    “He hasn’t called me though. ”
    I had checked my phone every two minutes throughout my shift hoping to see something.
    “He’s a busy man, give him time.” Nicole said standing.
    “Well I better get some rest, I’m so tired , cranky and can’t stop spewing.” She said with disgust.
    “Yeah he is busy. Anyway, you go to bed , and I will lock the house.” I said.
    “Thanks Savan nah. And thank you for the talk.” Nicole winked as she walked away.
    “Just think about what I said Nicole ok?” I remembered a girl I went to school with, she gave the baby up for adoption. It killed her, last I heard she was in and out of a mental health facility. I shook that thought and went in after Nicole. She just nodded and walked towards her room.

    Several days passed, and it was finally Friday. The day I had to hand in my assignment. Which was finished, thankfully. I hadn’t heard from Damon since the night he ran out because of work. I had called once and thought I sounded extremely desperate. But I hadn’t thought about him as much lately being busy with my assignment and Nicole.
    Derek and Angel were coming over for dinner tonight, and Nicole was cooking a massive roast. She was a n excellent cook. She still hadn’t told Stan; she said every time she went to, he would talk about something so anti baby it stopped her. I walked from my last lecture with Sarah; she was talking about her romantic weekend away with the Doctor. He sounded like a true romantic. Sarah suddenly stopped in her tracks pulling my arm.
    “What’s wrong ?” I asked, holding my arm where she grabbed me.
    “Isn’t that the hottie we saw at the Chinese place?” She said pointing
    I looked up and saw Damon standing beside his car with a smile on his face. He was dressed in black jeans and a tank. His muscles were generous and bulky. I remembered the feel of his six pack on my hand and instinct made me run my left hand fingers over the palm of my right hand.
    “Yep .” I said to Sarah with a smile of my own.
    “I will c atch you later.” I smiled at her before I walked towards him.
    “Hi” I said shyly
    “Hi you.” He said before leaning over and kissing my cheek.
    “You 're not in a suit.” I said eying his sleeveless tank.
    He laughed “N o suit, I’ve been so busy lately sorry for not calling. But I have tonight off, so I was kind of hoping we could have a bite to eat.”
    I thought for a moment and opened my mouth to say yes until I remembered our guests for dinner tonight.
    “I’m so sorry, I have plans with friends. We are doing this dinner thing at our house.” I said shaking my head at the thought of the crazy conversations and the fact that I have to see Angel the hooker.
    A thought suddenly hit me.
    “Why don’t you come over for dinner?” I said to him with a smile.
    He thought for a moment, and then smiled.
    “Sounds good, what time and what do I bring?”
    “Yourself, about seven!”
    “Sure. See you then beautiful .” He kissed my cheek, and we parted ways.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter 4
     
    Once I got home I found Nicole in the kitchen already.
    “I invited someone to dinner I hope you don’t mind.” I said as she counted out places at the table.
    “Did yo u finally hear from Damon today?” Nicole asked with a raised eyebrow.
    “Yes he was waiting for me after cla ss today it was such a surprise.” I said trying to explain myself. I had complained to Nicole for the past three days about how I hadn’t heard from him since our night of hot and heavy fondling.
    “Well then, I think we should set another place.” Nicole smiled.
    I was so worried about introducing Damon to Derek. Derek can be so protective of me sometimes; he has been in my life since I was five. I also hoped Angel wore some decent clothes tonight instead of looking like a hooker. That was my worst fear.
    “Is Stan coming?” I had to
