Monday morning my phone rang bright and early. I picked up on the second ring, it was Elle, finally.
"Hey you! I was beginning to think that you were dead or something." I was only half joking, Things had been too quiet without Elle and I had missed her more in the last few days than I would have liked to admit
"Ya sorry about that, I sort of went MIA for a few days"
Just from the tone of her voice, I could tell she was blushing, it made me smile.
"Sort of MIA..."
She sighed.
"Okay, I went totally MIA, but you can't pick on me, you would have done the same in my position!" she huffed.
I paused for a moment, pretending to think about what I would have done if I were in her shoes.
"Ya, most likely!" I chuckled.
She giggled. God, how I had missed that sound in the last few days, I closed my eyes, taking that sweet sound in.
"Totally"
We laughed
"Anyways, it's a good thing you called. I wanted to invite you to go to the amusement park on Friday." I was trying to change the subject. I know a true best friend would have asked details about her time with Matt, but the truth was I didn't want to know. "There is a whole bunch of us going and I know just how much you love going on rides so I thought you might want to join us. Are you in?"
Elle was the type of girl who would pretend to be a thrill seeker when really we all knew that she was a big chicken, so I could not wait to see how she was going to try to get out of that one.
There was a moment of silence as she was probably considering her options. Putting on a brave face for now or admitting her fears right away, avoiding embarrassment later when time came to go on a ride.
"Ah well, I'll have to see, I think I have something to do this weekend, I'm not sure..." her voice trailed off. She was trying to buy time to come up with a good excuse.
"Ah come one, you don't want to miss this, those guys are a riot, it's gonna be a blast!"
I could hear the fear in her voice
"I'll see what I can do"
"Elle are you scared of going on the rides or something?" I teased.
"No, not me, I love going on rides!" Denial, denial, denial! I did not buy that for a second as I could hear the tremble in her voice!
"Come on be honest!" She was going to crack eventually.
"I swear I love them." She sounded like she was trying to convince herself and she was failing miserably.
"Then you'll come?"
She hesitated and sighed.
"Sure why not!" I could not believe she actually said yes.
"Great, I'll see you then!"
"See you!" she said with fake enthusiasm.
******************
When I picked her up on Friday morning, she looked like she had seen a ghost. Although she was dressed for a day at the park, shorts, a cute t-shirts and runners, but her face said something else entirely. It also seemed like she was getting her wisdom teeth pulled out that day.
