Jeremiah
I stared at the words on my phone screen. Amanda left hours ago, I was up watching Iron Chef reruns when I got the text from Belly. She just wrote me a message telling me everything I could have ever wanted to read, see or hear from her. Where does Belly fall in this new Jere, do I go over there and hear her out? Do I let Conrad figure out his marriage. Can I have my cake and eat it too? I did just seduce Amanda, but she said herself we aren't exclusive.
My hands tremble like a school girl texting her crush, my fingers tap the letters slowly and cautiously because this is the biggest moment of change. I hold my breath staring down at my second text, when my fingers hot send I want to undo it, but it's too late now.
Jere: I'll be there tomorrow, let's have dinner.
An almost devilish voice in my head whispers to me, I hope she's for dinner.
What in the world is happening. I throw the phone down on my bed and close my eyes. Tomorrow is going to be a long day, hopefully a good one.
Work dragged out, I felt like I could not finish fast enough. The clock moved slower than a snail, a very slow snail. I worked three times as fast, the drive to Cousins is long and my patience is not. I was out of the office by 2PM and I hadn't texted Belly at all today. I figured she knew I was coming down, I'd call her on my way there.
This is a very short snippet of the full chaper, I'm hoping to see more review before I post the rest of it.
