Replaying the night and why she had gotten angry with me, I instinctively pr
essed call and then put the phone to my ear as I laid down on my King Size bed.
What are the odds she would pick up a call from an unknown number? This was probably…
“Hello?”
The sound of her voice captivated me as I laid back with one hand behind my head and the other holding the phone.
“Hey, it’s me. I wanted to check in to see you got back okay?”
“Who is this?”
“Me. Austin. Your white knight.”
“I was practically on my lawn when you left. Of course I’m fine.?”
“Good to know you appreciate the gesture.”
“How did you get my number?”
“Does it matter?” I asked. “You doing okay? Those fucks better not try anything else.”
“I’m fine. A little busy though. I’m knee deep studying for a pop quiz tomorrow.”
“How is it a pop quiz if you know about it?”
“Well, it wasn’t officially announced, but I’ve caught on to the professor’s patterns.”
“Ah, smart woman.”
“I bet you don’t have much experience with that, do you??” she asked.
“I spend the majority of my free time chasing guys. It’s nice not having to chase women too. But…”
I stopped talking.
“What?”
“Nevermind. It’s pointless,” I said.
“Come on, Austin. Don’t play games. It’s late and I’m busy.”
“I was thinking of asking you to dinner, but you made it obvious you don’t want anything to do with me.”
“What are you talking about? I’d just been attacked, and you turn right around and try to get into my pants too.”
“I never said anything about getting into your pants.”
“No, but it was assumed. I’m a smart woman, remember?”
“Right. How could I forget that? So let me make it up to you. Dinner. Tomorrow night. What’s the worst that could happen?”
“You’re something else, Austin King.” She paused. “I don’t know.”
“It could be a two-for-one. An apology dinner and a celebratory dinner for you doing so well on your pop quiz.”
“I haven’t done well yet.”
