Cooper Madison chuckled to himself as he washed his hands after eating the greasy burger and fries lunch with Cara. The look on Henry’s face when Cara gave him his keys back was priceless.
Never to be caught off guard for long, Henry quickly recovered and asked Cara if Coop had opened the door for her. He then shot Coop a look of approval.
At least I think it was approval…
“What’s so funny?” Cara asked as she saddled up next to Coop at the sink.
Before he could answer, Coop’s phone began to ring. It was his agent, Todd “T-Squared” Taylor.
This can’t be good…
“Hello?” Coop said as he motioned to Cara that he would be quick. The last thing he wanted to do was talk shop with his agent when his time with Cara was limited.
“Who’s the girl, Coop?”
“Come again?”
“Who’s the girl that you’re making out with next to a pond? And why am I finding out about her from the internet? I’m hurt, bro...”
That asshole already sold his pictures?
“Now’s not a good time, T-Squared. I have company over,” Coop did his best to let Todd know he couldn’t have this conversation right now.
“Well, if it’s the girl in the pictures make sure she knows that she’s all over CMZ. They’re calling it ‘Coop’s Catch’ - pretty funny, actually…”
“Bye, Todd,” Coop said as he abruptly ended the call. He thought he would’ve at least had a day before the pictures hit the internet.
“Is everything okay?” Cara asked as she dried her hands off next to the kitchen sink.
“It depends how you take the news that the pictures of us at the pond are already making the rounds on the internet…” Coop replied.
“Oh… that was fast…”
“Yeah…” Coop said as he studied Cara to see how she would react.
“What website are they on?” she asked.
“CMZ…”
“I want to see them…”
“Are you sure?”
Cara’s look answered his question.
“I’ll get my laptop,” Coop said as he left the kitchen.
He made his way over to the kitchen table where Cara was now seated and handed her his laptop computer.
Cara immediately went to CMZ’s website just as she had done thousands of times before. She loved reading up on celebrity gossip, but now she was about to see how it felt to be on the other end of things.
The lead story on the front page of the website jumped out at her.
“Coop’s Catch”
Cooper Madison, former big league all-star turned recluse was spotted near a small fishing pond outside of Cleveland today with a mystery woman. Madison has rarely been seen in public since his abrupt retirement from baseball following the tragic death of his father during Hurricane Katrina.
