Love in a friendship

Chapter 2 - Cat blip

Your POV:

He was gone so I decided to walk towards the meat section, and whilst admiring the prices for the chicken, you had someone tap on your shoulder. 

"Hey, I'm Sawyer, Joey's mate, and was wondering if he could have your number?" Sawyer grinned

"Ermm....sure" I stuttered trying to act cool

Does this mean Joey wants to ask me out? Or does he want to hang out? Will I ever hear from him? All these questions are running through your head, whilst you are writting down your number on a small piece of paper that Sawyer had handed to you. 

"Thanks, see you around" Sawyer nodded, when I had written your number on the piece of paper

Joey's POV:

Sawyer came back with a small piece of paper in his hands, after I had finished paying for both of our shopping. 

"Got her number" Sawyer grinned whilst passing me the small piece of paper

"OK. You owe me for your shopping" I replied whilst putting the piece of paper into my back pocket.

We filled up the trunk of the car, and Sawyer dropped me off at home with Brittany, who was filming in her room.

Before I could pack away, there was a knock at the door, and I was expecting it to be Sawyer, saying I had left something in his car again. I opened the door and Cat was standing there, with a frown on her face. 

"Hey, what's up?" I tried to smile sympatheically, whilst she barged through the door and stood in the small kitchen

"I've tried contacting you all afternoon, and you haven't answered. I thought you were dead!" She whimpered, whilst covering a face with her hands

"I just went to the movies with Sawyer and then went to Wholefoods, to get some food"  I said whilst trying to put my arms around her slumped shoulders. 

"Get off me!" She said jumping out of my arms, and turning bright red with anger

"Woah, calm down. What have I done wrong?"

"Nothing. Just let me know where you are next time" She huffed, whilst shaking her head and instantly leaving the flat

"Bye then" I whispered under my breath

This is the fifth time that she has wanted to know where I am this month, and got angry that I haven't told her where I am alwys going, Does she think I am going to cheat on her?!  I rested my head on the kitchen worktop, and took in deep breathes, trying to releave myself from the stress that Cat was giving me. 

"Everything ok?" I heard Brittany ask, from the door of her bedroom

"Yeah, you know, just another blip with Cat" I shrugged

"That's like the one hundredth one" Brittany giggled, trying to make me smile

"Yeah, you're right. I need to get out and get my mind of her. Want to come out with me tonight?"

"Sorry, I'm busy editing a new video, maybe another time?" She smiled sympathetically. 

I grabbed out my phone and contacted nearly all my friends on my contact list, and every answer I got was that they were too busy. I attempted to throw my phone onto the kitchen worktop, and missed, and it fell to the floor. When I bent down to pick it up, I saw the small piece of paper that had the number of (........) written across it. Should I call her, I only met her today? 

I stared at the number for what felt like hours, contemplating on whether to call them.

"Fuck it" I thought and began typing in the number
