You Hired a What?!

Chapter 8

"So you're telling me that you don't think that Sam is HOT?"

"No, I mean she is attractive, but I don't look at her that way, that's all." I'm really starting the get angry. Can he just drop it?

"Can you just drop it!?"

"Alright, but that means you wouldn't mind if I asked her out later...?"

"Whatever, I know you're going to do it no matter what I say."

I pulled the car into a parking spot and threw it into park.

"Come on, lets go."

By the time we sat down at our table and ordered, the place was packed, as usual on a school night, which meant that our food would take longer to get here. The waitress had just delivered our food when my phone went off.

Hey, It's Sam. Softball practice ended early because of the Jr. High football game. Is it possible you could get me early...I was going to wait but everyone else is already gone and my only shoe options are heels or cleats..."

"Yo, we gotta go. Softball practice ended early so I gotta go get Sam."

"Na man, she can wait till I finish my fries," Chase said as he shoved more fries into his mouth.

"No, come on, this is my Job. Excuse me, can we get the check please."

"Oh, don't act like you don't have money. The only reason you had to get this job is because you got caught trying to let loose pigs into Riverside before the football game against them last month. "

"Hey, it was your idea!!"

"Here is the check. Would you guys like some to-go boxes?"

"Yes, thanks." Chase said through a mouthful of fries.

"Fine"

I texted Sam so she wouldn't try to start to walk home in those heals,

    Be there soon

Thanks so much you are a life saver. I'm going the go ahead and jump in the shower here in the locker room and get changed out of my sweaty clothes.

Chase and I put our food into our boxes and left to go get Sam. And of course traffic was backed up because of the Jr. High game. The only down side of living in a small town, everyone shows up for EVERYTHING!

Finally we made it the girls sports building.

We're here.

.....no answer....

"Come on man, just go see where she is."

"Why can't you? You're the one who said she was hot and want to ask her out!"

"You know I can't get caught hanging around the girls locker rooms again. I don't need another story in the school newspaper about me being a peeping tom!"

"Right I forgot about that!" I smacked his shoulder as I got out of the car and headed into the building. Once inside, I realized that everyone else really had gone home already.

"Sam...." Again, no answer.

"Saaammm....." Nothing.

"SAM"

"Oh, sorry, I was blow drying my hair. I just now heard you and saw your text. Could you do me a favor?"

"Depends.."

"Well at home I have this hook thing that I made so I can zip up my dress all the way, but I didn't think to bring it. Could you maybe...." She turned around to reveal her half zipped dress.
