American Tan (Latina FanFic)

Back Home

Molly's POV:

as I was driving home after our first ever rehearsal, I couldn't stop thinking about Lana. Sure, she's one of the best singers of all time; but she's also so sweet in person, An angel almost. I decided to stop and get some sodas to enjoy some lunch with my fiancé. After I got back in my car I opened my phone, hesitant to text Lana... what if she's busy? What if I text her and she thinks I'm annoying? I'm probably overthinking it, I'll text her later.

Once I got home Steven Greeted me with a smile and a big hug. I set the sodas down on the counter as I took my shoes off, and got in the shower. Once I was out I threw on a pair of biker shorts and a random over sized t shirt. Steven had made lasagna for lunch, I didn't really have an appetite for some reason. But I still decided to eat so he wouldn't eat alone. I hadn't been on my phone since I got home, I had plugged it in when I walked in. I went over to our bedroom and grabbed it from my bedside table. As I went back to sit down and finish eating, I saw a notification that felt like heaven.

Lana <3. : Hey!! So is there anything specific you wanted to talk about ??

I smiled. Why was I feeling so anxious?

I took a deep breath and texted back.

M: Hey!! Well I was just confused about the choreography , but I suppose I'll get it eventually! Thank you though :)

I set my phone down only to realize Steven was looking right at me.

"What's going on? You seem so anxious but happy at the same time." He said.

I froze. Was it really that noticeable?..
I thought about what to say for a second and thought nothing much of it. We've been dating for a while now, he obviously can sense when something is wrong.

"Oh nothing Lana just texted me and I didn't know what to say" I said while I fidgeted with my hands.

"Okay.. well, are you done with your food? I can do the dishes while you rest. I can tell you had one hell of a day today, you look exhausted."

"Thank you love" I replied. I quickly got up and went to go lie down. I couldn't stop thinking about what she would reply with. I know I wanted to talk to her but I just didn't know what to say. A few minutes later I found myself drifting off into a deep sleep. When I woke up it was 11:42 pm. It was a Saturday and Steven wasn't home, I figured he might've gone out with his friends. I got up and went to the bathroom while I scrolled on my phone.

I saw a notification from Lana, it was from hours ago. I left her on delivered, what if she was upset?? I quickly texted back.

Lana's message read: "okay, lol. Well if you need anything let me know! Have a good rest of your day and I'll see you Monday:)."

Without hesitation, I texted back.

"Actually, do you have time to talk?" I reluctantly replied.

I instantly got a message back. "Well I'm actually on the phone with my sister. But I'm driving right now, maybe I can pick you up?? Totally up to you!"

I smiled. "Yes of course I'll send you my address!!" as I sent my address to her I got a message from Steven saying he would be staying at his friends house, they had gone to a casino a few hours away and were a bit drunk. I wouldn't be home so I didn't mind.

I replied with "that's okay love, be safe<3" .

I decided to get dressed before Lana would come get me. I threw on some leggings and a white sweatshirt. It was pretty chilly outside. A few minutes later I got a text from Lana.

Lana <3: "Hey babe I'm outside!!!

I eagerly grabbed my bag and headed outside. As I got in her truck, I noticed a smell of peach. I noticed she had a red vape with her which made me giggle a bit. She turned to look at me and said

"hm, do you want to take a puff??" she said while softly laughing.

"Oh no I don't smoke, but thank you for offering lol." Was that too rude?? I'm starting to overthink again. As I was lost in my thoughts Lana broke the awkward silence.

"Well, I just hung up on my sister, but I thought it would be nice to hangout with someone since I'm pretty lonely right now and it's a Saturday night." I was shocked.. did she want to hangout with me?? Or was it a nice gesture?

"Oh yeah tell me about it, I'm mostly alone every day all day unless I'm working." I said awkwardly.

"Do you live with someone??" She asked while taking a hit of her vape.

"Oh yeah, I actually live with my fiance!!" I said nervously.

I felt her breath stop. The radio was off so you could hear every movement we made. I got scared for a moment..

"Oh you're engaged??" She asked

"Yes.. his name is Steven! We've known each other for some years now" I said, was she upset I was engaged? Or was she just surprised?

"Oh well congratulations" she said in a dry tone.

"Oh thank you.." I said awkwardly. The mention of my engagement brought a bit of discomfort to both of us. The car ride was silent for a few minutes. She broke the silence again.

"Well we could head to my house and hangout there?? Unless you need to be home soon."

"Oh no my husband is a few hours away so I was going to spend the night alone. But your place sounds good!!"

Lana giggled. "Okay, we're almost there anyway".
