It's been many years since Luara Santos first listened to The Weeknd's songs and grew to become one of his fans. When her best friend since childhood, Makayla, surprises her with tickets to his concert, she jumps at the chance to go.
When the day s...
I cut up a few pieces of tomato before picking up the cutting board and sliding the cut up pieces into the salad bowl with the rest of the vegetables I sliced up earlier. I add a few sauces for flavour and mix it all up, scooping some out and serving it in a bowl. I grab a spoon and walking into my living room, plopping down on the sofa and turning on the tv, switching on Gossip Girl. I love this show.
I look down at my phone beside to see once again, no notifications of messages or missed calls. I've been waiting for Abel to call all day but I haven't gotten anything from him yet. He's probably working, I know how busy he can get. After I finish up my salad, I take it back into the kitchen and wash up my dishes before checking the time to see it's 4:30pm, leaving me with an hour and a half to start getting ready for tonight.
Tyrique and I agreed to meet up at our old spot, a small beach situated just outside London. We've been getting together there ever since school and this wouldn't be a real catch up session if we didn't meet up over there.
I walk over to my room before picking out an outfit and laying it out on bed, ready for me to wear after I'm out the shower. I quickly hop in and scrub my body with my mango scented body wash and make sure not to get my hair wet since I had braids in. Once I'm done scrubbing and washing, I'm out the shower, leaving me with an hour for makeup. I dry myself off and lather myself in my mango body lotion before slipping my outfit on and starting my makeup.
In about 45 mins, I'm finished getting ready, leaving me with just enough time to post another Instagram picture. I open the app to see one notification that catches my eye.

I open his profile and like his most recent post before leaving a little comment. I open up the camera in the app and pose.

I post the picture once I'm happy with the out come and a few notifications of likes and comments come through before I exit the app and text Tyrique my address which he asked for earlier. While I'm waiting for him to arrive, I spritz some perfume onto myself and sort a few things like lipstick and lip liner into my purse when I hear a buzzing from the intercom in the hallway. I shrug my purse onto my shoulder and walk out of my room, pressing the receiver button.
"Miss Santos, there's a man down here saying he's here to see you? His name is Tyrique,"
"That's fine Bobby, you can send him up, thank you,"
"No problem miss,"
The line cuts off and I walk over to my heels by the door and put them on, cursing when it doesn't strap in for the fifth time. By the time I finally get them on, a small knock sounds on my door and I grab purse before walking over and pulling the door open. A 6'1 Tyrique smiles back at me with a bouquet of tulips in his hand, my favourite flower.
