Chapter 208: Honoured


    David had not bothered to check his phone when he was at work, especially between lecturing Michael and putting together all the things that they had discussed in the meeting so that they could make a report for Noah when hees back, thest thing he was thinking about doing was checking his phone.


    He drove himself home and went through his normal routine and finally had time to check his phone when he was eating after his shower. He saw the message from Jen and his eyebrows crinkled in slight confusion before he hesitantly opened it.


    He saw that she sent him a picture and he opened it with a confused expression. He hadn''t been able to see it clearly so he had thought that she sent him a picture of herself which would be very awkward and confusing.


    However, after he opened it he almost choked on his chicken. He had forgotten that the girls would need to go and shop for clothes for theunch party that weekend so he was really taken by surprise when he saw the photo.


    It was a really nice picture, probably because Nancy looked embarrassed and her face was flushed from obvious shyness, but he had to admit that the dress really ttered her figure.


    They hadn''t seen each other since he dropped them off at home at Lucas'' birthday party and now he was really anticipating seeing her again.


    He ended up looking at the picture longer than he had nned to and only stopped when he realised that his food had started cooling down. He quickly finished his meal and cleaned up his dishes before he went to his room.


    He fiddled around with his phone thinking about whether he should call Nancy or not. After another ten minutes of being idle, he finally made up his mind and texted her to see if she was awake since it was getting quitete.


    [Are you awake?] he sent and waited for her reply. It did not take long for her to reply and soon enough he heard the distinctive notification tone of his phone. He picked it up to check on it and saw that Nancy replied.


    [No] she had replied making him smile. He did not think twice before he tapped on the call option. The phone rang twice before Nancy picked it up.


    "Hello?" Nacy answered her light voice echoing through the speakers.


    "Hi, how are you?" David asked as he leaned against his headboard.


    "Mmh, I''m alright, you?" Nancy answered. It sounded like she was moving around a lot so David thought that he had probably called at a bad time.


    "I''m fine, are you busy?" he asked.


    "Not really, I was just drying my hair, I just came out of the shower earlier," Nancy said and suddenly shut her mouth. She wondered whether it was too much information. Did he really need to know that she was in the shower earlier?


    "If you are too busy I can call youter it won''t be a problem" David answered.


    "It''s not that big of a deal, I can still talk" Nancy replied.


    "Alright, how was your day then?" David asked.


    "Busy, I had to go look for something I can wear on Saturday, it ended up taking quite a bit of time. Both Jen and Leanna were mad at me at the end for some reason" Nancy said clearly confused.


    "I saw a picture of what you got. The dress looks beautiful on you, I can''t wait to see you wearing it" David said honestly. Nancy was stumped for a few seconds, he was clearly flirting with her right?


    But after thinking about it for a bit, she didn''t think he would even realise that what he was doing could be taken as flirting by the other party so she decided not to take it to heart.


    "Thank you" Nancy replied. She still felt embarrassed, especially since the one that wasplimenting her was David.


    David could tell that she was feeling embarrassed even through the phone, something he found quite amusing.


    "Have you eaten?" he asked her. It was a question that she used to ask him quite often when she was trying to get him to notice her and talk to her.


    "Mmh, I got takeout with Leanna on our way back from the mall" Nancy answered.


    "That''s good then, well, I wanted to check on you and see how you''re doing," David said honestly, leaving out the part where he thought about whether he should contact her for ten minutes.


    "I''m honoured," Nancy said jokingly making him chuckle.


    "I have an early day at work tomorrow, I should be going to bed," David said.


    "I also have sses tomorrow morning. I''m happy you called" Nancy replied.


    "Mmh, goodnight" David said with a wide smile on his face.


    "Goodnight" Nancy replied and cut the call.


    David looked at his phone with a wide smile still stered on his face. It was quite an amusing sight.
