“So, tell me!” Rose implored.
She had called to Andy’s house to see how he was doing as she did most weeks.
She always knew when Andy was holding back something on her, and she knew he would spit it out eventually especially now that he had started turning red.
“Well, we’re texting each other regularly enough.”
“And?”
“And nothing. I’m sure she has a boyfriend already. We’re just mates.”
Andy was trying to look everywhere, except at Rose.
“Yeah, yeah I believe you,” Rose teased deciding that she had put him under enough pressure for one day.
“She is quite a pretty girl though, if I was so inclined…”
This raised a laugh from Andy. Of course, she was pretty, Charlotte was one of the most beautiful women that he had ever met. He thought so from the first moment he had set eyes on her in that niteclub. He had actually seen her before Ed, but didn’t have the confidence to approach her. Ed had no such problems.
If he couldn’t win her heart then, what chance had he now with his paralyzed body?
No, better to just stay friends. At least then, he could have his dreams.
Late that night, Andy is once again texting Charlotte. Then he receives a text that suddenly brings him to a halt.
- So do you have a gf?
