Chapter 9
Kelly had gone shopping that afternoon for her diner tonight with Randy. She was having a lot of fun trying on all the dresses in the shops; it had been so long since she had gone on a spending spree. Even though she hesitated at first as she didn't want to spend all of Brett's and Lisa's money, but they had told her to shut up and enjoy it.
She had saw a pink dress with purple ribbon on it and thought it was so pretty, she tried it on but cringed as it was a bit low cut and remembered how Randy said she look hideous in a low cut dress, but the sales woman said she looked lovely so Kelly decided to buy it. She also went to the hair dresser and got hair layered and blow-dried.
Kelly parked in a spot outside the restaurant; Lisa had let her borrow her car for the evening. She got out of the car and walked up to the front doors of the place. Kelly stood at the entrance and saw Randy wearing a suit talking to the guy at the bar. She took a deep breath and started to walk over to him. Randy looked over and saw Kelly walking towards him. He smiled, she looked ok. No, she looked more then ok she looked pleasant. No, she looked more then pleasant she looked beautiful and he almost kicked himself at the thought.
"Hey." She said quietly to him. "Hey, glad to see you came, you look nice." He told her. Kelly gave a small smile. "Come on, our table is over there." He said and walked her over to a table near a huge window.
They both sat down and a waiter came over to them. "Would you like anything to drink?" He asked them. "We'll have wine please." Randy answered looking at Kelly. "Err I kinda prefer champagne." She said. "Ok, we'll have champagne instead." Randy said. "Oh no, don't worry, it's…" she started. "Uh. It's ok really." He replied. The waiter walked off to get their drink. "So you can have anything you want here." He said to her. "I'll just have a salad." She said quietly. "Really? Come on have something nice." He said to her. "No really it's fine." She said looking away. Randy bit his lip knowing it was his fault that he had made her like this. "Kelly?" He said to her. She looked over at him. "I'm gonna order you something from the menu ok?" He asked her. "Ok." She said. The waiter came back over with their champagne. "Are you ready to order?" He asked them. "Yes." Randy said and ordered him and Kelly a chicken meal. The waiter smiled and walked off. "I hope you like chicken." He asked taking a sip of his drink. "Yes I do." She smiled. Randy smiled back, she had a pretty smile he thought.
"So tell me about yourself?" He asked when their dinner arrived. "Well I'm 19 and my parents died about 4 years ago leaving me to raise Matthew myself. I work at a bakery which gives me just enough money to pay the bills for our apartment and Matthew's education." She explained. Randy felt a little guilty finding out what she had been through and knowing that he'd been nothing but an asshole to her. "Really?" He said. "Yeah, that's why I don't exactly have all the latest fashion trends and all the high tech entertainment things in our house." She explained. "We'll you look really pretty tonight anyway." He said then swallowed hard realizing what he had just said. Kelly went red and looked away. "How did ya get into watching wwe?" He asked breaking the ice. "Oh, my neighbor has cable so I and Matt go over there to watch it." She replied. "Oh ok." He said. They continued to have little small talk during their meal. "I might just go to the bathroom." She said to him. "Yeah of course." He said. She smiled and got up out of her chair and walked over to the bathroom. Randy took a sip of his drink and started to wonder whether or not what Chris had told him at that nightclub a few weeks ago was true, that he would start to think that girls like Kelly are beautiful; because he couldn't deny the facts that he thought Kelly looked pretty tonight. His thoughts were interrupted by a girl. "Hey there." She said to him. She looked like a playboy model he thought. "Hey." He smiled. She walked over to him and sat on his lap. "All alone tonight?" She asked him. "Well…I." He started then stopped as she began kissing his neck.
Meanwhile in the bathroom Kelly was so happy at the thought that maybe Randy was starting to like her. She wiped her hands and walked back out of the bathroom to go back to him; when she stopped and gasped. She saw some girl on his lap kissing him. Kelly started to cry and walked straight past them. Randy saw Kelly marching past them. "Oh Shit." He mumbled. He pushed the woman off him and ran out the door to find Kelly.
"Kelly, Wait, Kelly!" He yelled out to her. Kelly stopped and turned around. "You asshole, how could you!" She screamed at him. "What?" He said. "You take me out to dinner with you and I come out of the bathroom to find you making out with some slut!" She screamed. "Kelly, you didn't actually think that this was a date did you? Cause it isn't." He explained. Kelly stopped and swallowed hard and bit her lip.
