Lonely Boy

Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting

I dial Rhett's telephone number. It's a Tuesday night, around eight o'clock. The line picks up after the second ring. "Rhett, hey," I say into the phone, but am not met with his voice.

"This is actually his mother, Alice." I'm a little startled. I wasn't expecting anyone but him to answer.

"Oh, I'm Mila. Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you, too. Rhett talks about you all the time, you know."

I can feel my cheeks flush red. "Oh, r-really?" I can't help but stammer.

Alice laughs lightly. "Yes, honey. I just wanted to thank you for being a good friend to him. He needed one." Leaving no time for me to reply, she speaks again, "I'll put him on the phone."

"T-thank you."

Rhett picks up seconds later and we talked until midnight.
