MIA

"Congratulate me," Isla said when I picked up the phone.

"Congrats babe," I said. "What exactly am I congratulating you for?"

"I had tea with my mom and didn't kill her," Isla said.

"I should high five you."

"Shut up. What are you doing?"

"Taking a bath."

"Mind if I join?"

"It's an ice bath," I said.

"Never mind then."

I laughed. "Tell me more about tea with your mom." I sunk deeper into my ice bath so the water was up to my shoulders.

"So one a month ever since I came out my mom has been taking me to tea to see if I'm still set on being a lesbian," Isla said.

I nodded even though she couldn't see me.

"So I ended up blackmailing her with the fact that she's cheating on my dad."

I quickly sat up. "What?!"

"So she's letting me Will move back into the house. And you're allowed to come over whenever, I have no curfew and you can sleep over."

"You blackmailed your mom?" I asked in disbelief.

"Mia," she said. "This is the same woman who kicked me out. The one who called my sexual orientation a sin when she's cheating on my dad. I may be agnostic but I recall that 'You shall not commit adultery' is on the Ten Commandments. 'You shall not like someone of the same sex' is not."

"True," I said, stepping out of my almost melted ice bath.

"Hey are you free on Saturday?" Isla asked.

"Yeah why?" I asked.

"Me and Will move back in on Saturday," she said. "I want you to meet my family."

I laughed, then I realized Isla wasn't laughing. "Oh you're serious?"

"Well I was until you started laughing at me."

"Okay I'll meet them. I'll even help you start packing. I'll be over in like an hour."

"Okay, bye."

I hung up and quickly dressed in some sweats and a crop top. I grabbed my stuff and headed back out on the field to Chad.

"Hey," I said, texting Isla. "I'm heading over to Isla's house so do you want me to drop you off or you wanna come with?"

"While the girl on girl action is tempting I think I'll pass," he said. "Plus I don't think Isla likes me very much."

I shrugged. "I'll drop you off at my house and we can have a sleepover when I get home."

"Fine with me," he said, getting up.

I dropped Chad off and headed to Isla's apartment.

Will answered the door.

I walked in. The guys were sitting on the couch watching a replay of their last soccer game.

"Hey guys," I said.

"Isla's in her room," Will said.

"I was trying to make conversation thank you very much," I replied.

The guys laughed.

"Hey Mia," O'Connor said, laughing.

"Hello O'Connor how are you?" I sent Will a glare that said see conversation.

"Good you?"

"Great thank you." I turned on my heel. "And now I'm going to Isla's room."

"Bye," the guys chorused.

I pushed open Isla's door. There was taped boxes packed in a corner. Bea and Beth were there helping Isla.

I greeted Isla with a deep kiss.

"Hey guys," I said to Bea and Beth.

They waved.

"Where did you need me?"

By Midnight we had finished packing all of Isla's stuff, excluding her clothes for the next few days and other stuff she would need in her last few days in the apartment.

Isla and I were laying on her bed staring up at the ceiling.

"I have an idea," Isla announced.

I turned to her, "what is it?"

Bea and Beth had just left a few minutes ago so I knew that if they were included Isla would have said something earlier.

"On Friday night, you should sleep over," she said.

"Why?"

"Because by then everything will be packed in the car," she said, "and Will's going to work and I don't think I be all alone in the apartment when it's so bare."

I agreed. "Fine I'll sleep over."

She rolled over and kissed my cheek. "Thanks."

I smiled. "That's what girlfriends are for."

Isla took my hand and brought it to her lips.

"You have to get home," she said, her breath on the back of my hand.

"Nah," I replied. "My mom loves you. She won't mind."

"But I would, you need to sleep. And I need to help Will pack."

"It's way past midnight. Are you sure he's awake?"

"Will has insomnia remember?"

"Okay fine I'll go." I gave her a kiss before letting myself out of the apartment.
