“Wait! Torey what am I missing,” I asked giving him a confused look.
His face softened, “Nothing it’s just uhh I was gonna set you up with someone!”
I carefully rotated my head, looking at him with one of my brows cocked up. It was as if I was questioning why he was gonna do that. I mean I don’t like Brad… Do I?
*** Torey’s P.O.V ***
“Well fine set me up with this guy, I have tomorrow opened,” Jen offered after getting out of her trance of thinking.
“Ok, well I will be talking to him and I’ll get back to you in a few,” I replied quickly leaving her apartment dialing Tuukka’s number.
“Hello,” His light Finnish accent asked as he picked up the phone.
“Hey man, you up for the date with El Fuego,” I questioned using our little code name for her. Its real unique I know, but for the record I didn’t come up with it.
“No way! You actually did it,” He said; his voice was soaking of excitement.
“Yes I did… But there’s something I should warn you about,” I informed with a kind of upset look on my face.
“And that is,” Tuukka questioned.
“Marchand has his eyes on her,” I trailed off.
“So that’s who he was hugging today,” He said under his breath.
*** Brad’s P.O.V ***
“Well Jen it’s great to see you again,” I flirted as I opened my door to Jen standing there with her overnight stuff.
“Oh yeah I know! It’s been so long,” she joked as she came in and threw her stuff on my couch.
“So what do ya want to do? Want anything to drink,” I stumbled upon my words.
“Oh, I’ll have a beer,” She replied in a ‘Boston accent’.
“OK. By the way nice accent,” I informed her walking over to my fridge, she was trailing close behind.
I reached in the fridge and grabbed out a beer, a miller Lite. I don’t even know if that’s the type or beer she’s used to.
“Sorry it’s the only type I have,” I told her with a smile.
“No, its fine. I lived in Wisconsin, I was brought up on Miller,” She informed me with a smile taking the beer and twisting the cap off.
“So, what do you want to do now,” I asked leaning against my countertop while taking the cap off.
“Up to you!”
“Ok, let’s play truth,” I replied with a smile, or smirk as they say.
“Alright! You ask first,” She told me sitting down in a reclining chair.
“Ok. Hmm, what’s your favorite animal,” I asked taking it easy, at the beginning.
“Hmm… Maybe a moose or gazelle. What’s your favorite type of tree,” She asked giving me a look that told me I better answer without asking why it’s so weird.
“Uhh… ohh maybe a Birch,” I informed… but it sounded more like a question.
The game kept going and going until I asked that one question that surprised both of us. I still can’t believe I asked it….
*** Sorry I haven't been on. My grandmother passed last Wednesday while I was at six flags and I've been traveling quite a bit. The updates may be spaced out for the next 2 to 2 1/2 weeks. Please hang in there and I'll update as often as possible. :)
- Thanks JJ :)
