Chapter 5 The date

The whole house appeared messy as KC scattered her clothes looking for something nice to wear. Few minutes back, while resting on the couch, KC receives a phone call with a strange number. Doubting if she should pick it or not. Eventually she picks it.

"Hello." KC said stuffing popcorn in her mouth.

"Hello KC." Emmy said smiling.

"And who am I speaking with please?" KC demanded politely

"It's me Emmy."

"Emmy?" KC Said confused.

"The guy you met the other time." Emmy explained .

"Wait... The musician? Like Emmy? Like seriously?" KC said, using her hand to create a breeze.

"Yeah. It's really me." Emmy said smiling.

"What's up? I mean how are you? How are you doing today? Oh my god! I know I sound pretty weird right now."

"Calm down, it's okay. I'm fine thank you. So how are you?"

"I'm fine thank you.......... Uhmmmm....... "

"I wanted to ask if you're less busy tonight?" Emmy said, breaking the silence.

"No, yes, I mean no... I'm not, I'm always available."KC said stammering.

"Cool. How would you feel if I asked you out for dinner?" Emmy asked, a little scared.

"Like me? Dinner? Cool, very cool, I love it. I mean I would love to go."

"Like seriously?" Emmy asked to be sure.

"Yeah, yeah, sure." KC said blushing.

"That's nice. Would you set the time for our meeting?" Emmy asked.

"Anytime... Anytime is cool. Maybe six?" KC said.

"Okay, that's okay. Got any place we can meet? Probably a good restaurant where we can have dinner?" Emmy asked.

"That should be on you, I chose the time already." KC said smiling awkwardly.

"Okay. I'll send you the address."

"Oh! Okay. That's cool."

"Bye then"

"Yeah..... Yeah..... Bye." KC said happily.

KC throws her phone on the couch as she jumps happily. She still couldn't believe on the fact that superstar Emmy asked her out on a date. She needed to wear something nice and presentable.

Three hours after, KC sat opposite Emmy, staring at him like he's a god.

KC removed her jacket which revealed that she wore a dress of mauve silk, strimmed in lace, dyed to match. It was caught close in the waist to suit her slimness.

Sydney, a guy in his twenties who was considered to be KC's boyfriend had bought the entire bolt of cloth from which the dress was made so that no one else might wear that color. She remarked that it set off her darkish purple hair perfectly and gave her an air of mystery among common cobalt blue, yellows and pinks.

"Nice dress." Emmy said admiring her dress, or probably shape.

"Thanks a lot,"KC said, blushing.

"What would you love to have?" Emmy asked.

"Sandwich and orange juice." KC said politely.

"Are you sure you want something simple?" Emmy asked confused.

"That would do, thanks"

Emmy called the waiter and ordered a sandwich, parsley sauce, and two cups of orange juice.

"Nice outfit." KC said.

"Thanks love." Emmy responded smiling.

"You're welcome." KC said, blushing.

The waiter brought what they ordered. Soon they began eating.

"So what do you do for fun?" Emmy asked, trying to start up a conversation.

"I love writing." KC responded shyly.

"Really? That's nice... Sounds wonderful." Emmy said.

"You should probably write a story about me, bills on me."

"Okay, but ain't collecting dime from you". KC responded.

"Can I talk to you about something please? I really need someone to share it with." KC pleaded.

"C'mon, talk to me." Emmy responded cautiously.

"I don't want to be engaged." KC said, almost crying.

"Then don't." Emmy said.

"My dad is forcing me to get married to someone I barely know. I don't want to get married please, help me." Tears rolled down her eyes.

"Introduce your boyfriend to your dad." Emmy advised.

"I've done that, he doesn't really like Sydney. He threatened to kill him if he sees him again."

"Why?"

"He's not so rich, my dad thinks he's a gold digger."

"Sorry, there's nothing I can do. I also get disturbed by my mum to get married."

"But you have a girlfriend, your mum would accept her." KC suggested rightly.

"She was so rude, my mum hates her., More so, she's not ready for anything concerning marriage." Emmy concluded.

"I think she's double dating."

"No, she's not, she can't be. Whatever. I can't inherit my late dad's property if I am not married, Well, I'm not really interested in that."

"Emmy please help me, I don't want to get engaged." KC pleaded.

"When will the engagement take place?" Emmy asked.

" Tomorrow." KC responded slowly.

"Do you want me to follow you to your dad's place and tell him I'm your boyfriend? So the engagement ceremony can be cancelled." Emmy suggested.

"I don't know." KC said, debating about it.

"It's your choice. All you need to do is to make sure you don't fall in love with me, I want divorce after a year." Emmy said.

"I'm cool with that, thanks." KC responded.
