POV
Millie
The text from Nick pulls me out of my depressed state and into a curious one. I text him back
Hey
I sit up with the blanket still wrapped around me and Steph is now texting on her phone too.
My phone dings again and I turn it on silent so Steph doesn't badger me about who I'm texting.
Nick: I have to go to Santa Barbara tomorrow, so I won't be in. You can either take the day off or make the office look less boring.
Me: hmm I think I'll decorate the office, hope you don't mind pink everywhere for your last week.
Nick: the way I feel about pink is the way you feel about black coffee
I giggle causing Steph to raise an eyebrow at me and then looks back to her phone. Steph probably thinks I'm crazy given my intense emotions.
I text Nick back,
Me: oh come on it's not that bad
Nick: it's worse than bad, Em
Me: you clearly have awful taste...
I actually don't care for pink but it's fun to mess around with him.
Steph stands up, "Uh hey I have to run to my car real quick, I'll be right back." She says sounding off.
"Okay do you want me to go with you, it's dark out," I say.
"No," she says way too quickly and walks out.
Okay...we're clearly both crazy right now..
I get another text from Nick,
Nick: hey, hey I do not
Me: okay sure...so what do you have to do in Santa Barbara tomorrow?
Nick: just signing new documents for the transfer, you can come tag along if you want.
Oh how badly I want to say yes to that.
Me: I have an office to redecorate remember?
Nick: lame
Me: sorry, shouldn't have left it so boring looking.
Nick: yeah, yeah. See you Friday Em
Me: see you Friday
Ugh, this guy. This guy needs to transfer like yesterday..he's going to make me do things I'll regret I just know it.
Steph walks into the room looking like she's just been crying.
"Steph! What's wrong?" I ask frantically.
"What? Nothing. I'm just getting my period soon so I'm emotional." She plays off.
"Emotional about what?" I investigate.
"I saw a homeless man digging through garbage.." she says.
Um..okay..it's LA, there are homeless people everywhere and yes it's very sad but since when does Steph cry over it? She's so used to it, I'm not going to push it though because she's pMSing and I cry about a lot less sad things when I'm PMSing than a homeless man.
"Okay..yeah that's pretty sad," I empathize.
"I'm gonna go to bed, it's been a long day and I'm tired, love you Mills," Steph says as she walks to her designated bedroom.
What the hell is going on?
