Rane sat in her car with her head up against the steering wheel. "Stupid" she mumbled to herself. I just made a complete fool of myself. 1st by zoning out and second by trying to flirt with Emery. A giggle escaped from her throat. Well heck, I did ask him out and give him my number. Even if he was just pulling my leg, I stepped up today! Rane was grinning from ear to ear. Suddenly her grin faltered and she smacked herself across the forehead. "I insulted him! He'll never call me after insulting him the way I did. And look at me, acting all high and mighty. He probably think I'm some stuck up hoochie. Only hoochies ask men out right?" While Rane was arguing with herself Emery exited the Library, unbeknownst to Rane, he saw her and headed in her direction. There was a tapping against the window, it startled Rane and she jumped. She looked out the window. She swallowed. Gulp. Oh Lord. Here it goes. He's going to let me have it. Rane rolled her window down. "Um, yes?" Emery pulled out his phone and dialed. Rane's phone rang. "Excuse me. Hello?" I said into the phone. There was no answer. I closed the phone and placed it on the seat next to me. I dated a glance at Emery, and you know that jerk was laughing at me? He was silently laughing, oh but he was laughing. Probably thinking to himself that no man in his right mind would call me. I glared at him and he shook his phone at me. Ok. Now I'm confused. Emery stopped laughing and he's said, " Stop glaring at me. My bad. I thought you had a sense of humor ma. Just lock my number in ok?" I turned and looked at my phone, and it was like a light went off in my head. Oh. He called my phone. I started grinning like the Cheshire cat. I forgot he was even standing there and I started doing the cabbage patch. Emery's full out laughing brought me back to earth. In fact he was laughing so hard I could barely understand him. "Whoa now. You got some moves there huh ma? I think we should go dancing instead of out to eat." He had another fit of laughing. I started my car up. I have never been so humiliated in my life. He called me. And I messed it up by acting like some 12 year old ninny. I shoved my car into gear. And took off, leaving Emery where he was. I glanced in my rear view mirror. All traces of humor were wiped off his face and he truly looked puzzled. Oh boy. Now he looks pissed. My phone rang. I glanced at it. I don't talk and drive, so I kept going. 20 mins later I reached home. After stopping and grabbing me some Steak 'N' Shake. She pulled her chocolate chip pancakes out the bag, followed by her 5 way chili. Oh I am sooo about to grub. Just as Rane was about to dig in her phone rang again. Rane's eyebrow went up, thinking about the missed call from earlier. Oh it can wait. She sat there and eat while she watched Chicago the musical. I sat and watched half before the two missed calls even crossed my mind again. What can I say, I'm just not accustomed to getting phone calls. I got up off my couch and threw my trash in the garbage can and went in search for my purse with my phone in it. I found it deposited right by the door. I dug my phone out and went to the missed calls. The last two calls were the same number. Hmm. I wonder who this could be, I thought as I hit the send button. The phone rang 2 and a half times and someone answered. "Hello? Hi someone called me fro......." I was cut off mid sentence. "Where the hell do you get off driving off the way you did? And then I've called you twice and you don't answer? What do you have to say for yourself?" I was dumbfounded. "Uh, sorry?" "Sorry!?" Emery screamed at me. I could practically feel the spital flying out his mouth. I cringed at the visual, and a little giggle escaped as I also visualized a vein popped in his forehead. "Oh you think this is funny?" "Look I said I'm sorry. What mor...." but Emery wasn't done with me yet. "So sorry is just suppose to pacify me and say, ok, I ain't mad no more? Girl you got me bent. You so used to having men do what you want, so used to wrapping men around your little finger?" I was so shocked that he thought I could wrap guys around my finger. The silence was deafening after all his yelling. "I um. Well. It's actually the opposite Emery. I'm not use to get phone calls unless it's a wrong number or work." I'm really sorry I didn't answer the phone. I didn't even think you would call me after I insulted you at the library. And then you show up at my car and you start laughing at me. I didn't know what to do I was humiliated. I humiliated myself I just fled......"
