It's only lunchtime and my oh my how
glad am I to get a chance to stretch my legs.
Out of nowhere, he appears,
"Hi," he says.
"Hi," I say.
"Out for a stroll?" he says
"Yes," I say
"Can I take you out for
lunch?" he says
"Yes..." I say...
"No No No!" I think.
That was close...
Make a quick getaway
Quick steps ...quick steps...
Not too fast lest he thinks I be
running away
But running I am, indeed I am!
Far far away.
Phew!
Out of sight, out of mind.
Buzz! Buzz! Message coming in.
I wonder who that may be...
Tap on my phone screen and what do I
see?
...Could it be...is it really?
Sigh,,,it is.
Not 1, not 2 but 3 menu selections!
"Make a pick, let's seal the
deal!" he said
Whoa!Wait. What?
He took it seriously? Did I sound
serious?
Argh!Drats!
Does he know that I am off the
market?
What to do...what to do.
D-r-u-m-d-r-u-m my fingers go.
Oh my! How did I get into this?
Change my picture...nope too
obvious...
Tell him I'm unavailable...far too
obvious and might connote that I suspect his intentions
Or worse still, that I have feelings
for him
Argh! How did I get into this?
Need a way out...desperately need a
way out.
I don't want to go...
Besides the office buys me lunch
anyway.
Boneless chicken, lentils, black
beans, pilau the selection is endless.
Buzz! Buzz!...A picture of food.
He sent me a picture of food...
A thick delicious meaty looking
sandwich with green leafy lettuce and an assortment of fresh vegetables bathed
in some yummy sauces.
Yummm!!Sooo gooooood...
Wait. What am I doing?
"Control yourself! Your will is
stronger," I say
"I need a rejection
strategy," I think.
Not to mean but enough to get the
message out.
Think... think...think
Buzz! Buzz!
"Do you carry lunch?" he
says
It's like the God heard my prayers.
“Yes, YES I DO, " I type...
Wait. A little too emphatic.
Erase. Type again
"Yes, I do." I say
And just like that, I was out of the
woods!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Celebration
Until...
Buzz! Buzz!
