He Loves me, He Loves me not

Chapter 5

The next morning I woke up with a pounding headache. I took an advil and showered and then got dressed and got into the car. Today I was going to find a hotel to stay at until I figured out what my next move was going to be.

I couldn't impose on Stasi and Ev because it didn't feel right to me, even though they would have had no problem with me staying. I found a nice hotel near my apartment. I spent the rest of the day hanging up the few clothes I packed, and putting away personal items.

At times like these I thank my lucky starts for my job at LACE because without it, I couldnt afforded this nice ass suite. I spent $5,000 on this room for one week because I planned to be out of here in a week's time.

After unpacking everything, I remembered that I was suppose to call August to set up this meeting thing for him and Stasia. I took my iPhone and scrolled through my contacts to find his number. The phone rang twice and he picked up.

August: "Yeah"

Me: "Hey, it's Simone"

August: "Oh, wassup beautiful, Im glad you actually called."

I smiled to myself a little.

Me: "Yeah, well I was calling to tell you, that Ima take you up on your offer."

August: "...What offer?"

Me: "To catch up."

August: "Oh right, so what did you have in mind?"

Me: "I was thinking that if you weren't busy on Monday, that maybe we could meet up and talk."

August: "Yeah no prob. You had somewhere in mind or nah?"

Me: "There's a Cafe on Bay Street, Meet me there at 2 o'clock."

August: "Ight, see you then beautiful."

After hanging up with August, I caught myself smiling. I immediately changed my facial expression. Wtf was wrong with me? My best friend likes him, nothing he says to me should be making me smile. I spent the rest of the day getting settled into my temporary home. I ended the day by watching movies until I fell asleep.

MONDAY- SIMONE'S P.O.V

I woke up today feeling hella anxious. I don't even fucking know why im nervous, it wasn't like it was a date, Plus Stasi was going to be there, so that calmed my nerves a little. I got out of the bed to go start my daily routine when my phone rang. I glanced at the caller I.D. to see that Stasi was calling me. Most likely she just wanted to tell me how excited she was for the meeting today.

Me:"Hello?"

Stasia:"Hey girl."

Me:"Wassup? why you callin me so early in the morning??

Stasia"I have some bad news.."

ME:"Bad news?? What is it?"

I frowned, waiting for her to speak.

STASIA:"My mom got these tickets to her favorite talk show again, and I promised her if she got 2 pairs, that I would go with her. I know it's last minute, but she just srung it on me 20 minutes ago. And then when I tried telling her I had plans for today, she started telling me how she was trying to make up for lost time and shit, basically trying to make me feel bad."

I sighed.

 ME:"I understand. But what do you want me to about August? Do you want me to cancel?"

STASIA:"NO! dont cancel, you can still go it's okay."

Me:"Are you sure??"

STASIA:"Yeah girl, this is a perfect time for you to talk to him and find out things so you can tell me."
