well Cafe would be the only right word for it. Put that together with the dating thing, and you have all the ingredients for another close to embarrasing experience.
(note : it was not in THE cafe. You have to be really something before I invite you over there).
So I was standing in front of the Starbucks, waiting for him. And I was way too early.
I texted him.
“I’m here already. Much earlier than planned. Are you far ?”
I went into the Starbucks, and fished my book out of my bag. A cup of tea with milk. I started reading.
“I am 5 minutes away” my mobile phone blinked on the table a few minutes later.
“No need to rush!” I fiddled back on the ridiculous small keyboard of my phone. I will never ever be a Text message champion.
I read on in my book.
A few minutes later my phone rang.
I was sitting close to the entrance and could see everybody come in. A strategic place to be, as I didn’t knew more of him than “jeans and black top. Maybe a blue jacket”. I was “jeans, sneakers, black jacket and messed up hair”.
So my phone rang. And while I picked it up I saw a guy come in, his mobile phone at his ear. I checked : Jeans – yes. Black top – yup. Must be him.
“Hello” I said in my phone.
“Hello” his voice said “Where are you?”
“Well if you turn around you can see me. I am the girl talking in the mobile phone”.
He didn’t turn around.
“I really can’t see you” he said.
“I am quite close to you, just turn around !” I said.
He didn’t turn around.
“I am sitting 2 meters away from you!” I said.
He refused to turn, but still had the mobile phone on his ear.
I was about to stand up, to walk towards him and grab his black top, when the door opened.
A guy came in, his mobile phone at his ear.
Jeans ? Yes. Black top ? Yes.
And the maybe-a-blue-jacket was hanging over his arm.
Maybe the “I’ll carry a red rose” concept isn’t that overrated after all.
:-))
To be continued, I suppose? This wasn’t the whole story after all. I am dead curious ;-)
WHO WAS IT??????
@Zazz – the rest I keep to myself .-)
@Miek – Why ? You don’t know him anyway ! :-)
This is better than “Lost”….
This was like something out of a movie. And if it isn’t they should make one just like it!
This was coming out of the upcoming movie “The girl’s pathetic life in London” :-)
Now Ingrid… that is no way to talk about the girl and her adventurous life in the heart of London. You know that every movie works up to a climax… Imagine, all of this and a climax too!!!
