A few days passed and no call came about the job. Absolute silence.
You'll be fine. They will call for either two reasons; you got the job or you did not. No matter what they still have to call. You still have a chance, my thoughts to myself every morning.
Felix snuggled at my feet, his favorite spot, as I was stretched out on the couch and surfing through the channels.
In the midst of reading a description of a comedy movie, I heard my phone ring.
My body completely laid still.
Is this him? Is it really Mr. Carter granting me this job? Will I see his perfectly sculpted face once more?
Ring. Ring.
The second ring went off and took me out of my thoughts. I jumped up quickly, ignoring Felix's cry, and raced to my phone. The phone was on my bedroom nightstand.
I picked it up and read the caller ID.
It was not Mr. Carter. It was a random number, but I answered anyways.
"Hello?"
A smooth voice came over, "Hello, is this Kyla?"
"Um yes it is. Who is calling?"
"It's me!" The voice exclaimed. "Jared! We met a week ago."
Ah yes. Jared! We met last week in the park when I was out with my best friend, Emma.
"Oh yeah! What's up?"
"We have a date tonight remember?"
He was right. Before he departed just a few minutes after we had met, he had asked if I wanted to go to dinner sometime next week. And of course, I said yes.
"Oh right. I totally forgot. Sorry."
"Nah don't worry about it. Still want to go though?"
I hesitated for a moment. "Um yeah sure."
"Great. Why don't you text me your address and I'll come pick you up at 7:30?"
"Sounds great! See you then."
After hanging up, I quickly texted him my address. He replied only seconds later:
Thanks! And we are going somewhere quite fancy. So maybe where a dress?
Thinking about my options, I remembered that I had a long silk maroon dress. With a cut going up the thigh.
Alright got it. See you @ 7:30!
I looked at the clock and it was only 3:00. So I decided to go watch the movie I was reading about.
After the movie was over it was only five. So I decided to put another movie on.
As I the credits rolled up, I glanced at the clock.
6:30
Deciding it was time to get ready, I turned off the tv and hopped in the shower for about ten minutes before getting out.
I blew dried my hair and put a light layer of makeup on.
I headed to my closet and found the maroon dress. Zipping it up, I looked in the mirror. I looked at my hair. I was debating if I should leave it down or up.
Down. Down was my final decision.
I looked at the clock and I had about 10 minutes left. I dug out some black high heels under my bed, which was a complete mess, and put them on.
Knock knock.
I looked at the clock once more and saw it was 7:35.
I quickly got up from the bed and grabbed my coat and my purse that had my keys, phone, etc in it.
I walked up to the door and opened it.
There stood Jared. He was actually quite attractive. I guess that's why I said yes to the date.
He was tall and you could see a small tone of muscles. His dark brown hair all messed up but looked like he at least tried to tame it with a brush . He was wearing black dress pants and a black button up shirt.
He sported two black fake gauges in his ears.
"Well," he smooth voice came out "you look gorgeous."
His eyes went all the way down and all the way up back to my eyes.
I started to blush. "Thank you. You look quite dashing yourself."
He gave me a smirk. "Ready?"
"Yep."
I followed him out of my apartment and locked the door behind me. He led the way down the stairs to his car.
He was good looking. Like woah. He was hot. But no, he was not anything compared to Mr. Carter. Absolutely nothing.
Mr. Carter was pure handsome.
