are
most useful when they are buying you gifts, taking you to dinner and just
generally making you feel beautiful.”
     
    “First
of all, only you can get away with calling me a musical instrument all the
time.  Secondly, that’s a little narrow minded, don’t you think Ava?”
     
    “Definitely,
and that’s how you need to think Chello .  How do
you think I got Ben?  I was picky.  I had standards.  But look
at you defending this man you met barely twenty-four little hours ago.  I
hope you haven’t gone off the deep end already.  No babies in diapers
shooting pink arrows at you right?”  Her friend teased her sarcastically. 
     
    “Really
Ava?  This is me we are talking about and you  know  that
I’m not the love at first sight girl.  I’m still seeing what life has for
me but he’s definitely the type of guy that could make me think twice about that. 
Or at least I thought he was.”
     
    Her
friend gave her a tentative look that said explain and do it
carefully.   
     
    “So
I did meet him yesterday morning when we literally bumped into each other on
the street.  I was already running pretty close to late so he offered to take me to the school in . . . his limo.”
     
    “His
limo?!  Okay, even I like him now.”
     
    “Yeah
well just reserve your opinion until my story is done.  So we ride over
and everything is fine.  We joke, we laugh.  He gives me the whole
I’m into you but don’t want to say it look.  Then he has to take a call
that lasted too long.  I had to run inside.  I heard him asking for
my number when I went inside but I couldn’t stop.  I guess that I was
hoping he would have come inside or wait for me or something but that didn’t
happen.  I thought I’d never see him again.”
     
    “That
sucks.”
     
    “Wait
for it.”
     
    “O….
kay but this better be worth it.”
     
    “Well
as luck may have it, he didn’t come inside because apparently he had a big
to-do at his job.  I know this because he came to the restaurant with a
few co-workers celebrating something.  So there I was thinking that I was
the luckiest girl in town since I bumped into him twice in one day.  I
thought that we’d had such a nice time in his car earlier that when he saw me,
he’d be jumping for joy.  Instead, absolutely nothing.”
     
    “What
does absolutely nothing mean exactly.”
     
    “That
means that all he did was tell me his orders and give me a fat tip.  Other
than that, he acted like he had no idea who I was.  I know he recognised me Ava.”
     
    “Oh
you see.  Right there.  You have said enough for me.  I don’t
even know why we are having this conversation.  Miss I just want to be
free.  Falling like a ton a bricks for a guy that acts like he doesn’t
know you.  I would have made sure he remembered me. But you and I are
different like that.  You were probably never even interested in the first
place Chelsea, were you?”
     
    “Well
not initially but that was most likely because I was running late for the
showcase.  I literally bumped into him on the street and fell over.
 Like I said before, he offered me a ride.  I would have said no but
I was already behind so I just accepted.  And it wasn’t the money because
you know for a fact that I don’t care about that.  It wasn’t until I got
into his car that I realized how beyond gorgeous he was.  He’s a stock
trader or something.  He started explaining it to me at length, which
completely bored me…”
     
    “Like
you are doing me right now.  There is no reason for you to waste another
second thinking about this guy.  He’s a boring, self-centered moron that
doesn’t get to be the focus of our conversation so change of subject.  I
forgot your showcase was yesterday.  How did it go?”
     
    Chelsea’s
didn’t really want to talk about this today.  Especially not with Ava, the
most motivated person she knew.  Her shoulders fell in resignation as she
responded.   
     
    “I
