The Phone Call

Authors Note:Sorry its kind of short I just wanted to post something for my readers. Hope you still like it.

I finally found my voice and was able to say hello back. "Oh there is someone on the phone. I thought I had the wrong number." I laughed,"no, you just caught me off guard." There was an awkward silence then he spoke up,"I had fun today. Thanks again for teaching me how to skate. If it wasn't for you I'd still be holding on to the rink for dear life." I giggled,"its no problem. I had fun teaching you how to skate. You're a fast learner so it was an easy task." He chuckled,"yea, I've been told I'm smart,and good looking." I blushed,"oh so not only are you a fast learner you're cocky." He made a sound,"I'm only stating facts. We both know its true." I bit my lip and blushed,"I plead the fifth."

We went quiet but this time we both tried to talk at the same time. He laughed,"you can go first." I shook my head forgetting that he couldn't see me,"I just wanted to apologize for the display you seen before we left the rink. My ex is well let's just say he's a special kind of person. He wants to have his cake and eat it too;if you know what I mean." He was quiet and then he said,"I understand, you don't have to explain anything to me. I barely know you and your personal life is none of my business. I was just surprised at your outburst." That made me smile,"well stick around because I have a lot of more surprises." He laughed,"I look forward to seeing them. So what are you doing on this lovely night." I exhaled,"well my mom is out and my little brother is at a friends house. I'm always the one stuck in the house which is perfect. I love the silence and the privacy I have. Do you know how much stuff you can do at home by yourself? But for now I'm currently trying to find something to watch on TV."

He chuckled,"that sounds like fun. And I like solitude also. Its just something about being alone and left to do your own thing sometimes, that makes you peaceful and happy. I've been alone since I was 16 but I love it." I wanted to ask him what he meant by that,but we weren't that close yet so I kept it to myself. Instead I changed the subject,"so Adam tell me what's a city boy doing moving all the way down to my simi small town." He laughed again,"well my dad is making a business venture of some sorts and I was told that I had to pack up move down south." I snorted,"he sure picked one hell of a place for his business." He chuckled,"leave it to my dad to think outside the box." I smiled,"so have you made any new friends yet." He made some kind of affirmative noise,"yes I have. I'm thinking of trying out for the track team. The guys think I'll be great and the girls." I giggled,"I bet you've had plenty of admirers from both girls and boys." He chuckled again,"yea well I don't want to make any permanent decisions yet. I just got here and I would like to explore my options. If you know what I mean."

My heart fell to my stomach and the smile dropped from my face. I should have known he wouldn't be interested in me. Why would he like me. Its not like I'm some tall leggy blond or some short cute brunette. I don't even know if he likes black girls. I let Jas fill my head with all that crap. I got my hopes up, I'm glad I didn't put myself out there. Gosh that would have been so embarrassing if I would have made the first move. Clearing my head I cleared my throat,"yea and hey if you need any help weaving out the girls, I'm here for you." He laughed,"we'll see." I nodded my head,"yea so I'm getting pretty tired." He said,"oh well umm ok I guess I'll see you on Monday. Thank you again, I had a lot of fun and I hope to do it again. Talk to you later." Then he hung up and my heart broke all over again.

I should have known better. He's an attractive guy with a good personality. He could have anybody he wanted, why would he want me. Besides he probably thinks I'm not over my ex. Ugh why does everything have to be so hard. I think I'll swear off guys until college. Who needs to be tied down their senior year any way. Its time to spread my wings like Jas said. I need to explore my options. Adam was just a test drive,a cute test drive,but just a tester. I made my decision up right then and there to not be held back by anything but my morals. Its time to break free Abigale and live for you for once. Who knows I may actually come out in one piece.
