“I want to dedicate this next song to a lady who I promised to take out on a lunch date a year ago but due to unforeseen circumstances I’ve been unable to carry out that promise but I’ve checked my diary and I’ve now found some free time. Here’s the song and so I’m really hoping that if that special lady is listening to me right now that you please ring me here at the show and make your special request because you know that if your request is something I can do I will do it. Ciao baby.”
My heart skipped a beat and I felt the butterflies causing chaos in my stomach. I thought there was no way he could be talking about me but when I heard ‘You’re once twice three times a lady’ I started crying.
I rushed downstairs to find the phone. Mom was concerned.
“What’s the matter dear you look all flushed and out of breath and are those tears in your eyes that I can see?”
“It’s alright mom I’ve just swallowed something the wrong way. If you can get me a glass of water I’ll be fine. I’m just taking the phone upstairs because I need to talk to an old friend in private.”
I heard dad say something to mom.
“That’s how she acted when she had a boyfriend to ring. If you ask me she’s back on the dating scene thank God.”
“I wonder who it is.”
“Whoever he is he’s got to be a lot better than the last bastard.”
I smiled at dad’s words and yelled out to him.
“Don’t worry dad he’s in a different universe from that last bastard.”
I rushed back upstairs, lay down on my bed and rang the radio station’s request line.
“It’s about time you rang. I’ve been sitting here by the phone thinking that I’d have to play Lionel Richie over and over again until you rang. Before you say anything Mary I love you and I always have from the moment you first spoke to me at High School. It broke my heart when you married JP. Now you are single and I want you in my arms forever and I promise you I will treat you the way you truly deserve. Please Mother Theresa give me a chance.”
All of a sudden I felt like I was back at High School again and this boy on the other end of the phone was my first and only High School sweetheart.
“Yes dad,” I thought to myself, “this guy is definitely from a whole better universe than the last bastard.”
“Hello, hello, Theresa are you still there?”
“Okay Neil I’ll give you a second chance but you better not leave me waiting any longer for our first lunch date.”
“Tomorrow at dawn through till dusk and I know where your parent’s place is.”
“Don’t be late!”
In an instant I knew my life was going to be fantastic from now on.
