“Complicated?” he asked. “That’s all you can say?”
“Yeah, it’s a long story…a really long back story to the theory and there is no way of saying it quickly.”
“Now you really got me interested,” he pointed out.
“Like I said, it’s a long story,” she went on. “And maybe one day I will tell you about it, but today is definitely not the day. And definitely not like this.”
“Then when?” he asked.
“One day soon. Maybe,” she said in a soft voice.
“Is that a promise?” he asked hoping she would answer in the affirmative, but instead, it was one of those questions she was silent to.
“What are you doing right now?” she asked, to his surprise.
“I just got home. I’m just sitting in my car outside my building.”
“Why aren’t you going in?” she asked and he shook his head as if she could see him.
“I don’t know…I got your number from Randy earlier today after my shift was done.”
“Randy Lockwood?” she asked.
“So, Macy…I’ll just cut to the chase and do this.”
“Do what? What are you talking about?”
“I want to see you again…I’d like to make you dinner or something.”
“You’d like to make me dinner?” she asked.
“We kind of moved a little fast. I mean, I have already gone past seeing you naked so cooking for you at my place shouldn’t be a big deal.”
“Whoa…there is no ‘we’ here. We’re just two consenting adults,” she said and he ran his fingers through his hair.
“Two consenting adults,” he echoed.
“Yes.”
“Alright. So, that aside. What do you say about dinner tomorrow night?” he asked and he waited for what seemed like forever before she answered him.
“Okay,” she said in a soft voice. “Dinner then.”
“Any preferences?” he asked.
“No…I don’t really have any allergies or nothing. So, surprise me.”
“Okay,” he said.
“You can text me your address and see you tomorrow…say seven?” she asked and he nodded.
“Seven sounds perfect.”
“Alright. I’ll see you tomorrow,” she said before hanging up.
Victor looked at his phone and smiled.
This was the first time he had met someone so intriguing that he felt the need to ask her out. And he had. Every other woman he had dated had always been all about the status and everything was pretty straight forward. But he was not sure what it was about this woman Macy that made him want her so much. He wanted her like he had never wanted anyone before. There was just something about her that seemed to pull him towards her and he did not want to let her go once he got her.
“And I have to get her,” he thought as he got out of the car. “I just have to…she is so perfect.”
