Score My Heart // Chapter Eight

I dug through my purse looking for my key, and opened the door. Callie was sitting on her bed reading Us Weekly in her Pitt t-shirt and sweats with her blonde hair in a pony tail and glasses perched on her nose. When she heard me come in, she looked up from her magazine and greeted me in a tone that was quite unusual to use when you were supposedly enraged at your roommate. 

"How was your date?" she asked.

"Oh, um, fine" I said, confused.

"Look, can we talk?" 

"Uh, sure." I said and took a seat next to her on the bed.

"I'm really sorry about how I acted earlier, Roxy. I was way out of line, I guess I was just disappointed that it wasn't me going on a date with Sidney." she said in a sincere tone.

"Oh, well it wasn't your fault, I mean, you said you liked him and I said yes anyways, I felt bad."

"I was just wondering if we can put this all behind us and start over?" She asked, her eyes pleading.

"Works for me."

I heard a knock on the door, and I went to answer it. Standing there was Tyler with a dozen roses in his hand. 

"Uh, Ty, I appreciate it and everything, but you're my cousin. I don't have feelings for you like that," I joked.

"Hahaha," he replied, sarcastically. "Sidney dropped these off, asked me to give them to you."

I took the roses from Tyler's hands and set them down on the dresser. Attached to the bouquet was a note.

Tomorrow? 

I'd like to use that one question...

-Sidney

I felt my smile grow wider and wider as I read the note. I turned around to see Callie pretending as if she hadn't seen the roses. 

"Everything all right with you two?" Tyler asked, pointing his head in Callie's direction.

"Yeah, I think so." I replied.

"Well I'll let you two be then," Tyler said bowing his way out of the dorm.

I sat down on my bed and pulled out my phone sending a quick text to Sidney before doing damage control with Callie. 

Tomorrow it is.

I put away my phone as I turned to Callie, with sorry eyes.

"Who are those from," she asked, putting on a coat of red nail polish.

"My mom, she's just congratulating me on finding a job here" I lied. 

"Well, that's very sweet of her," she said, uninterested. "I'm going to bed, I've got a game tomorrow night." Callie said putting away the nail polish.

"Oh, yeah, um, me too. I've got a big day tomorrow."

It was true, I did have a big day tomorrow, whatever that question was, I'd need to be prepared for it.
