Happy doesnot even began to cover how i feel,It was ecstatic,over the top joy,when i read the mail in my account from the very and the only famous publication house'Clark & Garrix', OMG that was just a moment i din't realise,how close i was to my dream.I sure have ever wanted this,but it came too soon than i thought it coming,i m reminded of mom,honestly she would be so proud & dad,he would want to come here to congratulate me already.

"Am i missing something here?"
Mrs.Stephene's asks keeping my coffee on the table.I get up and hold Mrs.Stephene in a tight embrace then turning my macbook's screen towards her to show her the mail.Her eyes soften and glitter at the same time she reads and her hands reach my shoulder,a huge grin plastered her face & she holds me and kisses my forehead,

"I'm so happy for you,you are daughter of a kind,that parents are proud of" with sweetness clear in her voice.
"Thank you Mrs.Stephene,trust me,this is heartwarming to know someone cares for you"

I reply cheerfully,

"Ohk & now,I'm gonna break this news to mom & dad,see you again!" i added exiting the doorway.

I fish my iphone from pocket and i swipe it to open dial pad,i call dad's number to find it reach voicemail.

"fuck" i mumble as i hit a hard something & iphone hits the ground,i squint my eyes to slowly open them & find a familiar face arranging its parts.

"In a hurry,are you miss?" he asks wiping the screen.
"Hi,umm..? i m sorry,i dint catch your name,i mumble biting my lower lip.
"Kevin Foster, and you are Miss Adriana,right ?he confidently fires handing my phone back.
"yeah Adriana Benette i add looking at my iphone,thankfully its working,Sturdy much,huh!" i answer back smiling curtesously.
"I realise,i dont know much about you",he states bit hesitantly.
"what do you wanna know?"i ask amazed.
"Anything,if its about you,would you mind having a coffee as we happen to be standing just near to Barista?"he asks,uncertainity clear in his voice.
"Ok"is just i say fixed to my spot.
"After you",he directs me to Barista.
"what was so intriguing that fetched your attention while walking,if may i know"he questions smirking.
"That is because,i m elated since i received a mail from a very famous publication house that they like my work & have called me for a walk-in"i chirped taking a seat.
"Really,congratulations on that,so we are here on the right time to celebrate,tell me anything specific,you would like to have,or my choice?"he asks
"I never agreed on you buying me coffee,i m coming and i'll pay for myself"i said getting up from the chair.
"So,you wont let me have that favour,huh?"he purrs.
"Ofcourse not,i m strictly against the concept of 'friends with benefit'i utter with slight pout and one eyebrow up.

Barista treats us with our choice caramel mocha wipped cream and we head back to our place.

"you know my friends call me casanova,but seriously,i say the truth,i like you,i like the way you talk,the way u just hit into me & mostly i like your beautiful smile".

It was nothing new for me,this has become a casual part of my life,this flattery,so i snigger and add

"first and foremost,lemme tell you how right are your friends to call you casanova,and second most,It dint work,because i m susceptible to flattery.you have to be sensible to a girl's feelings & pay attention to her,thats how you win half of it."

"Okay,he zapped and added
"let me squarely ask you,if you would be my plus one for the friday bash?"
"Okay,since you are first to ask me,its a yes"clatter back

I glance at my iphone screen,as it buzzes with a pop up that reveals Adiva's text &
"Gosh,I need to leave,I'll see you you around"

I hastily make my way out of Barista and i make my way to the basketball court jostling the audience.

"you are late,see there that jersey number 6,that's Ivan."Adiva utters crankily.
"where have you been?Nancy's inquisition starts.
"All in a days work,but i have something very special to inform you both."i chimmed in.

The selection trial match is close for the first round & Ivan is in.
"Hey,glad to see you all here,thanks for coming"he states gleefully.
"You are an amazing player,it was wonderful watching you"Adiva responded moving towards the court.
"Congratulations on your selection"Nancy said swiftly.
"Thank you for coming,i guess i'll hit shower now"Ivan stated wiping sweat off his forehead.
"Goodluck,see you around"i utter non chalantly.

We make our way out to grab lunch where Nancy breaks that she'ld be working at the departmental store in the Zmall & then i announce of my selection & internship offer at 'Clarks & Garrix'.

"Lets raise the toast in the name of new jobs"Adiva cheered.
"New jobs"Nancy and I joined in.
"How did you manage to scratch your phonecover Adriana?"Adiva fired.
"Well,I was elated after i read this mail in the morning,so much that i barged in a man and dropped my phone"i replied taking the scrached cover off.
"Sounds filmy,much !"Nancy added.
"There's more to it,that man was Kevin,my partner from the lab,he's such a player,who loves to get around,he asked me to be his plus one for the freshers & i submitted.
"Its incredible,& its gonna be one amazing day,much awaited indeed,Adiva & Nancy teamed up,hifying.
