One Night with Melissa

I met her at a restaurant, I was on a date and she was on a date. Doesn't seem to likely does it? I know for a fact my date wasn't going well because she had been on her cell phone for at least 15 minutes while we waited on our food. I noticed this girl sitting a table down from us the moment we were seated. She had this wonderful mane of blonde hair with these attentive glowing blue eyes. That first site of her is still etched into my mind and I probably won't ever forget it. My date who was very pretty in her own right finished her phone conversation and started putting on make up. I was starting to get agitated so I excused myself to the rest room. I went in and stood at the mirror for a moment trying to remember exactly how I got stuck in this situation (I always got stuck in those situations). I washed my hands and opened the door. I walked out and turned to get a drink of water from the water fountain when I noticed the girl from across the table was standing right there! Her back was turned to the water fountain and she was digging into her purse. I couldn't believe it, I froze up and a wave of anxiety came over me. The brief episode of nervousness passed and I took a deep breathe and said to myself "I don't even know this girl, it's no big deal." So I wemt to take a drink from the water fountain, but before I continue, have you ever gone to drink from a water fountain and the button is abnormally too sensitive and the water just sprays right in your face? Well, I think this water fountain was designed by fire fighters who turned to plumbing. I pushed down on the button and a enormous blob of water went streaming down my mouth, nose, into my eyes, and down my shirt. For a moment I was almost certain I was going to drown. I coughed and hacked out the water, not being able to see anything I couldn't tell if the lady standing adjacent to me could notice. I wiped out my eyes and could make out laughing and giggling. She saw, and my face was slowly but surely turning blood red. I looked and smiled, hunching over to keep my cold wet shirt from touching my chest. She came over and said "The exact same thing happened to me just a second ago." (probably the greatest sentence ever constructed in the history of the English language) She put her hand on my shoulder and pressed a napkin against my water soaked eyes. "Oh thanks," I said clumsily, still trying to assess this new situation. I was almost completely recovered from the bath I just had when she introduced herself. "Hi, my name is Melissa." It was so incredibly straight forward of her to say that; I was totally caught of guard. I sort of tilted my head and started laughing, and she did too. "Sorry I'm still a little water logged, I'm Adam, it's really nice to meet you." We shoke hands and had a brief 4 second awkward pause. "I seen you when I came in, your with the big guy?" She sort of shuffled her feet after I said that, "Oh you mean Lincoln?" The way she said his name intrigued me so I thought I'd press the subject. "Yeah, who is he, your boyfriend or something?" As soon as the words came out of my mouth she started wildly laughing, "Are you serious? He is the biggest joke I've ever seen, he think he's world's greatest player, he's hopeless!" I couldn't believe what luck I was having! This seemingly miniscule night was turning into maybe a fate driven opportunity. "Oh he does seem a little weird." I was trying to play it off cool, I didn't want to bash a guy I didn't even know. She then looked at me slyly "So whose the little brunette you brought in?" I smiled big and tried to laugh "That unfortunately is my date tonight. My friend asked me to meet his girl friends friend and take her out, so I did, lucky me!" I made sure to pile on the sarcasm so I didn't confuse her. "Oh it doesn't seem like she's a real catch." she said taking a bold step forward towards me. "Ha ha no, I think she'd rather be doing her nails or something right now." She laughed, and I laughed, then we starred. This was one of those moments where everything was riding on the very next thing I said. "Listen..." Her eyes widened as she listened, "I really want to get out of this date, so what do you say if we both cut ours short and go see a movie or something together?" Never in my life could I duplicate that level of smoothness. She pursed her lips and lifted her eyes, to make it look like she was thinking about it (which later I found out all she was doing was stalling) and she smiled big and said "That sounds really fun!" She grabbed my hand and peaked around the corner (this is what I love about her) She turned to me and began explaining her master plan "Ok Lincoln won't be a problem to ditch because we are done eating, and i'll just tell him one of my friends is going to pick me up, what about you?" I was in a pickle because we hadn't even received our food yet, and I hate to say it but I was really hungry. "I'm not sure if I can ditch." She slapped my shoulder "Come on you can be more creative than that!" I started to think hard, but their seemed to be no way at all out of this, "Offer her sex!" she exclaimed. "I'm not going to offer her sex!" I whispered in protest. "If you really want to end this date, you'll offer her sex." I looked at her, and then looked at the floor, she did have a point. "Ok, i'll offer her sex." I couldn't believe I even said that. She smiled and patted me on the shoulder. "Im going to walk back first, then you count to five and you walk back." (She's so corny sometimes, but it's good corny) "Alright lead the way." I said with obvious hesitation. She strutted over to her table and sat down, I watched as she pulled out her phone and exclaimed at the time. She stood up and talked at a mile a minute, Lincoln looked dumb founded and couldn't believe she was cutting the date short. They both walked by my date and towards the door, Then I started my march. Sometimes things just don't seem worth it at the moment they're actually happening, but I look back at it now and I think I would've streaked through that restaurant for her. I sat down smiled and asked her how her food was, which apparently just arrived, she gave me a weak smile and continued eating. I cleared my throat for her attention and grandly moved closer to her over the table, and I started to say "So I was thinking..." she looked up "Listen you seem nice and stuff, but my friends are going to a concert and I'm pretty much obsessed with the bands guitarist so do you mind if I take a rain check?" I embarissingly shot back in my chair "S-Sure no problem, I had other plans anyway." She put on a fake smile "Sure you did, now here's my half of the check and a little extra for tip, i'll see you around." She stood up and walk out of the restaurant. I looked outside through the large plate glass windows in the front and saw Melissa waiting on the side walk. "Waiter, can I get the check?" I said proudly.
I ran outside to met her, it was sprinkling but the moon was shinning bright through the clouds. "Did you offer her sex?" she prodded, "Actually she offered me sex, and I had to turn her down." I said jokingly, "You are such a liar!" she said giving me a little shove.
I took her to a movie and then afterwards we ate fast food. We talked about music, our favorite actors, our families, where we went to school. This was the best date I had ever been on, and I met that her on the very same day. That's how I met and found true love, through just a wacky evening where neither one of were content with where we were at the moment. She'd probably kill me posting this story, but hey it makes for a good read!
