“Not until the end of the week.”
“Oh.”
“Seems I have to cancel our date.”
“I understand.”
“Seems we just got started and…”
“Phillippe, it’s not a big deal, really.”
“But…”
“I understand work comes first.
“No, it’s a priority, but you come first.”
“Phillippe, I told you, I’m not like the other women you’ve been with. I don’t expect you to feel bad about canceling on me for work At least not now.” I feigned a laugh. “We…this thing is just starting. We don’t even know where it’s going…if it’s going.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“It means, we’ve only been on one date.”
“Officially.” One date and it’s already causing problems. “Mon amour…”
“Yes.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” I sighed.
“Okay.” He cleared his throat. “I have got a list for you.”
“A list?”
“Yes.”
“So I take it I’m now speaking with my boss?”
“Exactly, Miss Townsend.”

I looked out the window while processing the first part of my conversation with Gabriella. When I put her in the car last night, she was fine. If it hadn’t been for this crap with Seattle, I wouldn’t have sent her home when I did.
Considering her confession about not trusting herself to be alone with me, maybe it was a good thing we ended the evening a little early. Maybe that’s why she sounded upset. It wasn’t my intention to end our date so early, but it couldn’t be helped.
I’m not going to push her, but this is not the way to start a relationship. Maybe I should call her back. I picked up my phone and started to text her.
“What’s up man?”
I sighed staring at my phone. “I uhm…”
“What’s wrong?”
