The road to the market was full of buyers this Saturday morning. Delilah was roaming around where she could find Nancy, who invited her to look for a guy. She was wearing a white dress with a red ribbon on her hair. Her small bag contained with alcohol, wallet, lipstick and a pepper spray.
Nancy pushed her to have a little chitchat with the guy whom Delilah met in the social media. Yes, she was chatting a guy who looked different from others. He was kind and good-looking man. Although, she was afraid of what was coming next, she have the courage to see him for once.
Her cellphone rang once and she saw his name on the screen. She looked the place from the google map and find it. She asked a few people where it was and there she were after all. She found it after ten minutes. She ran quickly as she knew that he was waiting for her on time. She wasn't expecting things like this but to turn it into a positive way, she shook her head and stopped in front of the restaurant.
It was full of crowd when Delilah walked in. She roamed her eyes around and she met his eyes. He was wearing a blue polo and white pants paired with a brown shoes. She combed her hair and tried walking confidently to him.
"I'm sorry, Miss." A man's figure went to her sight. They collided accidentally when a waiter was almost push her. He got her waist and smiled genuinely at her.
"I'm okay." She felt embarrassed on what he did in public. She have a thought of him as her lover. The man wearing a blue polo stood up and met another girl. She became annoyed at herself. She was expecting too much on the guy.
She saw his message and there she sat on a reserved table for them. The man was watching her from a far and saw how she was becoming impatient. He ordered a waiter to treat them well and asked for a beef steak. It took almost twenty minutes since she waited for the guys.
The man approached her before she stood up. He noticed how startled she was when she saw him in front.
"May you take your sit, please?" He moved the chair in front of her and asked for her name.
"Why do you want to know? We're totally stranger to each other and I don't put my trust to anyone."
