Wrong Number

Chapter 14

~Mia~

I'm so happy!

Spencer is coming to visit me this weekend, which is tomorrow, and I can't believe he's actually coming here. I finally get to see him again.

I've only seen him once and it's been two weeks. Two weeks too long. My mind is just overwhelmed with joy.

I'm so dramatic... but seriously I'm excited.

I pull out my phone and send Zach a text to tell him.

Mia: guess what!!

I wait a few minutes and then remember what time it is. Zach's in class right now. He won't answer for awhile.

I go into the kitchen to see if mom is in there.

"Hey." I say, walking into the kitchen and seeing mom over at the sink washing dishes.

"Good morning, Mia. How did you sleep?" Mom asked.

I sat down at the table and stared out the window. "Good."

"Did you talk to that FBI cutie again?" Mom asked, grinning at me.

I started laughing and probably blushing. "Yes..."

"What did you two talk about?"

"Well, of course he was checking on me as usual and then... he asked if he could come visit me this weekend."

"What did you say?" Mom asked eagerly as she rinsed off the plate she was washing.

"Well obviously I said yes. He's flying here tonight." I said, smiling as I thought about him.

"How exciting! He's such a sweetheart. Has he been flirting with you?" Mom asked.

"Mom!"

"What? I'm just asking. Has he?"

"No. I'm pretty sure he likes me, but I don't know. I mean, he's flying here just to see me on his weekend off from work so..."

"I think he likes you." Mom said, grinning at me again.

"I don't know, mom. It's complicated. We haven't really even gotten to know each other yet." I said.

"Well, maybe you will this weekend." Mom said as she drained the water in the sink.

"I hope so." I said right as my phone dinged. It was Zach.

Zach: what?

"Is that Spencer?" Mom asked.

"No it's Zach. I was gonna tell him about Spencer coming this weekend." I say as I send him another text.

Mia: Spencer is coming to visit me this weekend!!

"What do you want for breakfast?" Mom asked.

"Cereal is fine." I say, waiting for Zach to text back.

"Oh, come on. How about some eggs?Ooh and maybe some bacon?"

"Sure, mom. I'm fine with whatever."

Zach: are you guys a thing now?

Mia: no he's just visiting me

Zach: so what are your plans then?

Mia: just hanging out and getting to know each other I guess. I don't know exactly what we're going to do

Zach: I'm sure you'll "get to know each other" really well

Mia: shut up Zach not like that

Zach: well I hope you two have fun. Let me know how it goes

Mia: I'm nervous

Zach: why?

Mia: because I like him and we've only met in person one time

Mia: and he saved my life

Zach: you'll be fine Mia. I have to go I have another class

Mia: ok

Zach: text me later

Mia: k

"Here you go." Mom said as she placed a plate of bacon and eggs in front of me on the table.

"Thanks." I said then picked up a piece of bacon and took a bite.

"I think I'll go back to classes next week." I said then took another bite.

Mom sat down at the table across from me with her plate and cup of coffee. "You think you're ready to go back?" She asked, taking a sip of her coffee.

"Mom, I have to get caught up on my work. I've already missed so much and I don't want to repeat this semester. I would like to graduate this year like I was supposed to."

"You're right. I'm just so worried about you. Especially now that you're out of the hospital."

"Well, it's not like I'm living on my own anymore. I'm here with you. And it's just college classes." I said, scooping up some eggs onto my fork and taking a bite.

"I know. You should go back, it's time." Mom said then smiled at me.

I nodded my head and smiled back at her, then we finished the rest of our breakfast in silence.
~~~~~

Ding.

I close the book I'm reading and reach for my phone sitting on the table beside me.

It's Spencer.

I smile as I read his text message.

Spencer: hey Mia! I just wanted to let you know that I'm about to get on my flight

I immediately texted him back, still smiling.

Mia: ok! I can't wait to see you

Spencer: me too :)

Mia: where are you going to sleep when your flight gets in

Spencer: I found a hotel that's fifteen minutes from your house. Is it okay if I pick you up in the morning and take you out to breakfast?

Mia: yeah I would love that

Spencer: okay great. I'll see you in the morning!

Mia: ok! Goodnight Spencer

Spencer: goodnight Mia

I turned my phone off and and laid my head back against my chair. Spencer will be here at my house tomorrow to pick me up. I finally get to see him again.

I hope something happens this weekend with us, but I still can't tell if he has feelings for me. Or maybe he's not sure and that's why he wants to hangout this weekend. I don't know.

I'm just happy I get to see him tomorrow and spend time with him.

I walked to my bedroom and crawled into bed. I knew I probably wasn't going to get much sleep, but I at least tried to get some rest.

And of course, Spencer is all I could think about all night.
