Chapter Three: Miserable Miser

Start from the beginning
                                        

Shhhhhhhhhhh! "I made the sound to shit my inner thought up.

What? He asked

"Nothing I'm just uh, I uh I ummm I'm trying to put her to sleep. Shhhhhhhhhhh baby sleep "patting the baby's back with my hand

Inner thoughts : he traded the I's with you😂😂
When the mother of the baby finally came out the baby was fast asleep. She apologized about keeping us waiting and thanked me for holding her baby. The lady had a semblance to David and he didn't need to tell me who she was to him.

" Are you my brother's girlfriend? "she asked smiling at me
"No, we uh we are friends "David replied even before I could speak

Yes we are friends " I concurred with David
"Dave, you should do something about that, this one would be a perfect match for you, I'll see you soon. And Dave visit your dear sister more, would you?"
She left and we drove off

"I think your sister is nice"I started

Yeah she is"I noticed that he was still battling with making eye contact

" I actually told you to come because I wanted to tell you something important " I reached into my purse and brought out the package and I noticed that his face changed when he saw it

" I can't accept this, it's a nice gesture but I don't feel comfortable taking it from you"

"Why!  Is it the colour, I uh, I coukd get you another one, I'm really sorry but ummm, I uh, ummm, I God I hate this!! " he was tapping furiously on the steering wheel

"Hey easy calm down , don't yell, I love the necklace it's just too expensive, there's no need to get tensed or upset about it"

"Yeah, I umm I am sorry, but I won't accept it unless you agree to take something else " his face relaxed

"Ok fine, something much cheaper "
We  finally got a very cheap pair of black beaded bracelets and I made him take one. I knew deep down that David was getting more relaxed with me. Atleast today I was the casual one and he was the one on suit. Hence intimidation was not on my side.
We got snacks and ate in his car on my request and he dropped me off. Atleast today was better than the first day.

Later I got ready for the third date, I decided to go with a jumpsuit , made sure that I looked anything but hot or lukewarm.
My date picked me up at the location I texted him and it was still at the same restaurant that we arrived. I was slowly becoming a regular there .
When we stepped in I finally saw his face clearly

Inner thoughts : lol this one is arrogantly ugly, welldone beauty you got yourself a beast! 😂
I only shook my head and went in. He pulled out the chair for me and I sat down

Inner thoughts : don't be fooled by that, he's being nice because he knows he doesn't stand a chance.

Stop talking to me! Great he heard me
The man raised his brow and looked at me
"Excuse me!? Is there a problem?

No not at all, I remembered something " I replied

When the waiter came
He didn't let me order, he ordered for the both of us and said "Things are expensive these days "

Seriously, I wasn't even going to order expensive food

Inner thought : beast 60%

How much is that weave you have on? He inquired

It's 20000"why do you ask?

he flipped out
That's my problem with women, you people waste income on things that are irrelevant, why not use attachments and braid your hair, save money! "

Inner thoughts :😲😲

" there's nothing wrong in going for quality Mr, that is a very rude thing to say. If I can afford it I'll buy it. The real problem should be using what I can't afford" I replied vwey much offended by his reaction

When the food arrived I noticed that it was only one plate that was brought and it was served with water

You didn't order for yourself?

"No I'll eat at another restaurant, their food is cheaper "

The man kept talking of money, how he saves a lot by cutting costs, the budget he made for marriage, child education. The amount he gives in church

Inner thoughts : miserable miser!!!
The whole time we sat there, I didn't get another opportunity to make a statement, he kept talking about savings!

I'm done, I want to leave now" I finally let out totally worn out by listening to him.
He looked at me then looked at the plate before focusing his gaze on me

"You're done with food?like this?  This is pure waste!! 

He took my fork and finished the food and told the waiter to package the leftover meat. I couldn't stand him anymore so I walked out. And few minutes later he came out carrying the meat.
I was hoping that he'd give me a ride back but instead he told me he was saving petrol. He didn't want to get a refill till tomorrow and the one left was meant to take him home.

Inner thoughts : this man should be crucified
I hailed a cab and left
On getting to the house I received a text that read
"Call u 2moro, night"
I bet he was also cutting cost that's why his text appeared to be so messed up.
I took my biro wrote miser on the third date and graded him -100%
The only good about that day  was hanging out with David and I texted him before I slept off.
