calling me?”
“Whatever, Charlee. I guess I’ll let you go then.”
I knew there was more he wanted to say, but honestly I could give two shits. “Okay, well hopefully I won’t see ya later.” I hung up the phone and snagged my sunglasses off of the table by the door leading to the garage, before I headed out to do yard work.
I didn’t expect anybody in particular to be awake quite yet, but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the truck he had used to move, parked in his driveway. A pleased smile formed across my face, as I made my way out to the curb to start pulling weeds. I had my headphones in my ears, so when I felt a hand tap my shoulder, I turned with my gardening tool, ready to kill if need be.
“You don’t have to be so violent.”
I pulled the headphones from my ears and let out a loud sigh of relief. “Mom, jesus. What do you want?”
“Nice, Charlee. Love the language. I need you to move some of the pavers out back while you’re at it.”
“Seriously?”
“Yes, seriously! Thanks dear.”
As my mom turned to walk back inside through the garage, I flipped her off with a wide tooth smile. I didn’t know anybody was around, until I heard his distinct laugh.
“I like the attitude.”
“Oh, shut up. I’m surprised you’re even awake yet.” I started making my way towards the end of his driveway where he stood.
“I’m a bit of an early riser.”
“I see that. What are you doing?”
“I have some stuff to take care of before tonight. You still coming right?”
“I hope so.” I muttered under my breath.
“What was that?”
“Nothing. I said, I’m there. What time?”
“Be outside around seven, that work for you?”
I nodded my head and started walking back to my house. “Well Cinderella has chores to do. I’ll see you later.”
“That you will.” He smiled and I had no choice, but to smile in return. His smile and pleasant nature was infectious, and I was beginning to really like having him around.
Chapter Thirteen
Dax
I spent most of my day making sure I got our date right. This girl deserved everything and more, and I was more than willing to try and give it to her. I didn’t go the traditional way, getting flowers and chocolates, but I did try to make sure it was going to be a night that she wouldn't soon forget.
When I pulled into my driveway a couple of hours later, I half expected to catch a glimpse of her, but I wasn’t so lucky. Knowing that I was going to see her in a couple of hours left me with a sense of contentment and that was good enough for me right now. Wilton was nowhere to be found, so I quickly jumped in the shower and started to get ready.
As I stood under the steady stream of hot water, my thoughts were of nothing but the gorgeous girl next door that I was about to take on a date. I closed my eyes as I envisioned her getting ready. Unfortunately for me, I had only ever seen her in a bathing suit, so I had to let my imagination take hold and show me what I had yet to see. Before I could get too far into my daydream, some one knocked on the bathroom door.
“WHAT?” I yelled.
“Hey dude, how long you gonna be?”
Ugh, I should’ve known it was going to be Wilton who would interrupt me. “I’ll be out in a bit, why?”
“Someone is here to see you. Should I tell them to come back?”
Who in the hell would be at my house? Not only did I not tell anybody where I moved to, but also there wasn’t anyone I wanted to find me. “No, I’ll be out in a second. Just have them wait.”
“Sounds good, man.”
I was forced to finish my shower, cold. Living with a roommate was starting to really get on my nerves. Wilton was cool and all, but sometimes I wish I just had my own space. I wrapped the towel around my waist and made my way across the hall to my bedroom. I pulled on a pair of ratty jeans and made my way into the living room, tugging my shirt over my head in the process. Before I could see who was waiting for me, I heard
