No Rebound

Chapter 8

Chapter 8I rattled around in the house doing the usual chores but by 1pm I was finished and bored. I kept picking up my phone to text Jessica but I really had nothing to say and I didn’t want to come across as pushy, so I kept putting it down again without sending the message.

I decided to go out for a ride to amuse myself, so I spent an hour riding around a few different bike shops, getting my indicator replaced and getting quotes to get the tank re-sprayed but by 2.30 pm I was home again and bored.

I kept glancing at my phone just in case I’d missed a text from her but there was nothing. I had the rest of the afternoon to fill and then the evening to contend with and the thought of just sitting here on my own was depressing me.

Finally I realised I had a valid reason to contact Jess, so I sent her a text telling her how much my bike was going to cost and asking if she wanted to pay or go through the insurance. I then added that I was bored and hoped she was having a more exciting day than I was.

I was thrilled when she texted straight back saying she’d pay for the damage herself, that she was also bored, so why didn’t she come over and follow me to the repair shop to drop my bike off now.

Result!
