She was the cutest being I had ever seen. Her eyes glittered like diamonds, her hair looked like silk and her body rocked in the red dress she wore. My heart paused for a bit when I saw her; I couldn’t imagine how one person could be that attractive. 

I forgot the reason I had gone for the wedding and concentrated on a way to talk to the lady. I started collecting all the pick-up lines my brain could gather, but all of them seemed cheesy. I started sweating and luckily when it was time to eat, she didn’t get up. 

I love food so much but this time I gave it a break and went to talk to her. Being the gentleman I was dressed like, I asked her if I could get her food or a drink. She rejected my offer with a smile and thanked me. 

That was all I needed. Everyone around her was in the buffet line so I sat next to her and we started a conversation. She turned out to be a very open and nice person. I fell in love. 

I got her number and we took the conversation to WhatsApp all night. That night I didn’t sleep because of the excitement I had. I fantasised about her and even called my very good friend telling him I had finally found ‘the one’. Meanwhile, I was also preparing a break-up speech for the girl I was currently dating. 

The next day we decided to do lunch. I couldn’t stop thinking about it and rushed from work to get there so that I could be on time. 

When the lady came, I couldn’t believe she was the one. Her skin was rough; without the much make up she looked like a man. The nice dress she wore at the wedding had given her curves but without it, it was a disaster to say the least. She wore jeans that were supposed to be tight but instead looked baggy. 

I immediately wanted to change restaurants because she wasn’t worth the bill at that place. You will not believe how fast I went through that lunch, just to get away. I promised to call her later but I’d be lying if I said I still have her number. Call me mean – at least I’m honest!
