A Dating Story
All of my friends know that I LOVE to hear stories about what’s happening in their lives, in particular, dating stories. They immediately call me to tell me the craziest things they encounter while on dates and I’ve decided to start sharing them with you. Sorry, none of my own stories, I’m just enjoying myself for the moment. ~rolls eyes~
Ofcourse, I’m changing their real names to protect their identity but you’ll get all the juciy details as told to me.
My friend “Zariah” called me last week to tell me this story.
She was getting dressed in her bedroom when her cell phone rings. It’s Evan, her old flame.
She had been seeing Evan for several years and during most of those years she was the other woman, playing the sidekick to his girlfriend. Evan broke up with his girl about 6 months ago but during that time Zariah also had almost completely stopped seeing him because she realized that she deserved more.
Evan asks her to meet up with him and Zariah tells him that she has a date for the night. “We’re going to the movies.” Zariah tells him. “Cancel your date,” Evan tells her, “You’re going out with me.”
Zariah sighs and smiles to herself. “Whatever. I gotta go.” She hangs up.
Her date Henry comes to pick her up. Henry is a guy that has been drooling over her for almost a year but she had continuously told him she had a boyfriend, to which he responded, “I don’t care. I just want some of your time.”
Zariah didn’t really have a boyfriend, but she wasn’t attracted to this guy although he was really nice. He was also loaded with money and had offered to pay her car note, all of her bills and give her spending cash whenever she needed it, if she would give him some of her time.
Zariah didn’t accept any of it. She didn’t like the guy at all. But she began to wonder why she couldn’t like the guys who liked her, so she decided to give him a chance.
They arrive at the theatre and they’re watching the movie when Zariah receives a phone call. It’s Evan.
“I see you. I’m here at the movies. Come out right now and leave that nicca sitting there.”
“Where are you? I don’t see you.”
“I see you Zariah. You’re wearing black and white.”
“Bye Evan, I’ll call you later.”
She hangs up.
Henry looks over and whispers, “Was that your man?”
Zariah’s smiles gets bigger. The perfect excuse. She doesn’t really have a man but it seems as if Evan’s annoyance could validate her lie.
“Yeah, he’s trippin.”
“Hey, let me get you home before you get into trouble.”
Evan is ringing her cell phone off the hook but she won’t answer. She’s feeling all giddy inside because now Evan is feeling the way she felt all that time when she was playing the sidekick.
They leave the theatre and arrive in front of her house in no time. She sees Evan’s car parked across the street under a tree.
Henry spots the car and sees that someone is in the drivers seat. “I knew your man would be waiting for you when we got here. But hey, let’s do this again sometime.”
“Yeah, let’s try again,” Zariah mutters and steps out of the car, relieved to be away from Henry. She just couldn’t force herself to like him, no matter how much he promised to do for her.
Henry pulls away and Zariah wonders what her next move will be. She smiles as she remembers all the hot nights she and Evan had shared in that car parked right under that tree. She had been so in love with him. She thought she was over him. She was almost sure she was.
She walks over to his car and she hears his doors unlock automatically. She steps in and sits down crossing her arms.
“So, you gonna just jump out of that fat boy car and just come sit in mine?”
She looks and him and doesn’t respond.
He looks at her as if he’s pissed. He’s so used to getting his way with her he can’t believe she was with someone else. The frown on his face dissappers as he eyes her miniskirt and flirty sandals.
“Damn girl, I missed you. Come here.” he asks. She sits stiffly until she can feel the warmth of his hands pulling her close.
She resists for as long as she can, but old habits are hard to kill.
A few days later as she’s on her way home from class her phone rings and it is Henry.
“Hey I want to see you.”
“Sorry, I’m tired. I worked all day and I just got out of class. I need to go rest.”
“Pleassse! I have something to tell you. It’s important. Just meet me at KFC down the street from your house. I’ll buy you some dinner and we can talk.”
“Okay.”
She meets him at KFC and sits in his car. He doesn’t want to go in. He just wants to talk.
“Look Zariah. I’m in love with you.”
Her eyes get wide as she gives him a weird look.
“Yes, I am. I will do ANYTHING to have you. Please give me a chance.”
“You don’t even know me. You can’t love me, you’re crazy.”
“No, I’m not I just know what I want. And I want you. Look, I have $500 in my pocket right now. If you tongue kiss me I’ll give it to you.”
“What?! hello no!”
“Please? Ok, look, if you give me a pop kiss I’ll give you $50, right now.”
She rolls her eyes and remembers a pair of jeans she saw at the mall last week. “Does this make me a hoe? Shit, I’m gonna get this money!” She thinks to herself.
She pop kisses him on the lips and collects her money and gets out of the car.
“Later.” she tells him and drives away.
