress and high heals. I can't ride a bike in this.

I hand the helmet back to Amy and try to talk to her over the engine of the motorcycle.

"MAYBE I SHOULD DRIVE, MY CAR IS RIGHT THERE!" I shout as I point to the red smart car.

She looks in the direction of my finger and rolls her eyes.

"Come one, just get on" she says as she puts on her helmet.

This girl is unbelievable.

"I'M NOT GOING ON THIS DEATH TRAP!" I yell. Stomping my foot to the ground trying to be stern.

Amy looks at me and rolls her eyes.

She turns off the engine and takes off her helmet.

I take out my car keys from my purse and head towards my car. She follows.

My smart car is the perfect size for me. I am pretty short to begin with so the height of the drivers seat is perfect. I also love the fact that it is small and saves Earth's energy. For Amy, it looked like she is was squeezed into this car and have no way of moving. I mentally take a picture of her, as it is adorable and annoying.

I turn to Amy.

"Where are we going?" I ask.

She looks at me and says "Uh, this place where there is food." She says.

I laugh a little at her joke and see her staring back at me.

"No really, where are we heading?" I ask.

"Where ever you want." She says looking down at her phone.

I watch her for a second as I am thinking to myself that she is joking. But I see her searching through her Yelp app on her phone looking at restaurants in Austin.

"You didn't make a reservation?"

"No, where do you want to go?" She asks, not looking up for her phone.

This date keeps on getting worst and worst.

"Where ever" I say looking out the window. I am so frustrated with this woman I don't know if I can stand an hour alone with her.

I start to hear vibration from Amy's phone and see her answer the call.

She turns away from me and face the passenger side window. Her voice is very quite but I am hear a little of what she is saying.

"Hey, yea. I can meet you tonight. Uh give me about an hour and a half" Amy says looking at me. When we make eye contact she quickly turns away from me and says "bye babe".

I roll my eyes. I don't know why I even tried with this woman.

"Okay, so you need to get out of my car." I say to Amy furious taking off my shoes because of the pain. I haven't dressed up for someone since Liam. Being all dolled up was seriously a waste of my time.

She looks at me as if I am joking.

"GET OUT OF MY CAR" I yell as I hit her left arm with my shoes.

"GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT" I repeatedly say.

As I hit Amy she brings her hands up trying to stop me from hitting her.

"STOP, KARMA STOP, OUCH!" She yells back.

After a few minutes of us yelling and hitting each other Amy gets out of the car. I also get out of my car and head towards my apartment.

I hear Amy mumble under her breath, "crazy bitch" and I try my best to not attack her again. Amy puts the key in the ignition of her motorcycle and starts the engine.

I quickly look back and see she is putting her helmet on and leaves.

As I see that she left I take out my phone and call Duke.

"Duke, we need to talk. You are never setting me up on a blind date. Amy was terrible" I spoke into the phone.

I walk up the stairs and lock the door.

I need to let out some stress and the only thing that relaxes me is bubble baths.

I go into my bathroom and start the water. I put some soap into the water and see it bubbles.

I dim the lights in my bathroom and have three lit candles surrounding my tub.

I take off my clothes and slowly sit in the tub. I let the hot water relax my muscles.

I try to forget about this terrible date and pray to God that I never have to see this Amy again.
