Chapter#22: So we're cool?.
"Gerald! There's a girl on the phone for you!." Timberly called to her brother from downstairs.
"A girl?." Gerald popped his head out of the bathroom with the toothbrush still in his mouth.
"A girl?." Mrs. Johanssen smiled cheekily at her boy when she walked past him.
"Oooh Gerald's got girls calling him now." Jamie-O chuckled and gave his younger borther a head rub.
Gerald immediately washed his mouth and rushed downstairs to the phone.
"Hello?."
"Gerald, hi." A modest voice squeaked.
"Phoebe?."
"Yeah I just-."
Gerald saw Jamie and Timberly eavesdropping on him.
" 'Ey! can I get some privacy in here?."
The two siblings chuckled and ran upstairs… there was a nine year age gap but no difference between those two.
"Sorry about that."
"It's alright I… I just wanted to apologize, for the dance. I didn't mean to hurt you Gerald."
"Na I understand, I should've been less of a big-head."
Silence for a few seconds…
"So we're cool?." She finally broke the silence.
Gerald chuckled inwardly at how cute she sounded. "Yeah we're cool."
"Cool."
"Cool."
… Cool.
