BLIND DATES
I have been to a couple of bound dates. These were mostly pickups from my DMS who fancied the idea of sharing coffee or dinner with yours truly. Upon such an invite I would execute a thorough background check on them. I’d comb through, Twitter, Instagram the good old Facebook and finally for professional sake Linkedin. Most millennials will refer to this as stalking but for this girl, it was just a check. I wanted to know who I was dealing with, the kind of person they are and their interests. Yes, I have canceled dates because of one's Twitter profile. We would not have been compatible. Being the good detective I am, I sniffed this a mile away. Who wants to waste a good outfit and a full face beat? Not me.
I met a young girl last year. I have always had an interest in boys but his one sparked something in me. She ignited a fire, one that I couldn’t put out no matter how I tried. The girl was easy to love. She would smile showing off her toothless gums and most nights she would keep me awake. My girl was different, unlike the men who flocked my DMS in droves. She wasn't interested in hitting it. She wanted something more. She wanted me more than what I offered. The belle as she liked to be referred was not a superficial being. She not only asked a lot of whys but also demanded answers. Yes, you are right, she flipped me. I’m now into girls.
At night she would squeal and kick her legs in the air and only a meeting with the mighty wet boob would she calm down. She was a lady but not when her pleasure was being delayed. My girl was a gem, she’d hold my thumb squeeze it making me melt on the inside. She aimed to please and failed rarely. She was a homebody hence we spent most of our time inside. We would occasionally have date nights but for the most part, You will find us cuddled binging on tell tubbies. My partner was a gem. After a scrumptious meal of mashed potatoes and beef stew, which I mostly prepared. She would fall asleep on my arms as I rocked her back and forth humming to a lullaby. In no time the soothing lull would get to me and we would both drift to slumberland. We were soulmates hence the synchrony.
Did I mention the long walks we would take inside the estate? She loved a good tan and would never miss the opportunity to stretch her thick thighs, in the sun. This was the best I had ever gotten from a blind date. I am glad I went. A night well spent if you asked me.
My girl woke me up one night, she was wheezing. This was new as I had not known her as an asthmatic. I quickly rushed her to the ER. “It is a small issue” the pediatrician, told me as he took her away to the ward. “I’m sorry but you cannot go past this door”, the nurse told me when I tried to follow my girl. I was smitten you know, Hence never wanted to leave her side.
“We tried as hard as we could but we lost her”, said the doctor who had taken her away a few hours back. Was this a bad dream? I felt myself floating then I blacked out. When I came to, my girl was brought to me. She was no longer smiling neither was she tagging on my blouse. My girl was no more.
Thank you for choosing me as your mom. Thank you for allowing me to experience the bittersweet feeling that is motherhood. Most importantly thank you for being the best blind date ever. I waited 9 months to meet a stranger. One that opened me to a love that I have never experienced before. You were more than I could ever Imagine. You taught me how to love unconditionally and for that, I’m forever grateful.
My best blind date.
