| Chapter Three I smiled as the young man approached me. "Hi," he smiled. "Hi," I replied. "This seat taken?" he asked, motioning toward the ground. "Not at the moment," I said. "Well then it's my lucky day," he commented as he sat next to me. I elbowed Holly as I watched him. "Oh, hey, Whitney, isn't that Claire? Yeah, that chick we went to preschool with? I'm gonna go chat it up with her for a bit." Holly said as she got up and headed toward a group of strangers. I watched her leave the turned my attention back to the young man sitting next to me. "I'm Abs," he said, holding out his hand. "Whitney," I said as I shook it. "So I've heard," Abs smiled. I looked at him. He seemed strangely familiar. "I'm sorry, but do I know you? Have we met before?" I asked him. He shook his head. "I don't think so," Abs replied. "First question," he said as he stretched out his legs in front of him. "Do you have a boyfriend?" "What?" I asked, astonished that he'd be asking me that so quickly. "Why?" "Well, I was talking to this pretty lady the other day and her boyfriend came up to me and wanted a fight, so I vowed to myself I'd ask," he explained. "Oh," I said. "In that case, no, I do not have a boyfriend." "Alright, good," he smiled. We ended up talking for the rest of the evening at the concert. We had to yell over the music a few times, but I didn't mind, and it didn't seem like he did either. When the concert was over, Holly joined us again. We stood up and brushed off. Holly walked a bit in front of us on the way out. "Can I get your number, love?" Abs quietly asked me when we reached the front gates. "I don't think so," I quietly replied. "Can I give you mine, then?" Abs asked. "I guess," I smiled a bit. He rummaged through his pocket and pulled out a pen. He took my hand and gently wrote his number on it. We walked out together. I walked a bit ahread of him and joined Holly as she was waiting for me. "Call me," he told me as he began to walk in the other direction that we were headed. I just smiled and he winked at me. He turned and headed back to go to where ever he had some from. It was time for Holly and me to do the same. Chapter Four... |
