Chapter 79

"You want to set me up on a blind date?" Sean asked in shock as he made his way through DCF.

"Sean, you've been single for quite a while and you deserve to go out and have some fun."

"Fun?"

"Listen to me when I say that I know someone who might just have a crush on you…" she said in a sing-song voice.

"Please not Maxine. Tell her to go bother Robert instead."

"Nope. I can guarantee you that it's not her but someone else."

"Would I have known this person?"

"Perhaps…"

"Would we have gotten along?"

"Absolutely."

"Hmmm…I'm intrigued. What's the catch?" he said folding his arms by his desk.

"Catch?" Laura asked innocently.

"Yes. Is there something that must be done after doing this?"

"Does seeing the happiness of a very close friend count?"

"You got me on that one."

"C'mon, Sean. Please, just a dinner and a movie. Simple. If you want to have another you are welcomed to but if not."

"Fine. For yours and everyone's sake I'll go but if something goes wrong you owe me."

"Absolutely."

"Okay. Well then we seem to be clear with that. I'll do it."

"Great," Laura said giving him a knowing smile.

"No!"

"Donna!"

"No means no, Vincent. I am not going to be your little rat for your little dating experiment. The only man that captured my very essence and soul was Oscar," Donna said dramatically. "And look at where that got me. At least I have a little angel that I alone with your help and Laura's have molded. But love-life. Uh-uh. Vincent it ain't happening," she said walking away to the kitchen.

"Donna. I see the way you look at Sean and…"

"Sean?" Donna said looking up at Vincent.

"Crap," he told himself blowing his cover.

"You mean you're trying to set me up on a date with Sean."

Vincent then just nodded his head.

"Look, this is a blind date so don't you dare go off and tell Laura that I told you until at least I tell her first. Got that?"

"Aiyeye captain!" Donna said enthusiastically.

"You seem happier," he then said.

"If it's him. I'll give it a shot."

"Great," Vincent said.

Now just to tell Laura.
