Chapter 10 - Another try

“I’m so glad you called, I didn’t think I would ever see you again.” Charles says looking at me nervously. I sip my coffee looking at him, I don’t know if another date was a good idea but I’m open.

He’s different I’m used to men that are very confident in themselves but I don’t want to judge him too harshly. One date is not enough time to make a conclusion on someone’s character.

“I didn’t think I’d call either.” I say and he looks even more nervous. “But a good friend of mine told me to and I’m glad I did,” I say and he smiles at me sweetly.

“I need to buy your friend a thank-you gift.” He says looking at me closely.

"He loves gifts.” I say smiling at him.

“I’m terrible at first dates and when I saw you I got all flustered and put my foot in my mouth.” He says looking at me embarrassed.

“I must admit I am concerned. Do you ask every girl you meet to have your babies?” I ask looking at him trying to figure out if he’s playing me.

“I do not. That reaction is purely due to you.”
