Was it meant to be? (a Mingus Reedus love story)

chapter twenty-three

It was about an hour after I texted Mingus and me and Mayzie were looking for something for me to wear tonight to my little "date". I didn't know what to wear but I lwas letting Mayzie pick it out. She kept pulling out dresses then turning to me to see if I liked it. I like them but I didn't like wearing dresses. Mayzie smiled at me and said "Do you want to wear a dress? You need to tell me what you want." I nodded and said "I don't know what I want to wear. You know I don't like wearing dresses. So I think that choice is out." She smiled and said "Thank you. Do you want to wear something chill and laidback or something that says 'I'm here for a date but also here to party' I laughed and punched her on the arm and said "Really? chill and laidback." she laughed and said "Alright here." She handed me a white tank top with graffi on the front and the writing said "i'm here to party." I threw the shirt back at her laughing an said "Come on Mayzie" she started laughing an said "Honestly I think you should wear a dress." I smiled and said "Ok, you're better at this stuff than I am." she smiled and then took out a mini dark purple dress and handed it to me. I looked at it, I really liked then she handed me black vans shoes. She said "You like?" I smiled and said "Yeah, i'm not wearing make up and how should i do my hair?" Mayzie smiled and said "Side braid or curl it. It would look perfect either way with that dress. Your hair and eyes go perfect with it." I have Brown hair and green eyes. I decided on curling my hair.

I was done curling my hair when i heard my phone buzz I picked my phone up. It was my mom she was calling me (M-Mom R-Racheal)

M- Are you two ok?

R-Yeah mom, we're fine. Sorry I didn't call or anything.

M-It's fine, I didn't call earlier. Anthony texted me telling me that he had you two.

R-That's good so how have you been?

M-Good Ellie and Dylan miss you. I do too and I haven't seen your father since you left.

R-Oh, well we've been having fun. Well it's only been two days but ya know. haha

M-Yeah, does Anthony have a nice place?

R-Oh yeah, it's amazing here!

M- That's cool. Maybe in the summer me and you can come back up and stay with him. Have you done your homework?

Me and Mayzie both did homeschooling online. I did so much better with it, I couldn't concentrate in school with other students.

R-Yeah, I didn't understand one question but Mayzie helped me.

M-As long as your doing your work.

R- I am mom *laughs*

M- OK well I have to go. Call me if you need anybody to talk to. or if you want to come home. ANYTHING call me.

R- OK Bye, mom love you

M- Bye love you too.

I got on my dress and walked out into Anthony's living room. Anthony was sitting on the couch and he looked up and said "Dang! You look really pretty rach" I laughed and said "Alright that was just a little creepy." he said "Oh come on, eeww don't take it the wrong way it was just a compliment." I laughed and then said "Where's Mayzie?" he pointed at the door and said "She said she was going out to walk around." I said "Oh, did she say where she was going?" Anthony said "No but she told me to tell you to call her when you came out, so you should go do that." I smiled and said "Alright" and I started dialing mayzies number. (M-Mayzie R-Racheal)

R- Hey where ya at?

M-Can't tell you but I can give you the address.

R- Why can't you tell me?

M- Well if i tell you just don't tell Anthony

I was really starting to freak out. Where was she at.

R-Alright come on Mayzie i'm getting impatient and worried where the hell are you?

M-I'm at Zachary Quinto's apartment. He's best friends with my dad. He played Spock in Star Trek and well ya know my dad played Cap. Kirk

R-Whoa that's cool. I think Zachary Quinto is hot *laughs*

M-WOW RACHEAL I HAVE YOU ON SPEAKER.

I heard a man laugh in the background and i started blushing. It had to be him.

R- Wow that's a bit embarassing
