“That’s him” I whisper and nodding my head to the left.
“If you two say anything at all I will be moving out, and getting my number changed.” I said through my teeth hoping that the table to the left of us wouldn’t hear us.
“Promise.” Izzie said.
“You have to tell us the rest later.” Abbey protested.
Dinner went on, all of us talking about our schedules for the week ahead when the waitress came over with the check.
“Ummm, the man at the table over there said that he would like to pay, and he would like me to give this to you.” She said handing me this napkin with awful writing on it.
“Errr, thanks?”
Madeline.
Are you sure you’re okay? Maybe you remember, but you hit your head right on the cement. I hope you found who you were looking for after you left. I really didn’t know what to do so I thought I would just buy you your dinner. I hope when I come back up I could see you again, or if you’re ever down in Pittsburgh you could come to a game or something. Well I really hope your okay.
Sidney.
What do I do now?
“Wha-“
“Not-a-word”
I don’t know what I am thinking. Not at all. But now I am standing behind him and his friends or whoever they are, are all staring at me.
“Darryl, someone is behind you.” A French-man said.
While he was turning around I thought about just running, and never looking back.
“Madeline, Hi.” He sounded excited, almost surprised.
“Look, I don’t want to sound like a bitch, but really it’s not necessary to buy my friends and my dinner. Really, we have jobs, and we can afford it.”
The look in those eyes dropped. I felt bad, but I had to say something.
“Oh and I am fine, it’s a long story.”
“I would like to hear it.” Ohmygod he is speaking to me. Wow, he’s not like the hockey players I know. “I guess I was out of line with the whole, let me buy you dinner. I just felt like I had to do something.”
“Well thanks, I guess. I am sorry for interrupting your dinner.”
As I walk away I hear whispers behind me, but couldn’t make them out. But I couldn’t even think about anything else because I hear my name being called out.
“Madeline! Hey, wait for a sec.”
“Yea?”
“Umm, I was wondering what you are doing tonight.”
Nothing. Nope I was doing nothing, but I wasn’t going to tell him that.
“Oh, I don’t know, Izzie and Abbey haven’t made up their mind yet.”
“Well if you aren’t doing anything maybe we could do something?”
“Yea, I guess. But umm I don’t know how to reach you.”
“Oh, well here.” He sticks out his phone, and I stick out mine and we both put in our numbers for each other.
“So I will call you later?”
“Sounds good.”
“Bye Sidney.”
“It’s Sid. Bye Madeline.”
“It’s Maddie.”
When I reached my friends again the two of them just stared. Finally Izzie deceived to break the awkward silence that was now lingering around us.
“He is hot.”
“mhmm. You can say that again.” Abbey whispered.
As we left I heard my phone vibrate in my purse. My blackberry showed that I had received one message from Sidney.
Hey, so have you talked to your friends. The guys are going to a club tonight and I am not really feeling the clubbing scene but don’t feel the need to drop your plans if you already have some plans don’t drop them or anything.
“Awwww he rambles” Izzie gushes.
“Do you know what I don’t understand,” I snaped. “Whenever I am scene with a male you two piss your pants, or even if I get a fucking text message you too piss your pants.”
“ouch.” The two of them say in unison
“I am going to hang out with Sidney.”
“SO HE HAS A NAME!” Abbey yells.
“I have a key I won’t be home late.” I say while I walk away.
Now there is just one thing to do. Call Sidney
