Chapter 28

Finn and Caleb reach the hotel
"hey man if you wanna stay you could be here, my brother even isn't here" Finn exclaims looking at his friend
"I don't know..." Caleb hesitates; he would prefer not disturb him
"c'mon Caleb! You don't disturb" Finn laughs, because he knows why he is hesitating
"Finn-"
"C'mon let's go" he enters in the hotel knowing his friend will follow him
"Okay okay" Caleb laughs and follows his friend.

They reach his big room
"When I was here, this morning, I haven't noticed how cool is this room of this Hotel!"
Caleb exclaims smiling
"Yeah I agree, I can't deny this" Finn chuckles
"mh now that I think also my hotel is really cool" Caleb says thoughtful
"Atlanta is a great city"
"it really is, we should come here more frequently" Caleb says with a smile and before Finn says a word
"and Millie lives here" Caleb bumps his shoulder with his one and winks at him
"Caleb!" Finn laughs
"shut up!" and still laughs
"Yeah okay okay" Caleb says and snorts.
Meanwhile Caleb was talking like with himself, because Finn isn't hearing him, he is focused on his phone checking new texts; after replied to his parents he notices her text of the "good morning", he smiles and replies
<<never late to have one of your texts❤️>>
She isn't online but he still looks her chat like his own hypnosis, soon his face will hurt because of that big smile
"Finn?"
In that moment his ears aren't working but Caleb still doesn't know this
"Mh Finn?"
Caleb stands up from the sofa but Finn is still in the kitchen in front of the fridge, basically he was there to drink water
"Finn?!" Caleb touches his shoulder and Finn springs
"o-oh hey tell me" Finn looks at him
"I was talking but you weren't say anything" Caleb says with a furrowed brow
"Sorry I-I was texting my parents" Finn nervously smiles
"Do... Do you wanna drink?"
and pretends always more his smile to make himself more believable
"Yes..." he stares at him with a weird look
"here" Finn still tries a good performance
"Thanks..." he takes the glass
"What were you saying?" Finn asks
"nothing, I was only talking about... Never mind, you'll kill me" he laughs
"if you are talking about Millie... Yeah, you're right, I'll kill you" he laughs too
"Let's play videogames" Finn suddenly says and sits on the little sofa
"Yeah, it's a good idea! I missed playing with you"
Caleb smiles at him.
They turn on the TV, the Nintendo switch and start to play.

Meanwhile Sadie and Millie had reached Millie's home. They reach Millie's bedroom while Paige is in the bathroom
"every time I'm in your room I can't say how much I love it!" Sadie exclaims looking around her
"at this point it's an habit" Millie laughs
"hey I turn on the TV with some songs!"
Sadie exclaims, ready with her remote control to open internet and search songs
"done, I chose this playlist" Sadie says with a smile
"perfect" Millie returns it.

They have this in background and they sit on the bed, talking about stupid things, then they decide to watch a movie in the salon and when it finishes the door opens with Millie's parents
"Oh hey Sadie!" Kelly shouts, running towards awards her to hug her daughter's friend
"I was waiting you!" Kelly smiles at her
"Oh thanks Mrs. Brown" Sadie returns the smile
"Sadie you HAVE to call me Kelly" Millie's mom laughs
"Hi mom!" her daughter appears behind her friend
"hey Millie, everything is okay here?" she asks
"Yes mom! Sadie will have lunch here! I bet it is okay" Millie laughs
"Yes yes, it is"
Kelly laughs too
"Robert is going here too" the woman smiles again at the two girls and goes in the kitchen to tidy up the grocery shopping, Millie's dad comes and greets Sadie, of course he is happy too to have that good girl here.

They love Sadie, she is good and she makes their daughter happy. Their friendship is really strong and they know that.

