Timing Is Everything

Chapter 6

Despite the fact that I hated that hoe, I couldn't show her that directly cause her father was my dad's friend, and actually he was quite a decent man.
I always wondered how that hoe was this man's daughter.
For my dad's sake I had to treat her right, even though I hated her.
Nick: hey Nora, what's up?
Nora: you didn't answer me Nick
Nick: I'm fine thank you, how are you?
Nora: I didn't ask you if you were fine or not
Nick: I know, but I'm teaching you how to have a decent conversation.
Nora: NICK STOP BEING SUCH AN ASS AND ANSWER ME!!
Nick: fine fine, what's the question again?
Nora: have you talked to Chris recently?
Nick: maybe I have, maybe I haven't, why are you asking?
Nora: what do you mean "maybe"?
Nick: this time you didn't answer MY question
Nora: I have been trying to reach him, but he doesn't answer my calls or even text me back
Nick: have you two got into a fight again?
Nora: no

Seriously bitch?!! You got some balls! I wish I could tell her that in her face.

Nick: have you done anything wrong that might make him upset?
Nora: absolutely nothing
Nick: look, I gotta go, battery is about to die and I don't have my charger

She didn't reply to that.
Thank god!
I just couldn't bear her anymore.
You know what's worse than a liar? A stupid one.
She's so dumb, like she has taken dumb and dumber to a whole new level.

I was interrupted from my thoughts by my ringing phone.
By then I was really mad cause I thought it was Nora.
I didn't see the caller ID and just answered shouting "WHAT?!!"
"Nick?" Said a smooth low voice, a voice that could put a crying baby to sleep in a matter of seconds, a voice that paralyzes me every time it says my name.
"Yes" I said realizing how stupid I was
"It's Emma, Emma Anderson" said that angelic voice
"Oh.. Sorry I was expecting another call" I said
"Okay I'll call you some other time" said Emma
"No no no no no, now is perfect" I said eagerly
"Okay, I'm calling to tell you that today's lesson is canceled" said Emma

Are you fuckin kidding me?!! It's one of the few times that I get to see her at that biology course we take preparing for college.

"Why?! Why why?!" I said and surely sounded desperate
"I didn't know you liked that course so much" said Emma
"Oh no no, I mean.. umm thank god it's canceled, I hate it" I said trying to prepare some of the damage I caused.
"Okay, talk to you later" said Emma
"Okay" was all I said.

I sat there mesmerized, and wondering how much I loved hearing her say my name.
I loved my name when she said it however cheesy that may seem but my name sounded a lot better when she said it.

That girl was beautiful, not miss universe of course, but her laugh always dropped my jaw wide open. it was the most beautiful laugh I've ever seen.

I looked at the clock and was shocked when I realized how long I've been sitting in my room just texting and speaking on the phone, so I decided to go out and the first person that came to my mind to call was my *always free to do anything* friend Joe.

"Jooeee" I shouted when he answered
"Niiiiick" shouted Joe back at me, we were always on the same page and he could understand me by just looking to my eyes or listening to my voice and how it sounded
"Wassup dude?" I said
"Nothing just sitting around" said Joe
"Same here, I'm bored as fuck, let's go out somewhere and do something stupid" I said
"You read my mind bro" said Joe laughing
"Okay I'm coming to you right now" I said
"And go where?" Asked joe
"We'll think of that later" I said
"Okay I'm waiting" said Joe

I wore the first thing that met my eyes some navy sweatpants and a light grey hoodie and a navy crocs.
As you can see I don't care how my clothes look as much as I care how comfortable they are.

Joe lived a few blocks away, so I walked.
After about 10 minutes I reached Joe's, but of course he wasn't waiting outside, he's too lazy to do that.
I rang the bell, and his younger brother Sam opened the door.

"I suppose you've come for Joe, and he was supposed to be waiting, but he wasn't. And because I know you know my brother well, you already figured out that he's sleeping" said Sam
"I hoped that I was wrong" I said laughing.

I entered Joe's room and found him sleeping like a dumb sloth.

I was dying to prank him with cold water or something, but I knew that with this guy karma is really a bitch, besides he was already dressed and that would delay us.
So I made Sam wake him up.

"Nick you're late" said Joe who hasn't even fully opened his eyes
"I know I know I'm always late" I said smiling
"Okay I'm ready, let's roll" said Joe after splashing his face with water an wearing his glasses.

We came out of the house and walked for a little bit, he was asking me about Emma and how's the whole thing going, I told him about *the accidental shout at Emma incident*.
And of course all he did was to laugh his ass out, Classic Josef.

"You know what joe? There's something I just realized" I said
"What?" Asked Joe
"You're the only guy I know that doesn't have a special girl in mind" I said
"You know that I'm not into all that relationships shit" said Joe
"I know, but.." I said when Joe interrupted me "oh crap, I forget to tell you"
"Tell me what?" I asked
"I do have a special girl in mind now" said Joe excitedly

What?! Joe never called a girl special, that's because he likes all girls, he's our little Casanova who doesn't think that only one girl is enough.

I wonder who's that mystery girl that brought Joe to his senses?
