Stood up

Date: 4/3/2025

I had gone out on a date with an old high-school boyfriend of mine, Ricky Wysong. He showed up with a single red rose, we danced, talked, walked home in the rain holding hands and laughing. We had an amazing time, and set up another date. The day of our next date, I was dancing around my room getting ready, talking to myself, giggling, in an amazing mood. My mum asked me if I had someone in the room with me. I gave her a smart-ass answer, saying, "Yeah mum. And he's sneaking out the tiny bathroom window as we speak. He's gonna jump from the 2nd story and run off.". I rolled my eyes and continued with a laugh, "no. Ofc I don't hv anyone in here." I continued getting ready for my date. I put on a long tight-fitting pastel pink dress with spaghetti straps (like what I wore to prom, but without the small pink boa type stuff on the front, and twisted my hair up. I walked out of my room and my mum said I looked beautiful. I waited for Ricky to pick me up. But he never showed. I tried texting, but got no reply. For some reason I put a black short sleeved t-shirt beneath my dress, and black sneakers on. I figured if he showed up, I cd just take the t shirt off, but if he didn't, then I'd already be dressed for bed or lounging or whatever when I slid the dress off. It's getting later and later, and I resigned myself to the fact that I got stood up, plopping onto the couch with a tub of ice cream. Suddenly, he showed up. But he had his wife and a kid or two with him. He was talking to my mom abt some kitchen work or something like that she wanted done, and acted like he didn't even know me. I was hanging around in the kitchen with them, and when I was close enough to Ricky (and his family was far enough away), I loudly whispered very angrily, "You stood me up! You ghosted me or whatever! WTH?!" Neither one of us had a chance to say anything else. Someone else said something to the room, and I just laughed along, pretending everything was okay....
