Fifty seven

“hey, it's a first date not a wedding ceremony. Stop being nervous” Eliza said and hit me playfully on my shoulder

“what exactly happens on a first date again?” I asked and stared intently at her

“you eat then talk about stuff. Mostly about the both of you. You ask questions about his personal life, things like his hobbies, favorite food, favorite color... All those stuff” she answered and I sighed

“sweetheart come on, you've gone out to dinner with him several times”

“yeah, but not in a fancy dress and heels and makeup” I said and she laughed

“then forget you're wearing all those. Mari stop being nervous”

“easy for you to say” I mumbled and she chuckled 

“I wonder what's keeping him so long. He ought to be here by now” she
