<<ANGIE>>

        For the next couple of days, things were perfect. We both told one another we loved each other. We both started anew, on a clean slate. Life was going great.

         I was helping out at the shop rather it came to taking the money to the bank or cleaning up or whatever helped him out. Though everybody, including James said that I didn't have to do anything. But the thing was, I couldn't just sit around and do nothing.

         I was able, however, to bring in some of my work with the Special Effects make Up supplies and begin to create creatures to add to my collection.

        Today, I realized that I hadn't heard from Luke in a while and he hasn't answered any of my texts or James'.
 
        He was always good at replying right away or within that day. I hated to bug him, but we missed him and wanted to see how things were going.

        I went into the office and texted him real quick.

ME:   Hey stranger! It's been awhile.
           James and I wanted to see
           how you were doing. Text
           me back. :(

       Then, less than two minutes later, I FINALLY get a text back from him.

LUKE:   Hey there cousin! Yeah, I'm
               sorry I haven't answered you
               back in a while. I do miss you
               too. Which by the way, I have
               a little surprise for you.......

ME:     Which is?....

LUKE:     I'm in town! :) ;)

ME:      Wwhaaaat?...

LUKE:     Yep. Just got in a couple of
                 hours ago. But I thought that
                 maybe we should meet up
                 and talk over coffee or
                 something. I have some
                 important news that I need
                 to tell you. 

ME:   OK. Is it bad?

LUKE:    No. Of course not. It's about
                James. 

ME:     OK....??

LUKE:      LOL. Don't worry. It's a
                  surprise that I have for
                  him for his birthday
                  coming up in a few weeks. 

ME:     Awesome! Well, I'll have him
            run an errand or something
            and you can come over to the
            condo? You're in town, right?

LUKE:     Yes. I wanted to surprise you.
                 Surprise! 

ME:      OMG. Well, before we meet up.
              I just have something I wan't
              to ask you....

LUKE:     Yes?

ME:     WHO. THE. FUCK. IS. THIS?!!

LUKE:     It's Luke, Dork. 

ME:      NO. It's not! Because LUKE
             knows that James' birthday 
             isn't for another three
             months. So whoever this is,
             stay the hell away from me
             and stop messaging me!
