Alani Ramirez is a 22 year old graduate from UCLA. She has her first job out of college as the athletic trainer for the Los Angeles Dodgers. She has the dream job, and she even finds the dream boy which happens to be a Dodger player, but which one?
It has been about two weeks since Corey and I kissed, and he has been sort of distant. Maybe I shouldn't have listened to Layla's advice because I miss how close we were before that. I've been hanging out with Joc a lot lately and today we have the day off so he decided on taking me to lunch.
I was so used to driving myself around everywhere so I insisted on picking him up, but he refused to let me, so he will pick me up at noon. It was only 10:00 right now so I figured I could start getting ready. I took my beats pill speaker to my bathroom and put my shower "get ready playlist" and the first song that played was "My PYT" -Wale, and I instantly laughed to myself because that was Joc's walkup song. (I SWEAR I PUT PANDORA ON TO SEE WHAT SONGS USUALLY PLAY ON MY PLAYLIST AND DADDY #2'S SONG WAS THE FIRST). I was out of the shower in a matter of minutes and walked to the kitchen in my towel. I started making my coffee and I heard the doorbell ring.
"LAYLA! IS SOMEONE HERE FOR YOU? I yelled because I was practically naked and she probably invited company over. I heard her run down the hall and as soon as she walked through, I knew she wasn't expecting company because she had a nest on her head and her giraffe onesie on.
"Noooo. Lani answer it please." she said hiding behind the couch.
"NOO. You, I'm naked! I said hiding behind the couch. Layla is a stubborn girl and I knew right away that she wasn't going to open it. So I walk to the door and see the back of someone's head. I had to be one of the boys because whoever it was had a dodger hat on. So I slowly opened the door while hiding behind it and it was Corey.
"Corey. Hey what are you doing here?" I said opening the door more.
"Oh I'm sorry did I come at the wrong time?" he said trying not to look at me.
"No, it's fine. Just come in and go ahead and make yourself at home. I just need to put some type of clothes on." I said laughing as I allowed him to walk in. He walked in and went to the living room and I gave him the remote so he could watch something while I was getting dressed. I looked behind the couch and noticed Layla was gone.
I then excused myself from him to allow myself to get dressed. I slipped on my ripped jeans and threw on my black tank top. I was brushing out my crazy long hair and yelled for Corey to come in my room. It took him a while to try and follow where my voice was coming from but he eventually found me.
"You can sit on my bed if you'd like, make yourself comfortable." I said as I was sitting at my vanity starting to braid my hair.
"Thanks, sorry for just dropping by like this, I didn't think about texting or calling you first." he said as he was looking at his hands.
"It's fine! You're always welcomed here." I said as I turned around to face him. "So what's up? Everything okay?" I asked because I really didn't know why he did stop by, not that I don't mind it's just unusual.
"I just wanted to come by and apologize for kissing you the other week. I shouldn't have done it." he said looking sad. I was shocked. I thought there could've been something there. I didn't know what to say, but I couldn't tell him I felt because he obviously doesn't feel the same way.
"Oh, umm yeah it's ok. We can just forget about it, like it never happened." I said as I put on a fake smile.
"I'm glad you understand. Well I'll let you get back to whatever you have going on today." he said as he went to give me a hug.
"Thanks for stopping by." I said as I held all my emotions contained in me. I walked him out to the door and watched as he walked to his car. In a way, I just got rejected before things even getting far. Ouch.
I got back to my vanity and noticed that it was already 11:00 and I didn't even have my makeup done. I looked at myself in the mirror and I wondered why things can never work out for me. I then got out of my feelings and turn my speaker back on and "Too good" by Drake was blasting throughout my room. My music was on, my hair was poppin, and now it was time to beat my face. I am about to look bomb as fuck and post on snapchat all day.
I was about done with my makeup when I heard the doorbell ring. I ran down stair to the door and it was Joc.

(Lani's makeup.) "Hey! Come in, let me just grab my shoes and my phone, go ahead and sit if you want." I said as I ran back up the stair. I grabbed my lavender colored heels, my phone off the charger, and my purse of the bed.
"Layla! I'm leaving. Don't forget to feed your ugly dog!" I shouted loud enough for her to hear me. I made it to the bottom of the steps to Joc laughing at me.
"What are you laughing at Peter?" I said laughing back at him because his facial expression changed as soon as I said that.
"You look good though. You actually clean up pretty good." he said with a smirk.
"Damn right I do, haha just kidding. So do you Pederson." I said looking at him up and down.
We then made our way out to Joc's black Bmw. He walked around to the passenger's door along with me and he opened the door for me like a gentleman. I thanked him and continued to get into his car. He walked around the car and got in on his side.
"Where are we even going? We never discussed this." he said laughing.
"Surprise me." I said as I grabbed his Aux cord. We were driving around in LA and my song came on. "Best Friend" by young thug. (MY FUKEN SONG!) I was singing it loud as hell and noticed we were at a red light so I was dancing and everything to it. I looked at Joc and noticed he was recording me so I turned to him and started to sing it to him. "That's my best friend, that's my best friend, flexing' Big ol' booty bitch misses from Texas, what's next is I'm gon' skeet off, lil nigga come catch me, catch me And that's my bestie, my bestie, my best friend, go best friend. (Listen to it while reading that part so it's not confusing.) He was busting up at me and posted it on snapchat. We ended up arriving to Daily Dose Cafe in Downtown LA. It was so cute are artsy and their food looks so good.
We got our table and sat across from each other. Joc and I are the coolest best friends in the game because we are constantly laughing when around each other. I pulled my phone out and opened up snapchat.
"Joc. Smile, I want it to be a cute picture." but little did he know, I had the filter that makes you have a huge forehead. He really did smile all cute and everything for me and I couldn't keep a straight face and ended up laughing so much.
"What did you do?" he asked trying to take my phone from me. I quickly tried to push the send button to put it on my story and sure enough I got it before he could take it and delete it.
Our brunch consisted of stuff like that and we even talked about the Corey situation. Joc knew that we kissed because I had told him the day after. Joc also told me that Corey keeps to himself a lot and he thinks it's because he's lonely, maybe from a past relationship or something. If he was lonely why would he push me away though.
We also talked about the surprise party we were going to throw for Kiké next week. We are going to meet up with Marina in a couple of days to get everything before Friday night. All we had so far was all the alcohol but it's in the boy's house and it seems to be disappearing. Boys will be boys, but we are so excited for Friday.
