Madeline's pov
Back inside, I cleans the tables and put the books back on the shelves before closing the coffee.
I am still in shock at what happened.
He knows my name and not just my first name but my whole identity !
My phone rings and pulls me out of my thoughts.
Its Tara, my best friend ...well my only friend I have to say.
I met her in high school, we clicked immediately and have been joined by the hip ever since.
I don't know what I would have done without her. She has been my side through thick and thin.
She's half Columbian half Nigerian, almond hazel eyes, smooth skin, long braided hair and she's a straight shooter !
Oh God ! How many times did we get in trouble because of her big mouth!
M: " Hi girl ! "
Tara: " Hi you ! What are you up to ? Still at work ? " she says.
M: " Yeah, but I'm done for the day, I'm closing in five, " I reply.
T: " Great ! You're down for pizza and horror movies tonight ? "
M: " Duh ! Always and you know it, you don't even have to ask ! " I say excited.
T: " That's the spirit ! I"ll pick you up in five then ! " and she hangs up.
I turn off the lights and head for the door when I see the casting paper hanging up again, but this time someone has highlighted : " A lifetime opportunity " on it.
I chuckle.
M: " Damn old Sam ! " I pick up the paper and close the coffee.
Tara's car was already there and she honked at me smiling .
T: " Come on ! Hurry up I'm hungry ! " she laughs.
I smile and shake my head before running to her car.
T: " How was your day ? " she asks.
M: " Almost like every day you know " I shrug.
T: " Almost is the key word !! Spill it girl ! " she nudges me .
Dang ! She's too sharp...that's scary.
M: " Nothing, just me looking like an idiot in front of a real living god ! But other than that, everything went smoothly ! " I sigh, looking out the window.
T: " OH MY GOD ! WHAT !! " she slams on the brakes and my head almost hits the dashboard.
M: " The fuck Tara ! Are you crazy ? " I yell.
T: " You're telling me that you're interested in a MAN ??!! She says smiling from ear to ear.
M: " You're really crazy and you scare when you smile like that !
"To answer your question, NO I am not interested in Damian, I am just pointing out the fact that he is a good looking man," I say.
I look at Tara and see her, mouth wide open.
M: " What now ?! "
T: " YOU KNOW HIS NAME !!! " She opens her eyes wide with a smile.
Shiiit ...
Just then we hear Marvin Gaye - Sexual Healing on the radio.
Tara burst out laughing !
