Chương 15: Chapter 15: Pick Me

“Yahoo! I’m the queen of their world,” she loudly proclaimed upon waking up before her alarm. Laura was having fun despite her concern with casually dating three men. They were competing against each other to get her to pick one of them; she was worried that this competition might jeopardize the guys’ lifelong friendship.

In the early mornings she usually got a call from Alex. “Good morning Lovely Laura,” he greeted her every morning as reliable as an alarm clock. Thanks to him, she had begun waking up early in anticipation of his call from the cafe. She loved the way he pronounced her name like it was in Spanish: La-U-ra.

“How did you sleep? Alone, Mi Vida? Maybe I could bring you some coffee and a croissant one morning while you are still in bed?” She laughed at his suggestion. The more she got to know him, the less aloof he seemed and the more he flirted with her.
