Call me, maybe

What an Ass?

Waking up on the couch Saturday morning after falling asleep there last night binge watching anime. When she heard a knock on the door. She wiped the sleep from her eyes and got up to answer the door to find it was Peter. "So, I was supposed to go out with my brother for breakfast and he canceled last minute. I was wondering if I could take you out instead and you can tell me about your first week at work?"
He said looking at Emmie in her pajamas and bed head. She looked at him still trying to wake up and she asked slowly. "Um don't you have a girl friend or someone else?"
She said leaning up against the door frame closing her eyes for a moment.
"She's out of town and you live next door. So you're convenient. Come on Emma I have reservations in 15 minuets. Say yes and come with me?"
She stood up and turned around heading for the bathroom but stopped and turned around." Hey I didn't say any of that out loud. Come inside and sit down. Oh and begging doesn't look good on you Peter." She walked on down the hall to the bathroom. He came in and sat down and waited for her own the couch.
10 minuets passed and Emmie was trying to blow dry her hair while slipping on her pink dress with the floral print on it. Her curls were full and framed her face just right as she ran out of her bedroom frantically looking for her heels and purse.
"I forgot to tell you I called the restaurant and asked for 20 minuets. Told them I was stuck in traffic." He said as Emmie stared at him with a murderous look in her eyes. She looked down at her hand and saw her shoe in hand. A wicked smiled crossed her face. Before she could throw the shoe Peter had jump over the back of the couch and pinned her against the wall until she dropped the shoe." At least it got you moving and you can use the extra time to brush your teeth. You still have morning breath." He said as he snickers walking back to the couch.
" Im so jealous of your girlfriend she gets to enjoy your charm all the time." She said walking to the bathroom and slamming the door behind her.
He just smiled being proud of himself for making her mad.
5 minuets later she came out with her hair all done up and make up on, ready to go. As she slipped into her flat and out of her heels that she knows would be killing her if she wore them out. Peter held the door open for her. And she locked the door once they were both out by leaning up against the door just like he had told her to.
They went down to the parking area and got in Peter's car. It was really nice. It had seat warmers and coolers.
"If it's not too personal if a question; what do you do that you can afford a car like this?" She said admiring the interior as he pull out onto the highway.
"I'm accountant for a large firm. They pay me well but not enough for this thing. My brother knows a guy who gave me discount on all the specials features. And I'm still making car payments on this thing. Minnie, that's my girlfriend, thought my old car didn't give me confidence and didn't give my employer any reason to have confidence in me. So I got this thing. I got a better job shortly after getting it so I guess it's working", he said.
"Well you know what the say drive for the job you want." They both laughed a little." But seriously you girlfriend sounds nice."
The rest of the trip was kind a quiet as they drove through downtown and Emmie admired the scenery. She hasn't really gotten a chance to just enjoy it since she's mostly been driving and inside.
They were finally at the restaurant. They went inside and were escorted to their table to find Peter's brother at the table. Peters brother looked up from his menu to see Emmie and Peter. They sat down in their seats on either sides of him. Peter break the silence." I thought you weren't going to be able to make it." He said looking at him confused.
"I was but I was able to get free so I thought I'd surprise. I didn't think you would replace me so soon, though." He turns to Emmie," I'm Rockwell, you must be Minnie. It's nice to finally meet you." He put his hand out for her to shake.
She reaches out her hand and starts to correct him when Peter jumps in and says," actually this is Emma my ex, she's new in town and doesn't know anyone and I thought you had stood me up again. And it's embarrassing eating alone." As he took his seat across the table from his brother.
He retorted," and it's not embarrassing eating with the woman who ghosted you and left you broken hearted for months? I know long distance is hard buddy but I can get you new pussy don't go back to old pussy."
Emmie stood there in awe of his ability to be so blunt about things he knows nothing of while she stands there with her hand still interlocked with his in a hand shake. "Ditto." Were the only words she managed to release from her mouth as she ripped her hand from his and looked into his dark brown eyes and began to question if she was actually angry anymore.
Peter laughed as her face turned bright red," he's screwing with you, he was on your side when we broke up and offered to answer the phone and explain to you that I had died or something to give you closure."
He said as he pull the chair out and motioned for her to be seated.
Rockwell just kinda giggled though he could see she didn't find it assuming but was too stubborn himself to apologize for give his brother a hard time and she just so happened to be more sensitive than expected. "The French toast isn't bad here, I think I might get that. What about you Emma, What are you gonna get?" He tried to keep a straight face as he looked into he green eyes hoping for some softening somewhere so they couldn't move pass his bad humor. Her lips tightened as he could tell he was gonna get a does of that southern spirit. "You're an ass and that's what I'm gonna call you but for you my name is Emmie and nothing else." She flipped her menu up and remained silent the rest of the meal as the brothers caught up on girl and work.
