"Did you expect us to come here?"
I stood there speechless. I expected him to take me on a dinner date or to a movie but, he completely surprised me. I didn't know he had it in him.
"Soooo, do you like it?"
"I love it!"
I said as I started hugged him tightly. He took me to an indoor pool that had a retro look to it. The main color scheme was pink, lavender, black, and white.
This place is only meant for rich kids from ages two to eleven. He had to lie when he was making the reservations saying that he was a parent trying to bring his kids.
This reminds me of the times my parents would lie so we can eat got free. Cassidy and I were three-year-old twins for five years.
Dominic was ten and I was eleven. When we showed up the people could tell we were lying about our age. No ten year old has a mustache and no eleven-year-old wears a thirty-inch wig.
I mean, nowadays they do. I see eleven-year-olds wearing 613 blonde wigs and hoop earrings the size of my head. What happened to the awkward phase where we all wore silly bands? They skipped right past that.
As we got situated by the water, the waiter kept giving us weird stares. He almost fell into the water looking at us. Has this man never seen two adults pretending to be kids before? How pathetic.
"Can I help you guys?"
"Yes, I would like some water"
"Are you sure you don't want a beer? You look old enough to go to the club"
They've been trying to get us to admit that we're teenagers for a hot minute now. They can't kick us out because we're not confirming or denying their claims. I looked on their website and it's against their policy to ask those types of questions.
Turns out they had a lawsuit filed against them since they claimed a kid was too 'obese' to be eight.
"Water is fine. And the lady would like a bottle of apple juice." Dominic gave him a smile and went back to his phone.
We've been trying to go to the water slide forever now but this girl was hogging it. She would slide down then crawl back up the slide and go again.
I had to remind myself that she was just a child and this place is meant for her.
As the man set our water in front of us, he handed us the menu. Lobster tail, shrimp, steak, you name it and it was on the menu. These rich kids are living the good life.
"You wanna push her ass off the slide and go have some fun?"
"Let's do it"
We watched the little girl go down the slide and slash in the water. She quickly tried swimming back but Dominic blocked the exit of the slide. As he stalled her I had enough time to go to the entrance.
"Get out of the way you negro, I own this slide"
Dominic was going to say something but, he reminded himself she looked ten. He moved from in front of the slide and signaled for me to go. Being the adult I am I went as soon as I saw she was going back up.
I pushed her out of the slide with my feet, landing me on top of her into the water. I temporarily drowned her for a few seconds. I thought she would have the sense to not try to go up when she saw me going down.
"My mom is going to kill you guys once my butler tells her you dumb monkeys"
"You don't get love at home huh? Because I can tell that's the only reason why you're such a brat"
She huffed and tried to go back up the slide. This time a kid twice my size went in the slide, sending her flying to the deep side of the pool.
She damn near drowned if it wasn't for the lifeguards. She was seen flailing her arms as they pulled her out of the water by the waist.
Look at God, working in mysterious ways.
After a few minutes of Dominic swimming and me floating on top of the water, we were ready to get out. I can't be the only one who still uses a floaty when I swim. I don't want to sink in the bottom so I'm being careful.
No one can tell me that large bodies of water don't scare them. You never know what's lurking in the water that can snatch your ass up.
Dominic rang the bell that was on the table and the waiter came out. He looked irritated his way to us. He genuinely looks tired of his job.
"What do you guys want?"
"Today's special, please. I will like our food served with a smile too."
"I'll give you a smile once you tell me your real ages so I can kick you guys out."
"I'm going to file a restraining order against you. You can't be harassing eleven year old." I said with a smile on my face.
He sucked his teeth then, went back to the employee room. As we waited for our food we started playing Uno. I thought it was going to be a friendly game but I was wrong.
"You're fucking cheating Dominic I can see the green card inside of your swim trunks"
"Girl you are blind. Oh my gosh, a pink whale eating a Dorito"
As I looked back I saw him try to chew the green card. I caught him in action but he tried to cover it up by throwing it in the water.
We decided to put the cards away once he WWE me into the water. My wig that I thought was secure went drifting to the other part of the water.
"It's the Loch Ness monster!"
All the kids came running out of the water in a frenzy. I quickly put on my bonnet before someone realize that the monster was my hair. Right as I was about to escape to the bathroom out food came.
"Here is your stuffed potato with cheese, sour cream, and bacon bits served with a well-done steak and a steamed garlic lobster tail"
"Are you sure this is a kid's place? They serve food with enough portions to serve a grown man."
"I'm gonna have to come here for my eleventh birthday"
After we left the indoor pool he took me out for ice cream. I put all the toppings they had so I could hopefully get a sugar rush. Even though I get diarrhea the next day it's worth it.
"To be honest, I gambled on our date today. Not most girls want to do something that 'immature' like going to an indoor pool"
"Do you not see that I love childish things. I rather go to a trampoline place or go-karting than to an expensive dinner any day. It keeps me on my toes"
"Noted"
I can just see us doing some outrageous things on our dates from now on. He had this look in his eyes that tells me he's determined.
Maybe I'm starting to like him.
