Unlikely Pair

Chapter 7

"Okay what is it?" I asked turning off the TV to give him my full attention.

"I don't know how to say this b-" He started to say but his phone cut him off.

Pulling it out he answered it and pushed off the couch. I looked up at him, and he gave me the one minute finger before walking into my kitchen. I sat there on the couch playing with my fingers before he walked back in.

"You were saying?" I prompted.

"I've got to go." He said before turning and walking out of the door.

Well that was just peachy. I looked at the clock and saw it was 9. My parents should be home soon but I didn't care. I walked upstairs and into my room. I climbed under my covers and fell asleep.

The next morning I woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing. I looked at my the time and it was 8 in the morning. They better have a good excuse.

"Hello?" I asked picking up my phone.

"Happy one year babe! Be ready at 9 I'll be there to get you. Dress casual but bring a formal outfit and pajamas." Derek said.

"What for?"

"It's a surprise but all you need to know is its out of town and you'll be back tomorrow."

"I can't do that my parents would flip."

"Lauryn said she'd over for you now get ready. I love you and see you soon." Derek said then the line went dead.

Rolling out of bed I went towards the bathroom. Starting the shower water, I brushed my teeth and washed my face until it was hot enough. Once I was done doing that I undressed and stepped into the steaming water.

Making sure not to get my hair wet since I wouldn't have enough time to redo it. I quickly washed my body and stepped out the shower and turned it off. Walking into my room I stood in front of my closet. This was the hardest part of being a girl.

I decided on wearing a pair of shorts and a crop top. Throwing the outfit on the bed, I put on a bra and panties. In a matter of minutes I was dressed. I got a small bag and put a nice dress and some heels in there.

Running in the bathroom where I kept my toiletry bag I shoved it in the bag also. The last thing to go in was my pajamas. Glancing at the clock I saw it was 8:45. I had enough time to brush my hair and style it, putting some up into a ponytail and leaving the rest down.

I threw my bag over my shoulder and walked out of my room, carrying my phone and purse. I went down stairs and saw that parents were home but probably sleeping. I left them a note saying I was with Lauryn. Walking into the kitchen I grabbed a granola bar and sat at the dining room table to eat.

My phone buzzed and before looking at the text, I ran back upstairs to get my phone charger. On my way out of my room it buzzed again. Pulling it out I had two texts from an unknown number.

'What are you doing tomorrow?'

'If your free we should work on the projects'

It didn't take long for me to realize that Luke had some how gotten my number. I quickly texted him and asked how he got my number.

'I have my ways, but seriously are you free tomorrow?'

'No. Derek's taking me somewhere for our anniversary.'

'Where?'

'I don't know, it's a surprise.'

'Promise to text me if he gets violent again okay?'
