Reba was having the absolute best day. It was quiet and calm and she had the entire house to herself for the evening. Friday evening, but still quietness was so nice. She had intended to relax so she picked out a movie, ordered a pizza, and was on her way upstairs to change clothes. As soon as she made it to the top of the stairs she heard the front door open and then close.
"Reba?" Brock called out. "You home?"
"You don't have to yell." she said, coming down the stairs. "What do you want?"
"I just wanted to come by and see what you were doing this evening."
"Nothing." she replied. "I'm going to spend the evening alone."
"Well that doesn't sound like very much fun." he said. "I'm alone for the evening too."
"And?"
"I thought maybe you and I could have dinner or something."
Reba exhaled noisily. "Thank you but no, Brock." she told him. "I really want to spend the evening alone."
"Come on, Reba" he was almost pleading. "When's the last time you and I had a meal together?"
"Not long enough."
"We can go wherever you want to go." he promised her. "It's on me."
She was silence for several long moments. She was scrambling to come up with something, with anything to get her out of this. And then suddenly it hit her. "I can't." she smiled triumphantly. "I've already ordered pizza. It'll be here any minute."
"You can eat that tomorrow." he said. "It'll be fun, I promise."
"Brock..."
"I'm not taking no for an answer." he said. "You and I are going to go out and have fun tonight. I'll be back to pick you up in twenty minutes."
"Brock." she called out after him. "I really don't want to go."
"Wear something nice." and like that he was out the door.
Reba stood defeated. And then she shook it off. She would just have to make the best of it she supposed. Maybe it wouldn't be that bad after all.
tbc...?
