JOEL- “Did I do something??”

TARIC- “No Joel...well kind of.  By introducing me as your boyfriend, it was quite uncomfortable, but it’s all okay.  I just don’t do weddings very well.  I probably should not have agreed to come as your date.  We should do something else. I will call you.”

JOEL- “Yeah, I’ve heard that one before.  But okay I understand. Good luck Taric, and I do hope you call me again.”

With that, Taric calls UBER and get’s a ride back to his apartment.

Two dates down, two to go....

SAM- “Bi-sexual here, and Joel and I were nothing, but a hook up, here and there. Nothing serious.  That’s the way Joel operates. Nothing serious, that way he doesn’t get his heart broke again.”

TARIC- “Oh, I see.”

SAM- “I mean he is a great guy and like I said, he can do some amazing things in the bed....but after Cale, he has had a hard time.”

TARIC- “Cale?”

SAM- “Yeah they were together for quite a while, and he was killed in a car accident.  The boy never got over it.....Anyway, now that I know you and Joel aren’t like together, want to exchange numbers??”

TARIC- “Seriously???  You JUST got married....

Taric gets up and heads towards the reception.....

Joel Carter’s 2nd Date Begins tomorrow...

By random draw, Joel is the second date to get their 2nd Date!

JOEL-(trying wink at Taric, but failing miserably) “Yeah we’ve been dating a while. He is in computers.”

DIXIE- “Joel...I think you have something in your eye, it keeps twitching.”

TARIC- “It’s a pleasure to meet you Dixie. The teeth was wonderful...I MEAN the WEDDING was wonderful!”

JOEL- “There you are!!  So you okay?”

TARIC- “Yeah....”

JOEL- “You don’t seem okay.”

TARIC- “Dixie’s husband...he just hit on me!”

JOEL- “Sounds like Sam. He must like you.”

TARIC- “Okay that is just ...really uncomfortable.  I think I am going to go, Joel.”

JOEL- “Hey, Taric, it’s Joel, Joel Carter...”

TARIC- “Hey Joel, how are you doing. Sorry I haven’t called, I started a new job and I’ve just been really busy...”

JOEL- “Not a problem, but I was calling to see if you  would like to go on another date.“

TARIC- “Definitely!! What and when were you thinking?”

JOEL- “Well, I have this family wedding to go to Friday....my cousin is getting married....I was hoping you could go as my date...there is going to be a live band, and a full bar.”

TARIC- “A wedding, well...okay sure, sounds like fun.”

JOEL- “GREAT!!  I will pick you up Friday, say around 5:30?”

TARIC- “I look forward to it!!”

JOEL- “It’s semi formal, so just a suit jacket would be fine.”

TARIC- “Oh, hey Sam.  Nothing just needed to get some air.”

SAM- “You are telling me.  Try being the groom.  Her family is crazy. So you and Joel...serious?”

TARIC- “Actually I don’t really know at this point Sam. I mean we have been on a couple dates.”

SAM- “Oh, so you are not like boyfriends then?”

TARIC- “No, not at all. He said he told people that so that he wouldn’t have to answer a lot of questions...I don’t know it sounded a little absurd.”

SAM- “Yeah, Joel is a little absurd, but a great guy. And great in the sack.”

SAM- “Taric, what an unusual name. Nice to meet you Taric.”

JOEL- “He is my boyfriend...”
