~*Hey guys; sorry this chapter is so short, I didn't want it to drag, but it's all good!*~

It was 11:30. Needless to say our entire day was completely silent. And of course, we only had 3 calls, leaving us stuck in the car most of the day. I grabbed by bag and changed before Faith and "The Girls" walked into the locker room. Maybe I did blow it out of proportion. I don't know. I didn't even go home to shower. I just stopped by my mom's place after work. She was in Miami for a week with her friends, so it was pretty much Gina running the place.

"Hey Sweetie, What can I get for you?"

"Whatever. It really doesn't matter."

"You all right?" She gave me a funny look.

I nodded.

After about 6 beers, I needed to get home. I had things to do before work tomorrow and needed to get up early.

"You get some rest sweetie, Don't worry, you work for her, you'll get her."

I gave Gina a weak smile and headed toward the door.

I walked out and made a right. It was almost 12:30. I walked past Martinelli's and noticed Faith was there. Oh...right...her date with "Stock Broker Michael." I looked around, it was just her and two other couples in there.

Should I walk in? I need to apologize. I could go in, apologize, and come out before he got back...back...where was he? Faith took a sip of her drink. There was no sign of another person at her table. That jag-off stood her up.

I walked in, hesitantly, and walked up to her table and half smiled, "Hey."

"Bosco, what are you doing here?" she asked seeming a bit embarrassed.

"I...uh...I wanted to apologize."

"What?"

I sat down.

"I wanted to apologize for snapping at you back at work."

"Oh....well it wasn't all your fault, Bos, I got a bit 'snappy' too." She smiled.

"Where's your date?" I asked almost in a sorrowful whisper.

She gave me a forced smile, "I think he stood me up."
