Valentina
Micah and Natalia had blown my phone up with phone calls and messages by the time I got home.
Micah: ARE YOU CRAZY?! WTF!
Natalia: I thought you were smarter than this, Val. Shame on you.
Valentina: He said he would change, but I am keeping my guards up.
Micah: Don't come crying to me if he does it again.
Valentina: I told him if he fucks up again, he won't ever see me again.
Micah: Val... You're smarter than this. Are you coming back to work?
Valentina: Yeah, he said he wants me back but on the bright side, I can see you :)
Micah: Yeah yeah. Stop getting off of the topic.
Valentina: Talk tomorrow, okay?
Micah: Yep. Bye, Val.
I knew they would be angry, but this is Danny's last opportunity to show me how he's "changed". I hope he's right, but he could cheat on me at any point.
*** The next morning: Working with Danny again felt extremely weird.
"Glad you're back."
"Same, Katy."
"Has Tom reached out to you at all?"
"I blocked his number."
"Good, so did I. He doesn't deserve either one of us."
"No, he does not."
"Just be careful with Danny, okay?"
"I'm keeping my guards up 100%. I refuse to let him hurt me again."
"Well, your twenty fifth birthday is tomorrow. Any plans?"
"No, why?"
Katy smiled. "Good, Micah and I have something planned."
Micah raised her eyebrows. "We do?"
"Yes!"
"Babe, can we talk?"
I looked up and saw Danny leaning against my desk. "Umm sure."
Micah scowled at Danny as I followed him towards his office. "What's up?"
"I want to plan something for you tomorrow night."
"Micah and Katy are doing something."
"You'd rather spend time with your friends rather than me?"
"It's only going to be for a couple of hours."
"Well, I will have a surprise for you at home."
"Home?"
Danny smirked. "You'll see."
"Umm alright."
Smiling, he quickly kissed my forehead. "Get back to work, babe."
"Have a good day."
"Likewise."
After I left Danny's office, Micah was looking at me. "What did he want?"
"He has some surprise for me tomorrow I guess."
"It better not interfere with our time." Katy said, scowling.
"Not at all. I made it clear with him."
"Good!"
I still loved Danny, but I deep down agreed with my friends. What if he slips up?
