The Young One – Part 2

So when we left our heroine (that’s me btw) she had just left her new young friend in the street after a marathon snogging session. The Young One and I had gone our separate ways and I really didn’t think I would hear from him again. I mean, what could I possibly have in common with someone 7 years younger than me? He is the same age as my little sister for god sake! So I was really surprised when I got a call two days after our first meeting.

It was around 10:30 on a Friday night and I was elbows deep in an accounting assignment when the phone rang. I didn’t recognize the voice on the phone until he said “hey, it’s the Young One”. I won’t lie… at that moment a jolt of excitement ran through my body because here was a man (well a boy really) calling as he had promised. That shit never happens to me. I usually get the, I’ll call you and then weeks go by before I hear anything from the guy in question. Here was someone who had said he would call and he was doing so. The excitement didn’t last…

“So, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out tonight?” said the Young One
“Sure, sounds good. What did you have in mind?” said our heroine
“Well, I’m hanging out with my buddies; smoking some weed and watching 300 if you want to join me” said the Young One
“Wow, well that sounds like a lot of fun but I think I’ll pass since my idea of a fun first date isn’t hanging out with you and your mates smoking pot.” said our heroine
“Oh, cool I guess I’ll talk to you later” said the Young One.
“Ok, Later” said our heroine as she hung up the phone.

Yeah, I know what you are thinking….wow, why did you turn down such a fantastic opportunity of a first date *side eye*

So I went back to working on my accounting assignment and thought oh well it was fun while it lasted. Then about 20 minutes later the phone rang again and it was the Young One.

“Hey, so I really want to see you tonight so I’m coming to pick you up in about 10 minutes” said the Young One
“Ummmm, crap ok…. I’ll try to be ready….what exactly are we doing” stuttered our heroine while running up the stairs.
“I don’t know, I figured we could drive around and figure something out” said Young One.
“Ok, cool. I’ll see you in 10 minutes” said our now breathless heroine.

So the second attempt at a first date went really well. The Young One drove me around the city and showed me places that I didn’t know existed. I love exploring cities and to be able to explore my own backyard by moonlight and star shine was amazing. I thought to myself that there was hope.

Wrong again.
