ROSEANNE
Scrolling through my laptop I grin at the words on my screen.
Google, what a blessing you are.
Grabbing my phone from beside me, I click on his name and wait for the call to go through.
"Hi, baby." He says and I feel a familiar warmth in my heart.
Giving the screen one more glance, I say. "Someone once told me to chase after my dreams."
"Who did?" I hear the humor in his voice.
Wait, that's not what he's supposed to say.
Whyyy?
"Umm," I think over what to say next but I get nothing. "Google..." I finally answer.
The moment James laughs I feel my cheeks blush in embarrassment.
Once he calms down, he turns serious. "And what dream are you chasing?"
"You," I squeak out.
"Babe," He chuckles. "I don't think that's how it goes."
Grunting, I shoot daggers at my phone.
"It's your fault, you ruined it. I had a whole plan, you know? But you had to be a party pooper and ruin my pick-up line."
"Aww, sweetheart," James cooes. "Don't get upset with me. You can chase me all you want and I will be ready to be yours."
No! He's not supposed to say things like that to me.
Grabbing a pillow from the bed, I smash my face into it and scream.
That freaking boy! He's doing things to me.
Perhaps it's because I haven't socialized much with the opposite gender.
Yeah! That has to be it.
This is all new to me.
I'm okay. It's normal.
It should be.
After a whole fifteen seconds of screaming, I remove the pillow from my face and use my fingers to comb through my hair.
"What was that?" James asks the moment I'm done.
"Who knows," I shrug. "Maybe there is a loose bear in Toronto," I say dramatically. "Or maybe it was the screams of your body as I exterminate you for ruining my pick-up line. Although, I think it's an alien invasion, they're probably here to kidnap you, but don't worry, I won't let them take you. You and I, we're a team. Let's fight through crime together."
James laughs at my comment. "A team?"
"Yeah!" I grin.
"You're so sweet, princess." He says.
"Just for you." I click my tongue and wink at the phone.
