In spite of all that, she had been waiting for Ram to call her and she was disappointed that he chose to text instead. Pam told her that if a guy really liked you, he would pick up the phone and call instead of texting. So, she didn’t respond right away to see what he’d do. A few minutes later when her phone rang, it was him.
“Hello,” she answered.
“What are you doing?”
“Honestly, I was waiting for you to call me.”
“Is that why you didn’t hit me back?”
“That’s exactly why.”
He paused. “I like that, Barbara. I like a woman that has standards and stands by them.”
Barbara smiled. “So, what’s up?”
“I wanted to talk to you.”
“Okay. What you want to talk about?” she asked like her time was valuable and she had none to waste.
“Seeing that I like talking face-to-face, especially when it’s a pretty face like yours,” Ram paused to see if Barbara would say anything to that, but she didn’t. “I called to see if you wanted to go out with me sometime.”
Barbara wanted to jump for joy, but instead she remained cool. “When we talking about?”
“How about tomorrow?”
She paused. “I’m free then.”
“Cool. Where you want me to scoop you up from?”
“Uhhhh, it might be best if I meet you somewhere.”
Ram laughed. “You right … you right. What about this then, meet me at my spot at six thirty.”
“You mean the house I met you?” Barbara asked tentatively, but she was thinking, oh hell no.
After what happened with Jolina, she didn’t want to be a victim. Barbara thought about the fact that Jolina wanted it.
But still …
“Yeah.”
“I am not Jolina, so I hope you’re not thinking anything like that is gonna happen. If it is, we can just end this conversation right now,” Barbara told Ram.
“Naw, it’s not like that at all. I wanna get to know you, Barbara, so I’ma take you someplace nice to have dinner.”
“Really?” she questioned calmly, but Barbara was excited that he wanted to get to know her and not just use her like his boys used Jolina.
“Yeah, really. So, wear something real pretty.”
“Okay,” she said with a sense of relief. But she knew that she would still have to be on guard. Fact was, Barbara didn’t really know Ram or anything about him other than she thought he was fine. But he was older than her; older than anyone that she had ever gone out with and his expectations of her might be more than she was ready for.
“And Barbara?”
“Yes?”
“I’m kinda excited about spending some time with you alone.”
“Me too. Bye, Ram.”
