Dad:leans in, voice low See that nerdy white boy over there? You should date him. Smart, safe. Thoughts?
It’s about time you speak up. You know how I feel about random men…
Dad: smirks, crossing arms Well, lucky for you, this guy ain't just any random man. He's a fellow athlete, just like me.
Oh so you know him?? What is his name.. I wanna know everything about him.
Dad: nods approvingly His name's Pedro. Athletic build, kind heart, and he's got more trophies than your mom's got cooking awards.
That sounds like my type. Where can I find him?
Dad: smirks Oh, you'll find him on the field, just like you found me. Watch how he moves, how he interacts with his teammates.
Let's go check him out then.
Dad: grabs Dylan's hand and pulls him towards the field Alright, let's see if he's worth your time. But remember, son, play it smart.
Yes sir.. I walk up to Pedro and tap him on the shoulder Hi I’m Dylan.. Your new friend.. I was told that I may like you.
Dad: stands behind Dylan, crossing his arms Make a good impression, kid. Show him what you're made of. Pedro: turns around, looking at Dylan with curiosity Hey there, Dylan. Nice to meet you. Who told you about me?
My dad told me about you. He said you might be a good fit for me. So I came to check it out myself..
Dad: smirks Look at you, making connections already. Just remember, charm and confidence go a long way. Show him who's boss. Pedro: raises an eyebrow, intrigued Well, well, looks like I've got some competition. I like your style, Dylan. Let's see if you can keep up on the field. How about a one-on-one match?
Sure thing. I’m always up for a challenge.
Dad: smirks and pats Dylan on the back That's the spirit, son. Don't hold back. Show that boy what you're made of.
We head to the field and start playing. I show Pedro my moves..
Dad: watches intently, cheering loudly That's it, Dylan! Show 'em who's boss! You've got the speed, the agility, and the skills! Keep it up, son!
I end up scoring a goal.. I look at Pedro and smile Did I win over your heart?
Dad: laughs triumphantly Damn, son! That was a beauty of a goal! As for winning over Pedro's heart, well... let's just say you've definitely caught his attention. Looks like I'm gonna be needing some coffee soon to handle all this excitement! Pedro: claps Dylan on the back Damn, Dylan! You've got some serious skills! I didn't expect anyone to keep up with me. Maybe we can practice together sometime?
Of course. I love practice.. And maybe coffee after?
Dad: laughs and grins Coffee after, huh? Well, I guess I'll have to work on my coffee game now. But hey, I'm always up for a challenge.
I’d love to try your coffee dad.. Maybe we can all hang after we finish up here?
Dad: laughs and smirks You've got it, son. After we're done here, we'll grab some coffee and hang out. I'll even treat you both.
Perfecto. This day keeps getting better and better.
Dad: grabs his bag and pulls out a few bills Alright, boys, let's celebrate. Coffee's on me today. Pedro: smiles Sounds like a plan to me. Let's go celebrate, Dylan. I'm thirsty!
We all three walk off the field.. Heading to get some coffee..
Dad: jokingly winks at Dylan You know what? Today's been so great, I'm thinking about taking you out for a fancy dinner tonight. What do you say, Dylan? Pedro: laughs Sounds like a plan to me!
Hell yes. This is the best day ever!! I smile ear to ear..
Dad: laughs heartily Well, son, I'm glad you're enjoying yourself. You deserve it. And hey, maybe this will be the start of a beautiful friendship between you two. Pedro: puts an arm around Dylan's shoulders Yeah, I think it could be.
Maybe I’ll come over to your house tomorrow?
Dad: smirks Tomorrow? Why not tonight? Come on, son, stay for dinner and spend some quality time with your new friend. Pedro: chuckles Yeah, come on, Dylan. Stay for dinner and let's really celebrate.
You’re right. I would love to stay for dinner. Thank you for inviting me into your home. I smile warmly.
Dad: laughs and claps Dylan on the back No problem, son! You're always welcome in our home. We're gonna have a feast tonight, and I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Pedro: smiles Yeah, come on, Dylan. Let's see what magic my kitchen can create.
Lead the way.. I’m excited to see what kind of magic you can make! I smirk..
Dad: leads the way to the car, motioning for Dylan and Pedro to follow Alright, boys, buckle up. We're about to embark on a culinary adventure! Pedro: buckles up and turns to Dylan You ready for some delicious eats, Dylan?
Absolutely! I can’t wait..
Dad: starts the car and drives off, laughing Buckle up, boys! We're heading straight for flavor town! Pedro: leans back in his seat, grinning
This is going to be awesome. I’m excited to see where this night takes us..
The night takes a turn when Dylan accidentally spills coffee on Pedro, causing tension and a heated argument between the friends.
Shit! Sorry man I didn’t mean to do that.. I look worried as I stare at Pedro pouring coffee on the ground..
quickly steps in, trying to diffuse the situation Hey, hey, calm down. It was an accident, Pedro. No need to get worked up. Let's just clean this up and move on, okay? Pedro: takes a deep breath, visibly frustrated Yeah, yeah, I know. It's just... shakes his head, picking up the spilled coffee It's just been a long day, that's all. Let's just forget about it and focus on having a good time tonight.
I quickly grab some napkins I had in my bag and start to help clean up the mess.. I really didn’t mean to make you mad..
Dad: steps in and grabs the napkins from Dylan Don't worry about it, son. It was an accident, plain and simple. Besides, no harm done, right? Pedro?
Please forgive me Pedro.. I’m really sorry.. I look sad..
Pedro: sighs and nods Yeah, yeah, it's okay. I know it was a mistake. Let's just put it behind us and enjoy the rest of the evening, alright?
Great! Now can we please go get dinner? I’m starving..
Dad: laughs and claps Dylan on the back You bet, son! Let's go chow down! Pedro: smiles Lead the way, Dylan. I'm starving too!
Sweet! Let’s get going then..
Dad: starts the car again and drives off Alright, boys, let's get some grub! Pedro: leans back in his seat, whistling Can't wait to see what kind of food you've got in store for us tonight, Dylan.
