“Hello?”

“Ehhem, is this Brailey?”

“‘Sup,” I say, a little breathless as I move around our little house with my phone clutched between my shoulder and my ear. I lose my grip and it falls to the floor, and I drop all my grocery bags when I bend to pick it up. “Dammit!” I yell right when I put it back to my ear. “Oops, sorry. Dropped my phone. Didn’t mean to shout in your ear. Who is this again?”

“Um, this is Bryce. You gave me your number today at Mayford. I, uh, we talked and-”

I could be nice here and put him out of his misery, but what’s the fun in that?

“At Mayford? Are you sure you have the right number?”

He doesn’t respond for a second, and I hear shuffling on his end of the line. My ice cream is melting on my floor, and I’m trying too hard not to giggle to care enough to bend down and pick it up.

“Uhh, the paper here has the name Brailey and this number on it, so yeah...pretty sure I have the right number.” He still doesn’t sound pretty sure, so I keep probing.

“Hmmm, maybe someone gave you my number? The person you talked to - what did she look like?”

He clears his throat nervously, and I picture him pacing the room he’s in. “Um, she had on yellow scrubs. Light blonde hair, pulled up into a messy bun. She had a killer ass and a nice rack,” he pauses and though he can’t see me, my face flushes. “Her face was okay, I guess. If you’re into that kind of thing.”

“What the hell! That’s a really asshole thing to say! You’re lucky you aren’t saying that to my ‘okay’ looking face, because I’d kick you in the nuts!”

When I stop yelling, I can hear him laughing on the other end. “Oh man, you’re too easy.”

“Trust me, I’m not easy, but I’m definitely worth the effort,” I tease, and I hear him choke on his laughter. I wait patiently until his coughing fit subsides, just staring at my ice cream that’s still melting on the floor. I really should clean it up, but I’m kind of frozen in place, mesmerized by the sound of his laugh. It’s freaking magical, as stupid as that sounds.

A knock on the door pulls me from my trance, and I ask him to hold on while I get the door, only to find out that he’s hung up.

That’s weird.

I look out the peephole, but it’s dark out and my porch light is out. Dammit, I told Shaun to fix that last week.

I figure if the person standing outside is some kind of crazy killer, then he’ll find his way in whether or not I open the door for him, so I may as well just get this over with.

I yank the door back and throw my arms straight up into the air, yelling, “Chop away!”

Bryce stares at me like I’m out of my damn mind. “Oh, hey, didn’t know it was you,” I say, stepping back from the door to let him in.
