Chapter 3: Chapter 3

“That was awesome, man,” I said as we stood before Landry’s door. He was on the second floor. “I had a great time. We seem to have a lot of chemistry together. Playing, I mean.” I bit my tongue. Now was not the time to be flirting.

If Landry caught my slip, he didn’t say. “I enjoyed it, too. Maybe we could make this a weekly thing. We should get together, figure out some music, see where it goes. If you want to, that is.”

“I’d love it,” I said and shook his hand. “Thanks. I really needed this.”

“I’m glad I could help.” The look in his eyes said he might want to helpme with something else, but the timing wasn’t right. Seemed my vibe about him had been correct.

I stepped back as he unlocked the door. “Let’s exchange numbers, and you can text me when you have time to practice.” Once we did that, I said, “Later, Landry.”

“Bye, Jimmy,” he replied and went inside.
