“You can leave now.”

“See ya tonight! I’ll come early so you can watch me in case you need to know how it’s done.”

“Please don’t.”

“You don’t.”

“Maybe I can convince her to upgrade to the better Langston.” He waggles his brows like an asshole.

I point my finger toward the entrance. “Out!”

He leaves, but his laughter can be heard down the hallway.

That little shit. Now I’m even more nervous than I was before.

Checking my phone again, I’m relieved she responded.

Maisie

7:30 works for me.

Warren

Perfect. Make sure to eat enough if you plan on drinking.

Maisie

I will. My parents make such a fuss about dinner, I eat everything on my plate so the chef doesn’t get insulted.

Warren

The chef gets insulted??

Maisie

According to my mother, yes.

I shake my head, seriously wondering how Maisie can stand to be with her parents for two weeks.

Warren

Well if you want me to rescue you, we can have dinner here first.

Maisie

I already told her I’d be here and if I cancel at the last minute, she’ll throw a fit.

Jesus Christ.

Warren

Oh…then you might wanna know I planned on cooking dinner for you Friday night. In case you have to…give notice?

Maisie

Haha, thanks. I’ll let her know.
