"So... Tell me, Kian... Why me?... Of all the girls, why me?"

"Well... To be honest, I didn't have that much luck in my dating life over the past few months, so maybe you would be the one who would break my curse" he winks at me. Cocky, but not over the top.

"What about you, Annabelle? Why me?"

Pf... If I were to give you the real reason why I want to date you, we might as well call it a night, because you might never want to see me again...

"Umm... I... I just never had any luck with dating for the last few months either, you know..."

He looks at me with that look like he understands what I am saying... Or it just in my head and he wants to leave and leave me here alone because let me be honest... That is my fucking life.

"One day... One day we will find someone..."

"Well, I hope that day comes around soon!" I add, causing him to chuckle, I chuckle along with him as I know that I am doing something right... He is enjoying himself.

Not long passes before the waiter comes with the food we ordered.

"Oh, God..." I can hear him say under his breath, getting ready to get the first taste if his food.

I chuckle at him as I genuinely think that it is actually cute what he did.

"What are you laughing at..."

"Nothing..." I quickly straighten my face, slowly it becomes harder as I let one side of my mouth rise, just a bit, before I look down at my plate and begin to eat my food.

Let's say... Half an hour pass, maybe even forty-five minutes, of us, talking over our food before I excuse myself due to the of nature, and I can tell it was urgent by how my stomach rumbled as I can feel the pain slowly intensifying in my abdominal region.

So I go to to the restroom, I do my job, wash my hands, dry them and finally exit.

I walk back and I suddenly stumble upon... I swear it was like a movie scene from some drama film... I come across my date... Cheating on me with... WITH a fucking waitress.

I saw him look at me and he froze, in almost the same time, that waitress that was on his lap, she looks up at me and gives me an evil grin.

I felt betrayed... But oddly I was not really that hurt... Because I fucking knew it! I knew that something like that would happen because nothing in life is perfect... Nothing in life can be earned without a fight...

And no, I did not fight the waitress, I just stormed out restraint, picked up my phone, looked through my contacts, finding my mother.

But before I could even dial her, Kian takes my phone off my as he begins to speak.

"I am so sorry... Believe me, I am so sorry, she... She is my ex, she can not get over me, but I am over her, just please, listen to me out..."

"Okay, but why did you kiss her back... If she is your ex, why?... You could have just pulled away from her..."

"I... I didn't know how..."

"W... What do you mean you didn't know how!?..."

"It is a downside to me... Whenever someone I loved shows me affection, I instantly fall back for them, I fall for them because I feel a sudden rise in hope in me, a hope that they might still be in love with me... I am sorry..."

As much as I felt frustrated, it... It made sense, to me it made sense.

I look at him, eye to eye...

"You go then... Thank you for the food tho..."

I try and make this as light-hearted as I possibly could, but my emotions just cannot hide...

"And I believe you have something that belongs to me..." I tell him pointing at my phone in his left hand.

"Oh right..."

After handing me over my phone, he offers me a ride home, but the way he said it made it sound like if you said no, you would be the worst person alive.

SSomealso being that girl who cannot say no... I'd feel horrible!... So I said yes, yes why not.

That, I realise, was a mistake when I saw his ex walking over towards us (the waitress).

"I hope you won't mind, but my ex also kinda needs a ride." I could not BELIEVE what he just said... I being his date... And his EX sitting within a... Let's say... 2-meter radius is a VERY BIG NO NO NO for me. But AGAIN... me being THAT GIRL WHO WILL FEEL BAD BY SAYING A NO, said "okay... Sure...", so we all enter the car, Kian starts it up and I can instantly see his Ex moving closer to him, whispering something into his ear as I could see her hand on his thigh... Stroking it...

Not only was this a bad date, but it has also turned into a VERY AWKWARD date and a very awkward first encounter if his ex. But I just prayed to get home before they don't swallow themselves and fuck the life out of them.

Kian managed to get me home before anything serious happened, I felt reluctant!

So yeah... That date thereabouts sums up my dating life, basically, that was my dating life in a nutshell.

And from that horrible day, we come onto today!... 5 years later...
