AN ESCAPADE NEVER TO BE FORGETTEN

My mother once told me, "When the deal is too good think twice", but it was until just a few nights ago that i got to know the true sense of that statement. Just a few nights ago i had arrived home from school at about 7 P.M, very tired i must add. This was one of those days one calls beautiful cos i had accomplished most of my tasks on my to do list. Back to that night, I feel as if am reliving the moment again :). In that tired mode i walked into the room and collapsed on Mushkins bed. She was sleeping so i woke her up with my collapse. She gave me this joking nasty look which faded away as she embraced me in a big hug and smile. I think she must have been having a bad dream and was so relieved i woke her up, just saying but hoping that was not the case. After a long moment of pleasantries I left the room to visit the wash room. When I walked in I was greeted by smiley faces, that definitely not the same faces i left earlier so i looked a them with this weird look and asked,"why are your faces that cheerful, I don't think I have such an effect on you,#blush #blush". They laughed out loud saying how much they are happy to see me but i knew they were only joking around. They finally broke the good news to me, "We have been invited for dinner". Yeaaaaaa!!!!!! was all i said, but i questioned, All three of us? By who? Where? This is just the best night ever!!!!They told me that one of our girlfriends had just been invited for a friends birthday and HE was sufficiently philanthropic on his birthday. "Girl it's your lucky day" I told myself.

Surely surely hard work pays in the most unusual ways. This is a very very good day. I brushed my teeth, washed my face, put on fresh make-up and put on something warm. I was good to go. To juice it all up we were picked by one of the guy's friend, apparently a 'lawyer'. Ooh this was great! great! great! There was so much traffic so we took quite a long time to reach the City. Finally when we arrived we were dropped next to a very luxurious restaurant. I gave Mushkins this 'wow' look and exchanged smiles. As I was headed for the door our girlfriend stopped me telling me we weren't going in. I looked at her in this questioning look? "You mean we are being come for by a 'BOUNCER' V.I.P style?" I asked. When she burst out in laughter I knew either i had gone a bit too far or I read her mind, :)so i should just wait. That was not even to be the shock of the night, the real shock came when she told me that it was not the place we were headed and truth was that the Birthday boy actually had not arrived. I now wondered if it was supposed to be a surprise party or something of that sort but it was not. He was actually in another vicinity having his moment for life and we were supposed to wait. Wait?!?Since when do girls wait, I thought to myself but cos I had been invited i kept my mouth shut and waited. Waiting for someone on the streets is unheard of so our girlfriend asked us if we should either walk into the restaurant and order a drink as we wait or we walk around the city. We preferred walking around as we had stupidly not carried enough money to cater for meals and most especially not in that luxurious restaurant. Our walk was splendid as our City is beautiful at night with all the city lights. We walked until it got boring,and it was time to be wise and say enough is enough. We threatened our girlfriend that we were going home, but as we were walking towards the bus stop, it started to rain. The pissing thing was that the guy had even stopped picking his calls. This was a jinxed night, a very jinxed one too. How? To make things worse we did not have an umbrella. As we were waiting for it to reduce it got heavier and heavier. Luckily our girl friend met some old friends who work at a DVD store so we got to say hi and spend some time there waiting for the rain to stop. One of the guys was very handsome if I may add, wow! Now that was at least one good thing the night had dropped on us. We stayed there until they closed the store and we had to leave. We went to a fast food restaurant as it was still raining and ate some fresh fries and by the time we were through the intensity of the rain had reduced and our chance to head to the bus stop without getting very wet. We rushed and got into the bus and headed home. When we got to our destination, the rain started with a great intensity. By the time we got to the house we were drenched. What a bad night it was. Once bitten twice shy, such an offer i shall never agree to.
