Annalise

“So, are you going to tell me what happened?”

Annalise gushed as she stirred her coffee. Madison smirked. She raised her eyebrows as she took a gulp of her vanilla latte,

“There’s really nothing to tell. It just didn’t work out.”

“Oh come on, Mads, you two were so perfect; something must have happened.”

Annalise pried, giving Madison an intrigued look. Madison knew Annalise was not going to back off. The two had been best friends since grammar school and knew each other better than anyone else. She hadn’t told Annalise the details of her break up, or steamy hook up with the hot bartender, but she could tell that Annalise suspected something was up. Madison shrugged and took another sip of her latte; an excited smile began to force its way across her face as she desperately tried to hide it.

“I knew it!” Annalise smacked Madison’s arm playfully.

“Tell me everything!”

“It’s nothing. It’s not worth telling.” Madison said; her heart sank.

She hadn’t heard from Connor since they met, and she was flooded with disappointment. Annalise gave Madison a suspicious stare. She pursed her lips for a moment and decided to let it go for now.

“Fine. If you won’t share your news, then I’ll share mine; I met someone!” Annalise’s eyes grew wild with excitement. She could barely contain herself.

“Get out! Where? What’s he like?” Madison exclaimed.

“He’s GORGEOUS. Ugh and he’s so funny, Mads. You would love him. He’s absolutely DELICIOUS. We’re going out for drinks next week.” Annalise raved about her new beau.

“You HAVE to meet him. He needs your seal of approval.” Madison couldn’t help but be a little jealous of her friend. At least her guy had called.

“Sounds great, Leese! I can’t wait to meet him.”

Annalise continued spilling the juicy details of her new man, making sure not to leave anything out. As she droned on and on, Madison became lost in her own thoughts. Why hasn’t he called? We hit it off so well; I just don’t understand. Suddenly, something snapped Madison out of her thoughts. Her phone buzzed wildly on the table. Madison’s heart sped up, her eyes widened. The words on the screen flashed:

New IMESSAGE Connor.

*Make sure you come back next week to find out what comes next!*
