Heather's POV:
That night, I was sleeping at Shirley's place.
We watched a movie together yet we discussed throughout.
"How was work. Or if I may ask, did you speak with your new friend today?" Shirley teased.
"Shirley, stop. He's not the first employee I'm friends with. You're crazy." I giggled.
"I know but he is so hot!"
"That's true." I remembered the pic. I turned to her, "Today while I was at lunch with Kevin, I texted
Ace."
"Uh, huh?"
"I asked him to send a pic of himself."
Shirley's eyes widened.
"You what?? You are becoming bold!" she exclaimed and we both laughed. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"It pops up at times. I was kidding though. but he did send a pic."
"Oouu, where is it? Lemme see it!" she said excitedly.
I laughed and took out my phone to show her the picture. When I did, Shirley seized the phone from my
hand to have a closer look at the picture. Her mouth dropped open.
"Oh my fucking gosh!" she exclaimed. I laughed. "Is he a part-time model too?" she asked me.
"No. He's fit right?"
"Yes! Oh gosh, he's handsome."
"Hahaha, don't exaggerate, Shirley."
She looked at me.
"Am I lying?"
"Well," I blushed a little, "...no."
"Voila! You have said it yourself. I'm sure he likes you."
"N– no way."
"You sure?"
"Yes. And by the way he knows I have a boyfriend that I appreciate really much."
Shirley rolled her eyes.
"Let's do something. Call him." she smiled.
"What?? Why?"
"I don't know? I just wanna hear his voice. I'm sure he's sleeping by now. It's past midnight. If he picks,
maybe, I said maybe, he likes you. Cuz I see no one who'd interrupt a cozy sleep for a midnight call.
Just try."
I doubted.
"And plus," she added, wriggling her brows, "...a boy's sleep voice is the sexiest thing you can hear."
I giggled and she too.
"That's so true." I said with a blush as I nervously looked at my fingers.
"Now call. And let's see if Ace has a sexy, sleep voice."
We both laughed.
"But what will I say?"
"Ask him some dumb shit about work."
"Uh, okay."
I gathered some courage and dialed his number. Then I put the call on loud speaker.
We could hear his phone ringing. Shirley and I looked at each other patiently. Honestly, I hoped he
wouldn't pick.
"Mmm, hello?" his sleepy voice came through, making me panic and causing Shirley to smile.
"Uh, yeah. Hello, Ace. D– did I wake you up?" I asked
"Yeah..." his voice though! Shirley was smiling like a happy clown.
"Sorry, for disturbing you I–"
"No, you never disturb me, Heather..."
The way he said my name. I felt my face redden and I looked at Shirley who pretended to have fainted
from the sound of his voice. I tried my best not to laugh.
"Oh, okay. Th– that's nice."
"Is there any prob– lem?..." he asked in a slow manner.
Goosebumps.
"Yeah, uh you know the information I asked you to type?"
"Uh huh..."
"How many pages did it all make?"
"I–" I heard him yawn a little, "Twenty. I think..."
"Okay, thank you."
"Is that really why you called me? So late?"
"Uh, yeah..." I replied amused.
"For the number of pages?"
"Yeah..."
"Or was it–" he yawned and I could tell he was really tired, "...or was it because you just wanted to hear
my voice?"
My mouth dropped open and Shirley's too. I looked at her in amusement.
When I didn't answer, he spoke again.
"Confirmed. Goodnight, beautiful." he yawned a little again, "And tell Shirley goodnight too." he hung
up.
I looked at Shirley in disbelief.
"Oh my gosh!" I exclaimed. Shirley burst out laughing.
"Oh no! It's all your fault!" I laughed and threw a pillow at her. She laughed.
"He's to good!" she giggled.
I held my head in my hands.
"Oh gosh, how will I face him tomorrow??"
"Hihihi, sorry."

Christina's POV:
My relationship with Heather had really changed and I had to admit it hurt.
After the quarrel we had the night she was packing out, the next Monday, she still spoke to us. Heather
was a golden child. I actually loved her very much.
I stayed the whole night thinking. I came up with an idea. I was gonna invite her for a little family fun
amongst ourselves. Only three of us. I had to try and get us all close together again.
I decided that the next day I'd tell both my girls about it. It would be a great opportunity.
