“You’re not mad at me, are you?” Cara Knox asked as she sat at the foot of the bed, a cup of coffee in hand.
“Mad? Why on earth would you ask me that, girl?” Cooper Madison said as he stretched his arms over his head.
It was just past seven in the morning and Cara had been up for an hour while Coop slumbered away in his bedroom.
“Because I crashed last night before you even were done talking to Lucy out on the balcony. I barely remember you coming inside.”
“Yeah, you were out like a light. But, you did look really cute with that lil bit of drool coming out of the corner of your mouth,” Coop teased.
“Oh, you want to talk, Sir Snores-A-Lot?”
“I don’t snore… that’s erroneous!”
“Keep telling yourself that!” Cara laughed.
“Lucy didn’t want to wake you up, so she slipped out after we came back inside.”
“Lucy sent me a text saying that you got her a car to take her home. I appreciate that. Hopefully, it wasn’t too painful…”
“It was fine, you just have a lot of people that care about you is all.”
“I’m sure it’s getting old, though.”
“Nah… keeps me on my toes.”
“Listen, I’m not going to class today…” Cara changed the subject.
“Why’s that? I thought everything went well yesterday?” Coop replied, puzzled.
“Oh, it did. It went better than I imagined. I just really wanted to spend the day with you. I was thinking last night that you’ve done so many nice things for me recently, like planning the VIP table last night at Lola, and I wanted to try and plan something nice for you.”
“Oh… well, aren’t you precious,” Coop said as he sat up. “What’d you have in mind?”
“Well, it’s a surprise. You’re not the only one with surprises, you know! We’re going on a ‘Mystery Trip’...”
“Look at you, girl!”
“I think you’re going to love it, and don’t worry, you won’t have to worry about anyone popping out of bushes where we’re going…” Cara said with a wry smile.
“Oh, that’s just not fair! You gotta give me a hint!”
“Nope… Did you give me a hint that you were going to show up at Gabby’s party? Or that you paid for an amazing five-course meal at the hottest restaurant in town?” Cara responded.
“Touché… touché…”
“I made you coffee, but first, we need to hop in the shower and get dressed.”
“We…? I like this ‘Mystery Trip’ thing already!”
