PART TWO

I left him and returned home to gear up in black knee ripped high waist skinny jeans, a wool ribbed slouchy sweater top and an oversized cashmere coat. With glossy crimson designer ankle booties, a matching croc-embossed leather gem clutch, and matte lips, my other accent hue was gold... I wore gold aviator sunglasses by Linda Farrow, a pair of round stud earrings, midi rings, a gold-tone antique statement necklace with black and white details, along with a glam-punk bracelet flanking hand-cut crystals. Arriving to the skating rink, there Seth was with six kids. To my surprise they were all his. I then became confused. Not only was he allowing a blind date to meet his kids but 'why so many kids?' I asked in my head. I gave him the benefit of the doubt until he told me they all different mothers. We had a grand time skating but I was not looking to take on a full family at that moment. 

Night time approached quickly and before I knew it I was at a Hawks basketball game with Eric. He was a old as my father. We sat there and talked about how much he remembered being in the same arena watching Michael Jordan play. I was all down for dating, but definitely not a sugar daddy.

At least I was feeling my courtside outfit which included a pair of moto ripped boyfriend jeans, a black knitted jersey blazer, a red strappy backless bodysuit and black Giuseppe Zanotti 'Coline' bandeau mule heels. Around my neck was a black velvet choker and my wrist flaunted a classic golden Rolex. I also sported black and gold diamond shaped earrings, outside cateye sunnies and a black and red lego 'Heart' clutch. 

After the game, I attended a V-Day party with Lamar wearing a Balmain monochrome stretch-knit mini dress with red open-toe tassel ankle cuff high heels. My lips and quilted Chanel shoulder purse glowed a red hot shade as well. With a chain drop necklace to complement the plunging v-cut of my frock, other jewellery articles were a rose gold twin ring, circular diamond trimmed stud earrings and a rose-tone Michael Kors watch. It made me feel comfortable that the party was hosted at one of the hottest clubs in town. Even my friends were there. Dancing and drinking, we partied until 4 in the morning. Luckily, I was sober enough when we were all leaving. Lamar was trying his hardest to get me to go with him and it was pretty obvious that he only wanted a one night stand. I personally don't believe in a guy getting into my pants on the first date so he got nothing but a hit to the face when he began touching me in inappropriate areas.

The following day, which was finally Valentine's Day, I didn't know what to expect at that point. Michael invited me to his home. I have no idea who invites a blind date to their home but I went anyway. 

Dressed in red and white jacquard high waist trousers styled with a white cotton sleeveless button up blouse, I completed the look with a black faux fur scarf and suede and metallic leather ankle strap heels. I carried a sparkly black DVF minaudiere clutch that has a red heart shaped clasp and gold chain straps. My gold-tone stacking bangles, ball drop earring and white diamond ring were also ideal for this fit. At his place, there was actually a family brunch. His parents and siblings were all there and we sat at a beautiful festive table. Decor all around dripped the usual V-day colors and the food was excellent. His mom kept giving the harsh eye, however. Recognizing the pressure I was feeling, he offered to take me for a walk outside but she called him back and told him she needed help cleaning everything up. To my impression, he obviously still lives with his parents and he's the ultimate mommas boy. Total turn-off!

Following the brunch, I went home and transferred into a sophisticated nude-tone Alessandra Rich pin stripe jumpsuit. The bodice was twisted and the bottom was nicely cuffed. I also donned a wool coat with a resembling shade and a rose gold chunky embellished watch. I worked vibrant colors in my accessories. My shoes were navy 'So Kate' Christian Louboutin pumps and my polished shell minaudiere 'Azure' clutch was designed by Rafe Paua. In my ears were maroon and gold tassel drop earrings and I had on a ruby halo diamond ring to go along. Victor had pick me up to go helicopter riding in this. It was my first time in a helicopter and I always wanted to try it. Aside from my slightly embarrassing phobia of heights, I was truly fond of the spontaneous excursion. Something I didn't appreciate, however, was Victor's attitude. He made mention of rolling a 'blunt' once he got off the helicopter and I simply asked him why he smoked. He went on calling me a pretentious bitch and we got into a huge disagreement. After the ride, I was happy to get off. I could not tolerate his disrespect any longer and decided to cut the date short.

Then came the last date of this unbelievable '14 dates' experience. 

I went back home and got ready in a white asymmetric wrap pencil skirt with zipper detail. Straying away from the typical V-day tones, I wore a purple turtle neck cropped top and a Chanel black and metallic clutch. I also put on a pair of grey buckled strappy caged pumps and an ombre black and grey faux fur vest. My hands shimmered with grey crystal leather bracelets and a matching phalanx ring. My earrings were Alexander Mcqueen. Meeting Keith in the city, we did a romantic horse ride and took a tour of the town at night. He brought me a batch of roses and was actually really endearing. He wasn't attractive at all to me though. I guess I wasn't the only one thinking that. He kept telling me how every girl he's dated never found him pleasing to the eye. My mom always told me that personality comes before looks but I believed myself that looks should never be forgotten. 

After the date, he said he would call me but I explained to him exactly how I felt and he understood. I told him that we could be friends so he wouldn't feel that much rejected and he gladly accepted the offer. I then realized through out all of this that I needed to give that Tyler guy a call. He was the only one who I felt deserved another date. I talked to him after Valentine's Day and we've had many more dates since. Luckily, today makes a year we've been together and I'm loving every minute of our relationship.
