The ride home with Retta turned out to be us looking at each other giggling over and over again in the back of the taxi. By the time we got back into the apartment we were in pain from laughing so damn much. Once we got inside we each grabbed a bottle of water and got into our pajamas. After that we sat on the couch and talked a bit, trying to relax from all of the excitement tonight.

"OK fucking spill it Retta! What did you and Matt talk about when you guys stepped out?"

"Nothing really, we just kept cracking jokes and you know me and my A.D.D., I had to point out things that got my attention."

"Oh Lord, did he notice?"

"If he did notice he didn't say anything about it. Let's not forget that, that's how I get most of my friends. You know I'm the goofy weird one every one loves but doesn't understand."

"Hahahahaha, yeah that's true! Ok I better wash up and get to bed. I know I am so going to dread when that fucking alarm clock goes off in the morning."

"Come on now Summer, don't be a fucking pussy, take one for the team! You know if you ask me it was ALL well worth it. I mean fucking come on, you fucking made out with Zacky fucking Vengeance!!!"

"Oh my fucking GOD I sure did, didn't I? Well regardless bed, I am so hoping for some nice dreams tonight and every night until I get to see him again. Night Retta."

"That's cool, good night Summer!"

As soon as my head hit the pillow I must have fallen asleep because it felt like a fifteen minute power nap when my alarm went off in the morning. I'm going to have to get better at going to bed early and waking up early. Then again, maybe I should just ask to close all of the time or at least several times a week.

I got up being as quiet as I possibly could be so I wouldn't wake Retta but then I smelled something and realized she had beat me awake this time and had coffee going. When I walked out into the living room she was right there at the kitchen counter holding out a steaming cup of coffee with a huge grin on her face.

"Retta did you sleep last night?"

"Yeah I sure did, but I woke up at five-thirty and decided that I would do this for you. I feel like I owe you for letting me hang here for a few days and not to mention because of you I had one of the best nights of my fucking life last night!"

"Shit if any one owes any one, it's me that owes you! Come on now, you drive here with me, helped me unload and unpack!"

"It's cool though, you know me I was just as excited as you were though! I guess we can just call it even then."

"There you go, we're even! Now I need to get to work. Come by and see me if you feel like getting out today."

"OK I will. Have a great day!"

I don't know why but when I got to work it felt right. Like today was going to be the first day of my new start in life, not yesterday. It's a feeling hard to explain really. But what the hell, I am going to go with it. Feels better then feeling nervous right?

The started off smooth. We had nothing but nice customers and well behaved children. It was like something from The Twilight Zone to be honest. I know something is going to go wrong, there is no way a day could be this good. No way at all!

When it was time for my lunch break I looked up and saw Retta coming in. I was so happy because now I wouldn't have to have lunch alone and I could tell her about my weird but nice day I am having so far.

"Hey, I am glad you came, I was just about to take my lunch break."

"Awesome, perfect timing as usual! So are grabbing something from the Subway next door or what?"

"Sure sounds good to me."

I went into the break room to get my purse and cell and notice I had several texts. A couple were from Retta and a couple were from none other then Zack! I thought I was going to die, I was sure he was feeding me a line of bull shit last night. I was obviously wrong.

Zack: Hey Summer, it's me Zack, which I'm sure you already know that since I programmed my name and shit in for you last night, but I just wanted to tell you to have a nice day at work today.

Zack: Yeah haven't heard back from you yet, I really hope you didn't give me a bull shit number to blow me off. Well if this is you hit me up when you have time.

OK, I sat there for a minute stunned and then showed Retta.

"Summer fucking message him back before he thinks the worse!"

"What will I say though?"

"Fucking tell him it's really you and that you've been too busy to check your phone until now on your lunch break!"

Summer: Hey Zack, yeah..uh...it's really me Summer. I didn't give you a bull shit number, I've been really busy at work today and it has been a nice day so far thank you for the well wishes.

Zack: Finally! I thought, aw hell she fucking blew me off...lol

Summer: Hell no, I would never do that to you!

Zack: That's great to know. So where is lunch today?

Summer: Subway next door, Retta came by just in time to have lunch with me! :)

Zack: That's nice, is she like every where you are like all of the time?

Summer: No. But she is in a town AND state she's never been in and she's too shy to go do anything outside of what she's use to.

Zack: That's cool I was just wondering. Matt told me to tell you to tell Retta to find his name on her phone and text him. He won't stop laughing and won't tell me what it is so let me know what's so fucking funny when she does.

Summer: OK will do. I will message you when we get done eating.

This whole time I am texting and walking and ordering my food with the guidance of Retta of course. I told her what Matt told Zack to tell me to tell her. Confusing? Yeah it confused me too. It took her a minute to get her phone out and start looking in between bites and our conversation.

"Wow, Summer you have to see what the fuck he put in as his name."

"Oh hell let me see! Zack want's to know what it is because he said Matt wouldn't stop laughing or tell him what it was."

"Well Retta, since this is the second time he has said it, I think he really wants you to do THAT."

Summer: Zack...it says Scream MaName...my guess is he wants to fuck her

Zack: Ha! Yeah that's what I'm thinking too.

"That's ok Summer, because when I text him, he will be shocked by what I put!"

"Oh God Retta what the fuck did you put? You have to tell me!!!"

"OK but you can't tell Zack because then he will tell Matt and obviously Matt doesn't know yet or he would have sent a text or something by now. But it says...ScreamIn MyFace! Which is weird because he put Scream MaName. Kinda creepy really huh?!?"

Retta: So you want me to scream your name huh?

Matt: It would appear you want me to scream in your face so what the hell, why not?!?

I sat back and started on my salad again while texting Zack and I realized something when I looked up. Retta was grinning ear to ear. I can honestly say I've only seen her smile like that with her kids and never her husband. Oh well I am not pointing that out to her, I want her to have as much fun as she can while she can!

We finished up and said our "see you laters" and went our separate ways, at least until I got off of work! I wonder what tonight is going to be like? Guess we'll find out as soon as I get off of work in about three hours.
