years!  My brother is actually in the band with him!”
    “Oh, I see.  That’s great your brother and your boyfriend are so close.” Maggie stated quite quietly.
    “What?!” Samantha questioned just as the music started and the crowd began to cheer.
     
    The second the show was over , Maggie could not get out of her seat any faster.  She faintly heard Samantha calling towards her, but it was mostly muffled by the crowd that was still cheering for the band that had just done their encore.  As Maggie quickly turned back towards the stage, she caught the eye of Caleb who wasn’t basking in the adoration of the crowd, but rather watching her with puzzlement as she fled.
     
     
     
     
     
     

Chapter Nine
     
    Maggie dreaded the quick passing of days that led her up to Friday this week.  As she sat in the back kitchen area of her shop, she rested her head on her arms, only allowing her eyes to peak out to see the clock on the wall that told her she had ten minutes before she had to be on her way so as to not be late.  Maggie’s internal questioning had been going nonstop since Tuesday night.  Why had the fact that Samantha was with Caleb upset her so much?  She barely knew him!  This only frustrated her more knowing deep down that it meant she felt more for him and had more invested than she herself had even realized at first.  But what would she say to him when she saw him?  She could lie, she could make up a phoney excuse about why she had to leave, but ultimately she didn’t know if she could face him in the first place. 
     
    The buzzer of the delivery door blared through the empty kitchen, echoing, scaring Maggie out of her trance.  Reaching the door, she opened it only to reveal Taylor standing there with a smile on her face.  “Yay! I caught you.  Awesome.  Are you ready to go?”
    Maggie stared at her blankly and only replied with a questioning “what?”  She hadn’t seen Taylor since her birthday, with her playing roadie for Alder.
    “To c lass, Mag.  The school called and apparently they misplaced the cheque we gave them for your lessons, so I’m playing delivery person.  Plus,” she added in a hushed tone, “I get to see this hot instructor of yours!” she finished with a giggle.
    Maggie just groaned to herself, knowing that whatever escape route she would have been able to think up just got foiled.
     
    Small talk filled the air as the two friends walked towards the school’s entrance, but Maggie’s mind was as far away from the conversation as it could possibly be.  Maggie was back to dreading dance class and she desired anything above being there.  Meeting Samantha, seeing what a sweet girl she was just made it worse.  Was she just imagining that Caleb was nervous asking her to see his band play?  She didn’t think so, but a guy with a girlfriend...it made her question.  Even with this dread, she knew there was no way she could avoid class, especially now that Taylor was dropping her off.  Hell, she felt like a five year old on her first day of kindergarten. 
     
    After stopping briefly to hand over the cheque, Taylor and Maggie headed in to the studio she had become quite familiar with.  As they entered, Caleb was already there, standing in front of the stereo shirtless.
    “Damn him.” Maggie cursed under her breath, praying that that didn’t come out loudly as it caused Caleb to spin around to face her.
    “Hey,” he greeted her happily, but with caution, “are you okay? I saw you leave quickly after the show and wasn’t sure why.”
    Maggie could see Taylor in the corner of her eye shooting her a questionable glare.
    “Yeah, sorry about that, I just...”
    “I needed her.” Taylor rushed out, jumping in.
    Really paying her notice for the first time, Caleb turned to Taylor and extended his hand.  “Caleb” he introduced.
    “Taylor” she replied, taking his hand.  “I’m Maggie’s friend and one-third of the reason you get to see her lovely face
