Not Dead, Yet

Picking up her phone from the study desk, Adam dialed a number with which he was too familiar with. He didn't even have to look through the contacts list to find the number as he could recall it even in his sleep. Pressing the phone next to his ear, he waited for the call to get connected. 

A couple of rings later, the call was finally connected through and he finally got to hear the voice of his childhood best friend after so long. 

"What do you want from me now, Stella? And please don't say that you don't like the phone. I am not sending you another one." Blake spoke up as soon as the call was connected through, without waiting for the other person to even say hello.

"Hold your horses man." Adam replied, the corner of his lips curling up on their own. His words were met with silence in response as the other person went completely quiet after hearing his voice. 

"Y-You…." A couple of seconds later, he finally heard Blake's response. "How are you?"
