Chapitre 15: Chapter 15: Surprise Date Night

ADELE’S POV

My phone rang, and it was Jasper.

“It’s the guy,” I said to Maddie. “The engagement guy.”

She kicked my foot under the table and said, “Answer it!”

Nervously, I put the phone on speaker.

“Hey,” I said awkwardly.

“Hello beautiful,” Jasper said. “Hungry?”

I glanced at the half of a box of donuts I had devoured, and Maddie nodded her head continuously.

“I could eat,” I told Jasper. “I’m downtown at the cafe right now.”

“Great,” Jasper said. “I’m walking by right now. I’ll pick you up.”

“Then I’ll see you outside,” I replied. I hung up and exhaled.

“Oh!” Maddie exclaimed. “He sounds hot! I like him!”

I nodded and grinned.

“He’s pretty hot,” I admitted.

Maddie pulled her sunglasses down and peered outside the cafe’s window.

“Yeah,” she murmured, “but like, not that hot, right?”

I gathered my handbag and pulled Maddie by the hand.

“Nope!” I said. “That’s him alright.”
