“Hello,” she replied huskily. “What’s your name?”“Nathan Warner,” he said. “It’s on the marquee ...utside. What’s yours?”“You can call me Paulette.”“Are you from Europe or America?”“Can’t you guess from my accent?”“No, I can’t,” he said. “I thought you were Japanese!”She laughed. “I know, because you played a Japanese song.”He was surprised.. Okay, maybe I wasn’t quite so blunt about the whole thing, but that thought was lingering at the back my head the entire time. At least I got Rachel to stop crying. We had a couple sodas, talked for about an hour or so. I was so wrapped up in conversation that I barely even noticed Mike coming over. He said he was taking off, and some crap about hoping they could stay friends. Well, I’d had just about enough of that smiling jack ass and his bullshit. I quickly stood up and got in his face,. We both were daredevils who enjoyed the adrenaline rush of speeding. ‘What’s up, pretty lady?’ I called out to her. ‘Hey! How are you doing?’ Mimi said excitedly. ‘I’m surprise to see you this early.’ ‘Baby girl, you know I’m everywhere.’ ‘Are you up for a race?’ ‘What?’ I was surprised. ‘This is not the highway.’ ‘Yeah, I know. It’ll be more interesting.’ Mimi expressed. ‘Now I can really see how good you are on the road.’ ‘You are crazy. What are the stakes?’ I asked Mimi. ‘You name it.’ Mimi. He cleared his ancient throat."Master Hubbard has asked me to talk with you, Beth..." He started."Oh no, what have I done wrong, I've tried so hard - I loves it here Mr. Groome!" Bethany's face reflected her genuine concern."Ahem, now calm yourself Beth, Master Hubbard is pleased with you, very pleased! He wants you to work elsewhere tomorrow - doing more vital work," croaked Groome's dry voice."Where, the vegetables patch, the nursery? Oh I'd like that caring for the young plants!" Bethany.
