The rest of the afternoon continued on as slowly as the morning had. Only I had no relief or distraction from either Holly or April, other than the brief few minutes Ken came by to drop off the tickets for the Rays game. I still hadn’t seen April, but she had said she would be busy teaching and I knew that was why I hadn’t heard from her. Holly was probably taking a nap before work, or dealing with more of her brother’s drama.

I went back and forth between looking at the pictures Holly had sent earlier, to planning out what I was going to say to April. I was going to make it short and sweet and get right to the point. I needed to do it right after school let out too. I knew that if I waited too long to do it, I would probably chicken out.

Don’t over think things, I told myself. You know what you need to do, just do it. Don’t worry.

I didn’t have to keep replaying what I was going to say in my head. If I did that, it would end up sounding like a script instead of what I wanted it to sound like, which was genuine concern for April, and wanting to do it because I had both of our best interests in mind.

So, I stopped thinking about it, and let my mind return to Holly and her “matching panties.” I needed to see her. I didn’t think I would be able to wait until she got off work.

Whatever, I knew that wasn’t true. I could wait. Whenever people said something like that, it was always an exaggerated lie. I could wait until she got off work, but I didn’t want to.

As if on cue, like she was reading my mind, Holly sent me a text.

Hey, sorry. Was finishing up an exam.

It’s okay :-) What time do you go in tonight?

I’m going in around 5 tonight. Was going to be 4 but didn’t know how long the exam would be, so I got the hour covered.

Class got out at three-fifteen, and I needed to talk to April before leaving. If I could get to her by four, that wouldn’t give us much time. But I wanted her. I would make it work.

Can you be ready for work by 4?

Sure I can. Why?

You know that park near the bridge? Meet me there!

Lol. Why am I meeting you at the park?

Can you or not?

Yes, Luke, I can meet you. But why??

See you at 4!

God, you’re being weird.

I didn’t respond to her last text, but it did make me smile. When I first met her, Holly had not known the difference between “your” and “you’re” and seemed to always get them wrong in texts. I could only take it for so long before I sat her down one afternoon for an English lesson. She willingly listened, but she also had said, “You know, this kind of makes you an asshole for pointing this out.