While they are eating, they are having fun talking about life, projects, fun facts happened in these days but suddenly
"Oh Sadie, will you be here for dinner too?" Kelly asks with a smile. Sadie wouldn't disturb them
"oh no, don't worry"
"Sadie you won't disturb!" and this makes Sadie laugh.
Sadie doesn't have something to do and she will be with her best friend so it's not very bad like idea
"oh I don't know, I think is g-"
"Sadie!" Millie shouts, maybe too much aloud
"Emh... Don't you remember?" she nervously smiles
"We have to go there!" Millie exclaims, looking in her friend's eyes to implore her because she needs help right now
"We... What?" Sadie raises her eyebrows
Millie laughs softly and nervously
"Yeah, Sadie we have to go out t-this evening"
Millie smiles, but not a natural smile, is obvious she is lying. Fortunately it seems that the weird features haven't been noticed by her parents. Sadie understands what Millie is doing and she helps her
"Oh yeah yeah!" the redhead smiles
"oh god sorry! I'm so dumb" she laughs and stares Millie's mom
"Yeah Kelly, we'll go out later" she smiles and tries lying good
"Okay okay, this means the next time" she answers with a smile
"sure" Sadie ruturns it and now Millie can breathe again but of course Sadie will want to know what's happening.

Nick comes back "home"
"oh hey Caleb!" Nick exclaims
"hey man!" he stands up to greet well Finn's brother
"How are you?" Nick talks putting things for a shower in the bathroom
"good good! And you?" he shouts
"good!"
there is silence for a moment
"so you're already here! It's not a problem but I knew you will be here this evening"
he is in the bathroom so he can't see Caleb's face
"emh... What?" Caleb looks at Finn
"nothing" he smiles
"but-"
"Don't worry"
"Finn?"
"Yeah?"
"why?" Caleb chuckles, this is weird
"Because-" Finn is talking
"Caleb?!" Nick shouts
"I called him because I was bored" Finn shouts
"oh okay, well you did well! I'm here for a shower then I'll go out again"
"Yeah I was sure of it" Finn says
"Finn! So?!" Caleb asks
"Yeah well... He-he wanted to go out and asked me if I wanted to go with him but I didn't want so... Yeah I lied" he laughs nervously
"is it only for this?" Caleb asks with raised eyebrows
"Yeah yeah" he smiles and pats his shoulder to come back on the sofa
"Okay..." he looks at him and after a while he approaches again to him
"When will we eat?" Caleb asks
"you're right! Now!"
they stand up and make a sandwich for the lunch
"I'm going, guys! I trust you so don't create problems!" and then Nick closes the door.

Sadie and Millie finished the lunch, same Caleb and Finn...

The dates are close so it's the time to go.

"Mills now I go" Sadie says with a little smile
"but before... Why did you lie?"
"I... I have to do something" Millie smiles nervously
"What?" she asks curious
"I can't say... Sorry sorry sorry" she begs Sadie
"but... Why you can't?"
Sadie is worried, it's not an usual that Millie lies
"I'll tell you one day! Okay? But I have to do something this evening and I really would like to talk with you about this but please... For me... Don't ask, I need you to trust me Sadie"
Sadie can read in her eyes that this thing is really important and she really can't explain but one day... Yeah she said one day she could explain so she'll help her and she won't ask
"Okay Mills" she smiles
"I love you Sadie" she hugs her best friend
"I love you too! But don't get into trouble! Promise me"
"yesss, I promise" she laughs
"thanks! And don't worry, you are amazing! Spectacular! The most beautiful girl outside and inside! You'll be fine with him and evything will be okay!" she still smiles and holds her hands
"thanks Millie! And for this thing... Well I hope everything will be fine" she laughs
"thanks" she smiles shyly at the memory of him and their date
"Really thanks for everything, bye Millie"
Sadie hugs again her and leaves the house while Millie is still looking at her, another gaze, movement of their hands, the last smile and this morning is finished.

In the other "house" Caleb was leaving too
"So Cal don't worry for today, okay?" Finn asks, putting his hand on his shoulder
"Yeah" he says nervously
"c'mon c'mon don't worry! You're amazing and this date will be wonderful!"
Finn smiles to encourage his friend
"Thanks man, I'm so afraid god" he smiles and says what he is really thinking since yesterday
"I know I know but don't worry, if you stay like this, you'll ruin everything and you don't want, am I wrong?"
"No no! You're right! I'll be myself and I'll be a gentleman and I'll make her laugh, I'll buy something for her, I'll give her the gift" he smiles with heart eyes
"yes yes yes, you'll do all these things but without anxiety, right?"
"right Finn! Thanks but now I have to go" he hugs Finn, patting his back
"Keep calm!" he shouts while the friend is leaving.

His morning is finished too now they have to wait and they'll see how this date will be.
