Breathless
14
Blake showed up at
Becca's house and knocked on the door.
Becca answered the door in her oversized
Superman t-shirt and yoga pants. Her hair was up in a
pony tail and she didn't have on any make up.
"Blake! You came to visit!"
Becca said. She threw her arms around his
neck.
"Hey there Beck. Your sister invited me
over." Blake said. Hegave Becca a kiss on the
forehead and a warm smile.
"Oh, well, come on in. She's upstairs.
I'll go get her." Becca said. Blake
took a seat on Becca's couch in the
living room next to Toby. Becca's yoga
mat was set up on the floor and calming ocean sounds
were playing.
"Caroline, your gentleman caller has
arrived!" Becca said in a fake Southern
accent.
"You're not even upset that I called
him?" Caroline asked. She brushed some mascara
over her eyelashes and blinked.
"Why would I be. And being attracted to someone
and liking them are two different things."
Becca said. She poked her head into
Caroline's closet.
"Where did you get that?"
Becca asked, holding up a designer dress
with the price tag still on it.
"Seven thousand dollars? How did you buy-"
Becca cut herself off.
"You stole a dress?"
"Beck, you can't tell anyone. Especially not
Bee! We both know he couldn't keep a secret to save
a life." Caroline says quickly. She snatches the
dress from Becca's hands and puts
it back in her closet.
"Whatever." Becca says.
Becca continues her yoga while Blake and
Caroline hang out in Caroline's room.
"Isn't Blake YOUR best friend? Why is he with
Caroline?" Toby asks. He's just finished a
comic book and is now scanning his collection for a new
one.
"Well, Caroline is going to slip up and
Blake's going to hate her. Then, all will be right
with the world again." Becca said
calmly.
As if on cue, Blake came down the stairs.
