Chapter 21

“No no, it’s nothing like that I promise. I just admired you and I didn’t know if I’d ever see you again so I decided to take my chances, I don’t usually do things like these. I’m actually a really shy person” He explained, nervously stroking the back of his hair as he wore a smile which didn’t do a good job at concealing his anxiety.

Lola’s anger dropped, when she looked at him acting like that, She remembered Barth.

“Okay, Josh. You’ve earned a few seconds of my attention” Lola said, giving him a smile meant to put him at ease.

Josh stood back, marveled at the sudden change in behavior of the strange woman standing in front of him.

“My name is Joshua, Josh for short. I live not so far away from here. I work remote jobs from my home. Lola, this might sound sudden but can I have your number? You look fun and I’d like to hangout with you sometime if you don’t mind” Josh said.

“hangout? Like a date? You never asked if I was single” Lola said.

“Are you?” Josh asked.

“hand me your phone.”
