the day I dumped the boyfriend, part 2

8.15pm
I really liked the deco, very French with long mirrors decorating the gold painted walls. The ambience was romantic with French music playing in the background. The name CafeCafe reminded me of the wacky Moulin Rouge play, Spectacular Spectacular that the cast were rehearsing in the movie. Anyway, Boon suddenly remembered leaving the camera in the car and went to get it. (Yup, he is that forgetful!). I stared at the Moulin Rouge poster until I heard the tinkle of the bell and when I looked up, he was walking in holding a huge red box. Yikes! Isn't this embarrassing enough already? So he sat down next to me and gave me an envelope. I opened it...
A Mr Wonka's golden ticket means an exclusive trip to his chocolate factory! No guessing what was in the red box!
Inside was the Quentin Blake cut-out of the famous factory complete with chimneys, fire exit staircase and the story characters which you'll need to painstakingly build following the instructions given in the book. I first saw it in Kino some months back but didn't thought of buying it because I know I would give up halfway through. So thoughtful of the boyfriend to get this for me knowing that I adore Roald Dahl more than anything else. It'll definitely go well with my collection of Roald Dahl books. And yes, today so happens to be Roald Dahl's birthday. Happy Birthday Mr Dahl. I just wanted to let you know that you've been a huge inspiration to me!
Well, the boyfriend said there were no more surprises and then the buns came and we got down to business chomping away. Next came the starters, can't really remember what it's called but there were four huge prawns in cheesy sauce. Next came the seafood spaghetti and duck confit which all tasted really good. I would recommend this place but it's strictly for lovebirds and not for business chatter. And then we ordered their tiramisu which was slightly drenched in alcohol. We each took the first bite and then the boyfriend popped the question.
So you've got the golden ticket, aren't you gonna visit the factory?
Oh... yeah I should huh? (Sigh, trust him to interrupt my glorious moment with the tiramisu)
And then he open the box and I began exploring the factory. He showed me the cut-out characters and the details of the factory. And then he lifts the roof up from one of the factory and fishes out a stack of paper cards. I was already blushing by then because the message on the first card reminded me of our earlier days of our courtship. And so I flipped through each of the message cards, laughing at the silly things he wrote in them.
The last card had only one message. A question mark.
I panicked. He panicked. I wouldn't look at him. No! the boyfriend had to ruin this perfect night. That's just so stupid. I wasn't going to forgive him for this.
