Chapter 425: Reiner - Finally, a Date!
“Ok. See you tomorrow...if something happens, just call me,” Reiner said and for a moment he seemed overly worried.
I mean, I’m just sleeping over with Kat at her place. What can possibly happen? Since that incident with Rachael, I have never seen her again and even if I did, I don’t think that she would dare hurt me again. Reiner didn’t tell me about how he settled things with her after the incident. Truthfully, I was more than slightly curious about it but I was hesitant to ask Reiner directly about it.
“I’ll be fine. Don’t worry too much. See you and goodnight,” I replied sweetly.
“Goodnight,” Reiner said before hanging up.
I clutched my phone to my chest like it was something precious and rare. Tomorrow, I’m finally going on a date with Reiner. Suddenly everything seemed to be going well and smooth. Carrying Kat to her bed in her drunken state seemed like such an easy task in comparison to other things that I’ve been through.
...
11AM was just around the corner and Kat was still fast asleep. It was a shame that I couldn’t say goodbye to her before leaving but I didn’t want to wake her up. Also, I was sure that she wouldn’t mind if I told her that I had to leave early for my date with Reiner. I watched the time tick by impatiently. It’s almost time for Reiner to pick me up but he hasn’t called. Feeling too restless to just sit by and wait in Kat’s apartment, I decided to grab my things and wait for him in front of the building instead.
After a couple of minutes of waiting in front of Kat’s building, my phone started ringing and I picked it up immediately. Reiner was on the line, and I realized that it was already 11AM. He’s running late but I didn’t mind at all.
“Sorry, I’m late but I’m driving there now,” Reiner said apologetically.
