When Worlds Collide

3. Dinner with the Fam

~Valerie's POV~

"Valerie don't you have any food in this place besides some rice and ramen noodles?" Sierra asked me while rummaging through my cabinets.

"I'm sure there is food in the freezer and more in the fridge."

"Yeah but you have to actually cook it! Can't you call up a restaurant and have them deliver the food to us!" She whined while plopping down on the couch.

"I could but, I'm having dinner with my dad tonight and I don't want to ruin my appetite."

"Think about your friends Val, I'm hungry and you're not feeding me anything!"

I laughed, "Sierra, it's not my job to feed you all the time."

"I feed you when you come over, so why not return the favor."

"Ok fine, I'll get you some food, happy now?"

She squealed and jumped with excitement, "A thousand times over yes! I'm happy now!"

I got up from the couch and I looked in the fridge for some leftover chicken, "Do you want potatoes or rice with your chicken?" I asked glancing back over at her

"I'll take potatoes." I grabbed the chicken and potatoes and put them on a plate and warned it up in the microwave, as I stood by and waited, Sierra came in the kitchen and sat on the counter.

"I heard through the grapevine that you have a boyfriend, is that true?" She asked wiggling her eyebrows.

"What grapevine have you been listening to, because no I don't have a boyfriend."

"That's not what Addison tells me."

"I only told her that I liked a guy, I didn't say that he was my boyfriend." I turned around to get the food out the microwave and I reached in the drawer and pulled out a fork and stuck it in the potatoes and handed the plate to Sierra.

"You know in Addison's world, when you like someone they are automatically your boyfriend." She bit in one of the potatoes and she started moaning.

"Mmhm this is soo good, can you be personal chef?"

"I feel like I already am." I said smiling. She jumped down from the counter and went back to the couch.

"When can we meet this guy, I'm dying to know what he looks like."

"Soon, I just have to figure out the right time."

"Does Nathan know about this guy?"

"No, that's why I'm still waiting on the right time." She nodded her head.

"So what's his name?" She asked curiously

"And that is where I stop answering questions."

"Aw come on Val, at least tell me the guy's name. Or what he looks like, is he tall, short what?! I'm dying to know something!"

"No that is enough, between you and Addison everyone will know who I like and what he looks like. I'm sorry, you're my homegirl and everything but I want to keep this strictly on the down low."

She pouted, "Ok fine, I won't ask anymore questions about him. But when you do decide to let us know, can I be the first to know?!"

I smiled, "Yes Sierra, you can be the first to know."

My phone buzzed in my pocket and I looked at it and it was a text from my dad;

Dad👦🏾- Are you still coming over for dinner tonight?
