shaking hands is the last thing
they'll do!"

As cora stood in front of me with her smirk I covered my neck with my hand with a nervous laughter.

"Yeah..about that.." I said before somebody knocked on the door again. I opened it to see Arlo outside.

"Hey, I got the pill" he said handing it to me. I quickly grabbed it and didn't let him come inside.

"Hey, how about I call you later, I kind of have company" I said nodding behind the door. He nodded a bit disappointed while I gave him my number. After closing the door I took the pill with a glass of water and sighed out in relief.

"Who was that?" Cora said with a frown on her face on the couch.

"Just a friend I met last night" I said walking over and sitting down next to her. She crossed her arms.

" a male friend?" She said teasingly. I sighed knowing I have to tell her about Ambrose.

"I did it Cora, the night you left. I told him how I felt and a part of me thought he did too"

"So what happened"

"I spent the night" I said before Cora giggled in excitement. "But when I woke up he was gone. Leaving me a freaking note saying he 'don't do relationships'. I'm not running after someone who's running away from me" I said looking down at my pants.

"That asshole! He slept with you just to sneak out before you woke up?" She said with fire in her eyes. I nodded.

"I swear I'm not the kind of girl to sleep around but it was three months ago, Arlo was the first" I said defending myself to Cora. She giggled again.

"Honey you don't have to explain yourself to me, I totally get it" she said. I smiled gently at her before relaxing on the couch.

"I just don't know what to do, I'm not in love with Ambrose but I keep having him on my mind"

"Well you didn't seem to have him too much on your mind last night" she giggled pointing at my neck again. " how about I take you out tonight?" She said.

"I got to work tonight"

"Oh don't worry about work, I'll take care of that" she said winking at me. I raised an eyebrow but she changed the subject before I got to ask.

" so how's it going with your music?" She asked. I sighed once again.

"Well, my guitar skills have been going better and I get to play a few gigs at a coffee shop, but still nothing major yet" I said.

"Hold your head high, something good is coming your way" she smiled. Oh what I've missed my friend.

A few hours later I get a text from Cora saying she's here in fifteen. I put on a peachy toned dress that fit my curves just right and let my wavy hair down for once. I put on my strapped heel before grabbing my purse and walked to the elevator. As I saw Cora's white car pulling up I opened the passenger seat and got in.
