"So you ready to go?" I asked sitting viewing my room.
"Yeah, I'm so ready." Stewart said.
"Good thing I'm done with my summer job." I said.
"Yeah, Me too." Stewart said.
"So, how are things with you and Lance?" Stewart asked.
"Good, it's hard to believe it's been almost a year since we started dating." I said.
"Oh, I know. I remember the day you told me ya'll were going out. Man, I was like 'Dang, you're fast, girl!" Stewart said.
I laughed a little. My dog, Sam walked into my room and jumped into my lap and started licking my hand.
"Sam, stop that!" I said.
"Um..who's Sam?" Stewart asked.
"You know, my Jack Russell Terrier." I said knowing what he was thinking.
"Oh!" Stewart said.
"Anyway, moving on!" I said.
"But, really I hope Lance is the one." I said.
"Leah, the man loves you to death...why, I have no idea, but I think he's your kinda guy. Plus, he talks about you all the time." Stewart said.
"Well, that's a good thing, cause I talk--" I started to say.
"Cause you talk about him 24/7!" Stewart interrupted.
"Shut up, Stewart!" I said.
"Well, it's the truth, gahness!" Stewart said.
"Okay, okay! I admit it, now leave me alone!" I said.
"Stop that and go away!" Stewart said joking.
"Are you taking Sam with you?" Stewart asked.
"Of course I am, I could never leave my baby at home!" I said.
"Which one?"
"Stewart! Besides, he couldn't go if he wanted to. He's got a job ya know!" I said with sadness in my voice.
"Well, I better go. I have to call Erick." Stewart said.
"Okay. see ya at 10:30am." I said.
"Okay, see ya then! Byeness!" Stewart said.
I hung up my phone and put it on its charger. I got up and went to the kitchen to get some breakfast. I fixed me a bowl of cereal. I finished my cereal and fed Sam. I walked back upstairs to my laptop and turned it on. I signed on to aim and msn messangers. I signed into my e-mail to check it. I didn't have any new messages, so I figured I'd see what Mr. Bass was up to this morning, while I changed into my running clothes. I dialed his number and waited for him to answer. After 3 rings he picked up.
"Hello?" Lance answered in a sleepy voice.
"Morning, handsome!" I said sitting down putting on my shoes.
"Hey, babe!" Lance answered.
"What are you up to?" I asked.
"Oh, nothing, just getting my sleep on." Lance said.
"Oh, did I wake you, sweetie?" I asked.
"Yeah, but it's okay. You're worth it." Lance said smiling.
"You're so sweet!"
"I try."
There was a short silence.
"So, what are you up to?" Lance asked.
"Nothing, just fixing to go running is all."
"Run for me, will ya, babe?"
"Okay, sure."
"So, you guys off today or something, cause you usually don't sleep this late."
"Yeah, we are."
"What are you doing up so early?" Lance asked.
"Oh, Stewart, Erick, Kasey, and me are going to Panama City."
"Oh yeah, I remember you telling me that the other day."
"I'm gonna miss you, sweetie!"
"I'm gonna miss you too, baby!"
"I wish you could go with us."
"Yeah, me too."
"What time are you leaving?" Lance asked.
"10:30"
"Want me to call you later?"
"Sure, baby." I said.
"Well, I'll let you get back to sleep now."
"Okay."
"Sweet dreams, baby!"
"Thanks. I love you!"
"I love you too!"
"Bye, baby." Lance said.
"Bye, sweetie." I said.
I hung my phone up and put it on its charger. I got my radio head set and went running.
