After learning that Rain had a successful date, I decided that it was my turn to take Lia out. I had something in mind. It was a bit of an odd date—the two of us were going to play chess. Or I was going to invite her out to play chess.
Chess was an awesome game that I loved. I tried to teach some of my friends the game, but only Michael was interested and now he had kids. Colby just didn’t want to waste time on it, Matt had no patience and Rain was well… Rain.
If Rain ever came to me and said that he wanted to learn chess, I think I might die from shock.
“I’m taking you out,” I said.
She blinked. “Okay… where?”
“The park,” I replied, dropping my hands into my pockets.
Her head tilted slightly. “Just the park?”
I nodded. “Yeah. We’re going to learn how to play chess.”
