“No, I’m in the back of an Uber with my friend Josh.” I pressed speakerphone. “Say hey, Josh.”
“Hey, Josh,” he said in his deep voice and then chuckled. “Sorry. This is Josh. Hi, whoever’s on the other line.”
“Hi,” Gia said softly. “This is Gia. Josh, how do you know Callie?”
“We’re dorm mates at NYU. Why? How do you know her?”
“I met her at a party.”
“Oh, the fancy party she went to the other night?”
“Yeah. She told you about it?”
“Yeah. I mean, I wanted to hang out with her that night, but she decided that—”
“That’s enough, Josh,” I said quickly, taking the phone off speaker. “So you see, Gia, I’m okay.”
“I don’t know what’s going on, Callie, but you sure sound weird,” Gia said. “Can we meet up tomorrow?”
“My best friend Imogen is flying in. So…”
“Why is your best friend Imogen flying in?”
I sighed. “Fine. We can meet up tomorrow. I’ll text you some details.”
“Okay. And you promise you’re okay?”
“I promise. And Gia?”
“Yes, Callie?”
“Thanks for calling and asking.”
“No worries,” she said. “When I told you I knew we’d be friends, I meant it.”
“Thanks. I’ll see you tomorrow.” I hung up and then looked over at Josh.
“Wow, who’s she? She sounded pretty hot.”
“Really, Josh?” I started laughing. “Just ten minutes after you were telling me I was the girl for you and you wished you hadn’t hooked up with so many other randoms.”
“Well, I don’t know that I’d say I wished.” He shrugged. “Plus, you said we’re just friends, right?”
“Yes.” I nodded quickly. “We’re just friends.”
“So then, if I try and figure out your friend’s details…”
“You don’t even know what she looks like, Josh.”
“If she looks half as sexy as her voice, I think she’s a winner.”
I just shook my head. “Oh my gosh. You’re too much.”
“What? I’m a man.”
“That’s what every guy says, like it’s an excuse for being a douchebag and a…” I paused as I realized I was going to start going off.
“Hey.” He held his hands up. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know you thought I was a douchebag.”
