Megan: Hey!! I’m so sorry for the delay. It’s been a hell of a work week. What do you think about dinner Tuesday? My treat ;)

I set the phone down, my eyes roaming over to Sami, who paces the living room, her phone to her ear. I look back at my cellphone and grimace as I contemplate what to do. I’m not tied down to anyone here, and I did have a spark with Megan, but there’s no doubt about the fact that Friday and Sunday have allowed me to see Sami in a brand-new light…and I’m digging the hell out of what I’m seeing. There is a combination of innocence and wonder in her that I find deliriously intriguing.

Sounds like a date, I text back, unsure of whether it’s the right decision or not, but knowing ghosting isn’t an option. Not after our last encounter.

Sami returns, setting her phone on the counter but remains standing.

“Everything okay?” I ask, and she nods.

“Yeah, just my mom. She thinks Dad has food poisoning from a new Mexican place up there. Took him into the ER and she just wanted to give me an update.”

“Oh no, I hope he’s okay.”

“Yeah, he’ll be fine. He knows better than to eat Mexican.” She laughs as she tosses her phone in her purse. “So, I have entirely too many assignments to grade to still be here, as much as I’d love to stay and chat more.” She smiles extra wide as if to show me her sincerity.

“Oh, no, please, I’ve kept you long enough for one afternoon, I think.”

She goes to speak, but hesitates, biting her lip, and taking a few moments.

“What?” I ask, curious, as she shoulders her purse.

“Well, I’m just hoping it won’t be another whole week until I see you next,” she says, and almost immediately her gaze falls to the floor. She turns and shuffles over to the coat rack before I can get a response in.

“Hell no. Just let me know when you get some free time,” I say to her back as she retrieves her coat from the rack. She turns as she puts it on and smiles.

“Hey now, mister. Who’s the man in this scenario?” She winks and sticks her tongue out at me, and I can’t help but grin.

“Yeah, yeah, but remember, you’re talking to the guy who doesn’t work a normal nine to five at the moment. And you’ve got a lot on your hands, so I don’t wanna assume anything.”

“Oh, so you’ll just leave it up to me then, huh?” she asks, grinning and eyeing me suspiciously.

“You name the time and place, and I’m there.”

“Well, I don’t know if you and your grandma wanted to grab lunch up near me, or if you’re able to, but I could sneak out and meet you on my lunch break.” She puts her hand up, her face turning red with embarrassment. “Oh, my God, ignore me. That’s your thing and I’m being all intrusive and stuff.”

I laugh a little, finding her bashfulness quite appealing, more so than she could even realize.
