“Hey, sorry I was just checking my texts…I just got yours.”  I said putting on a smile and closing my phone to lean against the head board with Kyla following suit next to me so we could talk.

“I figured…Aiden said you wanted to run this morning, so I just went home and texted you after I showered, but then I saw you on your way back home so I figured I would give you some time to shower then I just headed over here.”  Kyla said as she explained her impeccable timing.

“So, you were stalking me.  It’s okay.  I get that a lot.”  I say joking around.  We both laugh a little and fall into a comfortable silence….kind of like Aiden and I last night, only this time I’m the first to break the silence after like five minutes.

“Aiden told me about Ash…and she texted me last night.  I didn’t see it until this morning when you came in my room…that’s what I was staring at.” 

“Oh…” I thought that was going to be her only comment, but she continued… “So now what? Does that change things…are you going to man up and talk to her?” She says trying to be a little less serious through all the questioning.

“Here, you can read the text.  I haven’t really thought of my next move yet, but I have a while to think by myself ‘cuz Glen and Clay are both gone for today and most of tomorrow.” I tell her as I get my phone and give it to her.

Kyla just reads it and nods. “Alright then…I mean, I don’t really know what to say.  I’m glad you’re not in a depression hole still.  And sorry about yelling and saying all that stuff about you and Ash last night.  I just didn’t want to tell you because you both need to talk to each other…” As Kyla says this my phone starts to ring so she hands me my phone and waits to finish telling me whatever she wanted. 

“Hey…Yeah, Glen.  That’s fine I don’t mind…Yeah, no problem. I can just bring it by in like ten minutes, okay?  Love you, later.”  Glen just called because he knew I would forget to call him, and he needed his running shoes for morning runs.
