> AT A COFFEE SHOP <

"I'LL HAVE A MOCHA FRAPPUCCINO AND A CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFIN."

"OOHH.. VANILLA FRAP FOR ME.. AND... AN EGG SALAD SANDWICH."

> WHILE LOOKING FOR A TABLE... <

"SERIOUSLY?" "AN EGG SALAD SANDWICH?" "STILL ON DIET HUH?" CHARLIE WHISPERED TO PHEOMELA.

"WELL..." "YEAH.. APPARENTLY, THESE MATERNITY FATS ARE VERY HARD TO GET RID OFF FOR ME." PHEOMELA REPLIED WITH A SNOBBY LOOK.

> AFTER THEIR ORDERS CAME... <

"SO I SAW ESTELLE LAST WEEK" "REMEMBER HER FROM HIGHSCHOOL?"

"WAS SHE THE ONE WHO ALWAYS HANGS AROUND WITH THE SENIORS?" CHARLIE REPLIED POUTING HER LIPS TO THE SIDE WITH HER EYEBROWS WRINKLED AS SHE TRIES TO REMEMBER THE GIRL.

"UMHMM.. AND SHE ACTUALLY ENDED UP MARRYING ONE OF THE GUYS FROM THAT CLASS... I THINK IT WAS A FRIEND OF BEN'S!"

"HUH?.." YOU CAN SEE CHARLIE'S ALMOND SHAPED EYES A LITTLE WIDENED. "BEN?" CHARLIE SEEMS ASTOUNDED.

"WHAT'S WITH THE REACTION?" "HAVE YOU SEEN HIM SOMEWHERE?" PHEOMELA ASKED WITH A SLIGHT FEELING THAT SHE'S INTERESTED.

"NOPE..."

"BUT..."

"IT WAS HIM I SAW AT MY DREAM EARLIER." CHARLIE CONFESSED.

"AHHH! THAT STRANGE DREAM OF YOURS HUH?"

"SO WHAT HAPPENED AT THAT DREAM?" YOU CAN TELL SHE HAD LOST INTEREST AT HER OWN STORY WHILE SHE MUNCHED HER EGG SANDWICH.

"WELL, I WAS ADMIRING THE STARS AND SUDDENLY OUT OF NOWHERE HE WAS BESIDE ME JUST LOOKING AT ME..

CLOSELY.."

PHEOMELA'S EYES WIDENED WITH EXCITEMENT BUT YOU CAN ALSO TELL THAT IT IS OF SARCASM

"COULD IT BE???" "YOU STILL FANCY HIM?" PHEOMELA WHISPERED AND SMILED AS YOU CAN TELL SHE'S JOKING.

"NAHH... THAT'S JUST IMPOSSIBLE!"

"YOU KNOW HOW I FELT FOR HIM BEFORE, PLUS WE NEVER REALLY HAD SEEN EACH OTHER SINCE WE WENT TO COLLEGE, WE ARE NOT CLOSE AND NOT EVEN IN CONTACT WITH EACH OTHER." CHARLIE JUSTIFIED.

"UMMM.. MAYBE HE'S STILL IN TO YOU!" PHEOMELA CONTINUED TO TEASE CHARLIE.

"YOU KNOW HE'S GOT A GIRLFRIEND! DUHH?!!! AND LIKE I SAID THERE IS JUST NO WAY!" CHARLIE EXCLAIMED WITH A TAUNTING LOOK.

"DUHH! I'M JUST JOKING!" PHEOMELA SAID WHILE LAUGHING.

"BUT COME TO THINK ABOUT IT, WHEN WILL I EVER SEE YOU OUT WITH A GUY?"

"YOU KNOW WITH YOUR NON-DATING STATUS, IT'S MAKING ME THINK YOU MIGHT HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO MOVE ON..."

"AISSHHH!! I TOLD YOU I HAVEN'T FOUND SOMEONE I LIKE!!"

"YEA YEA YEA.. IT'S BECAUSE YOU LIKE GUYS WHO'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO DATE! UGHHH!" PHEOMELA TAUNTING CHARLIE.

"WELL, GOODLUCK WITH YOUR IMAGINARY BOYFRIENDS, UNLIKE YOU, SOMEONE WHO'S INLOVE WITH ME FOR REAL IS GOING TO CALL ANYTIME SOON SO I HAVE TO GO HOME.."

"OH BY THE WAY.." "AREN'T YOU EVEN JUST A LITTLE JEALOUS WITH ME AND ALLIE HAVING OUR REAL LIFE HUBBIES?!"

PHEOMELA SAID WITH A SMIRKY LOOK.

"TSHHH!" "BYE!" CHARLIE SHRUGS OFF

PHEOM'S COMMENT AND WAVED GOODBYE WITH A SMILE.

WHILE WALKING AND THINKING WHAT TO BUY FOR DINNER, SHE THOUGHT SOMEONE SHE KNEW PASSED BY. SHE TURNED AND LOOKED AROUND... "AHH! THERE'S JUST TOO MANY PEOPLE TODAY..." "OOHH I THINK I WANT TO EAT A LASAGNA AND PIZZA TONIGHT!" SO SHE HEAD TO HER FAVORITE PLACE WHERE LASAGNA AND PIZZA IS "SIMPLY DIVINE" TO SAY THE LEAST FOR HER.
