Dumb And Blind

The riff from a One Hit Wonder of the late 90's broke the silence.


I pulled out my phone and, knowing I couldn't make the situation worse, answered.


"Yes?"


"What the hell are you doing?"


This was said both by my friend on the phone and the woman sitting opposite me, albeit for slightly different reasons.


"What do you mean?"


"How can you be messing up a date this badly?"


This was said by my friend, the blind date was just silently judging me.


"How-"


"Just say this;"


The fact that his words worked made me overlook him watching us.
