Day 9
It's 2:45pm.
Our date is at 3:00pm.
It is a five-minute walking distance from mom's place. So I don't need a car.
I check my bag one last time. My new phone. My charger. My water bottle. Wet wipes. A pack of pads. A roll of tissue. A pair of sunglasses.
Perfect. I am good to go.
I put on my round green-ish sunglasses, which I bought just the other day.
After all that, I finally lock the door since no one is home. Andrew, who I rarely see, is obviously at work. I don't know what my mom is upto but she's been looking extremely good lately and happy. Very happy. I am sure Andrew makes her more than happy. And to top it all off, she checks her diet and eats very healthily. I saw her in a gym attire today, which means she's obviously working out.
Honestly, in my late forties, I want to look as young

"Ramon Darke. Who am I speaking to?"Just the sound of his deep voice makes me boil in anger."How dare you!" I snap."Camilla Clarkson?" Ramon calls in surprise. "I wasn't expecting your call this soon.""Are you happy now?" I snort. "Riana is not speaking to me because of you!"So this is what happened...Riana and Ramon went on a morning date today. The stupid guy told Riana the whole truth. That I told him that she has a massive crush on him and that the whole date was planned by me. Ramon told her that they could never be a thing but they could be friends. Riana was so angry on the phone, angrier than she was about me kissing Ramon. She said I embarrassed and humiliated her by revealing her secret to him. And to even plan a date?This whole date was to mend our friendship but it seems like it made it a whole lot worse.
