Nikole
Another gust of wind ripped through my hair, sending chills throughout my
body, and the peach fuzz on my arms stiffened. I gripped the collar of my
wool coat with one ungloved hand while the other dug for the phone in my
coat pocket to check the time. It was 7:10 p.m. Only a minute had passed
since I had checked the screen last.
As I waited on the sidewalk, I tried bouncing on the balls of my feet, but
the leather of my new boots hardly gave way and the movement hurt more
than it helped.
Where was he?
I wasn’t even sure what he looked like. My friend Sarah described her
brother as tall, with short, dark hair, and a wide mouth. She said he was the
serious type, so not to be offended if he didn’t smile much. It wasn’t much
to go on for a blind date, but she had also said to meet him in front of the
Darlin’ Donut shop on the corner of Third and Centre streets. I opened my
text with Sarah, double-checking the proposed time, but it clearly read 7:00
p.m.
I hated it when people were late. It was perhaps my biggest pet peeve.
That and loud chewing. Both could turn my best mood into a foul one.
7:11 p.m.
I crammed my phone back inside my pocket and shook my shoulders,
hoping to build some heat. It was only the end of October, but the weather
had quickly changed this week in New York. It wasn’t much warmer in
Washington D.C. where I lived only a few weeks ago. I attended law school
and articled there until a job opportunity at one of my top firms became
available in New York.
I had hesitated to take the position because it was
the one place I didn’t want to go. The one place I knew I would be
miserable. The one city that would make me feel small again because it was
where my mother lived. She raised me in Washington, but two years ago,
her new job brought her to New York. And then my dream job brought me
to her.
Fate had a terrible sense of humor.
Several people were walking in and out of the donut shop, but I had
tuned the door chime out by this point. Despite Wellington being a small
suburb of New York, there were plenty of shoppers flocking to the bigname retail outlets surrounding the shop.
The crunch of salt and dirt caught my attention. To my right, a shiny
black SUV pulled into the parking lot.
It was dark so I couldn’t see the
driver, but the vehicle drove towards me. I could make out a shape, a head
with short, cropped hair, nearly reaching the top of the cab.
My pulse ticked at my neck. Was I nervous? Excited? Maybe a little of
both. I’d never been on a blind date before. What should we talk about?
