Mena's POV
I felt my phone ring as I got out of the car, "Hey man, you ready for today?"
"Ready for what? Your game you mean?"
"Ahhh yes but not only that. Today is the day."
"The day as in you're asking Nasim?"
"Yup, and I need both you and Nay to be there and be square."
Chuckling into the phone I went top open the door. "Alright, we'll be there. What time?"
"Five ish so the girls can go off and talk while I tell you my plan."
"A plan?" I smiled at Naomi who was in the kitchen as I came in. "Alright see you then, man." Quickly I hung up and placed the grocery bags on the counter.
"What's this about a plan?" She asked as she unpacked the groceries.
"Ahh its nothing just guy stuff with Will. Which reminds me, we gotta be there at 5pm sharp."
"5pm? I thought the game started at 5:30."
"It does."
"So why are we getting there half an hour early?"
I let out a breath as I turned back to her and grabbed her by the waist. "Do you trust me?"
"Well more so when you do that."
"Okay, so just be ready to leave at 4:30." Naomi sighed and gave me a peck.
"You're lucky you're cute. I'll be ready."
"So, are you hungry?"
"I'm always hungry love bug."
"Right, what I mean is do you wanna eat now?"
"Depends, what are you making?"
"Noodles."
"Yes please!"
"Alright," I hung my jacket on the coat rack and began making a late lunch as Naomi finished doing some school work. I could tell she was focused because she didn't look up one bit. Walking over to her I placed the bowl right beside her. "Everything alright there?"
She sighed, "Yeah I just can't get these harmonies right that's all."
"Take a break Nay, you've been staring at that program for hours."
"I know but I've recorded the same thing 80 times and it still doesn't sound right. This has to be perfect Mena. More so now that I'm not there to actually present it."
"And it will be perfect, you just have to take a break and give it time. And eat something." I pushed the bowl forward."
"Fine," she groaned. "How are you doing, I haven't seen you do much of anything these days."
"Yeah we actually have to talk about that."
"About what?"
"About me and school and whatever."
"Okay... talk."
"Well, I've been thinking for the past month about what you told me and I sent in an audition tape for this acting school."
"Aww that's great babes!"
"Wait it gets better, I actually got in, I received the letter yesterday."
"Oh my gosh that's amazing congrats my love," she got up and hugged my from behind, "I always knew you could do it."
"At least you do." I let out a breath.
