an instant reply, so I put my phone down and decide to take a shower. When I’m finished, I am alerted with a beep that I have a message. It’s from Keegan, of course, and by the time stamp, he texted me right back.
I’m happy I could oblige. I slept well, too, and my boss is a tyrant. He works me to the bone. Sometimes I wonder if he has a life of his own.
I laugh at his response and send him another message.
Do I have to have a conversation with said tyrant? That’s what friends do, you know. I have your back.
Another instant response makes me giggle
Do you have my front, too? Being my friend, you really should cover all your bases.
“What’s so funny?” Reese appears, just having woken.
“She’s alive,” I say with a laugh.
“Very funny. Who are you talking to?”
I stare at her, knowing she probably can figure it out on her own. She just wants me to admit it.
“By the smile on your face and those googley eyes, I would say it’s either Chris Hemsworth or the long lost bestie.” She smirks.
“Not Chris Hemsworth.”
“Hmm…”
I stare at her with a smile and unspoken language that says you’ve got me.
“I am as smitten as you are.” Reese then mutters something about coffee and heads to the kitchen.
I go ahead and send one last text back to Keegan before I head to my room to watch a well-deserved Outlander marathon.
Of course, as your friend, I am obligated to fight your battles and throw down. By the way, Reese and Kaleb may soon be a duo.
I put my phone down, not wanting to be so eager, and head to my bedroom to turn on the Outlander marathon. I watch as Claire and Jamie fall hopelessly in love. Realizing two people who were meant to be together were thrown together by fate, I can’t help wishing I could have the same with Keegan. It’s all merely fantasies, of course. Who am I kidding? I need to start living in the real world.
I press pause on the television and hear Reese head into the bathroom to get ready for her date, so I yell at her to not forget to shave her legs then hear her laugh. Then a ding alerts me to an incoming text.
Yes, I heard all about it at 5 a.m. when he called me.
Wow, those two really are made for each other , I say to myself.
Chapter Eight
The rest of Sunday was uneventful unless you count Kaleb picking up Reese for their date.
I didn’t receive any more texts from Keegan, and I would be lying if said I wasn’t a little disappointed.
After finishing my Outlander marathon, I went to bed, exhausted from the weekend and my early morning wake up call. I didn’t even hear Reese come in from her date.
I was excited to head into work Monday and turn in my article. The first thing I did after Reese and I made it in a little before nine with coffee in hand was power up my desktop and email my article to Olivia. I continued to work on a few different projects. I received a text from Keegan telling me to have a great day, and of course, it made me smile. I replied with a smiley face, which in turn made me cringe at myself for being so juvenile. What am I, like twelve?
Reese and I ate our lunch in my office as she gave me a play by play of her date with Kaleb. He took her to a posh bistro, and unlike the night before, they just got to know one another. Reese was especially excited to find out they have a lot more in common than she realized. She then wanted to know what he was like growing up, so I gave her the low down on Kaleb James as I remember. From listening to Reese go on, I realize he is still the same sweet, kind, and humorous boy he always was.
Halfway through lunch, Olivia enters my office, dressed casually in a black maxi dress with her long, blonde hair pulled back in a low ponytail. .
“Hi, ladies,” she greets.
“What’s up?” I ask.
“Just wanted to let you know that your article on Keegan James has been approved. His assistant just emailed me back. We are going to publish it in our next issue along with Reese’s
