How Long You Should Wait To Have Sex: A Novel - Plot & Excerpts
Do I have to take it? It’s Saturday. It’s my birthday. I mean, come on! Then again, he wouldn’t call me on a Saturday unless it was really important. I’d better pick up.“What’s up?” I answer, trying to imply that he’s bothering me without being overtly rude to the man who pays my bills.“Sorry to bother you on the weekend, Samantha, but I’m out of town, and I just found out that Darien Campbell’s book is coming in tonight, and we need someone there to sign for it.”“On a Saturday?”“Darien messengered it as soon as she wrote ‘The End’. You know writers, they never know what day it is. Can you go by the office around 7:30pm?”“Really? Does it have to be today?”“I know it’s your birthday, and I’m sorry, but I’ve literally called everyone else in the office, and you’re the only one who picked up.” Damn it! Why did I pick up? “I wouldn’t ask, if it weren’t urgent,” he continues, “but Darien stupidly sent a copy for review to the New York Times without vetting it with us first, so I had to pull a favor at the Chronicle to get a guaranteed good review there, just in case we aren’t able to influence the critics in New York… Speaking of which, I also need for you to take the book to the Chronicle.”Is he serious?
