Nessa's POV

"Are you inviting me at your place? " I asked unsure

She nods without hesitation.

"You're kidding right? " I asked in disbelief

"My house is near, you can take a shower there right a way. I mean, I'm not inviting you to stay the night. I-I just don't want you to get sick. " she explained

I never had the chance to respond as she pulls me inside the cab

I can't explain how I'm feeling. I'm excited, scared, and confused.

"Give me your phone. " she commanded

I handed her my phone from my waterproof bag and she typed something for a while before handing it back to me .

"I texted your Mom that you'll be having dinner at you friend's house. She's probbly worried" she explained

My blood pressure spikes up hearing her. I snached my phone at her hands quickly and read the message.

*Mom, I'm caught by the rain. I'll gonna shower and maybe have dinner at a friend's house*

"I'm so gonna be dead!! " I facepalmed

"Why?" Juno asked worriedly

"My mom knew I don't like to stay in someone's place other than home." I explained

As on queue, my phone rang with my Mother's ID caller in it.

"Shit!!" I muttered looking at my phone

I felt her hand in my leg calming me down. I got lost in her beauty as I unconsciously look at her face. For a second there, I forgot my mother was calling me.

"Mom, " I answered the phone and tried to think of a right excuse.

Shit. I never lied before, I'll be in big trouble.

"Mom, I'm sorry I forgot to text you in advance. " I added

"It's okay honey. We're you caught in the rain? " my mom worriedly asked

"Yes Mom but Don't worry about it. We're currently a few blocks away from my friends home.. I'll take a shower there." I responded biting my lower lip

"Okay Honey. Do you want me to pick you up later? And you might get a cold, so drink plenty of water please. "

"No need Mom. I can go home on my own. I hope the rain would stop soon though." I replied

"Okay then, just be safe. I'll wait for you later." she exclaimed

I was a bit flustered hearing my Mom so chill about the situation.

"Okay Mom, I will. Thankyou. "

We ended the call and a smile automatically formed on my face.

"Sorry 'bout that. I believe your mom should know. " Juno whispered in distress

"Nah. You made it easier for me. Thankyou. " I voiced out leaning my back comfortably on the seat.

The cab came to halt signaling we're at Juno's place. Wow, that's quick. I got out of the cab after Juno. I kept following her until she stopped at a two-story house. So this is where she lives. She invited me in, so I followed her inside.

Her house is just like her. Simple, yet stylish. It's mostly white with a bit of purple. It has a medium size living room which connects to the kitchen.

She grabbed my arm and leads me to the secondfloor. We entered a room, and I noticed right away that this must be her bedroom.

I stand there awkwardly trying to comprehend what I'm doing in her room.
