Share Us
It’s always been that way between us. We shared everything. It’s kind of nice to see that not everything has changed.
The waiter comes by, and we both order; then she leans back and smiles at me.
“So… how’s your new neighbor?”
“I don’t know,” I admit with a sigh. “He’s confusing.”
“How so?”
“We had dinner the other night,” I say, and she nods.
She already knows all about our little kind of date the other night. She’s been waiting for what she’s been calling her “Warren updates” every day since. Unfortunately for both of us, I haven’t had anything else to report.
“And then nothing. I haven’t seen him since. I think he was avoiding me, but I ran into him tonight when I was leaving to come here.”
“And?”
“I don’t know, it was weird.”
“Why?”
“He thinks that I’m on a date.”
She blinks at me, and I grab my glass of water and take a sip.
“You told him that you were going on a date?” She asks, and I shake my head.
“No, he just assumed.”
“Well, you do look hot.”
I laugh, and she grins.
“And you didn’t correct him?”
“No,” I admit. “I was going to, but then I just got so mad. Like he doesn’t want me, but he doesn’t want anyone else to have me either.”
“Oh, I think he wants you,” she says slyly, and I shake my head.
“No. If he did, he wouldn’t be avoiding me.”
“What did he do when you were leaving?”
Our waiter drops off our edamame and I grab one.
“Well, he walked me to my car and told me how a real date would have come to pick me up.”
“That’s true,” Pia agrees, and I roll my eyes.
“I asked him if that’s what he would do, and he told me that he doesn’t date.”
“Maybe not before, but it sounds like he’s warming up to the idea,” she says with a smirk
“He opened my car door for me,” I continue, and she nods. “Then he offered to drive me.”
Pia snorts, and I try to hide my smile.
“Then what?” She asks.
