Despite this, no one has asked him out because of his verbose nature. Gosh, sometimes it would be because Colin would not notice when someone was speaking to him, let alone asking him out! Talk about selective hearing, or maybe he's just downright deaf 'cuz of that cellphone addiction! I must say I am surprised I can make small talk with the guy at least!
I remember there was that one case when he dated that mustached corporate boss's daughter, Vicky Big. I heard things were going steady until Colin proposed to her, which Vicky rejected. Then they broke up and that was that, relationship over. I think she dodged a bullet there, Colin would have probably talked her ear off! I wonder how she was able to even tolerate the guy in the first place, let alone have a conversation face-to-face! Maybe all their conversations were over the phone.
"Hey!" Colin's call breaks my train of thought. "You mind if I ask you somethin'?" Wait a minute, is he actually talking to me? I decide to roll with it and grant him permission with a nod. "Well, let me just get this out there, I like you! Would yoooou...like to go out with me sometime?" At such a request I gawk at him, speechless. I couldn't believe it at first, that this man, the cellphone guy, has asked me out. I never been asked out before, I had no clue what to say! Besides, a guy like him was definitely NOT my type! He's inconsiderate, way too noisy, and impatient!
However, I think it over. I look over Colin more thoroughly, he's got his eyes drooped in a charming way, the grin still present, awaiting my answer as he twiddles his striped tie. Guess he really is serious about all this. "You're really asking me?" I needed to know why.
"Yeah, well, I like talking with you and I think you're pretty cute. I want to get to know you better!" Gah, so straightforward! Hm, perhaps if I give this a shot, I could get to know him better as well. Oooooor...maybe this would be the perfect way to give the cellguy exactly what he deserved! Just think, he's always gotten away with running off the customers because it would be worse for the restaurant if a scene was caused. But what if the date went successfully, then we got together and went on more dates, then at some point we'd end up sleeping together, right? That would be the perfect time for vengeance!
I could see it now. Once we would get on the bed, I'd make sure I was laying on top of him. And when he least expects it, I would grab a hold of his neck with both hands and strangle him 'til he passes out! Now that I think about it, it sounds pretty harsh, but c'mon, they do it in cartoons. Besides, I didn't plan on killing him, but this was the only thing I could think of to release all that resentment. Afterwards, I'd take all his money he's cost me...and maybe a few other things. I should bring a marker too so I can draw on his face! Yes, perfect! That'd probably leave him heartbroken, too!
I realize that I've been staring at Colin in deep thought for around a minute. "Ah, sorry. It was worth a shot though, right. I'll see you later," he sighs, getting up from his seat as he takes his leave. "Wait!" I grab hold of his shoulder, his head turns to me, eyebrows raised. "Ahem, uh, yeah, I'll go out with you! I'm off tomorrow, so...?" Immediately Colin's eyes light up, he takes hold of my hands and shakes it exuberantly, as if he just closed a good deal. "Great, great! Here, take this." He hands me a business card, it read his name with a phone number under it. "Call me, that way we'll have each others numbers! We can make a date then!"
Colin checks the clock on the wall. "Oh, would you look at that! I gotta get goin'! But I'll see you later, for sure! Remember to call me!" he says hastily as he speedwalks out of the restaurant, waving goodbye as he lifts his cellphone to his ear.
"Don't worry, I'll remember!"
Yeah, I'll remember alright. I hope the customers don't notice the semi-malicious smile creeping up my cheeks.
