Birthday Dinner And A Bill Mix Up (Part 4) – Mad Chaos: January 15, 1999

A Change Of Plans

Before Lyssa arrived I booked our table knowing we would have a half an hour wait and just after that Lyssa arrived. Waving to her mum in the car goodbye Lyssa and I sat out the front on the seats as she lit herself up her smoke. While smoking and having ourselves a conversation Lyssa started asking what we were doing later. Knowing not what Lyssa was getting to until she started mentioning Penelope I gathered that Penelope wanted to go out with her.

“Aren’t you going to sleep over” I asked Lyssa. “Of course I am” Lyssa replied “But Penelope bought three hundred dollars worth of new clothes and she wanted to go out tonight and when I told her I had a dinner plan with you she gave me that attitude.” Lyssa explained the situation and how she would only be out for two hours but she insisted “Only if it’s alright with you, I don’t want you to get angry over it.”

Penelope Cuts The Night Short

To tell you the truth, now as I look at the picture, my leniency towards Lyssa cutting short out night for two hours was the best thing that could have happened. If it wasn’t for Penelope wanting to be selfish on my birthday I would never have had the chance to come home and write in my Diary before Lyssa came over and Lyssa would never have mentioned wanting to go down on me.

The reason Lyssa brought that up in topic was when we had finished eating and were outside for Lyssa to have another smoke. Lyssa had called Penelope from Sizzlers (We had to walk all the way over there for a phone) and they made plans for Penelope to pick up Lyssa at 10:00 p.m. from Chili’s. That pissed me off because I didn’t want to be embarrassed or shamed to see Penelope, I just didn’t want to see her period.

I vowed to stay with Lyssa until 9:50 p.m. and that’s when the music came to my ears. “I would do anything for you if you stayed with me for another five minutes, anything” Lyssa uttered emphasizing the ‘Anything’ portion. The second time she ran that line past me I started thinking about what that anything could be and Lyssa said it in such a tone that was trying to put her point across of the anything, as if she knew exactly what I was thinking.

Anything For Five Minutes

“What do you want” Lyssa asked and with that I almost came to attention with my words “You know what would put a smile on my face.” Lyssa then made my face light up and a giggle ensued as she informed me that she would go down on me for the night granted that I wash my partner thoroughly. Let me tell you, that was definitely worth the extra five minutes, just hearing Lyssa sounding so benefiting.

So I did stay with Lyssa for an extra ten minutes as we chatted away, chatted away. Some things that we talked about both inside and out was how she didn’t get to show me the pictures of Ali’s birthday night at Penrith Panthers. “They don’t all have Ali in them” she said, “I’ll show you the ones with just me and my friends in them.” Lyssa then informed me that there was one picture of Imad and her in there where he was behind her.

Lyssa was trying to stay away from Imad for the whole night but in this picture she has a huge smile and is laughing with a grin on her face and Imad is in the background. Supposedly he’s walking but the expression on his face and the position where his hand is behind her back suggests that he’s going to pinch her on the ass or something or by Lyssa’s expression already has.

Gossip About Old Friends

On top of that Lyssa mentioned that Imad usually smokes with Ali and his now best friend Stan. Lyssa bit her tongue when she said that and furthering a question I queried “What, you mean pot.” Lyssa bit her tongue again but then informed me that Imad smokes pot now with the two of them and frequent also making Imad a substantial friend also to Stan, good on him.

None of that bothered me as I don’t really care that Imad smokes pot. Lyssa also told me how Imad put a bunger in her smoke and when she was putting it down to ash it the bunger went off. It singed her finger and caused her minor pain but Lyssa told me she was lucky it wasn’t in her mouth at the time. Naturally Lyssa was startled to see a smoke there at one instant and then nothing the next but if something had happened to Lyssa’s teeth or if her mouth had become scarred all I can say is that Imad would probably have been in a bigger mess than Ali is now.

Sure it would have been funny but if something happened more than a singed hand, that won’t be funny. Imad didn’t apologize either but since when has he been the one to do that. Instead, Penelope and Ali apologized for him.

Nachos And Fish

The food we had was some Nacho’s with avocado dip and some sour cream dip or something. That was our entrée which pretty much filled me half up but the battered and crumbed fish that I had after that with a side dish of chips with their own dip was all the more special. There was also a corn cob there and my drink of orange juice and I must admit I was treated to some fine food.

