I ended up arriving at Harley's house a bit earlier than expected.
I honestly debated just waiting in my car until someone else showed up.
I mean, I didn't want to seem like a fucking weirdo by being here early but then I decided that being stuck in my car as snow falls outside may not be the best idea.
I hug my coat around me tighter as I head over to her front door and knock.
The door doesn't immediately open and I begin rubbing my hands together to keep them warm.
It takes a couple of minutes but the door eventually opens and I'm met with a confused Harley...in her pajamas.
Her eyes widen when she sees me as she stops brushing her teeth.
"Uh- hi." I chuckle.
She quickly holds her hand up and rushes back up the stairs.
Am I allowed to come in or...
She returns a minute later, the toothbrush gone.
"What are you doing here?" She asks, hugging herself.
"You said to be here by 12...right?"
"I did? I thought I said 2?"
"You said 12 and can I please come in, I'm freezing my ass off."
She gasps as she quickly steps aside and ushers me inside.
"Shit, I did say 12." She groans.
"Did you just wake up?" I chuckle, gesturing to her pajamas.
"Yeah...I got home late from work." She admits.
"I can come back later-"
"NO! I uh- I mean you don't have to. I just need to change." She says, her cheeks slowly turning red in embarrassment.
I was about to reply but was cut off by someone clearing their throat.
"Don't worry sweetheart, I'll keep your friend company." A woman who looks almost identical to Harley smiles.
"Please don't embarrass me!" Harley begs before she heads upstairs.
"Uh- it's nice to meet you, Ms.Collins," I say, suddenly feeling nervous.
I don't even know why!
"Nash...right?"
"Yes ma'am."
"Ma'am makes me feel old, please call me Marie." She chuckles.
