"Sleepovers"
It's finally Sunday, my first day off this wonderful week. Today I'm supposed to meet Georgia and Eleanor. Axel is off running errands so it's just Beau and me.
He keeps to himself most of the time and that's okay. We don't have a connection like Axe and I do. As I'm getting ready for the day my phone alerts me that I have a message.
'It's almost time.' Another message from my mother. The messages are so weird. Almost time for what? I didn't end up telling Madz that she's been messaging me.
Madz seemed off last night. He wasn't mean or upset with me, he just seemed a little sad. I didn't ask him what was wrong because I can tell he didn't want to talk about it.
"Beau, I'm about to walk to the diner and meet up with the girls. Are you ready to go?" He gives me a thumbs up and we lock up the doors.
We walk to the diner and it's a super nice day. The leaves are turning red and yellow and there is a chill in the air. I love this time of year. I dislike summer because it is way too hot.
As we near the restaurant I start to feel like someone is watching me. I look around and I don't see anyone but that doesn't mean anything after what happened to me.
"Beau, do you see anyone around? I feel like I'm being watched." That gets him to stop and look around. I see his hand reach towards his gun and I let out a gasp.
"Beau, I don't think you need that. It's daylight. I don't think anyone is going to attack us right now. I just felt like someone was around." I let out in a whisper.
"You never know. Walk in front of me until we get to Tess's. Then I'll sit in a booth on my own. I have my own work to do on my laptop anyways." I nod my head and we get going again.
We get in front of Tess's diner and I can see the girls waiting for me inside. Eleanor spots me first and she starts to wave at me with a wide smile. She comes running to the door.
"Hi Nova! Hey, are you ready to have lunch with us? Tess has the best chicken nuggets. She also has really good chocolate milk. Do you like chocolate milk?" She runs through questions at super speed.
Georgia chuckles at her and grabs Eleanor's shoulder. "Sweetheart, slow down. Tess just got here and you are asking so many questions at once. Give her a minute to settle."
"Well okay." Eleanor huffs and starts heading towards a booth.
"That's her special spot. She is out of the sunlight and can still see out of the window." Georgia tells me. "We've been coming here since she was a baby so I think she knows her way around her just as well as Tess.
We all fit inside the booth with Eleanor making me sit with her. Tess comes up with the menus and places them on the table. "Well look at this. All my favorite ladies at one table."
