friend, so she quickly called her.
Madison had rarely been in the same school long enough to make and form close friendships. She’d managed all on her own for a long time. But now, she just needed someone to talk to for a few minutes. “Dang.” Sonya’s phone went to voicemail.
Snapping her cell shut, Madison placed it on the nightstand. To her shock, it rang right away. “Hello.”
“Hey, there Fellows.” It was Micah.
Madison almost bit her tongue in excitement. “Oh, hello. How nice of you to call. How are things?” She cringed at her own words.
“Pick a color.”
“What for?”
“Just pick a color.”
“That’s a loaded question.”
“Is it?”
“Yes. I don’t know what I’m picking the color for. Could be a dress or a scarf. A car or a…”
“A car?”
“Not necessarily a car, but you know what I mean.”
“Oh, I know what you mean. Your ass did look pretty damn fine in that skirt. But sorry to say, Fellows. I’m not buying you a car. Okay let’s do it this way. Blue, black, red or pink?”
“Pink.”
“Really?”
“Is that wrong?”
“No. For some reason I just thought you’d say black.”
“Why?”
“Most people do. Black is safe. It looks good on everyone.”
“So, this is about clothing.”
“It might be. Silk or fleece?”
The sound of his voice made Madison’s head swim. She wasn’t used to talking to boys on the phone. “Silk, of course.”
“Of course. Six in the morning or six at night?”
“Morning.”
“Elephant or giraffe?”
“Giraffe.”
“Why?”
“I like their elegance.”
“Fair enough. Beer or wine?”
“What is all this about?”
“Uh-uh, little missy. I’m asking the questions here. Beer or wine?”
“Wine, of course. I’m a lady.”
“Oh, you are that for sure.”
“What is all this about?”
“Maybe I’m buying you lingerie and a zoo that can be converted to a bar at night. You’d better send me a picture of you in your underwear just to be sure.”
“And why would I do that?”
“So I can figure out what type of lingerie would look best on you, of course. Try to stay with me here, Fellows.”
Micah was a whirlwind for sure. He had an answer for everything and a way of teasing that had Madison giggling helplessly. “My phone doesn’t have a camera.”
“A damn shame. All kidding aside though. I bet you’re standing at your closet trying to figure out what to wear on our big date.”
“Actually. I hadn’t gotten that far yet.”
“Still lying on the bed freaking out, huh?”
Madison jumped from the bed as if it were hot. “Of course not.” How did he do it? It was like he was watching her. Strangely enough, the thought gave Madison a little charge. Sitting down on the bed, she laid back and began to run her hand slowly up her thigh. “What am I doing right now?”
“Hold on, let me adjust my binoculars. You are scribbling Mrs. Madison Wolfe on your binder over and over again. In…blue marker. No wait. It’s black. How adorable.”
That same sexy urge she’d felt the first time she met Micah was welling up inside of her. Oh how Madison wished she were the type of girl who could start talking in a husky voice and tell Micah to do something sexy like ‘take it out’. She’d never had phone sex before but she was eager to try it right now.
Who was she kidding? She was freaking out.
“Still there, Fellows?”
“I’m here.”
“All right. Pink it is. Have you decided where we’re going Saturday?”
“Me?”
“Just kidding. You’ll get a phone call around six o’clock on Saturday. Be ready to go. Dress warm.”
“Are you always this mysterious?”
“Why? Do girls like that?” She could almost see the smirk on his face. “Night, Madison. Sleep tight.”
Madison didn’t know what the hell had just happened. She’d gone from being excited to being nervous, back to excited, fearful and then horny and confused all at once. The only thing she knew for sure was that she
