I woke up the next morning, feeling happy and refreshed.
When I went out for breakfast Randy said "Something arrived for you."
"What?" I asked.
"See for yourself."
I went out to the living room to find a huge bouquet of sunflowers on the table. I looked at Randy who was leaning against the wall, looking amused.
"Who sent them?" I asked.
"Gee Avary you're really dense," he told me "Who do you think they're from?"
"Dad?"
"No."
"Mom?"
"No."
"You and John?"
"No."
"Then who?"
"Just read the damn card!"
"OK!"
I grabbed the card and opened it.
It read-
Avary,
I had a really great time with you last night. You're everything Randy said you would be and more. I was hoping we could have our second date tonight at about 7. I'd like to take you out to a movie if that's okay with you.
I hope you like the flowers and I hope you still want to go that second date with me.
Evan
I looked at Randy and asked "He really sent these?"
"Yes he did," replied Randy "He must really like you."
"I guess so."
Just then the phone rang and Randy answered. He talked for a moment, then handed the phone to me.
"It's Evan" he told me.
He left the room and I said into the phone "Good morning Evan."
"Good morning Avary," he said "Did you get my flowers and my note?"
"Yes I did," I replied "The flowers are beautiful. Thank you."
"It's my pleasure. So what do you think about us having our second date tonight?"
"I'm thinking I'd love to have that second date with you tonight."
I heard him let out a yell and I had to smile. When he came back on the phone he asked "Are the movies okay? Or would you like to do something else?"
"The movies sound great," I told him "I'd really like to see Dear John."
"Sounds like a plan to me. Would you like to grab dinner before or after?"
"After works for me."
"Okay. Is 7 good for you?"
"7 is perfect."
"All right," he said "So I will be seeing you at 7."
"See you at 7" I told him.
"Bye Avary."
"Bye Evan."
We hung and I looked over at Randy who was dancing around like an idiot. I laughed and said "You're acting like he just asked you out."
"I'm happy for you!" he yelled "We have to go shopping! I have to call John! I have to pick out a china pattern!"
"What do you need to pick out a china pattern for?"
"Your wedding!"
I grabbed one of the pillows off the couch and threw it at him, hitting him square in the face. He grabbed the pillow and threw it back at me, missing me completely. "What was that for?" he asked.
"You're planning too far ahead," I told him "He hasn't even kissed me yet."
"It's good to plan ahead. You never know when you'll need a china pattern."
"You need help Randy."
He danced around again, wiggling his butt. "No I need to take you shopping," he said "Buy you something sexy that will get you laid."
"It's only the second date!" I yelled.
"Yeah and you're sexually frustrated."
I threw another pillow at him and he danced out of the way.
I sighed, then said "Fine, we'll go shopping, but I refuse to dress like a baby prostitute."
"Okay" he said, still dancing.
I have the world's strangest brother...
And I have a second date with Evan tonight...
AND I'M NOT SEXUALLY FRUSTRATED!
I know Dear John isn't in the theaters anymore, but it was the first movie that popped into my head.
Avary and Evan are going on date number 2!
Wooo!
Review!
