Happy Birthday Melinda
Another short story for your Birthday. I hope you enjoy it, but you have to pretend Todd and Blair are not together in this one. ;D
A Present she never expected
Melinda was running for the bus, she knew if she missed it she would have to wait another 25 minutes, and she would be late for her blind date. She hated them, but it was her Birthday, and her friend Jessie set her up with this guy she worked with. If she didn't consider Jessie one of her best friends she would have called the guy, and canceled. She yelled at the Bus but the driver drove off, and Melinda slipped on the icy sidewalk trying to catch it. She felt tears come to her eyes as she started to cry it was the stress of the week, and she knew the driver saw her he was a jerk. She went to get up but she was helped up by someone, as she turned around she was speechless, the guy was sexy but in a bad boy kind of way which normally turned Melinda off but something about this man made her heart stop. She bent down picking up her purse, and her bag.
"Thank you, that Bus Driver saw me, I know it"
"I'm sure he did"
Melinda smiled, "I will have to call a cab or hail one now"
"Hey my Car is over there if you would like a lift"
"Oh I don't think I should, I don't even know you"
"Well that is true but the offer is still there if you want to take it"
"I don't think so but thank you very much Mr. I don't even know your name"
"I don't know yours either" He smiled making Melinda laugh.
"I'm Melinda" She took his hand, and he said his name was Todd.
"Well thank you for being so kind Todd "
"I saw you running for the bus, and I knew he was not going to stop for you. I saw you go down, and I wanted to help"
"You are very kind"
"Not kind enough to accept a ride"
"Well My Mom told me never to accept a ride from a stranger"
"She is smart but sometimes it is cool to bend the rules"
Melinda was conflicted she wanted to accept but she also was nervous that was her life. She always held back, and she knew sometimes she had to take a chance but was he safe. Melinda was thinking a million thoughts when Todd touched her shoulder.
"If you have to think that hard maybe a cab would be better"
"No I'm really grateful for the offer, I would love that ride"
"You sure"?
"Yes I'm positive"
Todd took her bag, and they walked to the car. Melinda's stomach was doing flips, but she knew if she didn't accept this ride she would feel bad, and she really felt he was a nice man, as she got in his car. He ran around getting into the car.
"Where to"?
"My home is on Main Street South of Lawrence do you know where that is"?
"Yes but how would you like to join me for dinner"?
"Oh I don't know I was going out on a blind date, my friend set me up for my Birthday"
"Today is your Birthday well I'm taking you out for sure"
"No I have a date"
"You would give up this for a Blind date"
Melinda smiled, "Well it wouldn't be so nice to hurt his feeling would it"
"Well call him, and say something came up, you can have your blind date another time. I want to treat you for your Birthday, and I bet you will forget all about that other guy by the end of the evening"
"You are so sure of yourself I see"
"Yeah I'm pretty confident"
Melinda smiled, "I can't believe I'm doing this but I would love to join you for dinner"
"You won't regret it, I promise you that" He winked at her, she blushed he was a bad boy she was sure of that, but he was sexy, and confident, so forward but he was cute, and he was right he just might make her forget about her Blind Date, she hoped so at least.
To be continued.
