Chapter Eleven

A FEW DAYS and two chemo treatments later, I’m just folding a load of laundry when I get a text from an unknown number.

Unknown: How are you feeling?

My heart lodges in my throat. I don’t text many people, and since I’ve been sick, I don’t even text those people anymore.

Me: Who is this?

Unknown: It’s Beau. I hope you don’t mind. Just wondering how you’re doing.

My pulse races when I see his name. I had been thinking about him ever since he’d left my house last week, but I wasn’t sure how I would ever see him again.

Me: I’m good. How did you get my number?

Beau: It was on the paperwork you filled out at the clinic. Are you really good?

A wide grin spreads across my face.

Me: Is that allowed?

I wait several seconds, my eyes boring into the screen on my phone, waiting for his response. I can’t believe he’s texting me.

Beau: Legally? No. Now answer my question.

I giggle and tap out my answer.

Me: I’m tired, but not feeling as bad as I was.

Beau: Good. You up for some company tonight? I finally got my hands on the newest Avengers movie. You seen it?

He wants to come here? In that moment, I forget all about how crappy I feel. All I can concentrate on is how to calm the storm of butterflies in my belly.

Me: Sure, sounds fun. And no, I haven’t seen it. I haven’t watched a movie in ages.

Beau: Awesome. Seven o’clock good for you?

Me: See you then.

I gently lay my phone back on the table, my mind racing. I can’t believe Beau is coming here just to watch a movie with me.

“Well, someone looks happy,” I hear from behind me. I turn to see my dad standing in the doorway.

I can feel the instant the flush hits my cheeks. “Dad! You scared the crap out of me.”

“Sorry. It’s nice to see you smiling though, kiddo.” He walks over the fridge and pulls out a couple of cold drinks, then makes his way to the door. “I’m going out for a fish. I’ll probably be late. Going to see if I can get a few catfish.”

“Okay. I have a friend coming over to watch a movie.”

His arm pauses as he reaches for his jacket. “Is this the friend that I met leaving the other night?” I nod. “Is he the cause for that pretty smile on your face?”

I bite my lip. “Maybe.”

He nods. “I like him already.”
