"i guess i could do that."

When I got home from seeing Ashlee, I felt better than I’ve felt in a very long time. I finally felt at peace. I looked around this big empty house and thought I’d like to have some company.

Yesterday, I picked up the phone and called Chad.

“What are you doing Saturday night?” I asked him.

“Let me check my busy social schedule.” I heard him flipping through pages of what I suspected was a magazine. “Hmmm…looks like I’m open. Sounds like you have something in mind for me, Red. Would you like to tell me what I’m gonna be doing?” he snickered a little too loudly.

What he said made me laugh. “I’d like to ask if you’d like to come here and hang out with me. Maybe have dinner together and watch a movie later?”

I could hear his big grin over the phone. “I guess I could do that,” he replied.
