Frankie, Chapter 5, Part 4

In the spur-of-the-moment, I ran into the bathroom. I stopped at the mirror and checked my hair. It looked good enough for now.As I was going back, I made sure he heard me and knew I was coming as a fare warning. I heard his phone close.
I sat down and we started talking and laughing yet again. At 10 o’clock, he stopped laughing and looked at his watch.
“Is everything alright?â€? I couldn’t help myself from asking.
“As much as I don’t want this night to end, I should be getting you home. The last thing you need is to be yelled at by your mom after being here with me of all people,â€? he said as he reached in his pocket for his keys.
I chuckled. I was really going to like working with Nick.
Great. Another rush was coming into my body. However, it was not in my head, but through my mouth.
“Hey Nick? I was wondering if you would like to do this again some time.â€?
He didn’t answer because he was already in his car and driving away.
