My Twelve Random Dates

Day twelve, part two

He sat down and didn't say a word, while I continued eating my food. I diverted to taking snacks and as I stuffed burger into my mouth, he only rubbed his palms together. After a while, he stopped looking at me and started staring at the ceiling.

Inner thought :🙄🙄Yep I know what he is doing, it's deja vu all over again.

I fought the urge to look up, and forced my eye to stare at the plate in front of me. He kept looking up like there was something there. Finally I gave in to the temptation and slowly lifted my head and stared at the ceiling.

Inner thought :😒😒😒thought you were stronger than this

I was expecting to see another wall gecko, just like I did the last time. And it was there, with it's spotted skin staring at God knows what. Why was everyone staring all of a sudden? the couple I'm front of our table, the two ladies beside them, the waiters.

Inner thought: Just get up and walk, they might be crazy 😳😳

I decided to follow David's eyes again, they were no longer staring at the wall but at something else. I turned my chair to face whatever it was.

Then I saw letters on a group of people, who were on the upper side of the building, that spelt

"I, I, UH, UHM, AM SO SORRY "

Inner thoughts :🙄🙄🙄it's so damn cliche, is this supposed to change anything?

I turned my seat and continued eating,it didn't help his case at all. I'm supposed to accept his apology after what he did.

He tried speaking but I wasn't interested, I chose that time to be when I'd visit the rest room. When I came back, he was still there.

I ignored him and continued eating, even though my tummy was screaming to me to stop.

After so many failed attempts to start up a conversation he dug his hand in his pocket, brought out a stock of cigarette and a lighter and lit the cigarette.

My eyes went wide and my jaw dropped, what was he trying to do annoy me?

"Amaka if you won't hear me out, I'll smoke this right here, you're already making me tensed and I'd hate to ruin our effort of making me stay clean"

Inner thought :😳😳😳👀👀👀Is this a threat?

Me: how is he claiming to be clean, the lady was smoking and he was in that room with her

Inner thought : we never saw him do anything, we just heard his voice. 🤔

Me: Why are you taking his side? You were there you saw everything, you even wanted to break his face few minutes ago.

I made sure to have an audible conversation with my inner thought, so David could hear everything. His facial expression was blank, he probably felt guilty.

Inner thought : just try and hear him out, before they throw him out, you're not supposed to smoke here. Besides he looks genuinely sorry. 😏😏

Me:They can throw him out I don't care, he's not supposed to be my date

Inner thought :😌😌if he goes out, you're washing plates haven't you thought of it, your date is nowhere to be found. He bailed on you!!

Me: I'd rather wash my plates than listen to what he has to say, I am beyond disappointed. He stops talking to me for no reason, stops taking my calls, replying my texts. Then the day I visit him to find out why, he's preoccupied with his sex teacher.
