introduced her and I wondered whether or not they were a thing. He definitely had his eye on her. Troy started talking to me about school tomorrow and I overheard Remi talk to Josie about school. Josie asked her how long she had been here.
Troy stopped talking and I looked at him and he said “Well, what do you think, sounds like a plan right?”
“Um…yeah, sounds good.” I had absolutely no idea what he was talking about.
“Oh boy you’ve got it bad.” He chuckled at me and nodded his head towards Remi.
“ Yeah, yeah, so what plan have you come up with?”
He told me about me, him, Remi and Josie going to the Myrtles plantation in two weeks. He said they were having some special tours that day. I thought it was a good idea, and a chance to see Remi again, so I turned to ask her. I cleared my throat because she was telling something to Josie and it was a sight because she was using her hands a lot to talk.
She turned my way and smiled a little, “Um, so Troy thought we should go to this special tour they’re having at the Myrtles Plantation in two weeks.”
She eyed me skeptically, “We?” She asked.
I laughed a little at her question and I loved the thought that she and I on a date made her sound all nervous.
“We, as in me, you…” I drug it out on purpose and watched her eyes widen, “Troy and Josie.”
She slumped a little releasing her tension, “Yeah, sounds good to me…Josie?”
Josie just nodded.
Troy chimed in, “OK, good, so two Sundays from today. We’ll meet at Cooper’s house about one?”
We all agreed and continued to eat and talk. When we were done Troy and I picked up everyone’s plates and trash and put them in the garbage can. Then we sat down and continued to talk until Remi’s aunt came to tell her it was time to go. I could ’ve punch ed myself in the jewels for not driving to church tod ay. If I had, I would have told her aunt that she could stay and I would drive her home. Then I would get to see that face she made when I started my car. It was…well it was ridiculously hot .
She got up to leave. Josie asked her if she had a cell phone, but she didn’t. So Josie gave her num ber and Remi turned to her aunt and asked her to give Josie their home number. Give me your number…Give me your number…Give me your number. I tried to send the thought chants her way, but she di dn’t get my vibes. Ugh...what I wouldn’t give for super powers.
As I was watching her leave Troy punched me in the shoulder.
“ So, you giving me a ride to school tomorrow?” He asked and had no clue that he had interrupted my Remi thoughts.
“Yeah, man, what time?” I asked. I didn’t mind and after the missed opportunity today, I wasn’t leaving the house without my car ever again.
“Pick me up at seven forty five, class starts at eight o’five.”
“Ok, cool.”
“ Hey, my Dad is waving us down, let’s roll.” He said as he started to get up.
Remi
Note to self: Sit in the very back pew next week at church .
I spent the whole service switching between feeling him stare at me and doing all of these awkward stretches trying to get a look at him. But how I was rewarded when I did.
