Just a Little Bit Longer

Chapter 4-End of the day

Chapter 4

It was finally 6:00 and I left to go home. Today's events were playing over and over in my head. How was it possible that Red Anderson might like me? He asked for me to stay with him all afternoon and then asked for my phone number! As if he would actually even call m.....

-Hey Brylee, it's Red ;) just thinking about you

OMG! He actually just texted me!!!! Okay Brylee calm down. Just simply text him back.

-Hey, how sweet of you ;)

Oh good job Brylee that was a stupid answer......

-It was wasn't it ;p anyways what are you doing tomorrow night?

Did he just ask me out?

-Nothing really

-Awesome! :) I would love to take you to dinner! Pick you up at 7:30?

Oh.My.God! He is asking me out! Breath Brylee, just breath!

-That would be great :)

-Perfect, what's your address? ;)

I sent him my address still trying to control my breathing as excitement was rushing through me.

-See you tomorrow night Bry, I can't wait ;)

He called me Bry! Are we already on the pet name base? Okay maybe I'm just reading into this to much.

-See you then :)

I drove home. Pulling up into the driveway everybody's car was here except for Chris's car. That's weird, were could he be?

I walked into the house, "Family I'm home!" I yelled out. My little sister Melody ran up and jumped into my arms.

"Hey Mell, what's up chica?" I asked wile spinning her around. She giggled at me "Nothing much sissy, how was work?" I put her on my hip and walked into the kitchen.

"Oh you know, same old same old." I sat her on the bar stole and hugged my mother who was chopping vegetables on the island.

"How was your day sweety? Everything okay at work?" My mother asked after kissing my cheek.

"It was great actually. You will never believe what happened!" My normal answer to my moms question would be ( it was good and yes) so when I actually elaborated on the statement she new something very interesting must have happened.

She dropped the knife she was using and put her chin in her hands wile propping her elbows on the island counter. "Do tell"

"Well I had a very special patient today."

"Does this patient have a name?"

So it's totally against HIPPA laws for me to tell anybody about anything that happened with a certain patient so I told my mom as little as possible.

"Of course but I can't tell you that. He came in for a broken thumb and ended up asking me to stay with him the entire time he was at the hospital. I'm going out with him tomorrow night at 7:30!" My mom was looking at me wide eyed.

"Your actually going to go out with a guy, like on a date?"

"Yes mom, is it hard to believe a guy asked me out?"

My mom started shaking her head. "No sweety it's just you haven't dated anybody since high school, and he must be super cute for you to like him this much already!" She ended her statement smiling.

"Yes mom he is very good looking." If only she new. "And how would you know that I liked him?"

"Sweetheart, it's all in your eyes. I can see the way your eyes sparkle and how you look like your dreaming about him when you talked."
