Chapter 5~

Mae's POV~

To Cat- hey girl hey!

From Cat- what's shakin bacon?!

To Cat- IM HUNGRY

From Cat- then get some food on your way here.. And bring me some!

To Cat- ugh! Ok only because its you gurl. Do I need to ask where from?

From Cat- NANDO'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To Cat- AWWWYEAHHHH!!!

From Cat- now go! Go my monkey servant! Retrieve the delicious bounty that is NANDO'S!

To Cat- yes ma'am! As you command!

From Cat- do not disappoint me!

To Cat- chow love!

From Cat- chow!

I put my phone on the seat next to me and started up my car. It's a gorgeous cherry red Jeep Wrangler, soft top included! My parents bought it for my 18th birthday last year. I absolutely love it!

As the engine roared to life I backed out of the driveway to the house I share with my parents and younger brother, Eric. He's as obnoxious as thirteen year old boys can get and knows it.

I was on my way to see my bestie, Cathie Stone, at her aunt and uncle'a cabin. It's more like a mini mansion hidden in the woods if you ask me. But I'm really excited because, since she moved to New York with her parents last year, I've only seen her in person twice! We text ALL the time, but it's just not the same. But before I get to see her I have to stop by our favorite eatery of ALL time, Nando's!

-------------

I pulled into the parking lot at Nando's and fond a spot close to the door. right as i was getting out of my Jeep I got a text from Cathie.

from Cat- gurrl whats takin you soo long?

I smiled and shook my head at my impatient friend. while walking toward the door i texted her back.

to Cat- calm down i just got to Nando's!

from Cat- UGGH

then my face connected with something solid.

i let out a

"Oh Mother of Shorties!"

as my butt connected with the concrete. I searched the area around me trying to find my phone that i had probably flung halfway across the parking lot. but I found it right beside me. I quickly inspected for damages while rubbing my forehead where the door had hit me. when i heard a voice above me

" Im so sorry! i didnt see you there!"

My head snapped up. It was a guy, probably around my age. What had caught my attention was his accent- it just had to be Irish. Sunglasses and a hoodie were covering his face, preventing me from getting a better look at his face.

"Oh, uh um, it's-er- fine"

I awkwardly choked out.

He held out his hand

"Here let me help you"

When I put my hand in his he pulled me up with little effort.

I dusted off my jeans and put my phone in my pocket.