The funny thing though was that when Lyssa went to visit the toilet the girl serving us stopped her to mention that she loved her shoes. That is something I said to Lyssa three times in the night, twice before the girl mentioned and once after. On top of that I’ve been saying these particular high heels have looked great on Lyssa for such a long time now, they are old. On top of that Lyssa was wearing some new three quarter pants that she bought along with a black top which looked very hot.

Lyssa looked superbly skinny in her outfit, she looked beautiful and sparkling. I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before but Lyssa hasn’t worn her hair out for the past three or so weeks and tonight I was hoping she would. Well, that did happen and Lyssa looked all the more special for it, it really complemented her clothing. Lyssa on the other hand couldn’t stop complaining about her ankles and how her fake tan didn’t work that good.

Personally, I couldn’t see anything wrong with them and who would look there anyway.

Who Pays The Bill

Here’s something… When our food was devoured (Where Lyssa left her hamburger and most of her chips on the plate) the girl went to get us our bill. We both asked for the bill but when the girl came to hand the bill to us she flashed it towards Lyssa and then placed it on the table facing her.

Now Lyssa didn’t notice this at first with the book closed and all but when I opened it up how the girl serving us gathered Lyssa was paying. “I don’t believe that” Lyssa mouthed, “Usually common sense would tell you that the guy is the one to pay, I wonder why she’d done that.” My guess was because she liked Lyssa’s shoes and with that I made a jest.

“If I was still going out with you” I told her, “Whenever we would go to restaurants and we were both working we should leave the paying up to the person that receives the bill at hand.” Lyssa and I made more of a joke about this as we basically said we would both look away and avoid eye contact with our waitress as she was doing her job, wouldn’t that confuse her and make her wonder.

Waiting For Later

Now a bit more information before I end my night as the time is now 12:22 a.m. and Lyssa is set to come over within half an hour, maybe an hour depending. Tonight I could have gone out with Keith and the rest of them to see Noah off who would also be at the Catholic Club but I know this is much better, very much, even without the added bonus.

Tomorrow I still have no clue on to what’s going on because I called Keith today but as usual he had to get back to work very quick. In that time I asked him if anything was happening tomorrow but he didn’t say more than a couple of words to suggestions way.

Some more information Lyssa told me while we were waiting for Penelope to pick her up is that she is giving her car away to her mum so she most probably won’t drive it anymore. That’s a good thing because I think I saw her car on Queen Street with Stan driving it, I’m not sure though.

Lyssa also informed me how she is headed to her friend Gideon’s birthday party and once again it’s going to be at Penrith Panthers. They booked 5 rooms for the night and considering they are small houses plenty of people will have a spot. Ali and Penelope aren’t going and thank god I can look at pictures without having to fret about it.

Walking Away In The Dark

When my time came to head off I gave Lyssa a kiss on the cheek in her somber mood, thanked her for the second time for caring enough to take me out for my birthday and then regretfully I was on my way. Lyssa sat near Chili’s on the bench in darkness gilded by the outside lights. Her blonde hair illuminate as I headed over the gorge of flowers waving to her distance after distance, step after step I peered.

Lyssa did look sad to see me go and leave her alone and in the time I was walking away I wanted to head back because I couldn’t see Penelope in any hurry but I didn’t want to get seen. How bad is it on me that I don’t have a car to drive Lyssa around but I have to watch Lyssa get picked up by one of my enemies in something I crave. On top of that I didn’t want Penelope to see me heading across the road to catch a train so I made my way and kept walking until I reached the train station.

One there it was a relatively easy trip home where I got here near 11:00 p.m. Now Lyssa gave me money to rent a movie but considering the place was closed I didn’t get to do that. She knew the risks and I think she knew not to count on a movie. I know that I’m going to get so satisfied tonight but apart from that we can watch television, watch a movie of my own and play a game on the computer together.

Not to mention, tonight we can fall asleep together, me in her hands and her in mine. Wait up, hold on, she has her periods and she’s already shown me how bitchy she can be tonight so let’s just see what happens with that bitchiness when we get to sleep. We all know that Lyssa’s a bitch when she’s asleep and especially if I try to get her to lie on the floor with me but she can’t help that, or can she…
