I woke up the next morning wanting nothing more than to go back to sleep. I was so tired, not only did we get back from the party at one but I couldn't seem to fall asleep till about four. I kept thinking about her, everything about her just seemed so interesting that I could not get her off my mind. I knew it was hopeless though, I would never see her again and so I kept trying in vain not to think of her. So many times I wanted to ask my sister about her but I thought that she would not understand and she would probably think I'm crazy. So finally with all the strength I could muster up I got out of bed and looked at the time 09:35 AM.
I brushed my teeth and started for the stairs to go down for breakfast when my phone rang so I ran back to my room. I looked at my phone, it was Tay, so early in the morning. " morning Tay, your up early" I tried to stop a yawn but failed. " morning Nikki, I'm so sorry, did nice wake you up? I know. You probably got home late from the party, I wanted to know if maybe we could grab lunch, I want to try the new place that opened up down the road?" a nice relaxed lunch would be great I thought." sure sounds great". We talked a little more and made plans to meet at the new place.
I thought that hanging out with Tay would help and that maybe I could talk to her about these feelings. I knew she would not judge, she's a good person and besides she always been there for me so she will know what to do for sure. I walked into the new lunch cafe and spotted Tay at a table in the far east corner. The new cafe looked great, the floor was wooden, the round tables were covered in white and red table cloth and the walls were decorated with fresco's of what looked like a French city collage.
I was going to do this, I was really going to tell her everyone, ok not everything maybe I would say that my sister was having this issue, no no, I will be honest. I guess I was a little scared, ok more than a little scared. She smiled as she saw me " Hey you, it's about time you got here you know how I love to eat and my tummy has been rumbling looking at this menu." Tay ate like there was no tomorrow but honestly I had no clue where all the food was going to! Taywas slim and really short, a petite thing but she was Tay, pretty as every and sweet as a flower. " I'm sorry I took so long lil Lottie, i couldn't find my converse, it was under the couch." she let out a small laugh and her perfectly straight teeth flashed at me, I didn't realize how straight they were, I must remember to tell her that, but first, Sona.
I sat down and mentally prepared myself as she read over the menu once more and looked around for the waitress. " so how was the party? Come on spill everything! Where there a lot of cute guys? Did you dance with any of them?" I tensed up as she waited for me to answer and then when I thought of Sona I blushed a little but quickly tried to cover it with a laugh. Her eyes grew big and a wide smile spread across her face, "there was someone! Tell me everything! And don't leave out details!" Ah crap, caught! How did she catch that blush anyway I thought I made like ninja.
I took a deep breath and thought about how I would say this to her. "ok I need to ask you about something, it's kind of new and different and it's never happened before and I have no idea what's going on anyway or if it even is anything. I don't even know why I'm making it such a big deal." I looked down, too scared to continue. " Hey Nikki you know you can always talk to me and you can tell me anything and clearly if it's bothering you so much it's a big deal, so come on you can tell me." She sounded so reassuring and I knew I could tell her so I got ready and started.
" Ok so the party was great and yeah there were a few cute guys but too much older than me, almost all the girls were using these really short dresses and skirts and well you know me, in my dark jeans and converse all punked out, I did kind of feel a little out of place but then I saw this girl." " Wait what? Did she say anything to you? Who is she? What did she say? I'll find her and kick her ass if she picked on you!" Tay was fearlessly looking at me waiting for me to answer but I burst out laughing at my small little friend who was ready to beat up just about anyone who caused trouble.
