chapter 1
There was a knock at the door, and John knew exactly who it was, Rose. He checked himself in the mirror one more time, adjusted his blue tie, and ran downstairs to open the door to see a pleased Rose, in a black cocktail dress.
"You look very nice, John." She sauntered inside, her heels clicking against the tile flooring, and paused to tie his tie right. "Thank you for accompanying me to my co-workers party, I have someone I want you to meet."
He rolled his eyes and smiled. "I didn't have a choice. You practically dragged me."
A small grin played on her black colored lips. "How else would I get you out of your house?"
Grabbing his keys and heading out the door, John explained that his job was at home working on the newspaper four days out of the week, writing his columns and then going to the newspaper and working there 3 days in the week.
"That still doesn't get you talking to people, John. That's why I want you to meet someone, I think you'll like them."
John drove up to the huge house, and parked in front. "Are you going to stay sober tonight?" He joked.
She gave him a face and winked. "No promises. Kanaya is here, so if i don't, I will be spending the night with her."
He locked the car door, and walked up the front steps, as the white wooden door swung open, and a tall, elegant woman stepped out to greet Rose.
"Welcome Rose, it's a pleasure to see you." Her dress was black as well, with green accents.
"Hello Kanaya, it's a pleasure to see you as well. This is John, He is an old friend of mine." Rose moved to the side, so Kanaya could give him a hug.
Inside, the house was decorated very beautifully. A large chandelier hung from the ceiling above a mahogany dining table, topped with all different kinds of appetizers that he couldn't recognize. Around the room, people were scattered and drinking out of wine glasses even though half of the people at her work couldn't drink yet.
Rose guided the distracted John over to another one of her friends. "John this is who I've been wanting you to meet. Dave, this is John."
He stood, aviator shades covering his eyes, straight faced, leaning against the wall. "Sup."
The rest of his outfit was a black blazer and jeans, over a white t-shirt and red tie. But that was enough to make him look like the best dressed man in the room. Noticing that he hasn't answered and was staring awkwardly, John blushed and answered. "Hey, it's nice to meet you."
"You too." Dave smirked. "Want a drink?"
Taking his offer, Dave went to get John a beer and they sat outside in the backyard in lawn chairs, telling how they know people at the party, and talking about random things. As soon as they knew it, It was midnight, and John stood up.
"I have to get going Dave, but it was nice to meet you!" He smiled, blushing lightly. He didn't want to leave just yet.
"See ya Egbert. Here, let me walk you out." He stood up, and with a straight face put his hand around Johns waist, walking him through the crowd of people staring inside, to his car.
When John got home, he was exhausted, but hyper at the same time. He wanted to see Dave again. He huffed, sitting down on his couch, and noticed a crumpled piece of paper in his jacket pocket. Pulling it out it said "When can I see you again? (419-500-0107) - Dave Strider"
Saving the number on his phone he sent a reply "When are you available?-John".
Not a second later, a message popped up on his screen. "Tomorrow night, 8 o'clock, Firewood. See you there."
It definitely a date.
