Kidnapped by my best friend

CHAPTER 3

Currently, Michael and I were back in my apartment. He decided to just follow me home since he was coming over anyway. I then called Jade and told her about our plans.

"No"

Not this again.

"Please? For me?" I begged

"I'm not sitting through an hour of terrible flirting because of that agbaya you call a cousin for you"

"Well technically, it will be like two but-"

"Technically... I don't need that information since I won't be coming"

Damn...She's brutal.

"Come on. Please?"

"Please put myself through all that hassle? Not on your life"

"Michael will be there"

"Perfect. He can tell me all about the train wreck later. That is, if Chelsea doesn't get him first" she said snickering

"What do I have to do to get you to come?" I said. I was seriously tired at this point.

"Replace your cousin with something that doesn't revolt me? Face it, Ella. Nothing you say will make me come. Not one thi-"

"My mother will be cooking"

She paused.

"My shift is over by five. I'll be there by six"

She immediately hung up.

Food is always the way to my friends' hearts

I put down my phone and turned to Michael.

"She'll be here by six" I announced triumphantly while jumping up and down. I hadn't seen her in a while so I was really happy

He sighed then rolled his eyes at my childish antics.

"Where's she been? I've barely seen her these past 2 weeks"

" She started working at that new seafood place"

" You mean The sea and I?"

"Yeah. She wasn't happy that the first time we were finally going to meet up in a while was at my parent's house but I told her my mum was cooking and she was sold but don't tell her I promised you the first slice of my pineapple surprise cake"

" Pineapple surprise? That's what you promised me? What is the surprise?"

" I won't tell"

" That sounds both delicious and dangerous. Remember the last you made something saying that one of the ingredients was a surprise? I couldn't get the sardine taste out of my mouth! Who puts sardines in a pie?!"

" The sardines were for flavour and I didn't know they would taste that bad"

" You are evil"

We both started laughing. This is why I love this guy. We could both laugh over the silliest things.

"When did she say she was coming again?"

"She'll be here. Don't worry"

"It's already 6:38. Let's just head to the car"

I glanced at the clock. It was already quite late.

Sighing, I picked up my keys and we both headed to the door.

"Don't worry. Maybe she'll meet us there?" he said as he opened the door
