That I’m missing you?
“Maybe I just wanted to hear your voice? Is that shocking?”Because it is to me.
I could hear her smile. “A bit. And I’m glad you’re not backing out. I mean, the weather is not looking favorable.”
“If it rains, we do something else. I mean, it’s Boston. There are endless things to do here.”
“What are your favorite things to do?” she asked.
I walked right into that one. I wanted to hear about her, not me. “I...haven’t done as much here as I would like. Do you have any suggestions if we get rained out?”
“Do you like live music?”
“Some. Not a headbanger, and the opera puts me to sleep. What are you thinking?” I questioned.
“Country?”
“Definitely. Would you rather go to a concert?” I offered.
“What if it is sunny on Sunday?” she asked.
I had the perfect answer. “Okay. How about I pick you up at seven as planned? You can pack your beach attire. If it is sunny, then off to the beach. I could also bring something for dinner, and we could go to a concert after. There is no reason why we can’t do it all, is there?”
She laughed. “All in one day?”
“Why not? Do you have something else that day?”
“No. I’m free,” she said.
“Good. Then it’s a date.”
“Yes, it’s a date. See you Sunday, Cameron. Good night.”
“Sweet dreams, Sydney,” I said, ending the call.
I know I’m about to have some.
CHAPTER 8
Sydney
“An entire day? What happened to the beach?” Amanda asked.
I picked up another slice of pizza and said, “It’s still on so far, but that will depend on whether the sun shines or not. But at least we have a backup plan.”
“Sounds like more than a backup plan. If you ask me, he wants to spend as much time with you as he can. I am surprised that you and Cameron didn’t hook up last night,” she giggled. “Or did you and you don’t want to tell me?”
I glared at her. “No. We did not hook up. And you know me better than that. I don’t do one-night stands.”That is more your style.
“True. You’re not that adventurous. Someday you’ll loosen up and have some fun.”
“Fun? What is fun about having sex with a stranger?” I said, a bit too loud and the couple at the next table shot us a surprised look before laughing. It was an odd conversation to have overdinner, but to me, it was risky behavior. Turning my attention back to Amanda, I said, “Too dangerous.”
“I use protection,” she replied.
I rolled my eyes. “Would you take your dog to a park and let him lose to play with a strange dog?”
“You’re comparing me to a dog?”
