My phone grew louder as I headed into my room. My phone sat charging at my end table next to my bed. Next to it was a floral lamp. I raced to pick it up before the vibrations knocked it off the nightstand.
"Hello?" I answered not looking at the caller-id.
"Hey, Vera!" I beamed hearing Michael's enticing voice. Is that too much of a coincidence? Having him call after Morgan said I should? I'm over thinking it...
"Hey, Mike!" I said more enthusiastically.
"I was wondering..." His voice lingered in the phone.
"Yeah?"
"Wanna' go out tonight? Like a date?" he said gingerly.
I giggled, "Sure, Mike. I'd love that." Morgan's speech came to mind. She's right. I do need a little time away from my own thoughts. Besides, I might actually have fun.
"Where do you wanna' go?" I could hear him smile.
"Ummm..." I thought about it. Shit! I don't know any places to go because I never really go out. That's depressing...
"I know you don't eat in public so, how about I go to your place?" He added noticing my predicament.
I loved the idea! But if I stayed home for the date, I wouldn't hear the end of it from Morgan.
"Umm... Yeah. I'll order pizza and after we eat we could go out to the movies?" I felt myself blush.
"Sounds great! What time do I start heading out your way?"
I thought about it... "Around 6:00."
"Perfect! Have fun at school, Vera." I laughed and said my farewells.
I put my phone down against my lamp and smiled a toothless smile. I, Vera, am going on my first date. With a man 6 years older.
