Laura was on her bed trying to sleep but she couldn't because she was restless, she couldn't understand why Scott didn't pick her call,she knew it was really late when she had called but she was certain that Scott wasn't asleep at that hour because he normally stayed up late, she hoped deep down that something wasn't wrong with him but what she couldn't figure out was why he hadn't called her back, he should've seen her missed calls by now,she thought to herself,
she was trying really hard to sleep when she heard her phone ring,she jumped from her bed excitedly thinking that maybe Scott had called back,she hurriedly picked the call without checking the caller ID
"Hello baby,are you okay?" She asked
"Laura,it's me Kevin"
She heard Kevin's voice to her disappointment
"Laura,are you okay?"
She composed herself in order for Kevin not to notice the disappointment in her voice
"Yeah,I'm fine..hi"
"I'm sorry to be calling you at this hour,I know it's really late but I was wondering if we could go out tomorrow"
Laura wasn't expecting that so soon,she had no idea how to reply to the invitation, her and her ex going out on a date,that was questionable,she thought to herself
Kevin on the other hand was worried had said something wrong since he didn't hear her say anything
"Please don't misunderstand me Laura,I just want us to go out nothing more but it's okay if you say no"
"No no,please don't take my silence the wrong way Kevin, its just that i wasn't expecting your call and I'm a little surprised at your invitation, although you know you already mentioned something about us hanging out but I wasn't expecting it so soon" she honestly replied
"I'm really sorry,if you like we could postpone it..maybe some other time?"
"Please don't,tomorrow is fine by me,what time should I be ready?"
Kevin was excited that she accepted to hang out Laura could hear it in his voice
"8pm would be fine"
Okay,I'll be ready by 8"
"Okay then goodnight,see you tomorrow"
"Goodnight" she replied and the line went dead
Laura decided not to stay up any longer because she was already developing a headache from worrying too much,so she went to bed with the thought of her date with Kevin the following night
Laura woke up the next morning glad that the headache was gone,she decided not to go to the company that day after having a stressful previous week and also because she knew that if she went to the company, she wouldn't be able to get prepared on time for her date with Kevin, she called Craig to let him know that she won't be coming to work today,so he was in charge of the company that day,she hung up after the call and headed downstairs for breakfast,she was wearing a tank top with denim short
"Good morning mom" she greeted her mom who was already on the dinning table
"Good morning love,I thought you'd never wake up and I didn't want to bother you" her mom said,she then took a better look at Laura and noticed that she wasn't dressed for work as she was just in a white crop top and denim shorts
"Aren't you going to the company today?...or wait,don't tell me you're already tired,cos I'm your mother and I took care of that company for over 3years now and you've only been there for like 2weeks and a half"
"Mom! Could you let me explain sometimes before you come to your own conclusions?"
"I was only asking honey" her mom replied
Laura began twiddling her thumbs,her mom stared at her with a questioning look, a little surprised at her sudden nervousness
"Is there something you wanna tell me honey?" Her mom asked
Laura then stopped and turned to her mom,she took a deep breath and said
"Kevin called last night and wanted us to go out on a date tonight and I said yes"
Her mom was excited to hear that
"Really honey! He did that?"
Laura just nodded in reply
"So we'll go shopping then,to get you something nice to wear"
"Mom?"
"Yes sweetie"
"I'm I doing the right thing?...I mean going out on a date with my ex?"
"Look honey,you're doing nothing wrong,it's not like you're getting back together with him...it's only a date,so don't be so nervous about it".
