When Oliver called, Josefina was out having dinner with Alex and Jade.
“Send me the address, and I'll come pick you up,” Oliver offered.
“But we’re planning to hit up some karaoke later,” she replied.
“Josie, we haven’t seen each other all day. Don’t you miss me?” he asked with a hint of longing. The room was so quiet that Alex and Jade could hear everything.
Feeling a bit awkward, Josefina got up. “Let me take this call outside.”
Once she found a quiet spot, she continued, “Oliver, I think they overheard you.”
“Don’t worry about them overhearing. But did you hear me?” Oliver asked gently.
After a pause, Josefina admitted, “Yeah, I heard you.”
“Should I come get you?”
Josefina wanted to fill Oliver in on her day and warn him to be careful. “Alright, I’ll send you my location. Come over.”
After hanging up and texting Oliver the address, Josefina returned to the room where Jade and Alex were waiting at the door.
With a teasing smile, Jade said, “Josie, Dorian told me you were on the phone with your boyfriend. Guess you're skipping karaoke tonight!”
Busted by Alex’s guess, Josefina blushed a little. “Sorry, I really can’t make it tonight. Next time's on me, I promise.”
“Don’t worry about it, Josie. You’ve got stuff to handle. We’ll plan something next time we’re all free,” Alex assured her.
With that, Josefina headed out, and Alex and Jade walked her to the door. Soon, Oliver arrived to pick her up.
As Josefina got into the car, Jade turned to Dorian, “Josie’s amazing, and her boyfriend seems great too. When are you going to find me a sister-in-law? You need to step up!”
“Rushing me into marriage already? My career’s just taking off; that’s my focus for now. Marriage isn’t really in the cards yet,” Dorian chuckled.
Jade just rolled her eyes with a smile.
