Chapter 248

There was one thing that his sister mentioned, was bothering him. He had been thinking about it on their way back. She did talk about the last girl she had seen him with, the one who unexpectedly joined them for Thanks giving dinner. She had even remembered her name and had asked him if he was dating her. He had sensed that she liked her very much and was disappointed when he mentioned that she was getting married. What she had said after that, had taken him by surprise. It had been totally unexpected coming from her. Her words were, "Just because someone is engaged to be married doesn't mean she is off the radar. If you really like her, you should do something about it. If you don't you may regret it in the future. Who knows what will happen."

He wondered why she had said that. He had not really responded to that since he was to surprised by her remark. Their conversation had been interrupted by the distractions around them and he had danced with Nichole. He had somehow, unknowingly pictured her with her fiancé dancing last night as he was dancing with Nichole. They had left early and he remembered him being hazy due to the alcohol and he slowly tried to get a grip of where he was and tried to open his eyes that refused to open. The sun was up and he didn't like the brightness and pulled over the pillow and closed his eyes back and much tighter to avoid the light.

He was feeling a bit hungry and thirsty so in spite of the brightness, he squinted his eyes and pushed his pillow and got up and walked towards the bathroom rubbing his eyes. He washed himself up and came out in his robe as he heard his phone ring. But before he could get to it, it had gone to the voice message and he ignored it and walked over to the kitchen to see if he could whip something up for a quick breakfast. The phone rang again and this time he could hear the voice on the answering machine. He knew who it was, he ran towards the phone and grabbed it, but he was too late. He immediately called the number back and someone picked it up on the second ring. He completely forgot he was hungry when he heard her voice on the other end.
