After the shower I check to find an email from Smith int. Informing me of an open interview they are conducting in their Hollywood office tomorrow morning at nine a.m. sharp I do a little happy dance and immediately call Jess my best friend of ten years and tell her the good news we talk for all of an hour and call it a night seeing as though I have to wake up early in the morning. Actually sleeping though is another story I suffer from insomnia and it’s a real pain in the cupcakes!

I climb out of bed shower and put on my sweats and a crop top with a pair of slides it’s Friday I have nothing set for today so I gab my purse and keys and head out the door. I arrive at a little cafe on the outskirts of town and take a seat just as a young red head approaches from the back office. “Hello my name is Maggie I’ll be your waiter this morning can I start you with drinks she says as she places the menu down. Sure I’ll have a lemonade and a coffee cream two sugars please. “Sure I’ll grab those and be right back”. I began to go through the menu just as the door chimes open and I look up and it’s him Jace Smith I could recognize him anywhere. I avert my eyes back to the menu and decide on the eggs Benedict with a side of cheese grits. The waiter returns and takes my order and picks up the menu and leaves to put my order in. I’m sipping o
