Vinzi's Life: making it happen.

Tuesday, February 14, 2006

“We should meet up after work.” She says matter-of-factly. I met up with Bianca for lunch without prior notice. I had a great time with her last week but as always, the cocky bastard in me wouldn’t permit making the first move. She called me a couple of hours ago at work stating that we’re having lunch, it was a pleasant surprise and I was amused by her straight-forwardness.

“I can’t tonight.” I explained, “I promised a friend of mine that I’ll accompany her in a debut she will be attending.” Was that a cringe I noticed when I said I can’t? Interesting.

“Oh with your girlfriend of course,” she grinned.

Aha! The inevitable topic: relationships. I smiled warmly at her, “No, I don’t have a girlfriend; I’ve been single for quite a while. I’m just accompanying my friend in her cousin’s debut, that’s all.”

“How old are you?” she asks suddenly.

“Twenty two in a few months.” I say with a twist of tease, “How about you? Age? Status?”

“Single and twenty three,” she answers laughing, “You don’t seem like twenty two.”

“You mean I look ol-der?” I asked.

She places her hand on my forearm (hmm… interesting), “No, I mean you’re quite mature for your age.” (If you only knew what I’m thinking right now sweetie *chuckles*)

I lean back from my chair for added effect and scratch the back of my head and say, “Erm, I’ll take that as a compliment then.”

She slaps my hand playfully, (interesting, really interesting) and she retorted with humor. The chat went on with its usual ease for about several more minutes until we had to get back to work.

“I had a great time,” I say as we stood having paid our bills, “how about spending a day with me this Saturday?”

“Why not?” she agreed delighted. To which I replied we’d be meeting up at this particular place at around 10am. She raised one of her eyebrows after I mentioned the time and I assured her that I had something in mind hence, the time. I also told her to wear something comfortable and casual.

“All right Les surprise me and amuse me.”

“I will.”
