Drop everything now

Okay, I'll admit it.

This is hard as hell. Staring at her staring at me, waiting for me to talk.

-Alright, so. Yeah. If I'm honest, this is gonna take time. You just left, Kar. You told me you couldn't be my friend anymore, grabbed your things and left. Because your boyfriend asked you to. I thought that was a toxic thing coming from him. After all, it got better. So now, it's gonna take time. But you hurt me so much. I really thought you were my best friend. I loved you so much. -I finished my drink. Yeah. That fast. It only took one short conversation with Karlie Kloss to suddenly feel like doing some tequila shots.

-It's okay. I understand. I still do.

I didn't know if she meant she still understood or she still loved me.

-But, for now. I would love to catch up with my best friend over some drinks and seafood, if you don't mind.

-Yeah.-She looked at the ground.- I'll get going, it's okay. Take care.

-Oh my god, Karlie, you're so nervous tonight- I couldn't help but giggle.- I was talking about you, silly.

-Really? -Her eyes sparkled with the yellow light.

-Only if you'd take me.

-That's for sure. Let me get the waitress and order something else for us.

-God, I missed this. -I said a little lower while looking and my drink and playing with my straw.

-I missed you, Tay. So much. - she looked so genuinely happy. How could I not forgive that little puppy? I felt my cheeks flush at the thought, so I just looked at her and gave her my most precious smile.

-So. What have you been up to? I kind of missed a lot. Didn't I?

-To be honest? Yes. I finished my tour. Everything's great so far. Currently working on a new piece. I'm so excited!! It's actually a very important shift I'm making right now on my career. - I winked at her- So, there's that. Oh my. We forgot to order. Could you?

-Sure. Be back in a sec.

She got up and, once again I was empty. I didn't now how I could be doing this twice. Feeling like this, twice. After all these years, it was still there. My little crush on my best friend that left me because of her boyfriend. Don't think she noticed, though. Her boyfriend? Definitely thought our relationship was weird because if he didn't, he wouldn't have done that.

She went to the bar and placed our orders. She still knew me so well, she came back with two margaritas.

-The food might take a while. They just closed the kitchen. But they'd do anything for me and my best friend. - Yep. She was clapping in excitement like a little kid. Again, being the cutest thing ever. Her red lipstick left a trail on her straw and I was just staring at it now. I nodded slightly and smiled again. It was so easy to be out of words when it came to talking to her. So she took the lead in the conversation, didn't even need me to ask.- Well, for me, I've been investing in my Koding programs as well as the Kookies, of course. Been traveling a lot. As always.

-How's Josh?
-Straight to the point, huh? -We might just get that out of the way, she spoke again.- He's okay? I guess. I don't know. He's definitely there, in my life. Okay, I guess. Yeah. He's fine.

Did you hear that? It was my heart dropping.

-Oh.

That's all I could say.

-But I talked to him though. We got that out of the way, a couple of weeks ago, actually. And I just ran into you and I couldn't miss the chance. I told him I could do whatever I wanted with my life and he had no place to tell me who to hang out with or not.

-I really did.

-What?

-Miss you. I really missed you.

The waitress came again with a seafood charcuterie board that had every single thing we loved. It was time for wine. We knew it.

-And some white wine. Please. The best one you have. Thank you very much. -I said to her.

-So, genre shift, huh?

-How did you know?

-Please.- her mouth was full but she still laughed a little bit even with her eyes. - I got it. And I know you. Tell me more about it.

-Mhm. I'll think about it. -I pretended to think while placing my hand down and putting my chin on it. - Well, let's say it's not what a lot of people expect from me. But it is what I want. For real. I'm in a little bit of a writer's block, though. I have the ideas but I can't write about it.

-Then, how do you know it's right?

-I feel it. When you feel it, it means you just have to do it or either way you'll get crazy. I need the change. For good.

-So it was good I left. For you. For a change. You were kind of stuck with me, to be honest. -She made it look like a joke but she was actually thinking about it.

-Don't say that ever again. You know what I'm talking about. I don't want you out of my life ever again. You're stuck with me, KK.
