I am sitting in a bar waiting for Mia to arrive, but how did I get here?
Well, we'd been chatting online through a swingers site, and it turned out we were both in the same place at the same time, and we both had some free time. So I suggested we meet up for a drink. I said I would love to be the Vincent Vega to her Mia Wallace.
She messages to say she is on route, and having positioned myself in a quietish corner, but with sight of the entrance I watch and wait in anticipation, looking up every time somebody enters, whilst trying not to be too obvious.
The door to the bar opens, and in walks a lady who looks similar to the profile picture I have seen. But those profile pictures are never really very good anyway, are they?
I sit at my table and watch as the lady is shown to a table of her own by one of the staff. She gets out her mobile phone and seems to be checking her messages.
This must be her I think.
I send a message from my phone, but there is no response. So I decide to go over...
"Mia Wallace, I presume!" I say.
The lady looks at me confused. I say, "I'm Vince Vega!" but she still looks confused.
"You're not Mia Wallace then?"
"No!" she says, and I sheepishly return to my seat.
I check my phone again to find a message saying that the real Mia is just around the corner and will be with me soon.
A few minutes later, the real Mia Wallace enters the room and I recognise her straight away. We smile at each other and she takes the seat next to me.
