Midnight x F.P.

Anastasia POV

Friday Noon.

I was waiting for Hailee at the restaurant she had texted me about called "Bestia". Apparently it's an Italian restaurant, and I have never heard of this place.

I love Italian though, so I am not complaining. I'm just slightly concerned that she thinks it's a date. I was scrolling through twitter when I got a text and laughed when I saw it was from Florence.

Flo 🥵

Flo 🥵:
Please don't be mad

Me:
What happened?

Flo 🥵:
...
I have tequila ❤️

Me:
Florence,
what happened?

Flo 🥵:
I may or may not have slipped up
and told Scarlett that you are Paul's daughter

Me:
??

Flo 🥵:
I didn't tell her your real name though

Me:
It's fine Florence,
I trust that you trust her so it's fine

Flo 🥵:
You aren't mad?

Me:
No I am not

Flo 🥵:
So no death?

Me:
Maybe,
let me decide during this lunch

Flo 🥵:
Where'd you meet her?

Me:
Well I'm here,
she's not yet.
But uh Bestia?

Flo 🥵:
Oh wow.
So you're on the phone while waiting for your date 😉

Me:
No I'm in the car
waiting for this dinner
that is not a date 🙄

Flo 🥵:
Hm sure 😂

Me:
Florence Rose Pugh

Flo 🥹:
Anastasia Wren Bettany

Me:
How's my house?

Flo 🥹:
Lizzie gave us the tour, since you failed to do so
Oh and what's in that one room?

Me:
Oh my apologies little miss princess 😏
and uh I'll tell you later

Flo 🥹:
Okay
Stop texting me and go enjoy the non date date
and don't call me little miss princess 😠

Me:
Please don't destroy my house,
no snooping in that room either
and I will if I want to 😉

Flo 🥹:
No promises,
I invited the guys over.
I mean it Stasi stop 🙁

Me:
Okay okay, fine.
I have to go.
She's finally here

Flo 🥹:
Okay
love you Bettany

Me:
Yeah yeah,
love you too Pugh

I close my phone and put it in my pocket, I get out of my car and lock it before walking over towards where Hailee is.

"Oh hey, there you are", Hailee says with a smile and I smile back friendly. "So just your average lunch date", she jokes and I laugh.

"A non date", I say and she laughs. "A non date, friend date", she says and we both laugh as we walk to the front of the restaurant.

"Don't worry, paparazzi rarely comes to this restaurant. It's not really a celeb hang out spot", she says and I nod.
