Until I Met You

Chapter Four

I came home to an angry-looking Emma. Shit! I totally forgot about our plan to go to the mall.

"Before you say anything, I got a job and I had coffee with Mr.brown eyes," I said in a rush, hoping it would divert her, and I was right.

"Oh my god, tell me everything, did you kiss? What did he say? Are you meeting him again?" She got up from the couch and pounced on me before I could even sit my ass down.

"Woah! Slow down, let me at least breathe," I chuckled and sat down on the couch and she sat down beside me.

"I just happened to run into him and he invited me for a cup of coffee. We just hung out," I replied casually so that it didn't seem like a big deal.

"Well, go on." She urged me with curiosity sparkling in her eyes.

"Well nothing, we said our goodbyes and left." I shrugged and started playing with the ends of my worn-out tanktop. She wasn't convinced and narrowed her eyes at me, suspiciously. God, I could never keep anything from this woman.

"Alright, he gave me his number and told me to call him." I smiled shyly, not meeting her eyes and she screeched in delight.

"What are you waiting for? Call him." She clapped her hands excitedly, ready to play matchmaker.

"Not gonna happen," I said in a firm tone.

"C'mon, I haven't seen him yet but from the way you react I can see he has got your attention so why don't you put yourself out of misery and give him a damn call," She rolled her eyes and fell back on the couch.

"He might be a fuck boy for all I know. He is just looking for some fun." I replied quietly, thinking about all the girls fawning over him.

"Well if that's the case, even you aren't ready for a relationship, Why don't you have some fun? With him." She winked her eyes in a suggestive manner and I gasped.

"I cannot believe you are even suggesting it. That's a horrible idea and you know it." I gave her a dirty look and she giggled at my response.

"Hey I just want you to be happy, however, that's achieved. You should definitely get laid to know what I'm talking about, my sweet little virgin." She teased me, making my cheeks go red in embarrassment and I smacked her arm.

"Let's go out and have some real fun." I tried to change the subject before she could tease me any further.

"Yes ma'am." She was more than ready to go and we both left the house shortly.

After what seemed like three hours of endless shopping and fun, we were exhausted and tired. I headed straight to my room, once we reached home and took a mini nap. The loud ringing of my phone woke me up. I answered groggily not seeing the caller ID.

"Hey, Ashley" I recognized the voice immediately.

"Chad??" I sounded surprised.

"Yeah, it's me. I was hoping if I could come by and hang out." He sounded hesitant.

"Uhh... yeah sure, I'll text you my address." I was still sleepy. He must have thought I was not interested but I was actually surprised. How did he get my number? I don't remember giving it to him. Maybe he got it from some application forms or student portal. I didn't read much into and brushed it aside.
