~~*Chapter Nine*~~
Morgan closed her book.
-
Honey, someone on the phone for you !
She raised her eyebrows.
-
Who ?
Her mother was grinning as she held the cell
phone out to her. Morgan couldn’t see it, but she heard the smile in her
voice.
-
A boy. He seems really sweet.
-
Really ? It’s not that common.
She waited for her mom to leave the room, then
she put the phone against her ear.
-
Hello ?
-
Morgan ? This is Brian.
The girl nearly dropped the phone because of
surprise.
-
Brian ? Why… Why are you calling me ? And
how… I’m sure that Cilia’s the reason you’ve got my number !
-
Yes, she is. And I’m very grateful she gave it
to me.
-
Mmmm, I don’t know… Depends what you have to
say.
-
Well… I just got a wonderful idea.
-
I begin to be afraid. What’s on your mind ?
-
The Backstreet Boys need two ravishing young
women to travel with them and to help them to have a great time on the road. I
thought that maybe Cilia and you could be the lucky ones ?
-
Oh, I… Are you joking ?
-
I swear I’m not ! We’d really like you to
join us.
-
Brian, I don’t know what to say… I’d love
to, but…
She sighed. Why was this handicap always there
to prevent her from doing what she was dying to ?
-
It’s hard for me to go to unknown places. I
need to be accustomed to a spot to feel at ease.
Brian’s voice was timid when he spoke again.
-
Cilia and Bob will be there… And I’ll be
happy to assist you…
-
Does she agree with this plan ?
-
She’s enthusiastic.
-
Let me think about it… I’m not certain
that…
-
Please ?
Morgan smiled. Brian was almost imploring her to
come.
-
Ok, she said. I agree, too.
-
Marvellous ! Oh, thank you ! We’re going to
have a blast, you’ll see !
It was like a sun raising into his voice, a
thousand bubbles of joy blowing up inside his throat.
He’s really glad,
thought Morgan. I wonder what’s going through his mind at the moment. I’m
joining the Backstreet Boys on tour… Is that a good thing ?
-
Be ready tomorrow morning, okay ? I can’t wait
to leave with you ! Our next city is Birmingham. Never been there ? Great,
we’ll do some sightseeing ! Don’t forget, huh ? We’re coming to pick you
up around… eleven ? See you soon
! Love !
He was so excited. Maybe that it was really
going to be fun ?
I’m happy he asked,
decided Morgan, all of a sudden. I’m happy to go.
