"So Cristina, how were your classes this week?" Orlando asked.

"Pretty good!" Cristina replied. After a few hours of skiing the two found themselves in the lodge talking while sipping hot coffee.

"What kind of classes are you taking this year?"

"Mostly boring stuff. The further I go the more repetitive things are. I'm still seeing the super easy stuff I learned my first semester. It's almost as if they think we've forgotten."

"Are there any classes you like?" Orlando chuckled.

"I love my Shakespeare class!"

"I'm surprised you haven't learned about him sooner."

"Oh, I have. Trust me. I know a lot about Shakespeare! My high school English teacher drilled it into my head! Are you a fan of his?"

"Somewhat. There are other authors that I like better. Do you have a certain book by him that you're fond of?"

"I love Much Ado About Nothing! It's so amusing. One little misconception and everyone's in a tizzy!"

"I've never read it. Maybe I'll give it a try sometime."

After Orlando's comment he and Cristina sat in silence, neither of them knew what else to say. This was only their fourth meeting so it was still awkward. They always had the mutual friend as a buffer.

Suddenly Cristina set her cup aside. She had come up with a topic they both knew well.

"So how long have you known Andrea?" Cristina asked.

"How long? Well let me think. It's been a while. Probably a little over four years." Orlando laughed. "She'd know better than I would. She was my wife's best friend."

"She talks like you guys have known each other your whole lives."

"She talks about me?" Orlando asked, with a slight bit of amusement in his voice.

"Well You know she she just" Cristina stuttered.

"No no, tell me what she says."

"She'd kill me!"

"Who said she's find out?"

Cristina looked at Orlando and couldn't help but laugh at the look on his face. He was amused over the whole situation, and Cristina was embarrassed about bringing it up.

"I can't tell you!"

"Does she like me?"

"I'm not saying!"

"I think she likes me, she wants to kiss me, she wants to love me" Orlando playfully sang. Cristina started laughing at his little dance and pretty soon they were both cracking up.

"That was a cute little dance there."

"Cute enough to get you to tell me?"

"Nope. Sorry."

"Fine. I'll get it out of you somehow. Just wait." Orlando and Cristina sat there for a few more minutes then got up to go get more coffee. "I can't believe she talks about me."

Cristina looked over at Orlando and playfully smacked his arm. "Babe get over yourself." She laughed.



Andrea was at home curled up on her couch, reading a book when her phone rang. She picked it up and stared at the caller ID trying to figure out who it was.

"Monaghan Monaghan Dom! Hmm wonder why Dom is calling me Hello?"

"Andrea?" A female voice came through on the other end.

"Yeah."

"Hi! This is Angie, Dom's fiance."

"Oh hi! I thought you sounded familiar! What's going on?"

"I have a huge, huge favor to ask you."

"Okay, shoot."

"Well, one of my bridesmaids dropped out at the last minute, and well, you're the only one I could think of to ask. So, will you please take her place?"

"Wow. I'm honored you asked me."

"I know it's really short notice."

"Sure. I'd love to. What all did you need me to do?"

"Well, could you meet me for lunch sometime this week?"

"Yeah. Actually, you can come over now if you'd like."

"Okay. I'll be over in about an hour. Thank you so much."

"No problem hon. Ill see you soon. Bye."

"Bye."

Sorry hon. I will get on it asap. I've been a bit spacey lately.

Thanks for the comments y'all!
