Tobin

Highly alert and ready for World War 3, I took my turn going through a four-way intersection behind Cherise. A chime resonated from the speaker system. Andre’s name and number swam across my radio’s screen. Keeping an eye on Cherise and the passing vehicles, I took his call.

“Andre, we’re not at the office. We’re a quarter-mile away from Cherise’s home.” I spit out her address to him, making provisions to inform Cherise of that straightaway. “If you’re calling me, you’re not flying. I bet the passengers love that. How did you get here two hours early if you’re here that is?”

He snorted. “I’m here after annoying the hell out of the pilots instead of the passengers this time. Kind of got myself detained on the plane. They couldn’t kick me off it midflight, so they sped up. Everything went according to my plan. I can meet you at Cherise’s in an hour and a half if you need me to, got my own transportation. Isn’t it a little early for her to be knocking off for the day?”

“I’ll be there to let you in the apartment, and it is a little early.” I grew furious just from recalling the reason why she was headed home. “Chad Lowell struck again. It was sliced fruit, omelets, and toast with avocado spread this time. Orange juice and a Moet to wash it down. She lost it big time.” I got to hold her, touch her, and breathe her in. If I was desperate, I’d tell Chad to keep it up. The results of his lunacy were marvelous for me. But he had to go. Cherise was reaching her breaking point with his stunts.

“He’s got good taste in food and women at least. What else happened?” Andre pressed.

“Nothing,” I conveyed as we took a right onto the inbound lane onto the property of Cherise’s home. “But, he’s getting bolder. We’re going to the carnival tonight to work on me and talk about Cherise’s situation. Instead of coming here, meet me at the carnival tonight at eight.”

“Watch your backs from afar and scope out the place for the idiot carrying a torch for the woman who’d rather he put it down. Got it. Hold the hell up. You two are going on a date now?” His astonishment was almost tangible. “What happened to get her switch for professional conduct turned off?”

“I suspect Chad’s antics turned it off. I asked her about going to the carnival with me to talk, called it a date by mistake, and she co-signed it. I’m still shocked by the turnaround from her demanding professional distance to it being a date.” I’d probably still be shocked when we were on the date.

An automated system’s voice announced the successful change of destination on Andre’s end. “That means she likes you, Tobin. She probably did from the beginning. Some situations wake people up about letting a good thing slip by.”

“She sure opened my eyes the first time I met her,” I mumbled to myself.
