Sitting in a food court at Pat Henry Mall he feasted on a chicken sandwich and fries while she got a slice of pizza and also fries. They sat down for an express lunch since she had a report to work on and he had a shift at the office (many reports). It really was beginning to look like this thing they had, a fireball of sex from the start, was about to turn into something of a relationship.
But a halter hit today, "I won't really be able to get together until Thursday night, but I do want to see if we could make some plans for Thursday night." So in communicating their cause could advance.
"Did you want to do something Friday, too. I don't think I told you – it's my birthday." She fingered her crust while looking down at the tray. Maybe she was a bit nervous about the reply, maybe it was a test of interest.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm working again that night, I can do a lunch like this in the daytime..."
His interest and his offer was enough for now, "OK. That' night's just as well anyways, I've set up something for the evening, gift for myself."
"Oh, really. A date?"
"Well, I guess, well. You remember I told you something went missing from my room?"
"Yes."
"Well, I know a little 22 year old bitch who has that and some other stuff to atone for." She said and folded her lips down over her straw to take a long drink.
"Oh, OK, I get it. Well on that thought, maybe with Thursday night we could finish settling certain scores ourselves, but if you'd rather not because of your birthday ..."
"No, no," she was afraid now that her seriousness was at test, "let's..." a sigh and eyes closed, "... Let's get this done. I told you I'd do what it takes, now let's get it taken care of."
