"Hey Y/N, we're all going for drinks later I wanted to ask-"
I jumped from the sudden ringing from the phone on my desk.
My eyes watched it intently waiting for it to stop ringing.
"Aren't you going to answer that?" My co-worker Kendra questioned.
Luckily, it stopped ringing before I could come up with a lie.
"Sorry, what were you saying?" I said facing her fully again.
"I was saying later-" the phone cut Kendra again and I slightly huffed.
I waited for it to ring again and Kendra spoke up, "The phone." she motioned to it.
I knew who it was and I didn't want to pick it up.
My hand slowly picked up the phone and I place it to my ear carefully listening.
"Hello, Y/N speaking."
Silence.
"Hello..."
He was on the other end, listening, breathing, waiting.
He still refused to speak, the way he always did.
I place it back down and pursed my lips.
If Kendra wasn't there, I would of shouted at him to leave me alone or wept bitter tears.
"It's nobody, just the wrong number." I shook my head.
"Would you like to come with us for drinks later?"
"I would but I'm drained, I got a lot of work to catch up on."
"Alright, another time?"
"Yeah, for sure."
The phone rang again and Kendra smiled at me wearily, "I'll see you later. Have a nice rest of the day." she said before turning around and going back to her seat.
I picked up the phone harshly speaking into it, "What?"
"That's a new way to pick up the phone." my mom said.
