Love's Embrace

Calvin sat up again as his wall clock announced 7 pm . He began his walk to the bathroom in a more reluctant way . He was to accompany his best friend , Dennis, on his first date . Although , ,he hated girls , he just had to follow Dennis for backup notwithstanding his hatred for girls , at least to avoid breaking up a from - child hood - friendship . Now out of the bathroom , Calvin applied his deodorant and perfumes , before wearing a black shirt over a blue jeans and a black canvas . He wore his gold wrist watch on his left wrist , bangles on his right wrist and rings on three out of five fingers if his left hand . He picked his fez cap and car key and headed for his Mercedes Benz car , (one of the things that attracted numerous girls to him but they were likely turned down each time . ). " Dee, turn off the lights and lock the doors . " calvin commanded as he walked out of the house. "open the gates . " He added after he got into his car . Living in an ai - controlled - house was one of the various achievements Calvin achieved . Well right now , that was not his thinking. His thought was how he would sit with Dennis on the same table with one of the girls whose request to be his girlfriend he had turned down. What if she wanted to use Dennis to get to him . Well , he had made up his mind not to look up from his phone at the venue of the date . He soon arrived at the only - golden - gate -on -that - street, as directed by Dennis. His horn sent the gate keeper running to slide the gate open for him to drive in . "Hey man !"Dennis greeted as Calvin came down from the car . they shook hands and hugged. "Thanks for coming bro. It means a lot to me ! " Dennis added. " Den.... you know I wouldn't have done this on a normal note . " Calvin said . " I know... that is why we are friends and .... oh.... she is here.!" Dennis added as he led Calvin to where the cab stopped. The cab door opened on both sides and two girls stepped out . Two slams on the different sides of the doors sent the cab away . "Hi Calvin. " Catherine , Dennis ' date greeted , smiling at Calvin. 'why would she be greeting me first when her boy friend is right in front of her ." Calvin thought as he nodded to the 'hi Calvin' in a way of response. 'this is more like a marriage where families are needed to do to be there for the couples. I just hope Dennis is not matchmaking me with Catherine's younger sister " Calvin thought more . " come on guys! let's get in and enjoy ourselves ." Dennis announced as they began their walk into the eatery. Catherine walked beside Dennis and Kate , Catherine's younger sister walked with Calvin.
