"What are you busy about tonight?" Ryan messaged me.
"Blind date!" I replied.
Match maker set me up with a guy named Timothy. He is 2 years older than me, divorced with one son.
He showed up 10 mins late. But I don't mind. As I can't be too choosy. He is not bold with no big belly. What's more can I ask. He is just a normal person like me.
We actually had a really nice conversation. He is an auditor. We had a lot of common things to talk about. Before the end of the dinner, he mentioned that he is not planning to have another kid, and he is wondering whether I am ok with it.
I was hesitating. As I do want a kid myself. I got a call from Ryan while thinking. I saw the name on the phone, then pressed refuse. He called again, I hung up again. After several times, I got a bit agitated.
"Sorry, it's my colleague. ' I told Timothy.
"No worries, you can answer it. Maybe it's something urgent."
I picked it up after about ten times. It seems Ryan is drunk.
"Mia, I miss you. I want to see you know!"
"If you are drunk, go home, why you call me?"
"Of course, I call you, I am your nephew. Right? You need to pick me up."
"I am not going to pick you up, find someone else!" I got quite annoyed.
"Then I will tell everyone, you got divorced because of me."
。。。。
"Are you coming or not, I will..." I hung up and said sorry to Timothy.
"Sorry, I got something urgently, I need to leave now."
Timothy smiled and said "No problem, I understand. But It's late, let me drive you to your destination. "Looking at his decisive eyes. I know we are not going to have a second date. He offered to drive me, as he is suspicious. It's almost 11pm, what emergency I am going to have with a colleague.
Ryan is not a disappointment anyway. He is waiting in front of the hotel entrance. He grabbed the car door when I am about the close it.
"So, this is your date?"
Ryan stared at Timothy with playful look.
"Not bad, not bad..." He laid one of his arms on the car door frame and took a thorough look of Timothy again." Just a tad too old..."
"What the hell is wrong with you!" My face turned pale, I even yanked him off the car .
"I am your nephew, nothing wrong with looking out for families, isn't it?"
Timothy smiled and said goodbye politely. We are adults. I think he would have sensed something off now.
Ryan raised his left eyebrow, then lowered his head and talked with Timothy.
"Sorry, don't worry, I am the one who is chasing Sarah. But she declined me all the time."
" Enough!" I stopped him.
He finally stopped.
"Sorry, he is drunk. Thank you for drive me here." I said to Timothy.
Timothy nodded and drove away.
"Are you happy now?" I took a deep breath and spoke.
Ryan looked at me didn't say anything for several seconds. "Why you choose him, why not me?"
" So you think you are good looking, well-paid, young, so every woman should like you!?" I was furious at that time.
"No" He denied with a deep voice.
"I don't know what you want exactly. But I am telling you I am not some young naïve girl who have time to play games with you. Please leave me alone! If you can't, I will submit the quitting letter tomorrow!" I shouted.
The light in his eyes is darkened. After a while, he slowly said. "I see."
