*Jeannie's Pov*

After a few hours at the museum, I bring Lana to this cute little café downtown, she seemed content to spend time with me and that makes me feel better

who wants to rot in bed all day in anyway?

"Any big plans coming for you Jeannie ?" Lana utters after sipping on her coffee

I raise my head and lock my eyes with hers "hmm I still have four more concerts to do" as I say those words, an idea comes to my mind and I unconsciously smile

"What's up ?" she asks letting out a little awkward laugh

I thought my heart was going to melt, I've never met someone with such a hard temper but such a sweet face before

I brush her hair out of her face and I swear that I could have caught her slightly blushing

"So I have an idea but I know you will most likely say no which is understandable" I tell her, unsure about how is she going to accept what I'm going to ask her

She raises an eyebrow interrogating me, so I continue and say " I'm giving a concert in five days exactly, and I know it's been a long time you haven't performed but I thought it would be great if we could sing a song together"

She fidgets with her straw and closes her eyes before meeting my determined gaze "I would be delighted to be honest !"

"Really ?" I say, surprised she directly accepted knowing the pressure she is going through at the moment.

"Well I guess I could, it's been a long time I haven't performed in front of a crowd anyway" she declares

I giggle , "the crowd won't be big uh, I'm not a Lana Del Rey"

She gently pushes my shoulder with hers and I turn my face to her , meeting once again with her captivating eyes

"You deserve a bigger audience" she explains matter of factly

I grin and look away .. " So, seeing you again in five days ?" I say

She sarcastically rolls her eyes "Ugh do I have the choice in anyway ?"

I laugh and exaggeratedly hug her "no I'm kidnapping you, you're so sweet to me !!"

She raises her head and breaks from the hug "no shut it, you are ! I'm beyond grateful for your efforts to get me out of bed actually"

I wink and casually say "no big deal"

*Lana's Pov*

After finishing our coffee Jeannie takes me back home that's when I decide telling her a funny story from last night

"Last night was terrible, the guy I hooked up with was so awkward I just wanted to be back at home already" I say laughing at the situation itself

Jeannie turns her head towards me and stop watching the road for a few seconds "wait you're seeing guys ?" she pauses then resumes, laughing "I mean that's cool for you ! And jeez what a fucked up situation"

I could've bet she didn't mean what she lastly said but I decide to brush it off and tell her about my sexual intercourse, like any good friend would.

We end up laughing about it and she pulls up in my driveway, that's when I get out of the car and wave at her

but before closing the car door , she says "thank you Lana for getting out of bed and spending the day with me, simply enjoying the modest things life can bring us together was great"

Her gaze locks with mine and I'm getting déjà vu, I blink a few time and answer briefly "You're the most welcome, drive safe and see you in five days !"

As I walk up to my gate I'm still feeling flustered

Why everything about her feels so familiar yet uncommon?

As I enter my house a familiar wave of emptiness hits me, I remove my shoes and collapse on the sofa. Why do I have to depend on the company of others to feel happy ?

Can't I just be happy alone ?

After thinking about everything and nothing all at once I grab a piece of paper then a pen and start to write what appears to be a stanza.

During those time with a lack of inspiration for songwriting, poems seem to be the only thing easy enough to write.

I don't see the time pass by when I realise it's 6 p.m I decide to clean up my house a bit and take care of myself. As I get out of the shower I hear my phone ringing

It's my little sister

I accept the call and suddenly get attacked by my sister 's voice, yelling

"ELIZABETH WOOLRIDGE GRANT ! How come I didn't know you hooked up yesterday night"

"The news travel fast I see" I scoff feeling offended that Jeannie told her about that, this is not a big deal. It's on me, I have to learn to not open up so fast

My sister cuts me off before I can add something "well yeah of course I already know about it, Jeannie and I got closer and on the top of that she had to cope with the awful details you gave her"

"what do you mean, what details ?" I answer, genuinely confused.

"maybe the positions you guys tried before he-"

My laugh turns into a coughing fit and it cuts off my sister, thanks God.

I really should not open up so fast.

"Well I won't tell Jeannie anything next time" I say

I suddenly hear someone answering me but it's not chuck

"Lanitaaa babes c'mon, don't get all shy. Your sister just asked me about you since she knew we met each other today and I couldn't avoid talking about it"

I recognise her voice, surprised I exclaim with a faint laugh "Chuck what is she doing here ? Is she drunk ?"

Gosh this girl is unstoppable

This time Chuck answers "She came by to visit me, she is obsessed I swear"

I roll my eyes as I hear them laugh on the other end of the line

"and we might have drunk some cocktails nicely prepared by my husband"

I scold them "Oh my god girls, take care ugh, I was counting on you Jason !"

We all continue to chat before my social battery runs out, I truly don't know how can Jeannie and Chuck keep up with all this socialisation thing.

because I'm having a hard time to be on the same page as everyone
