Chapter Three: First Date

Even though this whole thing transpired reluctantly on my part I'm actually looking forward to going out on a date with Tim. We didn't waste any time and he purchased tickets to a rock concert featuring several bands we both love. I haven't been to a concert in years.

I put on a pair of capris and a tank top, brilliant blue to match my dark blue eyes. Tim opens his door before I can rap on it. He smiles big, raising an eyebrow in appreciation. "Well, don't you look nice and refreshed," he says as he shuts the door. We pile into his compact SUV and head to the city. Before we reach the coliseum we stop at a steak house for an early dinner.

"Tell me about you, Tim; you know, all the dirty little details, and all I know about you is that you're divorced," I say before I cram a fork full of baked potato into my mouth.

"Mmm, not much to tell. I was married to Katherine for ten years. We have two daughters, both grown now. She wasn't happy; she found another love and divorced me to be with him," he said as he chuckled. "And three years later, same thing happened again, she divorced him and married another. So far she's stuck with this one, but who knows." He shrugged.

I feel sorry for him. He's been alone all that time, no woman to fill his ex-wife's shoes. I knew he had been desperately in love with Katherine, but he had no choice but to get over her. "It seems we are kindred spirits, damaged goods, so to speak," I say, voicing my thoughts.

"Yeah, whatever. I'm over it, moved on," Tim says, smiling at me.

I sit back, full from the steak dinner. The waiter hands us another drink. "So you never wanted to remarry?" I ask, hoping I'm not prying too much.

"Naw, I don't like drama. I enjoy my bachelorhood, actually. I go out on the occasional date. I know how to have a good time. I don't trust women really, though. Katherine sort of broke me from that. Not that I don't trust you," he says.

"But I'm safe," I say. "I'm married and you know there's no chance for a solid long term commitment with me. This is just two people going out and having a good time." I want to make sure he knows that.

Tim smiles and nods. "It's all good," he says. "No worries. But I'm not a love ‘em and leave ‘em type. I realize you are married. I realize you will continue to be married. I just want to offer myself as a buffer until your husband finds his sense again."

The meal ends and we head to the concert. It lasts for three hours and the crowd is a bit younger than we are. It's late and we head back home. Tim was a perfect gentleman during the concert. I don't mind that it seems we're more like good friends than two adults out on a date.
