A Miami Affair

“Great,” Josh said with a big smile. “I’ll email you the details. Would 6:00 p.m. work?”

‘‘Yes, that’s fine.”

Josh disconnected the call and joined his brothers on the court. Now that Becca had agreed to accompany him to the movie premiere, his week was already looking better.

Becca tried her best not to elbow the strangers who were rudely pushing past her in the crowded sandwich café as she and Haley made their way to the table where Leanna was already seated.

“Jeez,” she huffed when they sat down. “Why is it so packed today?”

Leanna laughed. “Well, besides the fact that it’s lunchtime on a Tuesday, they’re also handing out free red-and-blue sandwiches in honor of Independence Day this week.”

“Ew,” Haley said. “That sounds disgusting. I’m afraid to even ask what’s in it.”

Leanna took a sip of green tea. “You’ll see for yourselves when they bring ours to the table. When I ordered our usual, they asked if we wanted to try the sandwiches and I agreed.”

“If you two don’t like them I can bring them to Stacy.”

“So you went from being ready to fire her to bringing her sandwiches?” Leanna asked. “I must be working at my salon too much, because last time I was in the office, Stacy wasn’t doing much work.”

Becca shrugged. “She’s growing on me. When I called the temp agency, they mentioned this job would be her last strike, and by the end of their apology I was telling them we would keep her on.”

Becca still needed to have a serious talk with the teenager about her work ethic, but she was hoping after that conversation Stacy would work harder.

“Okay, so enough about that.” Haley clasped her hands in front of her. “Are you going to tell us more about this event that Josh invited you to tonight?”

Becca knew the minute Haley asked if she wanted to meet Leanna for lunch that they would ask for details about her conversation with Josh. “Since I had a feeling you both would ask me a ton of questions, I printed out the event invitation he emailed me.”

Leanna and Haley both reviewed the sheet of paper. “Oh my God,” Leanna said. “You’re going to that exclusive movie premiere that everyone is talking about? It doesn’t even release for another few months.”

Becca nodded her head. “Yeah, and I love action movies, so it will definitely be a treat.”

“And it’s a black-tie movie premiere in the North Bay Road neighborhood?” Haley exclaimed. “I know I don’t need to remind you that only the rich and famous stay there. I can’t believe you’re going to such a high-profile event and you seem so unfazed.”
