Chapter 38
Edward
"Sooooo, you`re saying you`ve been chatting up a cool girl online and now you aren`t sure you wanna see her? Fuck, let me go instead!"
"Em, some of these women are lunatic. I met one for a drink a few weeks ago, but we didn`t hit it off, so I said thank you, have a nice life. Yesterday that same woman appeared in my office, asking why I hadn`t been calling her! In front of patients!"
"She tracked you down and came to see you at work?! Where`s The Food?!"
"I don`t want to paint all with the same brush, but I don`t need another macadamia harassing me at my work place!"
"Jeez, I don`t envy you, Edward. Maybe this is a punishment for not telling me about you online social life?"
"Or maybe I`m really clueless."
"Ed, the offer stands, I can go see that Rose girl instead of you. Apparently she thinks she`s meeting `Emmett` anyway! If she`s a wicked witch, I`ll run, and if she`s fine, then you can watch us have fun, how`s that?"
"You are a disgusting son of a gun."
"Either that or you`ll need a bodyguard to fight off the nuts! I`ll take Rose to a restaurant and once I`m convinced that she`s sane, I`ll tell her that I`m not really you and then you can do the apologizing and all the rest."
"You will sit near the window, so I can see you from my car parked outside," I command.
"Yes, sir," Emmett agrees.
I feel shit about this, but yesterday`s scene in the waiting room at work was intimidating and startling.
Please, Rose, forgive me.
