It's Complicated

Moving On

Oh boy. Chase. 

Why do you like him? It's only been one night! What about Oliver?  I scold myself.

I toss onto my side and stare at my clock.

1:27 a.m.

I need sleep. My phone lights up, making my room glow a bit. I prop myself onto my elbow and take my phone off the charger.

I got a text from Chase saying: Hey sorry for the late night text couldn't sleep. If your up wanna text? Kinda bored.

I put in the password to my iPhone and text chase back: Yeah couldn't sleep as well. Why can't you sleep?

I see the three grey dots for a moment and the text appears: I don't really know... wbu?

Thats a good question. I am thinking about him. I text: Relationships.

A moment later another text comes up: With who?

Alex stirs next to me. I get out of the warm bed and sit myself on the floor with my back to the bed.

Man, should I tell him?

I tap my foot silently and write back: About Oliver if I should move on and dive into someone new... I'm just really confused. 

And an instant he wrote back: Dive into someone new as in me?

I sigh: Yes.

Chase replies with: I vote for the 'dive into someone new' choice. LOL. Anyways I am going to let you think your options through. Meet me tomorrow at Starbucks at 5:00 for coffee?

What am I doing tomorrow anyways? I reply: Yeah sure.

He sends me a kissy face emoji and says goodnight.

I don't know what to reply with... Maybe a winky face? Kissy face back? I simply text him back: night.

I crawl back into bed next to Alex. I dream about tomorrow.

Next Day 4:30p.m.

"Gaia! Hurry! Here try this on." Alex threw a pair of jeans and a tight fitted tank top at me.

I quickly put it on and look in the mirror.

Ew.

I strip out of the clothes and put on one of Alex's white sun dresses.

I look in the mirror.

Cute. I smile.

I turn to Alex,"So? What do you think?"

"Yes! That's it! Let me curl your hair and wait! Shoes!" She went back into her closet and found a pair of white wedges.

I slip the shoes on and stand in the mirror.

"Maybe I'm a little too dressed up." I say turning in the mirror.

I check the time: 4:40.

I sigh in fustration.

I got out of the dress and put on some jean shorts and got a tank top that showed a little of my stomach.

"Man, mint green looks good on you!" Alex gapes.

"I think I want my hair in a messy bun." I say throwing it up and tying my hair down.

"Ah, these are perfect for this outfit. I haven't worn them cause I had nothing to wear with it... But I never thought of that outfit." Alex turns to me with mint green sandals. I put them on and Alex rushes me out of the door. She threw my purse at me and dragged me to the car. My purse was a small brown box type. It is simple. Alex starts the car and we got to Starbucks at 4:57.
