Chapter 2
What a brilliant weekend I had! How I enjoy living the single life. No one to ask where you've been all day or night. God, am tired. Totally hungover. Was out on a bit of a bender yesterday. Whoever said that Sundays were a day of rest? Met an old friend from university for lunch and didn't quite make it home to my bed! Yes, still got it in me. Pulled this very sexy third year girl at University. Don't think I'll see her again though. This morning, I made my excuses. Work is always good for that. Couldn't believe my luck when I left without having her number forced upon me. Maybe she didn't want me to phone her. Oh, how foolish, course she did. All girls are dependent like that.
Walked in to the office late today and couldn't help but notice that girl in my office Bridget ruffling her hair upon seeing me. I'm used to girls behaving like that around me. What can I say? I'm a stud. No, that sounds quite arrogant. Lets just say, the female race are drawn to me. I gave Jones' a wink in the direction of her skirt as I walked passed her desk. She giggled and flattened it.
We emailed each other all last week. It turns out this girl does have quite a sense of humour. It's always a good sign when a woman can give as good as she gets. However, I am starting to get a little frustrated with all these back and forth emails. I swear, I email this girl, more than I do any work. It's time now though, enough beating around the bush. I'll ask her out for dinner when I'm leaving the office today. When no one is around. I can't have anyone knowing about this little affair. It would, most definitely lower my profile!
I wonder where I should take her. I mean, it's not really all that important. Suppose what the most important thing is whose house afterwards, mine or hers? However dinner is always good to sweeten them up first. It's fun too. I like getting to know girls. They're sometimes more fun to go out with than men. I would definitely say that girls are better conservationists than men. I mean, as much as I enjoy having conversations about sport twenty-four hours a day, it is nice to have a bit of variation. But don't get me wrong, only a little bit of variation. If you start hanging around with a girl too much she always tries to change your masculinity. Yes, she'll prevent you from going out with the lads or ask to watch a chick flick instead of your rugby. She'll remind you that you need your haircut and to shave. You start to wonder, do you think I'm female? Do you want me to start wearing makeup? It's just not on. Its things like that which remind me why I like the single life so much.
Anyway, where to go for dinner? Hmmm, I'm thinking a Mexican. She'd enjoy that. We can have some tequila slammers and all that before we go home. The perfect icebreaker. I think it will be a good night. Yes, that's what I'll do. That's set, now all I have to do is ask her out! Maybe I should just send her an email saying when and where. No, that would seem too arrogant. She might not understand the humour. I'll just catch her when I'm leaving tonight. Well, wish me luck, not that I'll need it. She won't say no!
