Friday is here.
The plan is to take Ella and Danny to my parents, go on our date on the lake, then pick them up after.
I put on the button up, and walked out to the living room, slipping my shoes on.
Me: Ella girl, are you about ready?
She came running out with her backpack dragging on the floor, Happy right behind her.
Ella: YYYYEP!
We all piled up and headed out.
Ella ran up to the door like she owned the place and knocked
A very flustered looking Charley answered the door with her phone stuck to her face.
Flustered or not. She looked fuckin cute. She had a dark green flowy dress, and flip flops on. Her curly hair looked tame, and she had some light make up on.
Damn.
She smiled and mouthed "give me just a sec"
Then opened the door for us to walk in.
Her house was cozy. Dannys toys were strung about the place, there were books piled on everything, along with plants.
Charley: Well you said you'd send someone out a few weeks ago, and no one has shown up still. This is my third time calling. I need it fixed.
I looked over at her, she was picking up dishes and putting them in the sink. Ella ran off to find Danny.
Charley: Aright. Thank you.
She hung up and looked over at me
Charley: Ugh. I'm sorry. Hi!
Me: What's wrong?
She picked up some papers off of the table
Was she really cleaning right now?
Charley: The repairman still hasnt come out to fix the dryer, and it's just becoming a pain in the ass. And the house is a mess, I'm a little embarrassed about that, I didnt think I'd be on the phone so long, So i didnt know you all would be coming in. I'm sorry.
Me: Alright. First off, your house isn't a mess. So stop trying to clean things.
She looked over at me with two books in her hands like she had just been caught.
Me: Second, if you're cool with Happy coming in the house, I can take a look at your dryer. Really. I told you before I wouldnt mind.
Charley smiled and put her hands on her hips.
Charley: First off, that sweet boy is always welcome in this house.
She was mocking me, while i was trying to help her.
Charley: second, i cant ask you to do that.
I rolled my eyes, hurried outside to grab Happy and my toolbox and came back in.
Me: Wheres it at?
She huffed and started walking down the hall.
She had pictures, books and plants all over the place.
