So now I’m no longer taken bacon, but instead I’m a single Pringle ready to mingle. I don’t think the end of my engagement to Tayla has properly hit me yet, but maybe I’m taking the break up this well because as time went on, I started to think that she obviously didn’t want to be with me anymore. So here I am, ready for a blind date, set up by my Mom, which was nice of her to do for me, I just hope that considering we’re still in the process of getting to know each other that she hasn’t set me up with someone who is the complete opposite of who I would want to be in a relationship with.
I’m sat here in the restaurant, dressed in my black leather high heeled boots, my pair of black skin tight leather trousers, my black Nightwish Imaginearum T-shirt and my black leather jacket. Yes, I know it’s not really much of an effort going into a date, but I’ve never liked wearing dresses so give me a break. I watch the door leading to the restaurant open and in walks a leggy, busty plastic looking blonde, caked in make up and fake tan and dressed in a gold sequins dress, carrying a large Armani handbag, poking it’s head out of the bag is one of those awful bug eyed Chihuahuas.
“Oh God, please don’t let that be my date...”
She looks around the restaurant and when she spots me, she begins to make her way over to me with a large smile on her face, so she must indeed be my date, great. As she reaches the table, I stand to my feet and put on my best fake smile and greet her with a handshake.
“Hiya! You must be Marie’s daughter...my name is Kandi, with a K and an I...”
Of course it is, probably your stripper name. I smile and nod as we take our seats, I’m dreading this more than anything.
“So, what’s your name then?”
“Sta...”
She cuts me off, why am I not fucking surprised.
“Oh...my...God...you’re that wrestler aren’t you? Sally...Sally Johnson is it?”
Jesus fucking Christ this is painful already.
“Stacy Jones...”
“Yeah that’s it...I was thinking of my old friend, she was a right whore...”
No wonder you were friends then, this is going to be a long ass night.
...many hours later...
“So I was all like, what the Hell are you doing in my house bitch? And she was all like, I’m showing your man what it’s like to be with a real woman! And I was like, is she for real?”
Please! Shut the fuck up! Go to the toilet or something, just give me a damn break.
“So that was like, when I decided to become a lesbian, men are just jerks...”
Decided to become a lesbian? This woman has no fucking clue! You don’t choose your sexuality.
“So like, how much do you like...earn? Being a wrestler...I bet it’s a lot...”
Why the fuck is she asking me this question? Oh right, it’s because she’s a skanky gold digger, that’s why.
“Actually, hold that thought, I need to like, go and use the little girl’s room...”
FINALLY! THANK YOU! She gets up from her chair and makes her way over to where the toilets are. I slowly drop my head onto the table and begin to headbutt the table repeatedly, this is torture. I lift my head up and notice my eyes meet with that bug eyed Chihuahua of hers, and then it begins yapping at me.
“Not you too...”
It continues yapping at me before suddenly, I growl at it, forcing it to whimper and hide inside the bag. I’m probably being stared at by everyone in the restaurant but quite frankly, I don’t give a fuck. Suddenly, I have an idea, so I quickly take my phone out from my pocket and scroll through my contacts till I reach Seifer and I hit the call button and place it to my ear.
“C’mon Seifer, pick up...”
After a few rings, Seifer answers the phone.
“Hey Seifer, I need your help...in about five minutes can you call me and say something like, Mom’s been rushed to the hospital or something? I’m stuck on this date with a really annoying plastic whore and I need to get out of it before I end up strangling her and her damn Chihuahua to death! Thanks Seifer, you’re a life saver...and no...I’m not really going to strangle the dog to death...okay...bye.”
I hang up and put my phone back into my pocket as Kandi, with a K and an I comes back and sits back down at the table.
“So then...what are you like...planning on getting to eat?”
I pick up the menu and begin perusing through it, trying to think of something that I’ll have to eat, even though I’m not actually going to be having anything.
“Hmm, I’m not sure...”
