Part I - Just Us

July 8

It's been a couple of months since my encounter with Lana.

We've been catching up and hanging out, okay more than just hanging out. But we decided that we didn't want to label it.

Lana's been busy with work lately, songwriting and recording demos.

She's always writing.

She knows what she wants and I admire that, a lot.

She's a bit bashful about her singing, which one may think isn't something you find in her books, at all. Albeit she knows she's adroit, she just needs to put herself out there, for the world to see.

It's been two weeks since I've last seen her due to our schedules being all over the place, and I miss her more than I'd like to admit.

A couple of months ago, her presence wouldn't have mattered.

But now, her absence was always felt. I've gotten used to her company.

This weekend, Lana and Chuck are hosting a pool party at their penthouse.

C: Hiii Allie you free this weekend?

A: Hey, yeah what's up?

C: POOOOOL PARTY
C: Before you flip your shit, just a couple of friends are coming

A: You know me so well
A: Sounds like fun i'm in!

C: You're sleeping over so bring everything you need, see you!!!

Chuck and I have gotten close, not as close I've been with her older sister, but we immediately clicked again like old times.

L: So Chuck invited you before I could?

A: yup
A: seems like chuck wants me there more than you do

L: That's not possible ;)
L: I was gonna tell you sooner, just got busy

A: i know just messing with you
A: can't wait to see you

L: Me too x

The rest of the week went on swiftly, I packed a duffel bag, throwing in my necessities before leaving my apartment.

Lila picked me up and we made our way to the Grants residence. We've been seeing each for a couple of months now, but I still get butterflies every time I'm anywhere near her. The warm feeling that takes over my body every time she lays her eyes on me, never gets old.

"Finally," Chuck squealed as she saw us walk through the front door.

"There's no party without us!" Lila says raising the bottle of champagne she had in her hand taking in Chuck's embrace tightly.

"Allieeeeeee," she says cheerfully before jumping over me. "You've been MIA for the past month girl"

"I knooow, but I'm all yours this weekend!" I say giving her a wink before hugging her tightly causing her to giggle.

"Throw your bags literally anywhere, no one cares, come to the kitchen Lana's making cocktails."

We placed our bags near the staircase before following Chuck into the kitchen.
