“Large hands,” Cory said suggestively.
“What?” I said with a blush.
“I’m just sayin’.”
Cory smiled. On top of everything else great about him, he was also the perfect gay best friend when I needed him to be. I knew it didn’t mean anything and it was him being supportive. But, it did allow my fantasies to run wild every so often.
“Okay, Innuendo, hold your horses. We don’t know anything about him. For all we know, he could be big because he was a statue my drunk ass was doing inappropriate things too.”
“But, would a statue write a note telling you to meet him at Willow Pond at 2?”
I thought about that. Cory was right. Whoever wrote the note was human. The guy I kissed was made of flesh and blood. Did this mean that I had met someone I liked who liked me back? Were miracles real?
“Kelly and I are going hiking so I have to go grab breakfast. But you’re meeting him, right?”
“You mean the stranger who could be arranging the place to murder me?”
“No, I mean the guy who kissed you under the stars and left you a trail to find him again.”
Do you see what I mean about Cory being too good to be straight?
Cory got up and grabbed his keys and wallet.
“Kendall, as much as I’ve listened to you complain about not having anyone, there’s no way you can’t go. This could be the guy you spend the rest of your life with.”
“Yeah, because he kills me and dumps my body in the pond.”
Cory laughed. “Okay. Do what you need to do. But if I come back tonight and you haven’t met this guy. I will be very disappointed in you.”
“Yes, Dad.”
“Good boy, son,” he said before kneeling on my bed and kissing my hair.
Ugh! What did I say about Cory being perfect? There was no way that his girlfriend knew how great he was.
Enough about the guy leaving to meet his girlfriend and who I will never have. It was time to think about whoever it was that safety pinned the note to me. I had to admit that it was at least a little romantic.
Did he realize that I wouldn’t remember the night and want to make sure that we would see each other again? That had to be it, right? Not that he didn’t want to put his number in my phone for the police to find? Or, maybe it was both.
Slowly feeling my strength return, I searched my pocket for my phone. When I didn’t find it, I searched my nightstand. It wasn’t there either. Did I get so drunk I lost my phone?
Crap! It was $800 and I’m still paying for it. I am seriously never drinking again. It’s a good thing that apart from my parents, the only other person on it was the guy I lived with. Thank god for being unpopular.
Needing to get something into my stomach, I eventually made my way to the cafeteria and filled my tray. I didn’t know what would stay down so I got a little bit of everything. Looking up from my food, a guy I recognized from class caught my eye and waved me to join his group. I waved him off knowing I couldn’t carry on a conversation in my state.
Besides, I wanted to see what I could remember before 2 pm. If I didn’t know what he looked like, how was I going to find him when I got there? How did I know he wasn’t staring at me right now?
I looked up and scanned the room. There were a lot of people. Most of them were engaged in conversation or staring down at their plate. The only one who wasn’t was staring back at me. After a moment of eye contact, he came over.
“Hey Kendall, did you get my text about study group? Did you wanna join?” He asked awkwardly.
I knew him. It was the guy from psychology class who was always staring at me. I couldn’t figure out what his deal was. Was there always something on my face or was he just looking at the guy behind me?
“I think I lost my phone,” I said before wiping my mouth reflexively.
“Seriously? That sucks!”
“Tell me about it.”
