“It will definitely get my foot in the door, and hopefully with the right company will be a stepping stone into what I really want to be doing.”
“Well, this is awesome news. I mean, as long as you can stand Tess and Sebastian long enough to get the job and then find your own place.”
“That’s yet to be seen.” He pauses. “Then again, I’ve got this other friend who might be nice enough to let me crash at her place for a few weeks, considering Thoma is less than fifteen minutes from where she lives.”
“You do, do you? Tell me about this friend of yours?” I tease, already knowing he’s talking about me.
“Well, she’s bangin’ for one,” he starts, and I immediately bust out laughing.
“Bangin’,” I laugh around the word. “What are we, in high school again?” I question, ignoring the quickening of my heart at his statement.
“Don’t like bangin’, huh? Okay, how about this—she’s incredibly beautiful.” I can hear the smile in his voice.
“Go on,” I urge, playing along.
“She’s also smart and funny and… Did I mention how beautiful she is?”
“You may have mentioned this. Though, if you’re trying to butter her up, you’ll need more than just what you think of her looks.”
“Damn it,” he chuckles. “Here I thought all I had to do was compliment her beauty and I’d be in.”
“Most girls aren’t that vain,” I tsk, clucking my tongue on the roof of my mouth.
“I have so much to learn.” He sighs dramatically.
“Tell me your favorite thing about this friend of yours.” I can’t help but play right into his little game.
“Besides the fact that she’s bangin’?” he laughs.
“Yes, besides that.” I try to keep my voice serious but fail miserably.
“That’s hard. I think every part of her is my favorite.”
“You’re really laying it on thick here, aren’t you?” I counter with a smile.
“Is it working?” he asks.
“That depends, am I the bangin’ friend?”
“Like you have to ask,” he says, like it should be a given.
“Then yeah, maybe it’s working,” I admit. “Though, I’m not sure how you staying here would work, in all seriousness. I only have two bedrooms, one for me and one for Jack. You wouldn’t have any privacy or space of your own.”
“And that would totally be fine. I just need your couch for three weeks, four tops. I should be able to line a place up pretty quickly. And this is only if I get the job, of course.”
“Well, how about we wait until then to work out the details.”
“Agreed. Though, I desperately want to lie and say I’ve already gotten the job so you’ll save me from my current predicament. You sure you can’t hang out tonight?”
“I really can’t,” I say, even though it’s the furthest thing from what I want to say.
“What about tomorrow?”
“During the day I have to work, but I’m free tomorrow evening. But I will have Jack.”
“Even better.” His response brings an instant smile to my lips. “How about I take the two of you to dinner. Does say, six o’clock work?”
“I think that’s doable.”
