Happy Birthday to Me, Pt. 2
I thought I was going to be hanging out with the deacon staff, but when I got to the restaurant, Deacon Cole met me there and introduced me to his daughter, Lisa. The girl was fine. I stared at her for a few minutes. I thought to myself, “Why didn’t I dress better?”Deacon Cole said, “We had a change of plans. I asked my daughter to take our place. I think you will enjoy her company more than you would hanging out with a bunch of old men.” He walked off with a smile.
Dinner with Lisa was fabulous. The girl is smart as well as fine. The conversation was off the chain. We talked about politics, sports, fashion, education, and a whole lot more. I wanted to drop on one knee and propose by the end of dinner. She has the cutest laugh, too.
We went to the movies after dinner. We just watched the movie. She picked it out. It was some kind of documentary or something. I didn’t like it. I spent most of the movie looking at her.
I drove her home after the movie. I walked her to her front door. I wanted to kiss her, but I was scared that Deacon Cole would walk out on the porch and shoot me. I almost fell out when she kissed me on the jaw.
This was a great birthday!
