Kapitel 107: Planning (3)

__Phone Call__

"I—Is there something I can help?"

"Ah yeah, I want to ask about something…." I darted my eyes at the box of crystal meth on the table and assured myself. "Are you free on the weekend?" 

…

"Did I hear that right?" Mason asked. "You… you're asking me on a date on the weekend?"

"Uh…" 

Did I accidentally send a mixed signal there?

Oh no, I didn't mean it that way. I was just asking whether he would be free to go to the school on the weekend like before. But if I said no right now, it wouldn't have a pretty ending.

He also looked as nervous as I was, but he still tried to put me first so I would have a comfortable first date with him.

Ah… what a gentleman…
