me: hello, it's dakota black here. i've been thinking about that job offer we talked about, i've come to a decision and i'd like to take the position.
thank you for your time
dakota.

i pressed the send button and let out a breathe i didn't even realize i was holding back. i threw my phone beside me on the big bed, while staring at a blank point on the ceiling.

the doorbell rang and i quickly walked downstairs. i looked through the peephole and there it was lana standing outside.

i opened the door and didn't even wait to go and hug her. "i've missed you so much!" she said while hugging me tight.

"so have i, i miss your annoying ass!" i replied, pulling away and walking in, holding the door for lana to walk in too, then locking the door again.

she left her bag on the coffee table and sat on the couch. "how's it going?!" she asked enthusiastically. i sat on the other end of the couch. "how are you and diego?"

"uhh... we're good. we've been good lately. you really were right, he's a great guy and i don't regret saying yes." i shrugged. i really don't, but that doesn't means i don't miss skies. "anyways, i guess i didn't tell you..." she raised her eyebrows.

"didn't tell me what?"

"so, skies' manager called me to her office, and she asked me to be the tour photographer." lana's eyes widened and she leaned her body forward.

"you're kidding me!"

"i wish. i actually just sent her a text saying i'll take the job." her eyes got even wider when she heard what i said. her mouth dropped and her face now had a surprised samble.

"oh my God! did you and diego talk about it?!" i nod.

"we did. he didn't take it well on the first four days, or i don't know. the things were weird between us. he told me that he just hated the fact that when i feel down the one that'll be around me will be skies and that he won't be able to hold me anymore." lana nodded to my words, showing she was paying attention. "but he also said he knew that would help me with my photography career and it would be good for me. he then said he would be okay with it if i take the job."

"kota, he's such a good person. i'm so happy to see you happy."

"yeah... thanks." i scratched the back of my head. me and lana haven't talked since i moved in with diego — which it's been 2 months already. we would sometimes text each other, but we never really got to talk about stuff like this. "how's things between you and landon?" also, lana and landon started dating a few weeks ago. they made it official and i'm happy for them. they always seemed to be the perfect couple, ever since day one.
