“Yes!” Kat is clearly getting excited at the idea. “You guys can double.”
“A double-blind date sounds like a bad Rom-Com,” I moan.
“It sounds like an awesome Rom-Com!” Lexie gushes, clearly a lot happier about it than I am.
“You’re just agreeing with everything Kat says,” I say to Lexie.
She shrugs her shoulders in return.
“Fine. I will call Alex and tell him I want him to set me up in return for my setting him up. Happy?”
“Very,” Kat sighs.
Lexie just claps her hands, a huge grin overtaking her face.
“So, what do I get if I do this?”
“We’ll never bug you about it again,” Kat says.
“And if I don’t go through with it?”
“You’ve got to donate your Louboutin’s to a homeless woman on the street,” Lexie declares.
“That’s perfect!” Kat says.
“Jeez. Harsh. When did you get such brass balls?” I ask Lexie. She just smirks.
“It’s perfect!” Kat cries.
“And you’ve got to set it up this week.” Lexie pounds the final nail in my coffin.
Fuck me.
“Fine,” I say. “I’ll reach out to Alex and have a date set up before the weekend.”
I log off the chat session without saying goodbye. I know it’s petty. But I feel bested by Kat and that pisses me off. Just because she’s all happy in a relationship, doesn’t mean everyone else has to be.
