"I wish that Victoria would invite me to the other parties that she goes to, my mom would be ok with me going and that Victoria would want us to get to know each other better, which would be up to and including sex." The stone flashed. Shortly after, the phone rang.
"Hey, Jon," said Victoria. "You still interested in coming to the art show on Friday? There'll be a party afterwards and you're invited."
"Just let me check with my mom quick," said Jon. While he was excited to be invited, he wanted to make sure that the part about his mom being ok was working the way he wanted it too.
He asked his mom. "Sure thing," she said. "As long as you don't drink. I know what those art parties are like."
When Jon told her the answer, Victoria said, "Great. I'll pick you up about six. The show starts at seven and goes until nine. After that is the party. I'll take you home when I leave." Victoria hung up the phone.
Jon was excited. He wasn't planning on drinking anyways. He wanted to be sober enough to get to know Victoria in the ways he wanted.
