It was Monday evening and Connie had just hung up the phone.
Hey Baby, who was that?
"Who was who?"
Just then, on the phone?
"Oh, well, uh,...... one of my friends."
Friend Huh?" Jokingly, "There have been a lot of secretive calls lately baby. So just who is this friend?
"Oh, nobody, no big deal, nothing going on."
Wow, you know I can always tell when you are fibbing. Still jokingly, and prying a bit harder.
"Yea, well it's nothing. Really."
Hmmm, guy or gal?
"Um, well I was going to tell you, really."
Tell me what?
"Remember last summer when I worked that week in Ozark? Weeeeellll, just like you thought, I did meet up with someone. Nothing happened really."
Really?
"Yea, not much to tell."
So was that "not much" on the phone?
"Yea, I can't get him to stop calling."
Him huh? Now really getting into teasing her. You going to tell me the whole story?
"Yea, he keeps calling, I guess he thinks I'm hot."
You ARE hot. Everyone knows you are hot! So how did you meet?
"We'll, this guy, Ryan. His sister was at the event. She told him about me, and that he should try to meet me. Then he shows up and kinda hung around to talk. Innocent stuff really."
Innocent, really, then why are you blushing baby?
"Well, you know, it's kinda embarrassing to have such a young guy after me."
You have always liked young guys! I didn't know that was embarrassing.
"Well I am old enough to be this guys mom."
Really, you better tell me more.
"Not much to tell. This guy Ryan showed up. We talked some. He kept coming back. Now he keeps calling me."
When did you meet?
"I think his sister introduced us on Wednesday."
And?
"He just kinda hung around to talk."
