Living the Dream

Chapter 3

Rose's POV
I find myself tearing up and I realize that I am smiling so hard my cheeks hurt. My stomach drops as the plane loses altitude and I look over to see Mac closing her eyes. I rest my head on her shoulder and we land. My heart is thumping so hard and I was pretty sure everyone could hear it. Mac pulled me into a tight hug after we got off the plane. "Good afternoon ladies! There is a car outside waiting for you." A man in a suit said. "I am Alexander Logan, your limousine driver." Mac looks at me and her face flushes. I can tell she likes this guy. She extends her hand toward Alexander and says "Hi! My name is Mac." They stare into each other's eyes until I fake-cough. "Oh um... Sorry." Both of them blush and Alexander goes around to open the door for Mac. He gets into the drivers seat and turns on the radio. Finally me and my best friend are on our way to our apartment. She is holding my hand as we pull into the driveway and then we gasp in unison. The apartment is beautiful! There is a balcony on the second floor and the backyard has a fence and a porch. Alexander starts helping Mac unload the luggage. I slyly grab a piece of paper and a pen from my carry-on bag and write down Mac's phone number on the paper and set it in the front seat. Then I hop out and run up the spiral staircase to see Mac and Alexander sitting together on her bed. They see me come in and scramble to get up. Alexander quietly mutters "Bye..." and shoves his hands into his pockets. We hear the front door close and then I bust out laughing. I told Mac that I left her number in the limousine for Alexander. "I talked to him and he is 19. That's only 1 year older than me." She smiles and looks excited. I can tell that she genuinely likes Alex. "It's love at first sight!" I yell. She laughs and we head downstairs to make dinner. We make a casserole and have some ice cream for dessert. Mac starts unpacking but I head straight to bed. This feels so unreal that I'm almost scared I will wake up and realize this whole experience is a dream. California is even more perfect than I had imagined.
