Just Between Us

Chapter 43

Stefani's POV

"Get upppppp," Rachel was practically harassing me in my death bed with the way she was jerking me side to side.

"Where was this energy yesterday?" I shoved her off of me.

"This was before your lunch date," she justified as if that wasn't enough to piss me off.

"It's not a date!" I roared and took my shower.

"Fine fine fine, your little get together," she brushed me off completely.

I didn't want to dress up, I felt like shit. But not shitty enough to put on a pair of basketball shorts and an over sized T-shirt.

Fucking lunatic.

A simple white T-shirt, ripped jeans and some Jordan 1's is never a wrong look.

Unknown: hey, where are we meeting again for lunch?

Me: Jesus, I didn't save your number, what's your name? I don't think you've told me

Unknown: Veronica🥰

Me: that solves one problem

Veronica: what's the other one???

Me: I flew in from NY a few days ago.. idky I even bothered offering lunch when I don't know where jack shit is....

Veronica: girl I- sounds like I'll be picking you up🥰 drop the addy

I rolled my eyes and sent her my address and tossed my phone.

This is beyond me and I'm not sure what to feel. I feel hopeful that this is a great opportunity to make a friend but I don't know... maybe I shouldn't be caught up in Lillian too much.

She's literally engaged to my dad.

It was just dinner, I shouldn't be caught up with high hopes that I actually have a shot with that woman to begin with.

I'll just see where things end up with me and Veronica- as friends for crying out loud.

Romance is so draining.

"I see a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee parking in front of our dorms, go get her boooo!" Rachel cheered me on as I went for my wallet.

Jesus Veronica waste no time.

"Rachel fuck off, go find someone for you to annoy while I let someone else annoy me for the day," I brushed her off but she literally skips to her bed and swan dives into the bed sheets.

The sound of knocking averts my attention from one annoying event to the next.

"Hey," I greeted Veronica.

"Is that your car parked out there?!" She was amazed and I looked over her shoulder unbothered by the shine my car gave.

"Mmmmmm," I reached for my keys and pressed a button for the lights to flicker and the car to beep.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure," I shrugged it off and stepped outside.

"Well your majesty, your chariot awaits," she leads me to her well black polished Jeep.

"I actually like your vehicle better," I buckled my seatbelt and took my time to study the interior.

"With a car like yours?! Are you crazy??" Veronica looks at me as if I've lost my mind as she puts the keys to the ignition.

"You have room for a dog..." I sighed and she took a glance at me.

Yes I want a dog.

No, I won't do anything about it...
