DADDY IS A BUDDY

 

The year isn't clear. I'm a freshman in highschool.I am eyeing this pretty girl in my neighborhood.Just like John Holt  said,she is so beautiful,I call her sweetie.A teen is always hungry for love.Even if I was young,dumb and broke,I still had love to give.If I die, atleast I died trying.A reason is all.

My big man must have noticed my recent movements.His son was trying to be a man.

Fast forward,I take my other half to this famous dazzling and impeccable restaurant on the shores of Lake Victoria.Scene? Magnificent.Breeze? Therapeutic.The decor and ambience is great.Our vibe casual and relaxed.Shakespear could have borrowed some skills for Romeo and Juliet from us.

All I had was love to give,but the love of my life must see my passion through a bottle of fanta.Small things matter,right?

We're sipping our drinks, shenanigans here and there. I'm being told about the last letter I sent.She says she loved the song I dedicated to her.She says Bruno Mars made a masterpiece out of 'Grenade' and 'Marry you'.They got her falling for me. I'm flattered.

I observe the waitress bringing two plates of Fish and wine to our table.

I quickly tell her I didn't make the order.I can't take embarrassments on this date fahm.Not today.

She smiles and says someone did.I quickly figure it out.Maybe my girlfriend has decided to surprise me. Didn't she say my letter got her falling for me?must be her way of expressing love.Not even a 'pua' soul 'nose'.Anyway,I ask her who made the order.

Lo and behold,she points at my big man seated comfortably at the back minding his business in his full glory.

I get home after our date.Dad is looking at me.He can't stop laughing.In his words he asks,"Who takes a beautiful girl out all the way to Dunga beach,10 minutes into the date and he hasn't made an order?

In my defense, good things take time.The broke me was buying time to make our date more romantic.

He goes to gist mum and they both laugh at me.

My big man is resting with the Lord but that banter was out of this world.Bro code,but in a parental way.
