ALEX'S POINT OF VIEW . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . My personal phone rings and I see is Bianca. " Hey, babe. How are you? " She asks in her usual cheery voice, making me smile instantly. This girl is a ray of sunshine. " At work. As usual. " I answer, and she hums. " How’s hot - boss - ass? " " He’s actually ok. Not so unbearable anymore. We even had a conversation. " Holy f**k! What about? " She asks in an incredulous tone, and I want to tell her every detail, my tongue is itching to do so, but I can't. I have to consider that it's not only me, so I guess that it's time to spill the first lie I ever told her. " About the trip to California. " I say what came first in my mind, and I hear her scoffing. " That’s a business conversation. " She deadpans in a plain voice.
