Pop! It sounded like a boom so of course I hit the kitchen floor. "Damn bacon, why do you always have to get under my skin!". What should I wear today? No, skip over your uniform, you can dress up now. How about the nude Jennifer Lopez strap up heels, along with some ripped up light loose jeans and a nice white V-neck t shirt with gold bangles on my wrists. Let me wash my hair, damn do I love my curls. My hair needs a trim though, its almost to the middle of my back. Now strut to the mirror as if you're on a runway. I stopped, looking at myself and seeing the girl that was there before I entered the service. I used to have fun, I used to be a fun person.

Pick up the damn phone and call her! It's dialing, shit shit shit! "Hello, it's Azalea Adams, I was calling to apologize about last night, your looks mesmerized me and I couldn't think straight. I haven't been on a date in years and I'm so used to being on my own..." Azalea shut your mouth.

She chuckled at my constant talking, "Hi Azalea, you have quite some guilt I see," you could tell she was smiling by her voice, "my name is Franky Minelli."

"Well Franky, would you like to come out to the coffee shop with me? I was actually heading out that way anyway. Its not as expensive as dinner, this time it's on me." Its not as expensive as dinner, what the hell are you trying to say! Franky looked like she had some money in her pockets last night from how she carried herself. I need to get my thoughts processed before I say anything next.

"Of course, I didn't really get to catch anything about you last night" Oh god her voice sparked the fireworks going off in my head.

"Okay cool! See you at four! Bye!" Nice one Azalea, doofus. Okay grab your purse, walk out the door. Wait go get your keys, lock the door now. I think these jeans are going to cause too much attention to my ass. Hopefully she doesn't want me only for my body. Looking in the rearview mirror my blush is bringing my cheekbones out. My mascara looks fine, just start the damn car already.

"One medium mocha cappuccino please" this book is too good, The Discovery of Witches. The air and humidity is just right, its not devastating outside like Iraq. I won't sweat today thank goodness, I don't think Franky is ready to see my tough side yet. Did that really make me laugh out loud? Oh gosh.

"Azalea..." I turned around and lowered my sunglasses, to see her smiling.

Is that her cologne I smell? "Franky, hi..."
