Faith & Trust

Chapter 2

I groaned, woke up and tried to fall back asleep but failed. I trudged to the bathroom and took a quick shower allowing my hair to air dry and I got . Curling my hair and applying makeup, because I felt fancy, I walked into my room and shook Chloe awake.

"Go away." She grumbled. I sighed and walked towards the door.

"Fine. I guess you don't want starbucks." She jumped out of her bed, but her feet got caught in her blanket and she fell on the wood floor.

"I'm going! Give me 20 minutes! I laughed and nodded, walking down the stairs and reading one of my new books. Chloe came down around 15 minutes later and look really . I smiled at her and grabbed my wallet, phone, keys, and my book. She ran to my car and I laughed.

"You look cute today." She commented. I laughed and started my car, pulling out of my driveway.

"You do too. " She smiled and looked out the window. We made small conversation for a few minutes and pulled into the starbucks parking lot. Ever since 8th grade, we've been coming here, so they know us quite well.

"The usual ladies?" I nodded and was about to hand him a twenty when Chloe slapped my hand away.

"I pay!" She yelled. I sighed and nodded as she smirked in triumph. I casually slipped the money into her back pocket and we got our drinks.

"Thank you." I smiled at her. She smiled.

"No problem. So can we talk about last night?" I nodded and my phone dinged.

Ryder: R u busy 2night?

Bella:No

Ryder: Do u wanna come over for a movie marathon?

Bella: Sure :)

Ryder: Cool is 5 okay?

Bella:Yep!

Ryder: 325 Willow ave

Bella: Gracias

Ryder: Denada

I locked my phone and saw that Chloe was on hers. She was smiling and I sipped my my drink, waiting for her to get off of it. She smiled and looked at me as she set her phone down.

"So, what was that last night?" I blushed and explained.

"Well, I finished my book, and he was reading TFiOS, so when he shouted, 'No, Gus', I knew he was up to the part when he died, so I hugged him. His friends were being mean." She nodded.

"You guys are cute and he's hot." I bit my lip and blushed deeper shades of red and smirked.

"What about you and Chris?" She blushed, just like I knew she would.

"He, um, asked me out." I squealed and hugged her.

"Did he really?" she nodded and I read her messages with him. Apparently, they were going out at 1 and then going to Ryder's for a movie marathon.

"Oh, Ryder asked me to go to that movie thing too." a smile lit up her entire face.

"Yayyy!! Double date!" I smiled and we got up, throwing our empty cups in the garbage.

"What are you going to wear? He didn't say where you were going."

"He said dress casual, but if I wanted to a little dressy." I nodded and after a minute, we were back in the driveway. I hopped out and checked the time. It was 11:30.

"Go shower and blow your hair!" She raced up the stairs singing, "I have a date, and he's really cute. I have a date, and he's really cute!"

I laughed to myself and went in the closet because she lived with me, so we shared a closet. I grabbed a bra, underwear and an outfit. I then plugged in a curling wand a grabbed her shoes, and a pair of socks. She came out of the bathroom, her hair dry and her body wrapped in a robe. I handed her the undergarments and began curling her hair. Once I was done I began her makeup, which was only mascara and eyeliner, and by the time I finished, it was 12:15. I was happy for Chloe, it's been a while since she's dated someone and Chris seemed like a nice guy...well, at least from what I know. I only met him in Burger King.
