It took me three days to finally take the card off my fridge and called him. Phone at my ears, line ringing.

"Hello Harrison constructions how may I help you?" A perky voice asked.

"Hello my I speak to Javier Harrison please." I asked while bracing on the fridge.

"Oh I am sorry but Mr. Harrison is not into the office. May I take a message." The perky voice ask.

"Sure. My name is Kelly McKenzie. Telephone number 5554007." I said.

"OK miss McKenzie I will forward the message OK. Is there anything else I can help with?" Perky asked.

"No that is all."

"OK have a great day." Perky said even perkier.

"Same to you.' I said and end the call.

I replace the phone on the hook grab my bag and head off to work.

It took me about twenty-five minutes to reach another 10 to change and then I started my shift.

Ten hours later after my shift and I reached home.

"Thank you lord for protecting me today." I said when I entered my apartment. Walked over to the couch I sat down proceed to taking off my shoes. When finished I took out my cell-phone realising it has five missed call and a voice note. I listen to it. "Hello this is Javier I am sorry I missed the call but here is my Cell number you can get me at. It is 5554269."

I wrote down the number put it and my cellphone on the coffee table, get up, walked to the kitchen catches some water into the kettle put it on the stove top to make some tea.

Went to the bathroom to pee, washed my hands and face leave the bathroom and then go back to the kitchen. The water was boiling so I turned off the stove get my mug and tea bag, fill the cup with steaming hot water, sweeten with three spoons of sugar and walked to my bedroom.

I place the cup onto my night table. After taking off my clothes I climbed into my bed turned on the television and DVR and start chatting up with two days of my soap opera. First up on the screen is "shick".

For the last two hours I have watched "young and the restless and the bold and the beautiful". Just as "days of our lives" was about to start I heard my cellphone ringing into the living room. I groan while sliding out of bed to go and see who is it that is calling me. Praying it wasn't the hospital.

"Hello!" I said in a hurried voice.

"Hello, Kelly?" The voiced I asked .

"Yes I am Kelly."

"This is Javier Harrison. I am returning the call." He said with a smooth voice.

Realizing who it is I exhale while walking back to my bedroom. "Hey its Kelly from the mart." I said smiling.

"Oh hi I was wondering if you were ever going to call." He said excitedly.

"Why wouldn't I call?" I  asked smiling

"Well its been three days since I'd gave you my card." He said

"Oh well I called earlier today."

Conversation between them K- Kelly and J- Javier

J- "so how have you been?"
K- " I have been good. And you?"
J- " I have been busy. I have travelled      to three states for the past two days.                 So I am tried too."
K-" I would say you need a vacation."
J-" yeah I do. Would you come with me?"

There was a long pause.

J-" OK I take that has a no."
K-" well sorry but work right now don't allow me to get no more than two days. And besides thanks for the offer but I am still trying to know you."
J-" OK then let's have dinner."
K-" what!?"
J-" well you want to know me and I want you to come on the vacation with me. So let's have dinner."
K-" OK when?"
J-" now. Tonight. I can pick you up say in the next hour and we go for dinner."
K-" so its like a date?"
J-" lets call it an impromptu meeting."
Kelly laughed
K-" that sounds so scandalous. But OK in one hour.

I gave him my address, we hanged up. I rushed to the bathroom had a quick shave and shower. Finding something sexy but comfortable inside my closet. Settled on a white romper. With red accessory, red clutch and red three inch heels.

Just when I put on my last bangle bracelet I hear my door knocked. With each soft sound of my heels and my heart racing I went to the door. A big deep breath in and I open the door. The first thing I saw were Roses. A bouquet of red roses. The sweet scent filled my nostrila. I smiled, looking up from the bouquet I saw the soft honey brown eyes. I felt a thousands butterflies inside of my belly. Oh and right there he smiled.
