So I kept sharing interesting information about the chronological order of ship development with her for another hour until we finished our boat ride.
We were about to have dinner in the restaurant, as was planned, but Angelica said that she had a bad toothache and she needed to go to a dentist.
I felt very sorry for her and offered to give her a ride to the dentist in my car, but she said that she was able to drive herself.
In the evening when I called her, she said that her teeth are in very bad condition and all her Saturdayevenings for the next six months will be busy because she will be visiting her dentist. So unfortunately, she couldn't date me during that time, but she said she would behappy to go on a date in six months and asked me to call her then.
I didn’t bother Angelica for the next six months, I didn’t want her to think that I am too annoying, but I marked everyday on my calendar and waited for those six months to end.
Half a year passed and exactly on that day I called Angelica. She said that she couldn’t date me anymore, because she is already engaged to another man.
I was completely surprised to hear that! When I told this story to my friend Vedrana, complaining about how Angelica could be engaged if all her Saturday evenings had been busy with the dentist, Vedrana said that it was impossible. But then she supposed that Angelica got engaged to her dentist.
I had nothing to do, so I decided to invite another girl on a date.
