Chapter 8: Can I Call You Sometime?

"Edward, you ready to leave, bro"?

They had played pool and darts for over two hours.

"C'mon, we've got to slide, dude. What's up, you thinking about that singing waitress? Just ask her for her number and let's get out of here".

"Alright, alright, you guys wait outside, I'll be right there".

Sissy noticed Mr. Green Eyes and his friends getting ready to leave.

"Sissy? The bartender told me your name, I hope you don't mind. I'm leaving now, but I'd like to talk with you some more about music sometime. Could I call you? My name is Edward".

"Edward, it's nice to meet you. I'd love to talk with you about music again. The number here at THE BAR is 555-1234. I'm here most of the time".

"I have to call you here? I can't call you at home or on a cell phone"?

"This is the only contact number I have" she replied, shrugging her shoulders.

Authors Note: Do you get the feeling something is up with her?
