Author's note: Welcome back folks, This is the second chapter to Plan B Reborn and Reboned.
Meanwhile, exiting the lobby Mary received a text from the mystery man as her phone went off with a ding from inside the purse. Not wanting to look at the phone right now Mary made her way to the edge of the sidewalk as she turned her head. Looking up at the impressive apartment building she had walked out of nearly took her breath away. Turning back to the street Mary stood at the edge and raised her hand trying to hail a taxi, hoping once she was far enough away she could begin to piece the puzzle together. After about 5 minutes a Cab pulled over and as it did Mary let out a sigh of relief as she entered the cab.
"So miss where can I take you to?" The cabbie asked Me as I quickly looked through the phone trying to find an address.
"Well I'd like to head home if I can find it on my phone." I laughed hoping he would semi understand my predicament.
"Let me guess night of drinking and then went out and had some extracurricular fun?" He asks me as he seems to know plenty of situations like mine.
"That's spot on Sir, one moment and I'll let you know my address. Thank you for understanding." I smiled at him as I finally found it and showed him.
"Well missy you're quite welcome and please call me Jesse. And onto Hollywood hills it is then." He exclaims as I notice his southern drawl.
As Jesse pulled out onto the main part of the street, Mary was glad and relaxed into the surprisingly soft cushion of the cab seats. After five minutes in the cab the vehicle came to a stop at a red light as Mary decided to use the time to begin research. She grabbed the phone off of the seat and began to snoop around to piece the puzzle together. Her fingers hovered over the messaging app and clicked it open. Thankfully, she did not have to search for long, as she found a contact labeled BFF.
Needless to say, she clicked it open and began to read through and what she read shocked her greatly. While reading "her" BFF's messages she learned that the woman whose body she was in was named Maddie. Maddie had apparently gone out last night with her friends to celebrate a job promotion while bringing a date along. The cab began to move again and Maddie scrolled through her phone continuing to read as Jesse turned on some music. While reading she found out the man she woke up next to was named Jared.
As well, her assumption was correct that she had gone back to his apartment after getting extremely drunk. Mary stopped reading for a moment to collect her thoughts as she now had some pieces of the puzzle put together. After a minute she continued to read, and after drinking a bit too much Maddie had started getting extremely friendly with Jared. She had straddled him in his seat and the two had started making out in the club. A blush crept onto her face at the thought as it apparently didn't take much for this young woman to lay. Maddie's friend texted that while Jared was drunk as well the two of them were coherent enough to have gone back to his place and their coupling consensual.
Thankfully, the cab trip was quiet and uneventful except for the occasional small talk as Mary tried to portray Maddie as best as possible. Coming up to Hollywood hills Jesse had come to a stop at a luxurious house, and that was putting it lightly.
"Well ma'am this type of trip would usually cost you a pretty penny but seeing as how you've probably had a rough night I'll give you a discount. A crisp 25 and I'll be on my way." He says warm and understandingly.
"Jesse thank you for being so generous but at least let me pay you 50*." I say reaching into my purse and pulling out the appropriate bill.
"Well that's mighty kind of you miss, and you are quite welcome for the wonderful Los Angeles cab experience. Also if you ever need a friend or a pickup here's my card" He says handing me the business card as I take it and exit the cab.
I walk up the driveway as Jesse backs out while honking the car horn and waving me off as I have a small wave and smile back watching him leave. As he left I let out a sigh of relief and began walking towards the house.
