The Story of my Life

"If I could wish for my life to be perfect,
it would be tempting, but I would have to decline,
for life would no longer teach me anything..."

free lunch

Posted by Claire |

There is such a thing as free lunch.

My classmates and I had a boring class last saturday. We haven't had lunch together for 3 weeks so we all decided to treat ourselves to a nice meal at The Old Spaghetti House.

Chickahan and all...shared stories about our respective dates. And after exhausting all our kwentos, we were still bored and sleepy. So we decided it was time to wrap it up and just head home. We got the bill from the server and we were shocked after being told that.."Ma'am, okay na po ang bill nyo." Somebody paid for our bill!!!

And that did it...the boring lunch, turned out to be an exciting one. Sleepy? None of us were sleepy. Nobody wanted to go home. And because we didn't pay for anything, we decided to have coffee just so we could spend for something. hehehe

So, who is this mysterious guy trying to play tricks on me...As I was told, this guy paid for our bill because I looked familiar to him (yeah right!). Left ONLY his number....there yah go, some tricks men play. I assume he knew that picking up someone in a restaurant, in broad daylight, won't work. And what would be a good way? Pay for their lunch and just leave your number...of course, after a free lunch, it would be rude not to say thank you. So there, I texted him to say thank you...and gave away my number. Hahahaha...

Okay, so just so you know...This guy does not, in any way, look familiar to me.

Anyway, the style was really something...and what made it even more daring is this guy was with his girlfriend at that time! So, while his girlfriend was in the powder room trying to look good for him, this guy was giving instructions to the server and pointing at my direction (yeah, he was. I saw him from my peripheral.hehehe). Meeeennnn!!!!

I'm so amazed, not that I was kilig or anything, but because this is new to me. I've never given my number to a complete stranger. But this guy...left me with no choice. I had to give it to him. But it's all cool. Had a free lunch anyway. hehehe

He tried to call me. But I didn't take the call. I felt that, that would be way to far. I thanked him for the lunch and I think that would be enough. My friends told me I should text back and just play along. Get to know him or something...But I'm sorry....call me boring or whatever you want, but its just not my style. I won't go for it.

Makes me think again...how can some men be such a player? Aren't there decent men left? How do men manage to play around when they're committed....hhhmmm...