As I continue to look through the menu, suddenly my phone begins to ring, here’s my chance to get the Hell out of here. I take my phone out and check that it’s Seifer calling me and it is.
“Excuse me, I need to take this, it’s my brother...”
I answer the call and put the phone to my ear.
“Hi Seifer, what’s up? WHAT?!?! Oh my God! I’ll be there as soon as I can...okay...bye.”
I hang up my phone and get to my feet.
“Sorry Kandi, that was my brother, our Mom’s been rushed to hospital after she collapsed...I’ve gotta go...it was nice meeting you...”
I quickly rush past her, not allowing her to retort and I finally get out of the restaurant and let out a huge sigh of relief.
“Thank fuck for that...”
I begin to make my way down the street and pop into a corner shop, I head up to the counter and wait for the shopkeeper to arrive.
“Hi, can I get a bottle of wine and a pack of smokes please...”
The shopkeeper nods and grabs a bottle of wine and a pack of smokes and places them on the counter, he pressed a few buttons on the cash register before turning to me.
“That’ll be thirty dollars please Miss...”
I give the shopkeeper thirty dollars and he places the items into a bag for me before handing it to me.
“Thanks...”
I then leave the shop and head down the street before reaching the hotel that I along with many other Visionaries are staying at. I think I’ll go and see Katie, I don’t particularly want to drink this win alone. I enter the hotel and make my way towards the room that Katie is staying at, I know she probably would like to be cheered up considering she believes she’s responsible for the end of my relationship.
“Now to spend some time with a real woman...”
I reach the door of Katie’s hotel room finally, at least now I’m going to spend time with someone who actually listens to me, someone who I actually like being around. Stop thinking about that shambles of a date Stacy, it’s over, it’s done, you’ll never see her again, just focus on spending some time with a friend who at this moment in time probably thinks you hate her right now. I knock on the door three times with my free hand and wait for Katie to answer, whilst I wait, I sing to myself.
“I’ve heard a thousand voices...telling me to do as they say...”
After a brief bit, the door opens and I stop singing to find Katie standing there dressed in a grey Sonic the Hedgehog T-shirt and a pair of dark pink hot pants.
"Oh, hi there, Ms J. Are you okay? Because you seem a bit dejected."
I let out an elongated sigh as I walk past her and into her room as she closes the door behind her. I let my handbag fall off my shoulder and land on the floor before I put the bag of goodies I bought earlier down before then slumping down onto the sofa.
“My date was a disaster...”
"Oh, dearie me. That's got to suck."
“Yeah, she was just the complete opposite of who I would want to be in a relationship with...she was like one of those whores that Ryder Blade hangs out with, a busty plastic air-headed blonde Oompa Loompa...”
"She sounded incredibly nasty and chock full of a daily dose of disease? I think I'd hate myself if I were like that."
“Well you actually have a brain so you’ll never be like that...but honestly...she just wouldn’t shut the fuck up, talking about her boring life...and then when she found out I was a wrestler? Suddenly she was talking about how much I earn, clearly all she cares about is getting with someone with a lot of money...”
I let out another sigh as Katie sits down on the couch beside me.
“And what made the whole thing even worse, was that she had one of those little bug eyed Chihuahuas...I mean, don’t get me wrong, I love dogs...but I can’t fucking stand Chihuahuas. I had to wait for her to go the bathroom so I could phone Seifer and ask him to call me and pretend my mother had been rushed to hospital, just so I had an excuse to get the Hell out of there...”
"Jeez, sounds like a rougher night than you had bargained for. I feel really bad for you."
“I’ll live, it was just one lousy date, maybe the next one won’t be so bad. It’s just tough trying to find the right one...I want someone natural looking, who’s sweet, kind, loving and caring. Someone who’ll love me for me...preferably I’d like someone who likes wrestling as well, and I DEFINITELY need someone who can handle my huge obsession with Batman and anything Batman related...”
I reach into the carrier bag and pull out the bottle of red wine.
