Down The Line

Chapter 1

You never know who you're going to hear on the other end of the phone.

The silky smooth voice flowed out of the mouth piece making her giggle. Gabriella Montez was always getting mysterious phone calls and would always disappear of to answer them and return half an hour to and hour later, a beaming smile on her face. Everyone assumed she was on the phone to a secret boyfriend but she wasn't. She had met this extraordinary guy quite by chance, at work. Only thing was she had never met him she had only spoken to him and she couldn't really remember how it happened. All she knew six months later was she was glad it had happened because she was falling for the guy on down the telephone line.

Little did she know the guy down the line was falling for her.

Let's take up back to the fateful day it all started.

Another boring day at the office, other day answering phone calls for her boss. Fielding calls and taking messages.

That's how the phone calls started. She left the messages with her boss, she filed the calls to her bosses phone. She began to pick up details about the bosses exclusive never seen, no photographed older brother.

Soon he began calling just to speak to her and not his sister. She knew his name was Troy. She didn't know his surname because her boss had a different father to him. She didn't know what he did apart from music. He wanted to be in a band, he was in a band but they were trying to make it big. She didn't know that they already had. He kept his business life private but would listen to her and never report anything to his sister.

Though the line they formed a very strong friendship. She knew she'd probably never meet this guy meaning she would never be able to get over him. For the time being she didn't care because she didn't have her eye on anyone. Except from him and she didn't know what he looked like so all she could do was keep an ear on him.

"Hello," she murmured, from her sleep, as she picked up the phone.

"Hello Brie," smiled the voice.

"It's the middle of the night," she groaned.

"Not for me," he whispered. "Sorry."

"Don't go," she yawned.

They talked into the night until she had to get up for work and there conversation continue as she got ready, pausing while she showered and continued as she ate breakfast and walked to work. He promised to call later as she set his sister's coffee on her desk and sat behind her own desk down the hall.

She looked at the phone and smiled and then work began and later she would have him to look forward to.
