Finally, the movie that had made Nicolae feel entertained was tainted by resentment due to the actions of several couples who were doing indecent stuff throughout the movie in their respective seats.
Shudders suddenly crept into his back as Louisa's hand slowly began to grope his thigh. Nicolae's body stiffened in horror and he didn't dare turn his head. He was afraid that Louisa would make his already thin patience disappear altogether, and he could no longer act like a gentleman.
Oh, God... Nicolae was forced to endure the last fifteen minutes with Louisa's fat hands touching his thigh as if she did it accidentally.
Louisa was very fortunate that she met a man who was so kind and patient as Nicolae, so he tried hard to protect her feelings and not embarrass her by calling out on her behavior. His brother, Alaric, wouldn't hesitate to dismiss Louisa's hand and throw the woman ten meters away to teach her a lesson.
This date from hell was actually based on true story. A guy I knew, told me his horrible experience, going on a date with a girl from a dating website in Singapore.
..
This guy was very good looking, young and quite successful, being a marketing director at the age of 32 in an investment company. He was an Englishman and he was into Asian ladies.
...
After being single for a year, he decided to try his luck and go meet this Asian girl. She looked pretty, young and sexy. They agreed to meet for dinner and a movie in Vivocity, a big mall in Singapore.
...
When he saw her, he was so shocked. She must have given him pictures of her taken 10 years and 20kg ago when they were talking online. But, being a gentleman that he was, he didn't say anything and treated the lady to dinner. During dinner, she turned out to be boring AF too.
...
He was happy when they watched the movie since he didn't need to see her and talk to her for another two hours. When the movie ended, he just wanted to be out of there as soon as possible.
...
The lady kept suggesting to grab drinks in a bar and he politely refused. Finally she said, "Ah, okay. Let's go home. Your place or my place?"
...
He literally needed 5 minutes to make her understand that he wasn't interested in spending the night with her and have sex. And once the realization dawned at her, the woman was furious and called him a jerk for tricking her into thinking that he was into her since he didn't say anything about the deceit and kept treating her well throughout their date.
...
Well, I am sharing this, because the guy's chivalry impressed me. Such a gentleman! Too bad, the lady didn't deserve his kindness.
...
Anyway, Warwick, if you read this, this chapter is inspired by your story. Thank you for sharing. It was funny :).
