Chapter Nine

After our steak dinner, my dad drove me back to my apartment. It had been a long day and I was completely pooped. I didn't think I would be able to stay up very late that night, but unfortunately I still had homework to complete before class the next day.

Steve pulled into my driveway and turned off the ignition to the truck. I was hoping he didn't want to come in for a drink because I wasn't sure I would be able to keep my eyes open long enough to entertain him.

He turned to me and smiled. “Well here you are. I wanted to say again that I had a great day hanging with you today. You're a joy to be around, my Emmi.”

“Thanks, Dad, I had fun, too. We will have to do that more often. I like being in the mix of things with you.”

“I enjoy that, as well. I will let you know what happens with Bennett as soon as I make a decision. I would appreciate it if you didn't discuss that portion of things with him when you are out, though. Keep that side of things professional and away from whatever dating situation the two of you get into.”

“No problem, Dad. I know what I'm doing and I would never discuss those things with him, I promise. So don't worry about it.”

“I know you won't, sweetheart. I'm just making a point.”

“Like I said, this isn't the first player I have dated, so I know how to handle the business end of things. I'm not worried and neither should you.”

“Okay, well, you have a good night. And we'll talk soon. I love you.”

“I love you more, Dad.” I kissed him on the cheek before I got out of the truck.

I unlocked my apartment door and headed inside. The lights were on in the kitchen and I didn’t know why. I never leave stuff on when I go out. I headed there slowly, hoping that it wasn't going to be the start of a horror flick in my home. When I turned the corner from the hallway to the kitchen, I saw Connie at my kitchen table with a bottle of wine.

“What the heck are you doing here? How did you get in?”

She laughed. “You gave me a key, remember, in case of emergencies. I figured you would be home soon cause you always go for dinner with your father. I want to hear about your day.”

“Why?”

“Because I feel shitty for how blasé I was about the whole thing earlier. I may not understand your world of baseball, but that doesn't mean I don't understand you. You're my best friend and I love you, so spill your guts already.”

I laughed. “Connie, I'm exhausted and I still have homework to do.”

“Homework can definitely wait. It's girl time right now and I need some gossip. So spill it.”

I laughed. “Okay, fine.”

Connie went ahead and opened the bottle of wine and went to retrieve some glasses. She poured us both a glass and handed me one.
