Chapter Ten
The next morning Joey got up, he took a shower, got dressed and went to the kitchen to fix himself something for breakfast.
When he was done, he did the dishes, got his things ready, and walked out the door. After locking it, he walked over to his truck and as he got in and tried to start it, nothing.
Joey got out and slammed the door shut, he started cussing, and boy did he turn the air blue. He opened the hood and he got his tools out of the back, undid the battery cables, and got the battery out.
He took the battery and opening the trunk of his car, he sat the battery in the box he had put there and as he closed the trunk, he was still cussing.
Joey drove to the garage and he noticed Jack and Darrell's cars were already there. When he got out of his car, he heard music coming for inside the garage, and he opened the Office door and went to the side door to the garage and there he witnessed the craziest thing he had ever seen.
There in the middle of the garage was Darrell, he had some kind of rag on his head, and he was acting like a woman. Jack was standing near Darrell, he had some kind of thing on his head, and Jack said to Darrell, "My Princess will you dance with me?"
Darrell curtsied and Jack bowed and then Jack took Darrell in his arms and they pranced around the garage to the sound of "Someday My Prince Will Come."
Just then, Rob and Rich came in, they stood behind Joey and they were all witnessing this scene and they couldn't keep the laughter inside any more, they all started laughing and both Jack and Darrell jumped and they both fell to the floor.
Joey said through his laughter, "What in the hell are you two doing?"
Darrell and Jack got up off the floor and Darrell said, "I was talking to Jack about what it would have been like to see you all decked out and dancing with Ms. Ishtar."
Rob and Rich both backed up because they thought that Joey would be angry, but all he did was start laughing and he said, "Well I was a lot better looking then Jack and she looked a whole lot better then you."
Then Jack said, "No hard feelings."
Joey said, "Well I haven't decided yet, but if you go get that battery out of the trunk of my car and go get it exchanged and then put it back into my truck, well I just might let you both off the hook."
Jack and Darrell both bolted out of the garage and as they did, Rob and Rich looked at Joey and he said, "Hell I can't be angry at them or at either of you.
You are all are like my family but I will say this, no one had ever tell Ms. Ishtar about this or I'll beat the hell out of all of you."
Joey walked back into the Office and Rob and Rich started getting things ready for another day of work.
At the Ishtar's house:
Ishizu and Odeon were getting ready for work when the phone rang. Odeon answered it, he heard Joey's voice, and he smiled. "What can I do for you this morning?"
Joey said, "What kind of food does you sister like?"
Odeon looked at the phone and then he asked, "Why, are you thinking of bringing her something to eat?"
Joey chuckled and he said, "No, I asked her to go to dinner with me sometime and I don't know what she likes to eat."
Ishizu was still in her room so Odeon told Joey, "She loves Italian food."
Joey thanked him and he said, "Please don't let her know that I called and asked you."
Odeon assured him that he wouldn't and as he hung up the phone, Ishizu came out of her room and she asked him, "Who was on the phone?"
Odeon jumped and he put the phone down and erased the Caller I D so that she wouldn't know who called and he told her, "It was a wrong number. Are you ready to go now?"
She smiled at him because she knew that he wasn't telling her the truth and she'd find out later who called. She told him, "Yes, I'm ready. Let's go."
Odeon pulled into the parking lot of the Museum and as they got out of the car, Ishizu started walking to the side entrance and when she got inside, she spoke to the guard and said, "Good morning."
When she got to her Office, she picked up the phone and she called Douglas. Douglas answered his phone, "Hello, can I help you."
Ishizu said, "Douglas I need you to do something for me please."
Douglas knew that it probably had something to do with Odeon and he said, "What can I do for you?"
"This morning someone called the house and when I asked Odeon about it, he jumped and he erased the Caller I D. I need you to find out who called and why."
Douglas sighed and then he said, "Alright I'll try, but I can't guarantee I'll find out if Odeon doesn't want to tell me."
She thanked him and then she hung up the phone. She was really determined to find out who called.
Just then her phone rang and she jumped and she picked it up and she heard Joey' voice and she smiled. "Hello, how are you this morning?" Joey asked her.
She told him, " I'm fine and thank you again for last night, I had a wonderful time."
Joey gripped hold of the phone because the sound of her voice was doing things to his body and he was very uncomfortable right now. "I was wondering if we could have dinner tonight."
She closed her eyes because his voice was doing things to her body and all she could think of was kissing him. "I'd love that." She told him.
Joey then said, "How about if I come over around five this evening. I hope you like Italian, because I know of this nice place that has the best Italian food."
She knew immediately that it as Joey who called, because Odeon knew she loved Italian food and so she told Joey, "I'll be ready, and I love Italian food."
He told her, "I'll see you then." And the phone went dead. She then dialed Douglas's phone and when he answered she told him, "Never mind trying to get Odeon to tell you, I already know who called the house."
Douglas was so confused. Then he said, "Alright." And the hung the phone up.
Joey went back to work and as the day progressed, all he could think of was Ishizu and at times he completely forgot what he was doing and Jack thought it was cute.
By the quitting time, Joey finally got things done, and as the men were cleaning up to get ready to go home, he thought about tonight and he was really getting nervous.
When it was finally time to quit, he said good-bye to all of them and as he locked up the garage and got into his car to go home, he knew that tonight was going to be a very special night.
Ishizu finally noticed that it was time for her to quit so she got her things together, she went to Odeon's Office, he was locking the door, and he said, "Ready to go home?"
She smiled and said, "Yes."
As they walked out to the car, she turned to him, and she said, "Did you tell Joseph that I loved Italian food?"
She caught him off guard and he said, "Yes" and then he realized what she did and she laughed and told him, "I love you but you're like an open book when it comes to trying to keep something from me."
He laughed as he drove home. When they got there, she got out and she told him, "Joseph's taking me out to dinner tonight, and I'd better get inside and get ready."
Odeon smiled as he watched her go inside and then he locked the car, went inside, and got dinner ready for him and Douglas.
Ishizu went to her room and she looked through her closet for something to wear. She got out a couple of things but nothing went together, so we went out to the kitchen and she asked Odeon, "Can you help me, I don't know what to wear tonight."
Odeon knew that she was nervous and so he said, "Why don't you wear the outfit that I bought you for your birthday, its elegant enough for you to wear any place."
She kissed his cheek, then she went to her closet and got out the outfit that he had got for her. It was a rose color blouse with puffed sleeves. It had an empire waist and it accentuated her bust line and it flowed around her hips, the pants fit beautifully on her body and as she looked into the mirror, she smiled at what she saw.
She walked out of her room looking confident and ready for her date with her man. When she went to the kitchen, Odeon turned around, he whistled at her, and that caused her to blush. "You look beautiful tonight." Odeon said.
Joey got home, took a shower and went to his closet where he took out his favorite leisure suit and put it on. He then picked up his keys and walked out the door, locked it and got into his car and drove over to Ishizu's for their date.
He pulled into the driveway of Ishizu's home and as he got out of the car, he walked up to the door and he knocked.
Odeon opened it and he smiled. "Come on in, she's almost ready." Odeon said.
Ishizu walked into the living room and Joey bowed and said, "You look beautiful this evening."
She blushed when he said that and then she went over kissed him. Joey said, "We'd better get going, I made reservations for tonight."
