"Video Princess Blues"
chapter 3
Crap! It's morning already??? I groaned and pulled the pillow over my head............Just a few more minutes..............
3 hours later
Ring...RING!
I sat up and grabbed the phone. "Lt.Col. Mackenzie"
"Mac?..... I shuddered involuntarily....*gulp* it was Renee. ...I've been waiting at the mall for 15 minutes now, are you on your way?"
Oh GOD! I searched my internal clock to find it was 12:16! I had overslept........
"Yeah, sorry Renee ....I'm running a little late, but I'll be there in a few." I told her in a rush.
After hanging up, I rushed to the closet. I grabbed some denim Jeans ,a low-cut red t-shirt, brown strappy sandals, and made the change quickly. This wasn't like me....I was NEVER late.
12:43
THE MALL
(Mac's POV)
I got out of my corvette, self-consciously straightened my clothes, and headed for the Mall entrance........this was going to be one long day.
It didn't take me long to spot the blonde standing inside the Mall doors. I plastered a smile on my face, and said a silent prayer as I approached her.
"Mac!" she said enthusiastically, as if we were long lost friends. *gag me*
"Renee." I replied, nodding at her. 'suck it up, marine' I reminded myself.
"28 minutes late... according to what Harm tells me of your incredible sense of timing, that's not like you. I was worried." she said with a hint of annoyance in her voice.
ugh....Just two minutes with this Woman and she was already trying my patience??? I let my cattiness get the best of me as I replied cooly:
"Actually....it's 27 minutes.Renee." I said , though still smiling. She didn't seem to appreciate the comment. ......Is it too late to back out now???????
THE END
A/N--I NEED REVIEWS!!!!!!!!! : )
