I woke up in an amazing mood

I woke up in an amazing mood. For the first time in months I dreamt. No nightmares. No cold sweats. No increased heart rate.

Just a peaceful dream of the bluest eyes.

I'm currently downstairs in front of the coffee maker waiting patiently for the heavenly liquid to brew. Deciding to pour myself a bowl of cereal while I wait, I reach into the pantry and grab my favorite... Captain Crunch. I skip over to the refrigerator and grab the milk out as well as a bowl and spoon out of the cabinet and drawer. I pour the sugary cereal into the bowl and drench it with milk before putting the ingredients away and turning to claim my usual spot at the kitchen island.

I pick up my spoon and savor every last bite of my very unhealthy breakfast before getting up and placing my dishes in the sink. I'm still waiting for the coffee to finish brewing when flashbacks from last night fill my thoughts. I hardly get to see my best friends as much as I'd like to, we're all so busy all the time. My eyes widen as a brilliant idea comes to mind. I reach for my phone that's sitting on the counter next to the coffee maker and flip through my messages until I find the chat I'm looking for and type out my idea before hitting send.


Group Message with Nat and Wanda

Me

Brilliant idea! Club tonight? It's been too long!


I know they're both awake so I stare at the chat until they respond, seeing as I have nothing better to do while I wait on the worlds slowest coffee machine. Less than a minute later, I get a response from both of them. Predictable.


Nat

Uh, I thought you'd NEVER ask. Count me in!

Wanda

GIRLS NIGHT!


I smirk. We always have the best time together. I'm about to reply when Nat sends another text.


Nat

You should give James a call and invite him and Steve 😏


I freeze and stare at the screen blankly. How do I respond to that? Surely I can't just call him and invite him to the club. We just met last night. That would be weird.

Right?


Me

Nat, I don't know... wouldn't that be weird?


I reply after a few minutes of debating with myself. They both respond within a couple seconds.


Wanda

I say go for it. It's no secret he was checking you out last night. I bet even dad saw it 😉
