The atmosphere was a bit tensed and being a shape guy, the gentlemen figured that Jennifer was nervous so he had to act fast to ease the tension. “You did really great back there I must confuse, I had to Google you to know more about you but unfortunately, Google couldn’t help me with your number or any vital information about you so I had to automatically assume the position of a stalker” he playfully said and Jennifer smiled faintly. To be honest, that was the first time in a long while that someone had made her smile from the depths of her heart. She kept blushing afterwards.
In order not to look boring, Jennifer had to also contribute to the discussion her and the gentleman were having. “Do you have a name? Because I’d like to know your name” she said with a smile on her face, “Oh, my bad! My name is Kaycee” he happily replied. Jennifer was excited to have met someone new but never allowed it to show in her expression. She had learnt not to invest her emotions in a place it isn’t needed; not after what Kendrick did to her.
“Nice to meet you Kaycee but I was actually on my way home, so I better be going now” Jennifer said as she took several steps out of the door. Unable to watch her leave just like that without getting her number at least, Kaycee followed her outside. “You know there’s no way I’m letting you slip right through my fingers without at least getting your number” he said.
The manner at which Kaycee was coming for Jennifer made her a bit happy but still careful. Deep down, she knew she didn’t want to lose him either so after much persistence, she finally released her number to him. He thanked her afterwards and requested to drop her off but apparently, she came with her own car too. They bid each other ‘Goodbye’ and parted ways.
As Jennifer drove home, she could feel the butterflies dancing in her stomach. “No this is just too good to be true, who’s that handsome gentleman?” she asked herself in excitement but couldn’t give herself any suitable reply. All Jennifer could actually do was hope for the best between herself and him.
Days passed and Jennifer waited for a phone call from Kaycee but non was forth coming. She didn’t have his number so he was the only one that could do the communication. After over one week, there was an unknown phone call one beautiful afternoon and it was the long awaited phone call that Jennifer had been waiting for. “Hello” she greeted, “Hi, it’s Kaycee” the caller said. On hearing his name, she took a deep breath and relaxed properly to talk to him. “Did you fall off the surface of the earth or something?” Jennifer joking inquired and Kaycee laughed. He explained to her that he had to travel out of the country shortly after they met and that was why he wasn’t able to call earlier.
Being an understanding person, Jennifer swept everything under the rug and they talked further. “Where are you going to be tonight?” Kaycee curiously asked, “I’ll be home of course” she replied, “How about I take you out tonight, are you gamed?” he asked and she chuckled.
Jennifer really wanted to jump at the offer but had to play tough a bit. “I don’t think that will be possible because I have work tomorrow and have to sleep” she politely said but Kaycee was determined to change her mind. “I promise we wouldn’t stay out too late, just have dinner with me” he said.
If there was one thing Jennifer figured Kaycee was very good at, it was the fact that he knew what to say at every given time. Her defences were broken and she agreed to go on the date with him.
Immediately after work that day, Jennifer hurried home to prepare for her date with the one man she had been thinking about the past week. She selected a beautiful dress and ironed it well. The time scheduled for the date came and Jennifer drove down to the location Kaycee gave to her. It was a nice restaurant in the heart of town. When she arrived at the venue, he wasn’t there yet so she had to keep herself busy by ordering a drink as she waited for him.
To be honest, Jennifer felt a bit annoyed that Kaycee hadn’t showed up yet; after he was even the one that picked the time and place. It wasn’t a good first impression at all but she still behaved maturely and waited a few minutes more before finally calling him to know why he hadn’t showed up yet. The phone rang twice before Kaycee picked up; “Oh I’m so sorry, I got caught up in traffic. I’ll be there with you soon” he hurriedly said. Jennifer tried to be understanding and matured so she told him it was OK and that she’ll wait a little longer.
One hour later and Kaycee still hadn’t showed up for their date that should have started an hour ago. Without hesitating, Jennifer angrily paid the bill for the drink she took and stormed out of the restaurant. Just before she walked down to her car, Kaycee drove into the restaurant.
Jennifer was still pissed and didn’t care to act matured anymore because Kaycee had succeeded in ruining her happy mood and running her out of patience. “I guess this is the 6pm you assured to met up with me huh?” she asked with a straight face when he alighted from his car. At that moment, Kaycee knew he had messed up and needed to apologise as soon as possible. “I’m so sorry dear, I was caught up with lots of activities and then the hold-up on my way here made things even more difficult for me. I promise to make it up to you however you want” he calmly said.
There and then, thoughts of doubts concerning Kaycee started going back and forth on Jennifer’s mind. Even though he had explain why things turned out that way, she still felt his actions spoke volume of the kind of person he actually was.
Due to the fact that Jennifer was just getting to know Kaycee, she didn’t want to make conclusions too soon. His apologies were accepted but the date was definitely cancelled because there was no way she was going to go back to the restaurant she had been sitting idle in for two good hours. Having communicated to Kaycee that the date was unfortunately not going to hold, he understood perfectly fine and walked her to her car; of which she drove off afterwards.
A day that was supposed to be a happy one for Jennifer, turned out to be a disaster. Due to what happened back at the restaurant, she started having double mind concerning Kaycee. “Like what sort of man leaves a lady hanging on their first date he initiated, except he’s a two faced liar or womaniser” she thought to herself as she drove home that night. Kaycee called before she retired to bed to say ‘Goodnight’ but that didn’t change anything at all.
Life soon moved on and they hadn’t met each other since the first date saga. Just so you know, Kaycee had been trying all he could to reschedule another date but Jennifer was proving very hard this time around. She didn’t want to deliberately set herself up for heart break so she was being extra careful. After several refusals, she finally accepted to go on another date with him. This time around, Kaycee was 20 minutes early and already seated waiting for Jennifer to show up. She finally did and they had a nice time together.
