” I said, “Ok thanks for the invitation but I’ll need to discuss it with my friend. If we don’t show up in the next 10 minutes then we’re no... interested.”I then told you what he said. At that time you were even getting excited but also hesitant. I even started having 2nd thoughts not knowing what to expect and plus the fact is he's just a stranger. Like I always do, I talked you into going. I said how bad could he be, he was driving BMW dressed in a suit, he looked clean cut enough. I told you.
