Will She Be Like This Forever?

Chapter 68

I'm trying hard to trust you

When you say give me your hand

Baby, I'm falling

I hope you catch me when I land

Friday 17th June 2022

A little (big) date.

I can't tell you how excited I was for today- it's my first proper full day with Mapi and I'm taking her on a date. She's always been the one taking me on dates because it's always been in Barcelona and I've had no idea where to go, so this is special for me.

It was 7am and I pounded on Lucy and Keira's door. (Yes, I apologised to Lucy. No, I haven't seen the therapist since.)

"Fuck man. It's 7am. What do you want." Lucy giggled and I ran past her, sitting on the bed next to Keira. "What the fuck do I wear? Where the fuck do I go? What the fuck do we do?" I panicked, making Keira roll over and take me in her arms. "Calmmmmm." She laughed. "I can't be calm, Kei. I don't know what to doooo." I dragged and we both sat up together, looking at Lucy who was walking back over to us. She sat next to me, so I was in the middle of them and put her arm around me.

"I say... are you going to Liverpool, Manchester or Birmingham?" She asked and I shrugged. "Where would you say?" I questioned and both girls said Manchester. "But won't more people be in Manchester? I get it's like... got more shops, but Liverpool is smaller than Manny." I whispered and they both looked at each other. "Nah. I still say Manchester. There are places you won't be seen if you truly don't want to. What do you want to do? Dinner? Day out?" Keira asked and I shrugged. "Just... be with her." I whispered and they both chuckled.

"I say, knowing Mapi, and knowing you, maybeeee go to gay village, then maybe Arndale to do some shopping, thennn the cathedral for like a cute little... I don't know but Mapi loves architecture. The botanical gardens are a good shout too." Lucy spoke and I wrote all of this down in my notes, making both of the girls smile.

We then looked at places to go for lunch and dinner on my laptop and put them in my phone too. Just as we were finished, Lucy got a call from Alexia, telling me to go out of the room. I took my laptop back to my own room (that I was now allowed back in with Es.) and jumped in the shower. I put on some music and calmed myself down a little before a very big day ahead.

I came out and saw Lucy on my bed. "Oh my god. You fucking scared me." I laughed. "So... say you're going to all the places we said, what are you wearing?" She asked and I shrugged. "I say... your blue jeans and a nice top and pack a fancy outfit for dinner." She smiled and I nodded, going over to my drawer as my phone rang. "Answer it Luce."

Mapi🌹

Hola mi amorrrr.

Hey baby.

Lucy made a really gross face, joking obviously.

Lucy is here by the way.

Loudspeaker?

Do you want me to take you off loudspeaker?

Just for ONE second.

Okay okay.

Lucy handed me my phone and I took her off loudspeaker, still stood naked in my room.
