The Only Exception

Chapter 2

As soon as we got into the car he turned to me and said, "So are we going to continue our game, or what?"

"What game?" I questioned looking at him like an was crazy, because I didn't remember any game. So I was really starting to doubt my judgement of whether he was actuality insane or not.

"Of 20 questions, what else?" he said, I couldn't help but laugh at the look on on his face. He was looking at me like I was crazy. Me! It was then when I got a good look at his eyes, they were the perfect shade of of blue green that, I could get lost in those eye oh so very easily. But now was not the time to do so.

"I think that is was my turn, if you don't mind, that is." Henry said as he pulled out of the gas station, which knocked me out of my daze.

"Go ahead, I can wait my turn." I said with a smirk.

"Biggest pet peeve?" he asked.

"When people chew with their mouths open. I'm sorry but if I wanted to know what you were eating I would look at their plates." I said, "What's yours?"

"When people tap their fingers on a table or some other surface. It annoys the hell out of me." he replied.

"I can understand that but I still think that chew with you mouth open is disgusting." I said, "Your turn."

"Hmm..... what is your favorite ice cream flavor?" I could tell that he was grasping at straws for a new question.

"Cookie dough. Yours?" I asked, smiling at the thought of my favorite ice cream.

"Mint chocolate chip. Hmm...... next question.... Who is your roommate to you? I mean you seem pretty close." he questioned, making a ticking noise with his tongue.

Puzzled I simply tried to explain the relationship that Vanessa and I had, "Vanessa, my roommate, is like my sister. I've known her since the day I was born, she has always been there, no matter the distance, or the fact that she's six years older than me. Our relationship is very strange to some people but others understand it completely. We protect each other, but we fight every step of the way. Our parents were friend way before either one of us were born. If that made any sense at all, I don't know but that the only way to explain it." I took a breath but before I could start again, Henry started talking.

"I get it I think its a good thing that you have each other to look out for. Now it's your turn to ask another question." he said.

"Do you have any siblings?"

"Yeah I have three brothers." he stated, then chuckled at the look on my face.

"Three? God I feel sorry for your poor mother. Surrounded by boys all around? That's gotta suck" I replied once I got over my shock.

"Hey! We weren't that bad!" Henry exclaimed.

I gave him a disbelieving look before I shook my head and said, "Suuuuuure you weren't. Anyways it's your turn."

Henry looked around him trying to come up with something to question, "Ummm.. If I ask you what you were doing on Saturday night, and if you wanted to go out with me what would you say?"

Well that was so straight forward, I thought with a smile before repling, "I don't know. It would depend on were you would be taking me?"

"How about the pub on 17th street?" Henry asked me with a smirk on his face.

"Well then I would say that it's a date." that was when I noticed that we were almost to my car.

"I think that this is where the game stops but we can pick it up on Saturday right?"

"Sounds good to me. How about we meet at the pub at 8?" I asked Henry.

"Perfect. Any chance that I could get your number in case anything changes?" he asked with a sly smirk.

"Smart it's 555-0123." I said with a smile opening the door and getting ready to get back and put the coolant in my car. 

"See you on Saturday Allyssa Danes."

"Yeah you will Henry Callaghan." with that I shut the door and headed to my car.

The whole time I was messing with my car I had a wide smile on my face and I couldn't stop think about the man that had managed to get me to agree to out with him. That was when I remembered that I had forgotten to ask for his phone number. Oh well it wasn't like I was goning to need it. There was no way in hell that I was missing that date.
