Addicting (A Yoandri Cabrera Fanfic)

chapter twenty.

**** Cassie's POV - Friday ****

It was finally Friday, the day I had been anticipating all week long. I didn't want to call it my date night, but whenever Emily and Xoch mentioned it, it's always my "date," even if they were going too and so were the CNCO boys.

"Does my eyeliner look okay?" I ask Xoch and Emily while they were busy fixing themselves up too. Emily was straightening her hair while Xoch couldn't decide on which shoes to wear.

"Yeah it looks even," Emily says tilting her head to get a good view of my face without burning herself with the straightener.

Yoandri had called me early in the morning, telling me that he was sending Giovanni, his chauffeur, to pick us up to take us to his "mystery location." It was killing me not knowing where we were going, I was insanely curious to find out, but I guess he wanted to keep it a surprise 'till the end.

We were finishing up getting ready, we had about half an hour before Giovanni was supposedly going to arrive, so we were all frantically going around putting on the final swipe of lip gloss, or a quick pop of setting powder, or making sure our hair was right. Giovanni was set to pick us up between 5:30 and 6, so we had to make sure we were ready by whatever time he decided to show up.

"Are you excited?" Emily asked as she finished straightening her final strand of hair.

"I still don't believe this is all happening," I tell her, giggling a bit because everything that had happened to me in the past week felt like a dream. It was almost as if I was back in high school and this was all just another one of the dreams I had back when I had first found out about Yoandri. I honestly I couldn't believe that I was going on a date, with Yoandri out of all people, when I hadn't been on dates before.

Somewhere, buried under clothes and accessories, a phone rings. It's mine. I start throwing clothes around to find my phone. I find it, and I don't recognize the phone number, but I pick it up anyways.

"Hello?" I answer?

"Miss Cassandra? It's Giovanni, Yoandri's chauffeur."

"Oh, yeah, hi there," I say.

"Hi, I was just checking up to confirm that everything was okay for me to pick you and your friends up, and if you would send a text with the address to pick you up"

"Yeah, we're all going to be ready by whenever you get here, and I'll send the text right now, but do you think you could tell me where we're going? You know, to make sure we're dressed appropriately..." I say, anxious to find out.

"I was instructed to not say, but if I should be of any help, make sure you'll be comfortable with what you're wearing because it will be a bit breezy and chilly where we're headed." He hints to us.

"Alright, that helps, thanks, we'll see you in a bit!" I hung up and sent him the text, and immediately I was inspecting the girls for appropriate attire. But why did he say chilly and breezy?

"Better take a jacket, dress warm, because I still have no idea what we're doing," I announced to Xoch and Emily. I told him what Giovanni told me and we all hoped we were dressed well.

There really wasn't much to do to what we were wearing. I had ended up distracted on my phone for a bit, and before no time, the doorbell rang, letting us know that Giovanni had arrived. We all scurried around making sure we were ready, and we headed to the door. Giovanni greeted us, and led us to the car, and opened the door for us as we all piled into the back of the car. We started talking about nonsense, being friendly and talking to Gio about the things he's been doing, and I started to notice that the drive was getting long, I started to recognize we were heading out to the nicer area to the west of Los Angeles, and before we knew, we were on the Pacific Coast Highway, riding along the coastline of Malibu. Giovanni pulls up into the driveway of a beautiful beach house practically sitting on the coastline that looked so trendy and glamorous. Xoch, Emily and I creep out of the house, almost as if we didn't want to touch or break anything since it all looked extremely expensive.

We walked to the door carefully, all three of us still in shock at the beautiful house. I could hear a faint, almost familiar sound of boisterous laughter coming from inside. There we stood, at the front door, the light from inside shining through the glass of the front door. This was definitely real.
