Vance
“You need to tell me more about this mystery man of yours, Vance. If you
expect the family to meet him, we’re going to need a little more than just
it’s a ‘guy I’ve been seeing.’”
I sighed and resisted the urge to run my hand through my hair. That was a
nervous tic I had long since coached myself into not doing through years of
hard work. It wasn’t something that ever looked good to the opposing side
while defending a client during a trial, and I had already styled my hair for
my dinner date and didn’t wish to have to redo it.
I sat down on the white leather sofa, my phone pinched between my
shoulder and my ear so my hands were free. “I’ve told you quite a bit about
him, Elain. Haven’t you been listening? I’ve talked to you nearly every day
since he and I met.”
“I guess I just didn’t realize how serious it was,” she said.
“So you weren’t listening?” I was pretty sure I had talked about Alex ad
nauseam to my sister. Our close friendship surpassed that of any others I
had. She was my confidant and critic—when I needed it.
“I was, but I thought he was just a hookup! What changed? Is he a plumber
or something? I can’t recall what his profession is.”
It was true, my relationship with Alex had started as just a hookup. But it
was so much more now.
“He’s one of the maintenance workers in my apartment complex. I called to
get a replacement for my sink or a part of my sink or something since it was
leaking. And he was the person who showed up to do the work.”
“How’d that turn into a hookup? Sounds like the beginning of a porno Jake
and I watched last week.”
I could have gone without knowing that my sister and her husband were
watching porn together. Good for them, but I didn’t need to know about it.
“I felt bad that he was working after hours, and I ordered food. We enjoyed
it.” That first night hadn’t turned into anything more. But it had been fun.
Alex had reluctantly sat down and had dinner with me. I had made it past
his gruff defenses.
A few days later, when I saw him again as I was carrying a pizza, I
convinced him to join me. Since he wasn’t on the clock that time, I was able
to convince him to stay the night. Not that it was a hardship.
Since then, we had been pretty regularly hooking up and having dinner
together at my apartment. One morning, that had been coffee together when
he had arrived early and I was working from home.
It had been two months since we’d met.
Tonight, though, would be the real deal. I had convinced him to go on a date
with me and actually go out to dinner. A friend of mine was having their
grand opening of their new restaurant, and I had a reservation for us.
“You have reservations at Blake’s restaurant tonight?”
“Yes. Alex has no idea where we’re going. Not that he would care. He is
just going to complain about the portion sizes the whole time. We’ll
probably get takeout on the way home.”
