My Best Date Ever
All this Valentines Day talk got me thinking about my past dating experience. Although I never have really had any real bad dates, I have had one school date that seemed as if it was just awful, but ended up being one of my best dates ever. The whole thing started when my friend Jill asked me to take our friend Rachael to our high school prom. To me this was not a big deal because I wasn’t dating anyone at the time, and she was a fun girl. The main reason Jill asked me to ask her was because she really liked this other guy and was going to wait for him to ask her. This guy apparently wanted nothing to do with her, so Jill thought I should ask her so she wouldn’t get left without a date. So I asked her.
The time for Prom came, and I got all decked out. I was able to get us a new Mercedes SLK with a super charged engine. I was rolling in style. I picked her up and we took pictures and things went pretty well. Then we got to the prom took pictures, had a nice dinner, and then dancing started. Rachael completely diapered. She ended up following the love of her life around the prom the whole time. I was disappointed and all her friends were mad at her, but who am I to stop love. At least what she thought was love. So I just hung out with other friends and didn’t let it ruin my time.
The last dance came, and Rachael walked over to me. “At least I am going to get the last dance,” I thought to myself. I was wrong. She walked up to me and asked if I knew where the guy she liked was. I was in shock, and just shook my head. This is not the kind of girl that Rachael was, but unfortunately love had drove her off the deep end.
Almost as soon as the dance was done she wanted to go back home, so I drove her back and dropped her off at 1. I sat in her driveway for a minute, and put the top down. I watched the top go down and I realized that I was still with my date. And I had two hours before I needed to have her home. I put the keys in and turned, the engine purred. I put the car in first, revved the engine, and drove off into the night with my best date ever.
