November Second. Travis sat in his large teal chair and grabbed a candy bar from the bowl he kept on the shelf just in arms reach. Whenever he faced a problem the bowl would give him an answer by the candy he grabbed. He felt the wrapper in his hand and looked down.
There staring back at him was once again the easy answer to his easy predicament, what to do with this neighbor girl. How had he not thought of this answer before?
He stuffed the candy in his pocket and strode over to his phone. He dialed the number she had left for him. "Call me if you need someone to talk to" She had said
One ring. What was he doing?
two rings. this was a bad Idea
Three rings. He should just hang up now.
"Hello?" The breath he had been holding for the past few moments released as he tried to figure out what the hell he was doing and what to say.
"Yes, this is Travis" he stuttered
"Sorry I can't hear you" The voice on the other line shouted
"This. Is. Travis." He said with a little more voice
"Sorry, what?"
"THIS IS TRAVIS!" He shouted into the phone
"Hi" the voice sang, "is what I would say if I were here, which I'm not, so leave a message and I may listen to it"
Travis just stood there with his mouth open. He left a message asking her to call him back, and that he wanted to talk. As he looked down at his hand which had found the candy he had just put in his pocket.
A Kiss.
