Blind Date

Packing the essentials, phone, wallet and keys into their assigned pockets he once again left his apartment, opting to walk to try and keep his emerging anxieties in check as he made his way towards his blind date.
As he arrived he scanned the restaurant, not spotting any lone females he assumed, correctly, that he was here first. A waiter directed him to a table and he ordered a glass of water, checking his phone he noted that he was around five minutes early, so he tried to relax, though his gaze kept flickering towards the door.
Eight o'clock came and went, so did five past, so did ten past. He was starting to feel his anxiety turn into embarrassment, unsure how to feel about being stood up on a blind date, unsure of what he could say to Anne on Monday.
"Your table," the waiter said, extending a hand towards his own.
He looked up and froze, mouth half open.
Before him stood a woman, about his age and wearing a long sleeved deep red high neck blouse and knee length skirt, she struck an image that was in one instant both awe inspiring and inspiring of dread.
He immediately knew she was way of his league for a number of reasons.
First and foremost, she was just gorgeous. She had long red hair that she had, he assumed, used curlers on to give it a wavy effect, her green eyes were simply captivating and her body was so perfect as to be of mythical status. She was at the same time both slender and curvy, thin waisted but sporting a full bust, her legs long and her skin light and unblemished.
Second but of no less impact on his chances with her, he knew, was her name.
"Claire?" he said, though he was not so bereft of his wits in his surprise that he neglected to stand, stepping around the table to pull her chair out for her.
"Hey Anthony, I hope I'm not too late! Time got away from me." she explained apologetically as she gratefully took her place, her eyes tracking him all the way as he made his way back to his own seat.
"Uh, no you're not too late." he said lamely as he practically stared at her, awkward in his surprise and uncertainty.
