25 January
First Date is a Big Night in Philadelphia
Philip was having a great day. He got off of work early, due to a storm that caused the lights to go out at his business, however Philip loved storms and rain and getting off of work early for any reason. This however, was not the only reason his day was one of the best he’d experienced all year, and true it’s only January, but still, last Friday continued to expand in greatness as the hours progressed. As Philip drove home the rain and wind started to die down and he stopped at the Starbucks on Market Street for a hot latte. This was a standard, or rather periodic late afternoon treat and although Philip loved Starbucks, this still wasn’t the major event that led to it being such a great day.
Just as he passed one of the luxury Philadelphia hotels his cell phone vibrated. He looked over at the hotel, which is the location of his first job and then checked to see who had called. Philip couldn’t believe his eyes, Tammy was actually returning his call. He couldn’t wait to get home to hear the message and pulled over into a Seven Eleven parking lot and even turned off his truck engine and took a few deep breaths before listening to the message. He looked out his windows to make sure no one was watching, just in case he ended up looking like a fool and slowly entered his code to hear the messages.
He loved the sound of her voice and immediately let a small smile slide across his face. Suddenly the message was over and he had to hit replay just to make sure he had heard her correctly. Sure enough, Tammy was agreeing to go out with him the next night. He couldn’t believe it and immediately his stomach turned and he felt a little nauseous, in a good way he thought. He wondered where he could take her and when he got home he tried to remain calm as he told his roommate Jimmy that she had called. Jimmy suggested they go to the Bayou, which was one of his favorite places. Philip liked it too, but wasn’t sure if Tammy liked Cajun food so he didn’t want to take a chance that she would not be happy with that choice. He decided to stick with a more neutral option, but then remembered that she once mentioned she loved Italian food. At once he knew the perfect place and immediately called to make reservations at Ralph’s Italian Restaurant.
