Wedding Plan

Chapter 7: the phone call

I go back home to find a package waiting for me. Opening it I find a note of my grandfather.

"I know you will make the right decision" with picture of him and the hospital chairman. This old man is too sure of himself.

For once I decide to clean all the place. It took me all day but it's sparkling. I made my choice, the only thing remaining is to see my robot to explain this mess to him.

After my dinner I saw the familiar name flash on my phone's screen "Hot robot". I changed it from Cold to hot since yesterday, hot for warm not sexy of course.

- I had to go, I hope you were not too sad love.

An involuntary smile is formed on my lips at his words.

- You won't stop calling me that right?

A light chuckle answers me, making me smile.

We talk about our day, him with investors and meetings, me with dirty dishes.

- Do not laugh, getting over a dirty plate is probably as hard as convincing chilly investors, it took me 4 hours of soaking and more than a quarter of an hour of recurring!

His laughter intensifies with my declaration and becomes communicative, I giggle uncontrollably. When I recover I decide to gather my courage.

- When are free?

- You want to take me on a date? He teases me.

- Just answer! I say seriously.

Damn this guy isn't helping at all!

- Saturday, I plan to go see Ann. Do you want to come with me?

- Yes of course.

- Great, I'll tell you more details tomorrow. Goodnight love.

- Goodnight.

The call gets disconnected suddenly.

Did he hang up just like that? It's not a speed contest!

I shake my head. I'm starting to behave more and more strangely lately. I don't know what this robot is doing to me. Wait did he said tomorrow? He's going to call me Wednesday?

I go to the bathroom to take a shower, I need to clean up After all the dust I fought today. I stop in front of the mirror. Since when do I have such a stupid smile on my face?

The week passes slowly until Friday arrives, everyday ending his phone call. I noticed I was waiting for it, when I caught myself staring at my phone expectantly Tuesday night... Though I'll never admit it to a living soul.

- How was your day love? He greets me.

Boring and long...

- Like usual, just the routine. And you, still at work?

- Yes, I have some papers to work on.

10 pm and still at work, I'm starting to wonder if he's not worse than me.

- Don't forget to eat and rest, you need to take care of yourself, I advise him.

Damn I sound like Kit and Pha when they're lecturing me. Maybe I should learn to have more leisure time too.

- Are you worried about me? He inquires.

- It's my job, a as... a future wife...
