Unexpected

4.

Jessica woke up on Saturday morning with a text from Connor asking if she had any plans today.

She replied saying that she did have plans. That was true, she had plans with Annie. Jessica hasn't told her about meeting Connor yet. She was going to tell her about him today, she will tell her everything, as always. They don't hang out that often but that's because Jessica doesn't really want to. She loves Annie but she prefers to be alone most of the time. When they do hang out together though, they catch up on things they missed while texting each other throughout multiple days. Their plans today include going in the hot tub and watching movies. There's a party today that she will most likely go to, Jessica will most likely not go to. There's a lot of differences between Annie and Jessica but the biggest one is probably the fact that Annie parties and Jessica doesn't want anything to do with them.

Jessica gets out of bed and walks to her bathroom. She decides that it would be a good idea to get ready for the day now because she won't be able to go back to sleep anyways.

When she gets out of the shower, she sees that she has another text from Connor, now asking if she was free tonight.

She smiles at the text and replies with: Why, do you have any good plans?

He replied with: Yes actually, a few. And you can pick what one.

Ask me again later and maybe I'll say yes to one of them;).

...

Jessica is in the kitchen when the door opened. She wondered if it was her dad.

"Oo!! Are you making food? Can you make me some? I'm starving." It's not her dad, it's Annie. Jessica and Annie exchanged house keys so they don't have to knock every time they want to come over.

"Yeah, I'm making food. I guess I'll make you some." Jessica stuck her tongue out at her best friend.

Annie and Jessica are very comfortable with each other. They change in front of each other and go to the bathroom in front of each other. They figured they have been best friends for so long that they shouldn't care about all that stuff, so they don't.

"Can you bring me my food when you come to the hot tub, please?" Annie says as she is stripping down to her bathing suit while walking to the enclosed back patio.

"Yeah, I'm bringing mine there too. I get to pick what we watch though since I'm cooking AND serving you."

"Alright, good deal. See ya soon babe." Annie winks at Jessica and she just smiles and shakes her head.

Jessica has a few minutes before the food she is making for both herself and Annie is done. As she waits for the food, she goes upstairs to find a bathing suit to change into so she can join her friend in the hot tub.

She got downstairs as soon as the timer for the food went off. She was just in her bathing suit so she was kind of scared to take the food out. She doesn't want to get burned. I will have oven-mits on so what is the big deal? It is not like I am going to hold the tray of food between my hand and side. She wonders why she's being paranoid and she shakes her head at herself.

Jessica successfully takes the food out of the oven without burning herself. She takes the food to her best friend and sets down her food too.

"Do you know why you are my best friend?" Annie asks Jessica.

"Because I make food for you and let you use my hot tub?"
