Chapter 12

Ella

Ella walked to the Starbucks in excitement. She wanted to meet likestolisten badly. She really hoped that he would be the one to push Joseph from her mind once and for all. She had spent the previous night worried about his voicemail but had decided to ignore his message. She didn’t want to get sucked back into that drama. Max could handle his business himself. She had wondered if she should tell Max about the message but things had been awkward at the apartment when they had gotten back home. She wasn’t sure what had gone on that night between them but she hoped that it had helped to fix their relationship.

She frowned as she approached the Starbucks. She wanted to meet this guy with a positive attitude and a sunny smile. She twirled around before she walked in and laughed at herself for being so excited. She looked for a guy who fit the photo and prayed that she wasn’t going to meet some guy who was balding or thirty years older than he had said.

“Goldengirl.” A man tapped her on the shoulder and she turned around to look into the warm brown eyes of a smiling handsome man.

“Likestolisten?” She grinned at him. He was even better looking than his photo and she loved that he was dressed smartly for the date.

“Yes.” He grinned back at her. “I’m so glad you aren’t a man.”

“Haha, does that happen often?” She smiled at him and he led her to the line.

“I’m not sure.” He laughed. “You’re the first person I’ve met.”

“You’re my first too.” She laughed. “You know what I mean.” She blushed at her awkward words and looked at the board to decide what she wanted to get. “By the way, I’m Ella.” She held her hand out to him.

“You mean I can’t call you Goldengirl?” He faked a frown.

“Well only if I can call you likestolisten.”

“Maybe you can call me Dr. likestolisten.”

“Ok, Doc.” She laughed and ordered a drink. “Can I have a grande mocha Frappuccino please, no whipped cream?”

“Make that two, please.” Doc spoke behind her and handed the cashier some cash. “How did you know that was my favorite drink?”

“No way.” She stared at him in amazement.

“Okay, I lied.” He grinned. “But it sounds like a great drink.”

“Oh hahaha.” She laughed.

“So tell me about you. I’m shocked that a beautiful girl like you doesn’t have a boyfriend.”

“Oh you don’t even want to know.” She rolled her eyes.

“Try me.” He touched her shoulder lightly. “I find that most people usually feel a lot better once they talk about the things that bother them.”

“But this is our first date.”

“So?”

“I don’t want to scare you off.”

“I’ll only be scared if you tell me you killed someone.” He shirked back from her. “Did you kill someone?”

“No.” She laughed and picked up her drink.

“So what’s your story, Ella Van Harkel?” He smiled at her as they took a seat and she smiled at him.

“You really want to know?”

“Yes.” He ran his
