I ordered a glass of wine, and order an appetizer since Joe appeared to be running late. I contemplate our two previous dates. I think he is not going to last through this one, he has shown no sign of being anything but vanilla.
I know from experience no matter how much I like someone, not sharing the desire for d/s will ruin the relationship. I am going to discuss it with him after dinner. There are worse things than dumping someone on Valentine's day.
My phone vibrated with a text, he is outside looking for parking. I take a deep breath to calm my irritation, who was late for a Valentines date? This was pushing it, part of the special Valentines day reservation stated that if you were over ½ hour ordering the main course you would be asked to leave.
I finished my first glass of wine, and ordered another while I pick at the appetizer. I was rehearsing the after dinner conversation in my head and wasn't paying attention to the time. A waiter cleared his throat to get my attention.
"I am sorry Madam, but the reservation offered to you specified that you had to order within a half an hour." He said. "It is a very busy night for us, and we are over booked."
I look down at my phone for the time. Gosh darn it where is he? Interesting I blame him instead of being worried; but he is very flaky. Well, the silver lining is I don't have to dump him for the d/s issue.
A tall dark man in a suit approached, "Does there seem to be a problem?"
"Yes, sir she reached the time limit." The waiter said.
"I think if you go check the books, she has this table all night." The stranger says.
"Yes, Sir." The waiter says.
"We will have the special, and please bring us a bottle of the special wine." The
Stranger says.
He sits down in across from me. I realize that he looks familiar, then recognition dawns. It is Glen. I had been talking to him six months ago. Talking from a d/s site.
We were in negations about meeting when he said he had a business trip out of the country. Then I never heard from him.
"You. What makes you think, I want to have dinner, after you blew me off?" I say.
"I owe you an apology. I know it sounds far-fetched, but I got Malaria and was in the hospital for three months due to complications. I was delirious, and once was coherent had no way to contact you." Said Glen, "then I came back and saw your status had changed and you were dating a vanilla. I read your blog about how you were pretty sure it wasn't going to work, so I had one of my reservation specialist call you with this special offer."
"Your blog mentioned what dating site you met him on, so I found a picture of him, had the hostess watch out for him. I met him outside and bribed him to leave. He really was easy, only cost me $200, I put your worth way above that." He explains.
Despite my fascination to understand why he would go to all this trouble. I realize the correct thing to do is storm off in anger.
I put my hand on my purse, and he covers my hand.
"Now before you storm off in pretend anger, remember your biggest turn on is being dominated. I am your dominant claiming my submissive from a threat. Sit down and have a glass of wine while you consider." He tells me.
