Prompt 430 - Blind Dates - 1. Prompt 430 - Creative

I cringed when I opened my email to see the mass invite to our companies Charity’s Night Out. As I read through the email and see which restaurants have been chosen for each charity, I balked at the words ‘mandatory attendance required unless otherwise excused by your supervisor.’ I hated social functions and I hated eating out at restaurants so I sent off a quick email to Emily, my supervisor, telling her that I couldn’t make it because I didn’t know of anyone to go with or to invite with me.

That matter resolved, I quickly dived into my work, ignoring everything around me like I normally do. That was until I heard a knock on my cubicle wall. I turned and saw Emily standing there with a huge grin on her face and what I could only describe as a glint of evil in her eyes. “What’s up?” I asked her already fearing the worst.

“Well,” she said slowly “I think I have a solution to your issue with Charity’s Night Out. I have a friend who’s absolutely perfect for you. I’ve been meaning to talk to you about him for a while and well, now seems as good of a time as any.”

I tilted my head back and groaned, my worst fears coming true. A. Blind. Fricking. Date. I looked back at Emily and shook my head, “That’s okay, you don’t need to…”

“No problem at all. In fact I already invited him and told him all about you!” She said with evil glee. “I’m certain you’ll love him!”

Not seeing a way out of this I sighed and looked at her “Well, what’s he like?”

“Oh you’ll see, he’s really special!” She said laughing as she walked away from my cubicle and chuckled while I just slumped in my chair defeated.

So a few days later and I’m standing in the lobby of my job looking for Emily and getting more and more nervous by the minute. When groups of people start leaving, I began to think that Emily and/or my blind date weren’t going to show up. I smiled in relief until I felt a tap on my shoulder and the tension that was slowly dissipating shot right back. “Aaron, come over here and meet my friend and your blind date.”

I followed Emily and when she introduced me to my blind date I couldn’t help but burst out laughter that brought everyone’s attention over to me. I could also hear a deep laugh as well coming from in front of me and when I was finally able to get control over myself I looked at Emily who looked extremely confused.

“Emily,” I said catching my breath. “You’re right in that my blind date is something special. That’s my cousin Alex.”

Alex busted out laughing and I joined him, all the while Emily stood there sputtering her words.

The blind date is his cousin? Never would have imagined that scenario.
Oh well, at least Aaron and Alex should have fun on their "date" as it is evident they get along.

That was one way to get out of a rotten date. At least it was his cousin so he could relax and just have fun.

Wonderful, I loved the twist and how the blind date backfired on the probably well-meaning supervisor.

 

Maybe his cousin could help him sneak away early???

Hahahahahaha nice twist! At least now Aaron and Alex can enjoy themselves without the pressure of the blind date. :)
