A phone call. That is how it all started. A few words were spoken and then the butterflies started to creep into my stomach and move into my mouth. After agreeing to a date later on that day, the hours of preparation, I realized, had just started. After doing my hair, make-up, and trying on every outfit I had in my closet, I was finally ready. Trying to calm my nerves, I paced around down stairs and anxiously watched the clock. The doorbell gave my stomach another lurch and caught me completely off guard. I tried to walk slowly so the boy couldn’t tell that I was just sitting here waiting for the door bell to ring. As I opened the door, the smell and feel of the summer night hit me and I could feel the butterflies start back up. He escorted me to the passenger side of his car and opened the door for me. Around to the other side he went and then we were on our way. Our first part of the date was having dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, Bugaboo. We sat and enjoyed the casual talk that followed the waitresses’ questions. As soon as dinner ended, we were off again to see a movie. Five minutes into the movie, I could feel my colon starting to sere with pain. I tried to act as if nothing was wrong and popped my pills as if they were mints. However after 2 minutes of sitting there in pain, I knew that this was going to have to be the end of the date.
That's all for now!
