Parrot Valentine Day | Page 18

My Valentine’ s story That was a boy. His name was John. He liked reading books and learning very much. He was the best in the school. He was very intelligent but he didn’ t have any friends, except me. I was his only friend. One day, on Valentine’ s day I persuaded him to go out. We went to Pizza Hut. We sat by the window. When we chose what we wanted to eat we asked a waitress. Waitress was very nice and I thought that she liked my a little bit weird friend. They were joking and laughing. When she left our table I started persuading John to ask this nice girl for a date. Immediately he said:,, No”. I asked him:,, Why John? She is very nice! And she may like you. It is your chance not to be alone!” He looked at me distressed. I knew that I said too much. He didn’ t like when somebody reminded him this fact. He has never had a girlfriend despite the fact that I was his only friend in all his life( it means nineteen years) and I was a girl. I reminded him this sad fact. In one second we started fighting. He said that it was not my business what he felt and I( thanks God) would not decide about his emotional life! I was very shocked. He looked angry and I was a little scared about that. He took his bag and in the next moment he left the restaurant. I was trying to stop him but it didn’ t work. I felt terrible. I was like all these girls in a TV series. I felt like a bad character. I knew that my friend was very shy and he didn’ t like when somebody was telling him what he should do, but this time his reaction was really weird. I was drinking water when the girl came to me. She asked me:,, Why did your friend leave the restaurant so fast?”. I told her:,, Because we had a fight.”. She was cleaning a table. She was ready to leave me alone but I asked her in the last second:,, Do you like my friend?” The girl was surprised because of my question. She didn’ t expect a question like this. She said:,, I don’ t know him very much but he seems to be a good guy. I was a little sad when he left the restaurant. I wanted to talk with him.” After this I asked:,, About what? Did you want to ask him for a date?” She said:,, Sorry but I don’ t feel comfortable when I’ m talking with a stranger about things like these.” I said:,, Sure, everybody would feel uncomfortable. I can give you his phone number if you want.” She took a number and after that I left. She told me that her name was Ann. Hmmm …. John and Ann. Doesn’ t it sound beautiful? John and Ann. Ann and John. I hoped that my friend would forgive me. I came back home and I went to bed. The next day John called me:,, I’ m sorry for my yesterday reaction. I’ m so embarrassed because of that. Can you forgive me? You know what? This waitress from yesterday called me! Her name is Ann and she asked me for a date! She said that she liked a lot of science – fiction stories and Marvel! Exactly like me! I’ m going out with her on Sunday. We will go bowling. But there is something I don’ t understand. How did she get my phone number?’’. I told him:,, I have no idea. But I’ m very happy. Maybe she is a witch or it’ s a Valentine’ s miracle? Haha!”. We both started laughing. I didn’ t want to tell John how Ann got his number. I wanted him to feel that it was really magical. John and Ann liked each other a lot. They are studying at the same university and they are planning now their future together.
