Madison

The girls were assembled on the biggest desk in the room, relaxed and sipping their coffee. It was still early enough in the morning that no one was quite motivated to start working, and they used this time to catch up with one another.

Chase was coming in later that day, and Madison enjoyed the fact that it was only the girls. Ruby had decided to drink a strange tea concoction her grandmother had made her, promising the effects of vitality and luck as her pregnancy continued. They were two weeks away from the launch, and Madison’s anxiety was running its course. Mr. Leung had promised her samples at tomorrow’s meeting, and she could hardly contain herself.

“I think you’re having a boy. I can sense these things.” Elise stirred her coffee, gaze remaining softly at Ruby’s tiny belly. Ruby could still hide her pregnancy easily, but she was never one to shy away from anything. Her pink bodysuit and black tights made it apparent she was expecting. Ruby chose to celebrate the way her life had gone, and Madison felt such fondness for her wild friend. She was sure Ruby would stay forever a bohemian at heart and still be a great mom.

“Nah, I think it’s a girl. My mom always cursed me about that, saying a girl would give me the same trouble I gave her. She’s already sent me a million books on parenting, but I know she’s happy for me.” Ruby absently rubbed her belly as she spoke.

“What’s been going on with Derek? I thought I saw his shoes at the entranceway last night, but I didn’t see them this morning.” Madison had a keen sense of what was going on, but she didn’t want to make Ruby feel pressured. She and Derek had spent a few nights together over the years, but it might not be as serious as Madison hoped for her.

“He’s around. I think he wants more than what we are, but I can’t make that choice yet. Even if I lose him,” Ruby admitted.

“Be sure to listen to your intuition. I don’t want you to make a decision based on fear. Both of you girls are stronger than you think, and you don’t need a man to sweep you off your feet. A nice sexy man definitely helps, but he’s not always the solution. A good man’s just the sprinkles on your already fabulous cupcake.” Elise loved baking and often used metaphors for explaining her deepest thoughts on life. Surprisingly, they always made sense.

“I’ll figure it out. Thanks, gals.” Ruby sipped her elixir and turned towards Madison.

“So enlighten us on what happened at the photo shoot? It sounds like a made-up story to me,” Ruby said with a smirk. It was embarrassing, and Madison was fully on board with redoing the shoot as soon as she procured the new samples. She was even looking forward to the alone time with Chase, although that meant she’d have to face whatever spark had developed between them.

“I already told you about the street thug.