“But hey, looking for the right one can wait for another day, tonight I just want to chill out with my student and have a few glasses of wine...”
Katie goes to say something, but purses her lips when I pull out the wine.
"Sounds fun, but I don't drink alcohol. I do have Pepsi and a spare Dreamcast controller."
“Fair enough, what games have you got?”
Katie digs around in her CD case and finds three games.
"I brought Sonic Adventure 2, which has the best multiplayer mode of any Sonic game. I also brought Soul Caliber and Marvel vs Capcom 2, two fighting games."
“Sounds like a lot of fun, I love Sonic...I remember when I got my first ever game console, it was a Sega Megadrive and the first game I ever owned was the first Sonic game and I loved it. I’m going to pop out for a cigarette and once I’m finished, we’ll get playing...”
I take the pack of cigarettes I bought from the bag before I get to my feet and make my way towards the sliding doors leading out onto the balcony. I slide open the door and walk out before popping a cigarette into my mouth and lighting it, a few moments later, Katie appears beside me as we both rest our arms on the railing, looking out at the view.
“I know you blame yourself for my relationship ending Katie, but it’s not your fault...Tayla was jealous and quite frankly, considering she was the one who came up with the stipulation for your match against her at Heatstroke, to me that sounds like she wanted our relationship to be over anyway, she just wanted to make it look like both you and I were responsible for it ending...”
"No offense, but it sounds like Tayla's a slut...she gravitates to someone who'll please her for the time being, at least that's how I was taught what that word meant. Of course I didn't know her, and by extension, you until a few months ago."
“To be honest, the moment she started being jealous of you, I didn’t even know who she was anymore. I guess I shouldn’t have rushed into commitment so quickly, I did the same thing with Matt and that relationship ended too...”
I take a drag of my cigarette, inhaling the nicotine drug that I crave before blowing it out into the air.
“So when did you discover you liked women? You know...in a sexual way? If you don’t mind me asking of course...sorry if this is an embarrassing question for you, I’m just curious...”
Katie takes a moment to reflect.
"I'd sa-a-ay aaaa-round the same time you started training me, the first session in particular sticks out to me. I guess I started to figure it all out after my freshman year after I broke up with my ex-boyfriend. I felt like he was just keeping me around for his ego and nothing else. I was actually kind of scared of him after a few months."
“Yeah, I’ve pretty much known I was bi ever since I had a lesbian experience when I was seventeen. It was only last year when I started having strong feelings for the same sex again, which was why I got divorced from Matt...”
I take another drag of my cigarette.
“So have you got your eyes on anyone in particular? A nice, sweet, gorgeous girl like you shouldn’t have too much trouble in finding someone...”
Katie longingly looks over at Stacy for just a few seconds, then slowly and stiffly looks back to the skyline.
"Not--not in particular."
It's difficult for Katie to lie well.
“C’mon, there must be someone...okay how about this...if you could go out on a date with ANYONE in the world, who would it be? You can tell me, I won’t tell anyone else...”
"Well...okay, then."
Katie takes a moment to breath.
"I'll give you a hint: if I could date anyone in the world, nay, the universe..."
She slowly looks over and smiles warmly.
"I'd want to see what my final penance is..."
I freeze for a moment before slowly turning my head to look at Katie, her smile begins to fade as she must be thinking that she’s said something I didn’t want to hear.
“Who...me?”
I blush slightly, thinking for a moment about what Katie’s just said. She seems as if she’s about to apologize for what she said, however I interject before she has a chance too.
“Okay then...I don’t see why we shouldn’t give it a try...”
A look of initial surprise becomes a mixture of about a million different happy things all at once on Katie's face. She lets out a squeal of excitement and hugs Stacy around the shoulders.
“So, shall we say...pick me up at seven...next Friday night then?”
"Ooh, it's a date, Ms J!"
I chuckle before finishing off my cigarette as we both head back inside to play some video games.
