Chapter 2: Surprises
"Go on, call him!" I held the phone in my hand starring at it. Should I? No wait what am I thinking I could be killed over this phone call. I couldn't.
"Francie, you don't understand I can't, we work together and our bosses don't like, nor allow co-workers to date." I decided being, as close to the truth as possible was the best way to go. I should have known though Francie wouldn't care, she didn't understand. She was her own boss at her restaurant.
"So call him anyway and quit the bank tomorrow."
"You know I can't do that." Personally I would love to quit the 'bank' but I've tried that and I almost was killed.
"Well I don't know about that, you work to much anyways. But at least tell me his name."
I paused, should I tell her? I guess a first name wouldn't hurt since there were probably a million Michaels in the world. Ok, I will.
"Michael. Michael is his name, satisfied?"
"No, I still want to know more about this Michael, but I'm already late so I have to get going. Enjoy your 'lonely' night at home." I rolled my eyes at her attempt to make me feel bad. It didn't work though.
"Yeah, yeah. See you later. Enjoy the party."
"Bye!" After Francie left I was relieved. It was like I had just played a long game of "20 Questions" but I was answering them all and didn't get to ask any at all. It had made me tired. I was just about to go change into my pjs when the phone rang.
"Joey's pizza"
"Wrong number"
I was tired but was more than happy to go meet Vaughn. I decided to change anyway 'cause I looked like a wreck. I picked out a denim mini skirt, and a white halter-top with a low-neck drop. I fixed my hair up in a bun, out of my face. I grabbed my makeup and quickly fixed my face up. When I finished I stared at myself in the mirror for a minute.
Why was I doing all of this for Vaughn? It was just another one of our many short meetings. When did I start to care about how I looked whenever he saw me?
I didn't know any of the answers to the questions going through my head, but was I maybe getting "emotionally attached?" I grabbed a jacket on my way out and hurried to the warehouse, since I was already running late.
"Sorry I'm late everyone" I had gotten so caught up with talking to syd I had gotten to the restaurant about a half an hour later than I wanted to. The party was going to start at 7:00pm and it was already 6:00. Plenty of people were there helping though so I wasn't too worried.
"Hey Francie" I turned to see Will in front of me. "Hey Will, what are you doing here?"
"I thought you could use the help setting the place up, so I came on down."
"Wow, thanks. I sure could use the help since I got caught up at home."
"Yeah, what took you so long to get here? Weren't you planning on being here around 5:30?"
"Yeah, but Syd came home early from her trip and we got talking."
"Oh, is she here now, or is she going to come later?" Will started to look around for syd. I smiled and could tell he didn't really want to talk with me but with syd.
"No, she didn't want to come. She said she was tired and just wanted to stay home and rest. She didn't want to be a third wheel with me and Erik either."
"Didn't she know I was going to be here?"
"I told her to call you but I think she wanted to come with someone else." I said with a little smile and sneakiness in my voice.
"What are you talking about?" Will was confused about what I had said and rightfully so. I wasn't sure if syd would want me to elaborate but I did anyway.
"It seems our Syd has a crush on someone from work. A Michael someone." As I said his name Will's eyes grew wider.
"Do you know him?" I asked him. He looked as if he did recognize the name but there were probably a million Michaels so who knows whom this Michael is. Will snapped out of the gaze and answered me.
"Oh, no. Sorry, I don't know who he is."
"Well, anyway syd wouldn't ask him to the party so instead she wanted to just stay home and sleep/rest."
"Oh, ok." And then we dropped the subject and went back to work setting up the place.
