The morning started as any other before. Early fall came knocking and a rainy day just like this was nothing unusual. Carol was still adapting to the new surroundings these last few weeks because she hasn’t visited her home town for the last fifteen years. It would seem like time has stopped in this small town or countryside as she would refer to it. Anybody knew everybody, but that fact wasn’t the one that irritated her and inspired her to leave to the city right after high school, but the lack of life, places where you go to have fun. “God, this place doesn’t even have a movie theatre” she thought “like coming back hundred years in the past.”
She quickly pulled on her tight jeans and glanced at her watch; she was late already and that made her quite nervous. She heard the screeching of the tires on the driveway of her parents’ house. It was a little sports car that belonged to her old neighborhood friend that was supposed to stop by for coffee. Since it has been to long from their last encounter Carol was really excited, because they will finally have the chance to catch up. Natalie honked as discreet as possible so Carol would know that she is here. She was also excited to see her old friend, but was well aware of her friend’s tendency to be late, and the need to hurry her up.
“There, just a little more lip gloss” Carol thought” and I am out.”
She picked up her cell phone in a hurry, at which point it rang. Automatically she assumed it was Natalie calling her to tell her she has arrived, but the cell phone kept ringing, and ringing. The caller ID showed it was an unknown number that wasn’t listed in her phone.
She answered sounding disinterested and quickly said “Hello?”
“Hello” said a deep male voice on the other end. Carol couldn’t recognize it at that instant, but noticed that it sounded pretty sexy. There was something exciting in that voice.
“Excuse me, who am I speaking to?” the unknown voice half-jokingly continued.
Carol made that even more nervous so she snapped back “You are the one who called, you should introduce yourself to me!!”
“Well did I get Miss Carol?” the sexy voice stubbornly continued.
“Look I am in a hurry and I don’t have time for this, so could you just tell me what you need,” said Carol who is already obviously irritated.
“Oh I see Carol that you are busy now, so I will call you back later when you will have more time.” said the voice on the other end.
Carol said “OK, bye!” and hung up, thinking about sitting in her friend’s car. She tossed the phone in her black leather hand bag and locked the door behind her.
