“Guess who’s going out with Trent tonight,” Celeste boasted. “This girl!”

I gave Celeste a sour look as I lied on my couch. I did not want to hear about her and Dr. Noble. He was still on my shit list for flirting with Emilio. I could care less about him. All I cared about right now was the fact that Emilio hadn’t called me since he left. He had promised he would call and he didn’t. There was only a six hour time difference between here and Ibiza. He had no excuse. 

I swear I was going to kill him. 

“Are you listening to me?” Celeste whined. “Will!”

“Celeste I don’t care about Dr. Noble,” I huffed in exasperation. 

“God – What’s your deal?” she sighed. 

“Emilio hasn’t called,” Dylan said filling her in. “He’s been a bitch for the past three days now.”

“I’m sitting right here,” I groaned. “And I’m not being a bitch. I just want to know if he’s alright.”

“He’s texted you,” Celeste retorted. “Jeez. Maybe he’s too busy to call. I mean his mother is sick, Will.”

“Don’t take his side!” I groaned. “Don’t you dare! I’m his boyfriend and I deserve more than a little text each day.”

“Someone’s cranky,” she mumbled underneath her breath. 

“I think he’s a little more than cranky,” Dylan chuckled. 

“Shut up, Dylan!” I retorted. 

“Oh,” Celeste nodded. “Oh - Ok. Jeez Will – you’re leaving tomorrow.”

“That’s a long time,” Dylan smirked.

“Shut up,” I exclaimed. “You guys are assholes I swear.”

“You want Emilio to call you? You should sext him,” Celeste suggested. “I guarantee if you sext him, he’ll call you. Plus, you’ll be less cranky after.”

“I’m not sexting Emilio,” I huffed. “What am I in high school?”

“Will, do you want Emilio to call or not?” she sighed. I glanced over at Dylan. He nodded approvingly. 

“I agree with her on this one,” Dylan laughed. 

“What is it like 9 o’clock there?” Celeste explained. “Just you know take some sexy photos of yourself and text it to him.”

“I’m not sexting Emilio,” I growled. “And I’m definitely not doing it with you guys here.”

“Fine! Whatever!” Celeste laughed maniacally. “I have to get ready to go out with Dr. Noble anyways. Hey! I have a great idea – Why don’t you come? It’ll make you forget about Emilio.”

“Celeste,” I groaned as she made eyes at Dylan and I. She knows that I did not care for Dr. Noble. I despised the guy. How would spending an evening with him make me feel any better? 

But as Celeste would have it, I ended up at the bar with the two of them and Dylan. We all ended up at some bar not too far from my house. I kept my distance from Dr. Noble and Celeste. Celeste was super annoying when she was around him. It was like she turned to a love struck high school girl. Thank god, Dylan was here with me. 

“Thanks for agreeing to take me to the airport tomorrow, Dylan,” I replied taking a sip from my glass. 

“It’s no problem,” Dylan commented. “But do you think it’s a good idea drinking the night before your flight?”
