Bruno Santana would rather be anywhere else but on this date, at this
time, with this woman.
“May I take your plates?” Reuben, the waiter, asked the question.
Bruno nodded. “Yes, thank you.”
“Can I interest you in dessert?” The young man rested the dishes on his
forearm.

Bruno dropped his cloth napkin on the table. “Just the che—”
“Oh, I would love dessert!” Teresa, his date, interrupted. “I had my eye
on the red velvet cheesecake. I love red velvet cake and cheesecake, and
that combination is too enticing to resist. You should try it.” Her eyes were
bright and excited.
Normally Bruno loved to see a woman enjoy her food, but he longed for
the evening to end. “You know, I—”
“Or we could share,” Teresa prattled on. “That’s what we’ll do. We’ll
share. That’s so romantic. Us sharing cheesecake on our first date.”
No way.
“You should get it to go,” he suggested.
Her mouth fell open, as if he’d made a suggestion worthy of a Nobel
Prize.
“What a great idea! Can I have two to go? You don’t mind, do you? My
roommate loves that combination, too, and I want to take one for her.”
Bruno forced a smile to his lips. “No, I don’t mind,” he said evenly.
Teresa had ordered appetizers, multiple mixed drinks, and the most
expensive dish on the menu. Now she wanted two desserts. He could afford
the meal, but was making a good first impression no longer a thing? Not for
Teresa and the handful of women he’d taken out in Atlanta, apparently.
He drained his glass of water, listening to her drone on, oblivious he
barely participated in the conversation. Objectively, there was nothing
wrong with her. She was attractive and physically fit, with a hearty appetite
—a characteristic that as a chef he appreciated. She was college educated,
having earned a civil engineering degree from Kennesaw State University.
Yet he felt nothing. Nada. No spark.
She kept talking until the waiter returned with the bill and rescued
Bruno from the incessant gibberish. He placed the bill beside Bruno’s arm
and handed a paper sack to Teresa.
After Bruno paid for the meals, he escorted her toward the exit of the
restaurant with a mounting sense of relief. The date was almost over.
As they neared the door, he sent a text to the chauffeur of the hired car
to meet them at the front. They didn’t have long to wait before a silver SUV
pulled up, and they both climbed in.
Placing her bag of cakes on the floor of the vehicle, Teresa crossed her
shapely legs toward Bruno. Her silky black dress, more like a slip with
spaghetti straps, rode higher on her thigh.
“I had a really good time tonight,” she purred.
“Good.”
He couldn’t bring himself to lie and say he had enjoyed himself. The
goal at this point was to get rid of her as quickly as possible.
When the driver pulled in front of Teresa’s apartment building, Bruno
helped her down from the vehicle and escorted her to the front door with
her cakes in hand.
