The Date
Hazel glanced at Rina with pleading eyes; she didn't want to talk to this guy. Is that too much to ask?
"Pick. The. Call" Rina threatened.
Hazel exhaled and connected the line….
Goodness
Gracious
Gosh
Those pictures did no justice to this man. He is drop-dead gorgeous…
"Did I…startle you?" He asked in worry
"N..no"
Words Hazel, no stammering
"I wasn't expecting you to call."
Jason smiled.
Hazel felt her heart skip a beat, just watching this man smile. This man could easily fit as a model or some multimillionaire or some mafia boss….
"So I did shock you," he said, staring into her eyes with seriousness.
Another butterfly. Can this man stop being an absolute charmer? He could make any woman drool with just a smile…
More reasons why he could easily fit as a player.
"It's nothing really," Hazel replied with a nervous smile.
Goodness, never in a billion years did she think for a second that he would make her this nervous…
Never…
"So, what are you up to?" He asked casually. He was preparing to sleep. He was lying down on his bed, one of his arms underneath his head.
And that curly hair…
Goodness!
"I'm…just sitting around on my couch. Doing nothing"
Rina walks in on Hazel's red dress, posing like she was some hot model.
"And watching my ex-roommate being a weirdo right now," Hazel said with her eyebrows arched
"You'll look amazing in this trust me" Rina pointed out.
"Of course" Hazel rolled her eyes
"You're with a friend?" Jason asked in interest
"Yeah. Say hi to Rina"
Rina waves to the camera.
"Nice meeting you Jason" Rina smiled
"Same here"
"So…" Hazel started
"I guess I'll see you tomorrow? Just wanted to check up on you."
"Leaving so soon?"
Jason chuckled.
"I don't want to keep you up all night now, would I? And I want us to have enough things to talk about tomorrow."
How sweet.
And those lips
Snap out of it Zel! You're checking out a total stranger! Goodness!
"Thank you" she smiled.
"Alright. Good night " Jason winked
"We're flirting now uh?" Hazel teased
"Hey, worth the try"
Hazel laughed.
"Good night Jason"
"Good night"
Hazel disconnected the call; Rina did that weird thing with eyebrows. It made them seem like some kind of eyebrow dance or something…
"He's not bad"
"Are you kidding? He's gorgeous!"
"Who?" Greg asked walking into the apartment with bags of goodies
"The pizza guy is waiting outside, " he adds.
Hazel hurries out to get her delivery. She smiled at the delivery guy as she handed him some money.
"Thank you," she said.
"I was asked to give you this " the man hands her a bouquet and a card.
Hazel stared at these things in confusion
"Who…"
Before she could complete her question, the delivery guy drove off on his bike…
Hazel flipped open the card in curiosity.
I saw this earlier tonight and I thought
of you.
Can't wait to see you tomorrow
Love
J
Jason? Did he send this?
The flowers were lovely and smelled so nice…
How did he get her address?
With a confused look on her face, she made her way back to her apartment.
She glanced around for Greg and Rina but they were nowhere in sight.
Those two are probably making out somewhere in her room.
Those two….
"You shouldn't have done that Rina really" Greg scolded as they made their way out of her room.
Or..she was wrong this time; they were doing the opposite
"What's wrong?" Hazel asked
She hated it when these two fought, its a real pain to see them argue or disagree on anything
"She set you up on a blind date" Greg offered
"And Zel is okay with it" Rina pointed out
"She wouldn't want to tell you what you did was wrong now would she?"
Excuse me, I can tell you you're wrong to your face. I have no problem doing that.
"We've seen this guy and he's harmless Greg. Really" Rina adds
"Where did those come from?" Greg asked staring at the lovely bouquet
"Jason…he sent me these," Hazel said, still in shock.
"Who's Jason?"
"The guy she's going on a date with tomorrow evening"
Greg wasn't sure he heard right.
"You have a date?"
Hazel shrugs
"There's no way I'm going to let you go out on a date with some random dude. He could be dangerous!" Greg pointed out
"The site I registered on her own does a background check on every one of its clients so she's safe okay?" Rina walks toward the paper bag in excitement.
Ice cream freak
"Zel. "
"I love the flowers" Hazel offered
Greg shook his head in disbelief; this can't be happening.
"Just beep me if he tries to even stare at you" Greg instructed
"Of course. They would be staring at the ceiling all through the date" Rina said in sarcasm
"I'll be fine Greg. You have nothing to worry about" Hazel assured
"So… what movie are we screening tonight?"
Rina was oilseed and she was trying her best to stay neutral. She was only trying to help and Greg was making it seem like she was sending Zel to some war zone.
"You two settle your fights first, then we watch a movie" Hazel walked into her room and locked the door.
For ten minutes straight, she heard the duo talking and arguing at some point. And soon a subtle moan.
Imagine this duo.
In her living room.
Hazel made a ruckus while trying to open her door; this madness has to stop. If they need a moment, they can as well take it to their apartment.
"Zel" Rina whined
"What movie are we watching then?" Hazel asked, biting into her pizza with a childish look on her face.
"You just had to come in now?" Greg asked with a glare
"Horror movie it is then"
Hazel found her way to the sofa.
The next thing she heard was the locks of her bedroom door.
"What the?"
Hazel exhaled in defeat.
Those two will never change….
