Fourth Sunday and it’s a date

I called and texted Ciara on Monday morning before heading to work. I got a short text reply, “I’m ok. Thanx for yesterday.” I was so glad to hear that, and I told Tyler as much during our Monday morning briefing before he told me about his weekend that somehow involved pink glitter nail polish, a lost swim team coach, an inflatable plastic sofa and creative use of a sock.

I gave Tyler the rundown on my dog beach date, as he called it, but had to run off to a meeting before I could get into much. During lunch, I showed him Ciara’s text message.

“Does she mean ‘Thanks for not running away screaming when I started hacking my brains out?’” he said as he took a sip of his water and gave the once over to a new nursing student who must have been in on a clinical rotation.

“Probably. Or it could be sarcastic and she means, ‘Thanks for recommending I buy those crappy tacos that made me sick.’” I still felt guilty about her getting sick. I figured it was because of the fish tacos she ate yesterday. I had recommended them so highly. That was not how I wanted the date to end, and I wasn’t even so sure it was a date.

Tyler handed my phone back to me. “I doubt that’s right. Look, don’t think about it too much, Jordan. She needed help. You helped her. You did a good thing. I’m sure she appreciates it.”

“Yeah, I did, didn’t I? I’m very proud of myself.”

“So smug,” Tyler said, digging into his chicken Cobb salad.

I grinned. “You know it.”

I didn’t hear anything from Ciara for the next few days. I didn’t want to bombard her with calls and texts. I figured she was recovering and probably busy. We had been flirting, and we had had a really good time on Sunday until she got sick. I hoped she wouldn’t have some really needy ex whose charms she might still be susceptible to lurking somewhere and that she would contact me soon. Tyler told me not to worry about it. Hannah said that if it was meant to be it would be.

I kept busy, but I thought about Ciara a lot, especially when I took Minnie out for her walks. She kept pulling me towards the dog park, and I went willingly. I didn’t see Ciara there but thinking about her made me smile. I made a conscious decision not to futurize about the possibility that Ciara either hated me, wasn’t that into me, or would never call me again, because I’m not gifted with second sight nor do I have a crystal ball. When those thoughts snuck up on me occasionally, I tried to distract myself.

I had Hannah over for dinner one evening. I went over to Tyler’s on Friday night for one of his movie nights that could get quite boisterous. I flirted with his very cute redheaded cousin, name of Rusalka.
