Chapter 3 Troubles of love

I concluded that I was going to call him. I typed the number on my phone and dialed. When he picked up, I became speechless because I was nervous. "Hello, please who is this?" I heard a voice say over the phone. "Ermm ermmm... it's me." I said. I didn't bother to call my name because he didn't even know my name. "Please is this a prank call? Because I am very busy here. I don't have time for a prank call." Owen said. "No, it's not. It's just that I don't know how to explain this.

We me..." he interrupted me while I was talking and said "what's your name please?" "It's the drunk lady you took home few months back. Remember? You wrote your number on a book and asked me to call you if I ever wanted to talk." I said while I was rubbing my feet against each other. "Oh, I remember." He said. "I just wanted to..." he interrupted me again and said "uhm please I'm really busy right now. I'll call you when I'm less busy. I promise." I said "ok" and he hung up. "Oh my God he really hung up on me." I said to myself and a lot of thoughts started racing through my mind. "What does he even think? Wait does he think I'm interested in him? Haa... he must be delusional. Why did he even drop his number. I didn't even ask for it." I got so mad and slept. I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. I picked it up after it had rang a couple of times. "Hello, who is this?" I said with a sleepy voice. "You didn't save my number, it's Owen." It took me few seconds to process what he said because I was still sleepy. I jumped up after processing what he said. "Did I wake you up? I could just call you back." He said. "No, it's okay. I'm awake already." I said while rubbing the back of my hand against my eye. "Sorry, I was very busy when you called. I had things to take care of." He said. "You must be a very busy man." I said. "No, that's not it" he laughed and continued "how are you? Took you a very long time to call. I have been expecting your call. Thank Goodness you finally called." "I didn't have anything to say that's why I didn't call earlier than this." I said. "It's okay. What's up how have you been?" He said. "Surviving . How've you been?" I said "I've been good. Are you okay? Do you want to talk?" He said. "Yeah, I'm okay." I said. "I would like us to meet up soon." Owen said. "Sure, when do you want to meet up?" I asked. "If it's by me I would like to see you right now." He said. I laughed and said "you know that is not possible." "I know, I said that to emphasize on how soon I want to see you. Would you mind if I treat you to dinner tomorrow?" He said. "I wouldn't reject free food." I said. "I'll pick you up by 7pm tomorrow." He said. I smiled and said "Okay." "See you tomorrow." He said and hung up. And that was it. He ended the call without even asking for my name.
