I stand there for another minute, trying to gather my wits before I make my way out to the bus stop on wobbly legs. I make it just in time to catch my bus and take a seat near the front as the bus pulls out into traffic. I stare out the window, trying to make sense of everything.
What the heck just happened?
And what am I going to do about tomorrow night?
SIX
Levi
I can’t describe just how relieved I was when Pia finally texted me back. I was worried that she wouldn’t, and I wasn’t sure what I would do about our date tonight. Luckily, she did and put me out of my misery.
I’m taking that as a good sign. I was worried that I had come on a little too strong in the elevator. Something just came over me, and after spending time with her all week, I couldn’t hold back any longer. I don’t want to be like Adrien and still pining after my assistant in two years.
Speaking of Adrien…
I bring up his number and hit call, adding Theo in once the call connects.
“Hey, what’s up?” Adrien asks.
“She texted me. We’re on for tonight,” I tell them.
“That’s good. Where are you taking her?” Adrien asks.
“Ciao,” I tell them, naming an upscale Italian place nearby.
“Cool. Have fun,” Theo says, obviously distracted.
“Are you at work?” I ask him, and he grunts.
“Dude, you need to get a life,” Adrien tells him.
“For real. Why don’t you call up Clara and see if she wants to go out tonight,” I suggest.
“Not a chance in hell. I have that business trip in a few weeks, and I need to be prepared for it,” he says, obviously trying to change the subject.
“Are you taking Clara with you on this business trip?” Adrien asks, and I can almost picture Theo’s eye twitching.
“Not decided yet. Anyways, have fun tonight, Levi.”
“Thanks. Any tips?” I ask them.
“You want tips on dating from me?” Theo asks like I’m insane, and I roll my eyes. “Man, if you’re coming to me for advice, you’re already screwed.”
“Just be yourself,” Adrien tells me. “She already likes you. You’ll be fine.”
“Yeah, she agreed to the date, so you’re good,” Theo adds.
“Thanks. I’ll tell you all about it on Monday.”
“Can’t wait,” Theo deadpans, and I laugh.
“Enjoy your weekend,” I tell him, and he sighs before he hangs up.
“Have fun, man,” Adrien says, and I smile.
“Thanks. Tell Goldie that I said hi. I’ll talk to you later.”
“Will do.”
