I THOUGHT I WAS IN 'EUROPE'
On a normal day, I would go to an eatery, eat my food, wipe my mouth, and leave like nothing happened but that day was different. It was my first time at the eatery and because I was bored, I sat there and watched the football playing on the TV.
Several minutes later, this beautiful lady walked up to me and asked if she could share my table. I nodded and she sat down. She ordered a bottle of water and kept looking around as if she was waiting for someone. Her beauty caught my attention. "Are you waiting for someone?" I asked.
She shook her head and asked me the same question. We plunged into a happy conversation. I told her my name and she also told me her name. "If you're bored I can keep you company. I have nothing to do," she said.
It felt like I'd won the lottery. I bought her drinks. She asked for food and I bought it for her. When it was late, I asked for her number and she told me, "If you don't mind I can follow you home. Do you live far from here?"
I got scared a little. You meet a lady a few hours ago and she agrees to follow you? But her interaction around the eatery convinced me that she was someone everyone knew. "If anything, I know where to find her," I told myself.
We hopped into a taxi, got home, freshened up, and went to bed. She said, "You haven't told me anything ooo. We haven't agreed on price."
"Price?"
"Yeah, we have to agree before anything can happen but before that, I want to know, are you taking me for short, or is it all night?"
That's when it occurred to me the kind of woman I had taken home. I dressed up and asked her to leave. She told me, "OK, you bought me food and drinks. I can give you a discount. You don't have to be angry." I screamed, "Just get out. Do you think if I knew you were a pr******te, I would have brought you home?" She responded, "So in your mind, a woman can follow you home just like I did and not be a pr******te?"
She demanded I pay her fair back home. I reluctantly did.
