Chapter 3- Dinner Date
When I pulled up to my house, just about every light was on. I walked inside and put my books away. I smelled spaghetti cooking and joined my parents at the table.
"So how was your day at work?" my father asked. He spooned out food and passed the bowl.
"It was really good. The guys are a lot neater than I thought they would be." I chuckled and handed the food to my mom.
"They didn't give you a hard time, right?" my mom asked, furrowing her brow.
"Oh my god mom! I told you I could handle myself." I grumbled. She dropped the subject.
"By the way, Savannah called while you were at work. She said just to text her later when you got home." She said, I nodded and we kept eating dinner.
After studying, I called Savannah to update her.
"Carly! Why didn't you tell me you had a job?" Savannah's chirpy voice squeaked out.
"I just started work today and had a big study session last night, so I couldn't text you." I replied.
"So your mom said it's a cleaning job? Who do you work for?"
"Well that's actually the thing. You know how I absolutely love Markiplier?"
"Tell me you don't work for him!" Savannah was screaming into the phone. I laughed and shushed her.
"You can't tell anyone! I don't want to mess this opportunity up! Swear you'll be quiet!" I said, sternly.
"Do you know how much money you could make? You could get stuff from their house and sell it on Ebay! This is golden!"
"No! I'm not doing that!"
"It doesn't have to be anything big! Come on!"
"I said no, Savannah. I wouldn't want someone to do that to me, so I refuse to do that to them." I replied.
"God! You're wasting a good thing. But whatever! I have to go study. Talk to you later." Savannah said, hanging up. I sighed and threw my phone onto my bedside table. I crawled under the covers and drifted off to sleep.
When I got up the next morning, there was a text from an unknown number waiting to be seen. It read:
Hey Carly, this is Mark, you don't have to come into work today since it's Friday, but the guys and I were talking and we wanted to invite you to dinner here. You don't have to come, we just figured it would be a nice way to get to know you! Anyway, you can text back or whatever to let me know.
I texted back immediately and accepted. Butterflies were banging around in my belly. I couldn't believe Mark had just texted me!
I grabbed my books and headed toward the front door.
"Mom, I'm eating dinner with the guys I work for, so I may be out late." I shouted, heading out the door.
I headed for school. The day would drag on, now that I had exciting plans for the night. I knew I wouldn't be able to handle myself for the next few hours.
"Nervous?" Tom Baker asked. He was in most of my classes. I kind of got the hint he liked me, but he had never admitted it to my face. He was kind of cute, but I knew I was always busy with school, so I never entertained the thought of dating him.
"Oh? No, it's not really nerves. Just excitement," I said. He threw a questioning look. "We get our biology exams back today, remember?" I chuckled, trying to get him off the subject. He laughed.
"I didn't think you'd be excited to get the scores back. So, any plans tonight? Maybe if the scores are high enough we could go out to celebrate?"
"Actually, I have work after this, sorry. Maybe we can another time though?"
"Of course! I'll hold you to it, Carly. Don't forget!" he laughed and turned around in his seat to take notes during class.
After school, I headed towards Mark's house. I was excited to eat with the guys. They seemed like a fun group.
As soon as I walked up the front steps, Mark opened the door.
"I thought I heard a car pull up! Welcome, Carly!" he held the door open wide for me and motioned for me to walk in.
"Carly! How was your day?" Ryan asked, walking up behind Mark.
"Very busy." I laughed. They led me to the table. Chicken and salad were on the table with a variety of side items to go with it. I took a little of everything and poured water into my cup.
"So what are you going to school for again?" Matt asked, eating some of the salad he had scooped on his plate.
"I am going to be a nurse. I've only just started school though, so I'm doing my prerequisites," Matt nodded "What about you guys? How is work?"
"It's definitely a busy thing to do. Making videos and editing is a time consuming chore. But it's worth it when we get to meet fans." Mark said.
"That's nice. I've been watching for a while now. All of your content makes me laugh. I usually wait till the end of the day. It helps end my days," I remarked.
"Do you date?" Ryan was asking. Looks were fired his way. "Well I heard that nursing school can get hectic."
"Ah well. At the moment, I'm not dating. Not saying I wouldn't date if someone asked. Just nobody has asked," I laughed. Mark made eye contact and I blushed. "Excuse me" I moved from the table and shuffled to the nearest bathroom.
