What does she have against me

Lettie's POV

Today I am going out to lunch with Dalton's cousin, Amira. She is such an awesome chick. I told Dalton I would absolutely love to get to know her as a friend because I don't have too many friends around here. He smiled and gave me Amira's number and we decided after chatting on the phone for a few weeks that we should definitely meet up in person and have lunch together. Dalton assured me that Amira wants to get to know who I am since I am dating her big cousin and all. He knew I was nervous. I mean how can you expect me to not be nervous. Being the new female to the situation, gives her grounds to immediately not like me. But then again she doesn't know me personally. How she knows me is through Dalton and what he says about me. But Dalton hasn't said anything rude about me since he thought he wasn't good enough for me. I almost walked away that night but I knew if I did it would be the biggest mistake of my entire life. As I finish getting myself together for lunch, Dalton calls.

Phone Conversation

~Lettie~ Hey baby how are you doing?

~Dalton~ Work is hell. I would rather be with you right now... almost about to leave to meet Amira?

~Lettie~ Yup. I am finishing putting on my makeup and I am heading out the door.

~Dalton~ Well you ladies have fun. Stop by Bud's after lunch to see me so I can get a hug.

~Lettie~ Is that all I'm good for?

~Dalton~ You know that you are more than good enough for me

~Lettie~ Yay your finally seeing it now. I have to go before I'm late. I'll text you when I leave lunch okay?

~Dalton~ Sounds good beautiful. Call me if you need absolutely anything

~Lettie~ I will

I hang up the phone and leave my apartment to meet Amira. Where I am meeting her at is about a 10 minute walk from my apartment. I get to the restaurant and she isn't here yet. I don't know what is setting me off but for some reason I am having this bad vibe right now. I can't place a finger on it but something is telling me to abort mission like yesterday. If I leave and she shows up, she could tell Dalton I didn't show up. I honestly don't know what to do, so I send Amira a message....

~Lettie~ Hey girl I am at the restaurant, are you still coming?

~Amira~ Yeah girl. I lost track of time. I will be there in a few seconds.

~Lettie~ Okay sounds good. No biggie.

I put my phone inside my purse and continue to look over the menu. I'm not sure what I want to eat. But I glance up and I see Amira walking this way.

~Amira~ Hey I'm so sorry.

~Lettie~ No problem. If it wasn't for Dalton calling me I would of probably been the one who was late.

~Amira~ Does he remind you of things often?

~Lettie~ oh no nothing like that. I was zoned out about an art piece I have been commissioned to paint and lost track of time.

~Amira~ Hmmm interesting

Okay why the hell did that sound condescending towards me. I didn't say anything wrong or offended her in any way. Something tells me to record this lunch. So as I slide my phone under my napkin face down, I press record. Let's hope this doesn't back fire on me.
