Chapter 2: Caught Up
When Cassidy left Java the Hut, he could feel his heart pounding violently on his chest. It was a feeling he often had whenever he was lying or when he's talking with the opposite sex. Both of which applied. His conversation with Cindy or Mac as she called herself was light and carefree but he was still awkward and uncomfortable the whole time. He had asked her to do the job under the pretense that it was school work and he didn't like lying to her.
He remembered planning to build his own company, but he knew he was not going to be ale to build it on his own. He hired Kendall and Mac to do the other technical work he couldn't handle. Until a week ago he had no idea that Cindy "Mac" Mackenzie even existed until he saw her with Veronica. After asking around the school for a computer genius her name came up and he was pleased to find her in the Computer lab.
Cassidy opened the door of his car and slipped in. He had bought himself a white Honda Civic, it was his car temporarily. Since Kendall was trying to pawn all of their other automobiles he decided that buying a cheap car under his own name will lessen the complication. His heart was still beating at an unusual rate as he opened the car radio and relaxed into the seat.
"After stealing millions "Big Dick" runs into his waiting helicopter leaving thousands of his shareholders broke. How appropriately named is this man, Dick!" the announcer was laughing heartily at his supposed wit. Cassidy sighed; ever since the Casablancas Enterprise scam exploded he's heard of sarcastic jokes and criticisms on their family. Cassidy snorted, a lot of people would assume that he wanted to build his own company to be recognized by his father but the truth was Cassidy gave up on that the day that his father left them in Neptune. He didn't realize his mistake but his father couldn't even be bothered to hate him. His body was starting to relax, the noise of the radio becoming a faint murmur, he almost fell asleep when he heard a knock on the window.
He saw Duncan. He opened the door and stepped out. "Beav, what are you doing here?"
"I…uh..," Cassidy felt his heart beat faster again, "I just went in for a cup of coffee."
"Have you seen Veronica? We were supposed to meet here," Duncan asked.
"I think I saw her go in," Cassidy replied.
"Thanks," Duncan went into Java the Hut. Cassidy let out a sigh of relief. He went back into his car and decided to go home. On his way back, his thoughts strayed to Mac. She was different to the girls he had known. She was all spunk and class. All in all Cassidy thought she was a great girl. This is why he felt even more remorseful about lying to her. He passed by a bookstore and decided to give Mac something to read. He parked his car and browsed for something that he thought would suit her personality.
