He Said ~ She
Said

Melissa
shivered with excitement as she danced into her
apartment. She had to call Sara, but first, the
night had to be documented in her diary. Her hand
shook as she jotted down the details.

Dear Diary,
I had the best
blind date tonight. I wore Chanel No. 5 and a top
with a plunging neckline. I’m sure Tom was
impressed. He’s so handsome with his bright
smile and dark hair, but I couldn’t see his
eyes. He wore dark glasses. How mysterious!
He didn’t
talk much, so I’d say he’s the quiet
type and a good listener as he hung on my every
word. I allowed him to order for use—sausage
pizza with extra mozzarella. It’s his
favorite.
I’ve
never met such a gentleman. He opened the car
door for me and didn’t try to scam a
goodnight kiss. I will be waiting for his next
call.

As soon as Tom
walked in the door, his friend Jeff followed him.
“So, how’d it go?”
Tom plopped
down on the sofa. “It was horrible! I never
knew a person could talk so much about nothing.
She chattered on so much, she didn’t even
notice a piece of sausage fell from her mouth
into her top. I started to say something but
couldn’t get a word in. It was a boring
night. I left my sunglasses on the entire night,
so she wouldn’t notice me nodding off.
She did let me
choose the pizza toppings, but her perfume so
strong, it was all I could taste.
“So, no
kiss goodnight? Jeff chuckled.
“No! I
pulled up to her apartment and opened the
passenger door, so she’d hurry up and get
out. Tell Sara I’ll find my own dates from
now on.”
Jeff called
Sara to compare notes. After listening to the
Melissa side of the story he asked, “Are you
sure they were on the same date?” They both
laughed.
