Chapter Seven

Charlotte

Okay, so I know staring at the phone is not going to make it call Calvin. I can’t will the phone to dial his number and talk to him for me. Ugh! Why am I so nervous? It’s not like I don’t know if he likes me or not. He does. This has been a long time coming, too.

Do it, Charlie. Don’t be a bitch. Do it!

Taking a deep breath, I swipe my thumb over my screen to open my phone. With a shaky finger, I pull up Calvin’s number and hit the call button. Taking a deep breath, I put the phone to my ear and listen to it ring…once…twice…three times…

“Hello?” Calvin’s deep voice answers.

“Uh, Calvin, hi! It’s Charlie!” I chirp, waaay too enthusiastically.

I curse myself and swipe a hand down my face.

“Hey, Pinky, what’s going on?” he replies, obvious amusement in his tone.

“I’m calling…to, um…I wanted to know…” Fuck! I’m stuttering like a fool! Get it together, Charlie! “Do you want to go out with me Saturday? I know you work at night, but we can go out in the afternoon?”

Silence. Calvin doesn’t say a word. I can’t even hear him breathing. Did he hang up on me? Holy shit! Was I wrong? Maybe he doesn’t like me!

“Calvin?” I ask weakly, praying that I didn’t just make a dumbass out of myself.

He clears his throat. “Yeah, I’m here,” he says, an odd note to his voice.

“Is that a ‘no’ then?”

“What? No! I mean yes! I mean…shit. I would love to go out with you on Saturday, Charlotte, but I can’t do that to Parker,” he tells.

“I’m not dating Parker. Is that why you were so quiet?” I ask.

“Yeah, plus, you shocked the shit out of me. No woman has ever asked me out before,” he says, sounding a bit befuddled.

I smile to myself. I like that I’m the first woman to ever ask him out. That means he’ll always remember me for that.

“Do you have something in mind?” he asks curiously.

“I do, but it’s a surprise. Oh, and dress warm,” I tease. No doubt if I tell him where we’re going he’ll try to change my plans.

“Oh, a surprise, huh? So, since you asked me out, does that mean you’re paying?” He chuckles.

“Of course,” I answer seriously. That was the plan.

“Oh come on, Charlotte, I was just kidding. You know I can’t let you do that.”

“Too bad. I asked, I pay. Period. You can get the next one,” I say without thinking.

“The next one? Planning more than one date with me?” he asks teasingly, but I can hear the little bit of shock in his voice. I totally caught him off guard…again.

“We’ll see; if the first one goes well, then yeah…”

“Deal,” he says.

“I’ll pick you up at 11:00 am on Saturday. Text me your address, okay?” I say, ready to hang up the phone before anything else stupid spews out of my mouth.

“Okay, I’ll see you then,” he replies, and I can hear his smile.

“Bye, Calvin.”

“Bye, Pinky.”

I hang up and flop over on my couch, burying my face in the cushion before screaming.
