Chapter 11:

Nicole
 

"Hello, fancy pants."

It can't be. How can she be...

"Zoey?" I questioned.

"Wow. That was quick." She mutters sarcastically.

It's definitely her.

"Zoey? My God. " My smile instantly brightened as realisation set in.

"Good to know you've not completely forgotten who I am."

"Of course not. What are you saying?"

"Hmm hmmm," She responded. "

"Oh my.. how are you?" How have you been? How's your life? "

"I'm good. And I don't need to ask, you are definitely good from the sounds of it.

I chuckled, then stopped for a second to think, "Wait, how did you get my number?"

"Sam."

"Sam?"

"Yes. My husband and I ran into him at a wine store..." And that's when I heard my bestie was back. I didn't even know you guys were back together. "

"We are not...wait. Husband?"

"Yea."

"What? Oh my.. congrats Zee. "

"Thanks, You are seven years late. I still expect my present though." She adds, and I nod, laughing even though she can't see me.

"It's so good to hear from you. "

"Really?"

"Of course."

"Cause I wasn't sure. You left without a word and now you're back and you didn't even call. "

I sighed, "I am sorry, Zoey. It's a long story. "

"One that I hope you'll have time this weekend to talk about?"

"Yes...absolutely. Oh wait..this weekend? "

"Yes. Won't work for you? "

"No, it's not that. It's just that this weekend, Mia... it's Mia's baby shower this Saturday. How would you like to attend? "

"Really? You are inviting me? "

"Of course. Everyone will be thrilled to see you after so long. Especially me. "

"Ok then."

"You remember the house, yes?"

"Girl.. please, I visited there more than I did anywhere else back in the day."

"Great. I'll see you then. " I smiled happily.
