Chapter Eighteen

The First Date

Raoul met Meg on the stoop of the Opera that night. He was so excited he could barely stand still. Meg was dressed in a very skimpy dress, that Raoul loved. In fact it was the first thing he complimented.

"Oh Meg, I absolutely love the dress."

"Thanks. You look great yourself," she was also very excited. She had always had a crush on Raoul but knew that he was Christine's man so she never interfered. But know he was single and she couldn't help but start crushing on him again.

They headed towards a small restaurant to eat and catch-up. They ate and talked for about two hours or more before they were asked to leave so the restaurant could close. Then they walked to a quiet spot to continue "talking."

Raoul soon realized that it was getting late, then escorted Meg back to the Opera. There he bayed her good night. After that he walked himself home, where he wrote in his journal.

Dear Miss Pages,

I had the greatest night ever. Meg looked fabulous in her pink evening gown. After we greeted we walked to , where we feasted and talked. We were, after about two hours, asked to leave, because the restaurant had to close, so we left and went somewhere quiet to continue talking. After a while I realized it was late and escorted her back to the Opera. When we got there I kissed her and bayed her goon night. Can you believe it I KISSED her. I KISSED her on the stoop of the Opera. And I loved it, I also think she loved it too. After that I walked home and began to write to you about my successful night.

Yes, I know what you're thinking, and NO! I do not think that I made the wrong decision by going with her tonight. You know why? Because I had to get over Bob, and that was the only way to do it. I found a beautiful woman to go out on a date with and enjoyed the time with her more than I thought I would. You know what else? I could easily see myself spending the rest of my life with her, but is just an idea, nothing more.

Well I am going to go to bed. Good night Miss Pages.

Love, your owner,

RaoulY
