Call You Mine

Getting ready

I kicked off my shoes and lay in my bed staring at the ceiling. Was it too early to call him? I don't know and I don't care. I'm going to.

Ring ring
Ring ring
Ri- 'hello?'

'Hey, just me.' I said through the phone.
'Miss me already?' He chuckled. I could hear screaming and yelling in the background.
'Yes my heart was throbbing for you' I said dramatically, trying to take his mind off what his parents were doing.
He laughed slightly. 'So, what are we doing tomorrow then?'
'Not sure, we could go see a movie?' I suggested.
'Sounds good to me,' he said.

'Wil..?'
'Yeah?'
'Is this a date?'
'It is if you want it to be'
'..umm..'
'Okay, you can call it a date!'

Glad to get the awkward part over.

'See ya then.' He said, and with that he hung up.

My heart was doing a whole gymnastic routine in my chest. I put down the phone and headed over to my wardrobe. I couldn't choose what to wear.

Dress and pumps?
Dress and heels?
Sweats? No.
Jeans?

It was a hard decision, but I finally decided on some black high waisted skinny jeans, grey crop top, red high tops and a jean jacket to throw on if it got cold.

I lay the clothes out on my dresser and got changed into a long t shirt to sleep in. I lay in my bed picturing the day ahead of me. All the right scenarios played throughout my head as I drifted off to sleep.

~~ Tomorrow ~~

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. I stood up and trudged over to the phone. I read the small print on the front of the phone.

River

He was my best friend of about 7 years. He was 2 years older than me but I saw him as more of an older brother than Michael ever was. I picked up the phone and held it to my ear.

'Speak.'

'Yoo Callster got any plans for today?'

'Hate to break it to you bro,'

'Aw man I didn't know you had any friends other than me.' He said laughing.

'I'll have you know mister I have plenty of friends, and who said you were one of them?'

'OoooOOooOoo okay, okay. But seriously, who is it cus if it's Corey I can totally just mingle in.'

'Actually it's more of a da-'

'What!!' He screamed.

'Yeah there's this kid moved across the street from me. He bought me a coke and gave me a ride when it was raining so I invited him in and I guess I just kinda I don't know..'

'Aw well let me know how it goes. I haven't seen you in like forever Calla, seriously.'

I guess that was true, the last time I saw him was when he took me rollerblading about 2 weeks ago.

'I know, I know. Hey, he's not picking me up until 6, wanna come over and help me get ready? I mean, you are a guy so you can tell me what's appealing and shit.'

'I'll be there soon, see ya then!'

'Bye~' I said and hung up.

River was really such a good friend to be honest. Id be lying if I said I hadn't caught feelings for him once or twice. He was even my first kiss.

I walked over to my door and grabbed the pink housecoat hanging over the handle and slipped it over my pjs. I walked downstairs and made two bowls of cereal and poured two cups of orange juice. I sat them on the seating area of the island and checked the time.
