10 | A date?

Kim | Trev

❝A date? Why?❞

❝Why do you sound so reluctant?❞

❝No, I mean, I barely know you, Mr Arden. In fact, I only know that your last name's Arden and that your testicle got stuck in a stool. Why would I go on a date with you?❞

❝That's not usually the response I get.❞

❝Okay? Well, I'm not going. I'm deeply sorry for everything that happened but a date is just... too much. I'm pretty sure it violates the company policy too.❞

❝Did you think that I was asking you on a date because I liked you?❞

❝If not?❞

❝Huh. Well, I wasn't.❞

❝Why ask me out on a date then?❞

❝My family has been pestering me for months now to get a girlfriend.❞

❝How does that concern me?❞

❝Ever since that post went viral, it's what I've been seeing on every single dating app. Girls send them to me as a joke. Like, 'Oh my gosh! Have you seen this? How tiny must he be?' ❞

❝Oh my gosh, how did they know that it was you?❞

❝They don't! That's the point!❞

❝I don't understand...❞

❝Long story short, I'd rather go on a date with someone who already knows about it than someone who could find out in the future. I'm sick of defending myself while pretending that it's not me.❞

❝Oh.❞

❝So? You said that I could ask for compensation.❞

❝I'll have to think about it.❞

❝Don't be too long. I have to send a picture of myself on a date for them to stop pestering me.❞

❝Don't you have any female friends?❞

❝No.❞

❝Fine.❞
