Over the phone we made up to go out the next Sunday also at 3:30, but this time it would be different since my whole family was going to be home. 10 minutes before the date I shooed all my younger siblings down to the basement and warned them about coming out before one of my parents gave the all clear signal. I also promised them the cake which was set up on the table but no guy ever touches. My parents planned to escort the two of us out the door as soon as possible since one of the bathrooms was clogged and they were expecting the plumber.
Soon my battery started to die (and I left my Black and Decker car starter at home LOL) so I asked him if he wants to call back on my friends private line and I asked my friend if I can talk in her room privately. I told him to call me at 555-1234.
I was really looking forward to the next date now that I thought I knew him better. Over dinner he tells me that he wants to show me something as he put his hand in his jacket pocket. I was secretly hoping it would be something innocent like a family picture as opposed to his favorite graphing calculator, but it was neither.
When the waiter came with the bill he took it this time but he had a perplexed look on his face. The receipt said not to include the tip on the credit card.
So he left it under one of the plates and went to thank the waiter for the wonderful service. After we left he had this horrible thought that someone might have seen him hide the tip under a plate and will snatch it before the waiter gets it, so we stood by the window watching until the waiter took it. (Sometimes I just wonder?)
To spare everyone from the rest of the details- we eventually got engaged.
