I was laying in my bed later that night with thoughts of Claire. Why did she have to leave me? She said I was manipulating her? I really don't think so.. I just wanted to keep her with me because I love her. My phone vibrating took me out of my inner thought. I ganced down at the screen. It was Imogen. I read the text "Hey" I sighed and wrote back. Maybe I should ask her out and get my plans to win back Claire done already. Maybe it is moving to quickly I did just meet her afterall. I picked up my phone and called her instead.
"Hello?" Imogen answered the phone on the first ring.
"It's Eli" I replied slowly.
"Well duh."
"So what's up?" Smooth Eli. Smooth. I thought to myself.
"Same old. How about you Eli Goldsworthy?"
"I was wondering if you would like to go get something to eat with me sometime?"
"Right now?"
"It's late now. Maybe tomorrow?" Did she really just suggest now?
"Why not Eli? No time like the present." I was just listening to her talk and made my quick decision.
"Ok. Meet me at the bench we were at earlier."
"See you soon Eli Goldsworthy." She then hung up the phone. What did I agree to? A date tonight? This is all to get Claire back. I slowly walked down the stairs with my cane in hand and slide out the front door slowly. I had stolen the keys to my dad's car and drove to the bench to wait for Imogen.
