I am fine ,I just have a lot going on right now. " She heard
in the background that her other tables orders' were up, so
she tried to rush the conversation. "Bob, we are extremely
busy right now, but I promise I will call you as soon as we
slow down a little bit and I take a lunch."
Promise, he asked
Promised she returned with that she hung up , and went back
to work.
Bob, sat at his desk, and wondered, he could not believe he
made the poor girl promise to return his call, he has never
cared whether women returned his calls or not, yet he was
still under her spell, he needed her, he couldn't put his
finger on it yet, but this one was different. He was supposed
to pick up his pool schedule for the month, but now he wanted
to sit and wait for her to call. He sat there waiting,
thinking, obsessing, , she was under her skin, and he
would do whatever it took to have his cake and eat it to as
they say. He would sit there and figure a way to keep her
holding on, without giving himself up. He loved her, and
loved her more than any other woman he has ever known, but he
couldn't give into his feelings, there has to be another way.
Jesse was nervous, she thought by running away, she wouldn't have to feel. Hearing his voice, confirmed her greatest fear, she was totally into him, now what was she supposed to do. She had an agenda, and he was not part of it, but she could no longer deny the feelings that were right in front of her face. She did deserve to have him in her life, she just had to take what she could get from it, half was better than none right. She hoped one day, if she just kept holding on, that maybe he would return her feelings, and they would live happily ever after. He had already rescued her once right? She went back to work and kept busy , until it was lunch time and she was able to take a break. She decided to use her friend Larry's Cell phone to call Bob privately, she walked to her car lit a cigarette, and thought, here goes nothing as she dialed his number
