Chapter 7:
“Took you long enough.” She said with her arms crossed over her chest, shaking her head, I sighed, laying my head on the steering wheel.
“Sorry.”
“What took so long, its negative zero degrees out here in these streets?” I chuckled Kory was always the dramatic on out of the twins.
“Why couldn’t Kyra pick you up?”
“She’s busy … But like I said what took so long?”
“I was … Kinda on a date…”
“A date?” Kory said putting much emphasis on the word date. Her Brooklyn accent in full effect. I smiled and touched my lips softly, unlocking the door. She opened it and hopped in.
“Buckle up.”
“Okay … But a date, with Sean?”
“Yeah, he cooked for me.”
“Really? Girl … So, I guess you found the place he wanted to meet you at?”
“Yeah, it was a school…”
“Oh…”
“Yep.” The car grew silent besides the faint sound of the radio.
“So … He’s going back to college or something?”
“No, it was an elementary school.”
“So he’s a teacher…? What’s wrong with that…?”
“No, he has a daughter, her name is Cassidy. And before you say anything, she is the sweetest girl I’ve ever met.” Kory’s mouth dropped.
“A daughter? … Wow.”
“I know right, he said I can come over and meet her mother before she picks her up for the weekend but … I don’t know, I’m not his girlfriend or anything so it would be awkward you know?”
“Right, well does he expect you to come over?”
“Probably not.”
“I don’t know what to say girl … Me? I would go, but as for you … You’re too scared anyway.”
“No I’m not.”
“Sure…” She perched her lips and stared at me, her head cocked to the side.
“I’m not; I’ll go … If I didn’t have something to do.”
“What do you have to do?”
“Stuff…”
“Like what?” I gripped the wheel tighter as we sat at the red light.
“Okay, I have nothing to do.”
“Then go!”
“Fine, I will go and meet Cassidy’s mother. I just hope I’m not making a big mistake…”

“Elle, you came!” Sean said shocked. I smiled and walked into his small apartment.
“Yeah, I mean … I didn’t know if I should but … I don’t know maybe I should leave.”
“No, don’t … You can have a seat in the living room with Cassidy.” I swallowed hard.
