Tammy sits at a table in her favourite cafe, sipping on her cup of coffee and simply looking through a newspaper. She was unemployed for a few weeks now and living at her brothers apartment. It was obvious that she was completely lost and had no idea where she should start searching for a new job. She looks around the cafe and examines the people sitting at the other tables when suddenly some random guy trips beside her.
"Omg are you okey??", Tammy asks the unknown guy who was crawling on the ground.
"Yea I was just- oh there it is. Thank god." He picks up his wallet as fast as he could and looks at her with his teddy bear brown eyes.
"Sorry I think I got a little carried away and didn't saw the chair there.", he smiles embarrassed and scratches the back of his neck.
"Don't worry it can happen to anyone.", Tammy told him and grabs her newspaper from the coffee Table.
"Oh I am Mike." He holds his hand out for her to shake.
"Tamira but please call me Tammy. Only my Dad calls me by my full name. Nice to meet you.", she says and chuckles as she takes his hand.
"Oh my Its already 1pm. I am really sorry. I would love to spend more time talking to you Tamir- I mean Tammy but I have to hurry. Wait can i have you're number? So maybe we can meet up another time and chat a little.", he asked and smiled innocent.
"Yea sure wait a second." She pulls out a pen and a piece of paper out of her bag and wrote her phone number on it.
"Here you go." She gave him the piece and he smiled at her.
"Bye Tammy see you another time. I will definitely call you."
"I am looking forward to it. And be careful this time.", Tammy jokes as she grabs her bag and stuffs the newspaper in it.
"Shitty bag", she mumbles and kicks lightly so the newspaper fits in. She grabs her stuff and went out to her car clicking the open button on her car key.
Tammy thought about the stranger which name she revealed as Mike.

After she arrived at her brothers apartment, she threw her bag on the floor and let herself fall back onto the couch. Her brother was currently at work at the new restaurant around the corner. She also applied for a job there but never got an answer back.
"Mhh how much I love it to be at home", she mumbles and pulls the blanket over her so it covers her body.
Suddenly the phone rings and Tammy groans as she stands up to answer the call.
"Hello Sanchez here?"
"Hello Sweetheart how are you?" She hears her father's voice at the end of the line.
"I am good how about you dad?", Tammy tells him.
"I am fine little kangaroo. Have you found a job yet?"
"I am still looking for one but I have a feeling that I am getting closer." They both laugh and she got back to the couch with the telephone in her hand. She wraps the cable around her finger playing with it.
"That are good news. I am sure you'll find something. Alright I won't disturb you longer. See you soon. I love you Sweetheart."
"Love you too Dad bye.", she waves as if he can see her. She hangs up and the door opens.
"Oh you're back. Found anything?", Cody asks as she put the phone back on the holder.
"Sadly not but I have a good feeling.", Tammy smiles at him.
"Thats good news sis. Are you hungry?"
"Not really I already ate like half an hour ago. Oh dad called he wanted to know how we are."
"Ah okey. I'll order pizza you can have some when you're hungry.", Cody told her and walked towards the telephone. Tammy just nodded and walked into her room to take a nap.

Mike walks out of the cafe looking at the time. The clock says 1:13 pm.
"Fuck", he mumbles to himself and quickly gets into his car.
After some time he finally arrives at Abby's school and runs to the entrance.
"You're late. Again...", Abby says quiet and stands up from the stairs which she just sat on.
"I am sorry Abs I couldn't come earlier but the traffic was a disaster.", he lies
"As always "the traffics" fault.", Abby huffs and walked to the car followed by Mike.
"Abby please I am trying my best okey?"
Abby gets in the backseat and ignores Mike while looking out of the window. The streets outside the window move like a flip-book and Abby admires the beautiful lights which gave the city a little pep.

Mike takes the phone and dials her number.
"Hello Sanchez. Cody speaking.", a male voice says.
"Hello Mike here. Is Tammy home?"
"Oh yea dude she's here. Tammy phone for you.", he shouts.
"Hello?" Mike needs a moment to realise that it's actually her.
"Hey Tammy it's Mike from the cafe. You remember the dude who tripped beside you. I just wanted to ask you if you want to come over for dinner tomorrow"...
