The Quiet Sister✔️

26. Date Night

Ugh! Why was Drew so hot as hell?

She really liked Ronan, and now she was interested in talking to another guy. What was wrong with her?

But she told Ronan she was not ready for a relationship, so it was not like he was her boyfriend. They were already two months into school, what was wrong with having another friend that was a guy?

"Girl Drew is a hottie," Tori said to her.

"I know!"

"So is Ronan."

"I know! And sweet. And a great kisser."

"Gone 'head girl, be a player. Ain't nothing wrong, ain't nothing wrong."

She was hanging out at the Kingdom Mall with Tori as they ate lunch on her break. She still was the only girlfriend she had. It was hard to make friends with girls when they looked at her and were instantly jealous. Of her? Little old Nola Kelly?

Tori was different. She had a good feeling about it.

"I'm trying to find at least one guy interested in me and you have hella."

Sure she did, especially if she thought of Brendan. She had not heard from him since finishing the case, just as she wanted. Hopefully, he would move on and see if he could make a relationship with Gina. He deserved to have someone in his life that cared for him...long as she was not going to continue to be a stalker.

If things worked with them, it would make a great book. I fell in love with my stalker.

"My last two relationships...my only two relationships, I think they messed me up from anyone else," Nola stated, tossing around her salad. "Perez was a cheater cheater pumpkin eater, Tone, fell for me and I could not return those feelings. I don't want to do any of that to the next guy."

"Tone fly as hell, girllll, whyyyy would you give that man up?"

Now she sounded like her sister Tennille.

"Looks aren't the only thing. I just never looked at him like that. He was there when I needed, him and gave me what I wanted at the time."

"Then just go out with the Drew guy and see how you feel. It's called dating. You go on dates."

That was true. So after she left Tori she went home and returned Drew's text that she ignored.

Are you free?

Sure what's up?

Want to go to a movie with me?

Sure. Send me the details and we can meet up

She found a movie she wanted to see and texted him the time and place. She changed into something cute and refreshed her makeup. She felt pretty today, so at least that would give her a confidence boost.

She drove to the movie plex and parked. As she was walking to the building, she received a text from Ronan.

Her heart fluttered seeing his text.

I miss you

Damn, while she was out on a date with another guy. What was wrong with her?

She convinced herself this was fine, going on a date with another guy was fine. This is what girls her age did. She went inside, having already ordered both their tickets online. Since she was the one asking for the date, she felt it was only right.

Drew showed up a bit late for her liking. She liked to see the previews and they were starting now, and they had not made it in yet.

"Want popcorn or something?" he asked her. "Since you bought the tickets, I will spend all my money on this high-end popcorn for you."
