a date to remember

one bad date can ruin ur entire  dating reputation...well i learnt this from my friend nick. from a dating must he turned into a dating no no.. nick has always been popular with girls.. with his cherubic face and charming ways he was always a girl magnet. being friends with him we saw a string of girls sigh for him everytime he passed them. well in spite of being so popular he never really went for dates as according to him he was too shy and was waiting for the right one. well the right one did come ...and disaster followed suit.

anne was a senior to him. when she started being all friendly with him we realised that nickboy has hit a jackjpot. dating a senior is always great ego booster and reputation builder. eliot said that april is the cruelest month..but for nick the undoing came in the innocent month of september. finally he asked anne out. it was a grand affair. he got all ready and everything and took her to a fancy hang out place.. and then disaster struck.

nick always had a soft spot for chicken..he can hog on for hours. well the date was no different. he ordered every kind of chicken dish available. the problem was that anne was also an avid chicken eater. so the moment the chicken came there was almost a marathon like race about who could eat more chicken. but our friend nick with years of practice finished his plate first. anne was savouring hers bit by bit...nick started drooling looking at that and then he did the unthinkable. in a swift second  of weakness he stretched out his hand...anne thought he was going 2 clear out some spot on her face...but slowly the hand moved away from her face and towards her plate and ..he grabbed the piece of chicken and in one swift motion stuffed his mouth with it. anne was too shocked to react.  she just sat there petrified not being able to believe that behind that angelic face lay a psycho glutton who snatched food from ur plate. taking advantage of her stupor, he said looking at her plate " are you going to eat that?" and before she could answer he took the plate from her side and started eating out of it...

i guess the date ended then only unofficially. but still the bill paying was left. the waiter came with the check. anne said that she would love to share the bill but nick was insistent that he pays the bill as he had eaten most of the stuff from both their plates. well she let him. i guess she was already tired of him and wanted 2 get this over with as fast as possible. then came the second shock...

nick opened his wallet and there was no money. he suddenly remembered that he had left it at the bed side table. he started signaling to anne..at first she couldnt understand what was the meaning of the profuse winking and weird hand gestures...finally nick drew his chair close to her and whispered..."i kinda left my cash at home...so can u pay the bill??"...anne couldnt believe it.. not only had she the worst date of the century where she was still hungry, but also now she had 2 pay for it..she gave him the meanest look she could come up with and took out the money and gave it. and walked out.

nick ran after her and said " dont i kiss u good night?"....

a resounding slap ...and nick had never had a date in college again...
