and relaxed back into his seat. “I was in prison.”
My brain didn’t register the words at first because of the way he had said them as easily and smoothly as you would tell a friend “I was on holiday”, or “I was taking a vacation” or something like that.
I was still trying to ruminate on this when I heard a loud wail. I looked up, and was startled out of my wits to see him crying loudly. A grown man that looked the way he did crying like that? It was pathetically hilarious as well as the most ironic thing I had ever seen.
“I need help, Rita, darling,” he said then, while staring intently at me.
I was confused, really confused at this point. How the hell could I help this man-child? The next moment, he said:
“The bank will take my Porsche away! I really do not want to lose it. Please help!”
I was perplexed. He kept on staring while I looked around the food court with the hope that he wasn’t attracting attention. I was wrong, people were staring. I couldn’t blame them. I would stare if I were in their position too. After a while, he finished crying, looked straight into my eyes and asked a question I will never forget:
“Do you want a good job in Switzerland?”
My immediate thought was,
You gotta be kidding me!
He was not joking. His face was as serious as it could be, and I was mortified and angry at the same time. Well, I wanted a fit man and got him alongside several other packages that I definitely was not interested in. I stared at him with wonder for a few minutes while he looked at me with great expectation showing on his face.
I then quietly picked up my bag and walked out of the place. I didn’t need a good job in Switzerland, thank you very much.
I learnt a valuable lesson that day. Some people are just on dating sites to meet gullible girls that they could offer “career opportunities” to. Boris had definitely been one of those people. I laughed to myself as I headed back to my apartment. That had been an experience I wasn’t counting on; however, it had not been totally unpleasant either.
I still have my profile on the dating site, and I am still as sporty as ever. I hope to find the guy I am looking for in the nearest future, and, hopefully, he won’t offer me any career opportunity like the one Boris had suggested.
(Switzerland is too cold for me. Perhaps in Florida …)
