Lustful Eyes

Nathaniel 

I looked at the guy sitting right next to me. This is shit; this man is the last person I could think my parents would want to match me with.

so boring and ugly.

Maybe in their eyes, I just deserved this kind of man .

"Sweetie, do you need anything?" he asked, and I felt like hitting him for calling me that.

This was our first meet.

Sweetie?

This made me sick.

"Did I really need anything? Nope, maybe yes, but not from you," I reply angrily.

This was the seventh man I met in three months.

I bored about with blind date.

So why did I need to polite with a stranger?

"You are too full of yourself; I don't know why I don't like girls like you. I am done with this date," he thundered, standing on his feet.

I glared at him for a while and burst into laughter.

"Sorry, you must be really disappointed. I don't like you either; in fact, you disperse me. You are an ugly. Monkey, haha, yeah, that would be a better way to describe you, Mr. Date, "I said mockingly and smiled to myself.

He took his car key and left angrily.

I closed my eyes, remembering what was going to happen.

I knew that today wasn't going to be a good day. I messed up again.

That man I call father will screw me alive .

"Whatever, I can bear that," I let out angrily.Then I realized people were staring.

I bit my teeth for the umpteenth time before leaving for my car. What car was I talking about? That idiot was the one who brought me here.

How do I get home now? Maybe I will just pass a call across to my driver; I was about to do that when my dad call came in. Speak of the devil. I muster up,  and resorted to pick the call. 

 I took a deep breath as I plugged in my earbuds.

"Nathaniel, where are you?"His croaky voice asked, My head became empty, as did my stomach. I didn't know how to answer him.

"Dad, please calm down; it's not what you think." That was the only word I could gather.

"The driver will be there to pick you up. You better give me a valid reason. " he shrieked, and he ended the call. I realized I was doomed. I nervously put my phone inside my handbag.

Then my mind went back .I missed him so much. He has always been there for me. Where are you, Khalid? I don't want to be with anyone except for you. Please come back for my sake; I can't live all by myself. I tried controlling my emotions, but the tears flowed easily.

I quickly wiped away my tears when I realized I was not in my room. A few minutes later, the driver arrives, and I slowly walk into the car with my heavy legs.

"How was your date, ma?" he asked in a friendly way.

"What date are you talking about? How dare you talk about my date?" I shouted at him, and I couldn't help but let my tears flow freely.

"I am sorry, ma; please don't complain to the boss. He's going to fire me immediately," he pleaded.

Who cares about him? If he really knows how much pain it is for a child not to have a parent by her side.

I had no mood to think about others.
