"hi, this is i scream—"
"you saw ashleigh?"
"hello to you too, vanni!"
"you saw ashleigh."
"yeah, she's a bomb. we became best friends as soon as we sat down the table!"
before giovanni could answer, someone shouted from vanadis' background, startling the two of them.
"oh, that's melanie."
"your coworker?"
"yup. she's been asking me a lot of questions about you. apparently, she caught me taking a lot of time on the phone yesterday, when I was talking to you. so... yeah, she's curious."
"are there the only two of you?"
"uh, nope. there's also teejay—"
"a guy?"
"nope. but she's more badass than most guys. one look at her and you can tell she's that girl who kicks perverts in the groin. you better stay away from her, giovanni."
"what?!" he laughed. "are you saying i'm a pervert?!"
"you said that, not me!"
"come take a look at my precious biceps and let's see who's the pervert between the two of us."
"ugh, dream on."
he chuckled. right. dream on, giovanni.
"so that makes the four of us—including connor, the delivery boy. teejay runs the counter, melanie prepares the orders and acts as the waitress, and i take the delivery calls. sometimes, I also act as the waitress. but mostly, i'm just here in my booth, waiting for calls."
"waiting for me?"
"in your wildest dreams, cambridge."
he laughed,
"right."
