Previously on “When Howie Met Jessi,” we saw Howard on his way to Bible Study, but was trapped in a long line at the supermarket. As he was in the process of taking his mind off the long wait, he was singing—of all things—a theme song from wrestling, and a young woman named Jessica Torres was singing along with him. A conversation sparked betwixt the two, and soon thereafter, Jessica wrote down her digits and gave them to Howard.
And now we continue with Part Two of “When Howie Met Jessi.”
“What are the odds of this happening!” Howard thought to himself as he nodded appreciatively and accepted Jessica’s phone number. He observed how she wrote down her digits—each number was written perfectly, and when she wrote her first name, she dotted the “I” with a smiley-faced heart.
“I do hope to hear from you soon, because I’d really like for us to kick it this weekend,” Jessica said with a sparkling smile.
“I shouldn’t have anything to do this weekend, but you will most definitely be hearin’ from me,” Howard smiled.
As they parted ways, Howard did a little Texas Two-Step and headed home to prepare for Bible Study. He couldn’t help himself—he was so giddy that he was about to bust. However, he knew that he needed to keep his mind on Bible Study. When he got home, he only had enough time to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, then head to church for Bible Study. He prayed that he would be able to concentrate on the subject, but yet and still, he was so thrilled about meeting a girl at such a random place that he walked into the church with a Cheshire Cat smile.
After Bible Study ended, Howard went home and sat on the couch to think. Should he call Jessica now, or wait until tomorrow? He had read articles about how the guy should wait at least a day to call, but his Auntie Sandy always told him that when a girl gives her phone number to a guy, the ball is in his court. What was Howard to do?
It took him fifteen minutes to come up with the answer, but Howard finally went ahead and dialed Jessica’s number. Would she answer it?
Ring... ring... ring...
