Meeting you again

Mia & Potential ~ Chapter 4

Mia's POV
My dusty blonde hair blew from the fan as I took a seat at Veronica's table "So whats your opinion on Rose?" Veronica asked me out of nowhere was this the whole reason she invited me to her place? "Well, we arent friends, but she seems cool." I answered kindly fluttering my lashes trying to get her to believe my words "Okay..do you think shes a little to close with Eliza?" Veronica asked me again as she prepared lunch is she jealous of Rose? Why? Shes straight, she says so herself but I guess its none of my business why shes so concerned for Eliza "What the hell? No, I think they're perfectly fine." I answered maybe a bit more vulgar then I intended I saw the slightly taller girl cringe at my words giving me a dull look to which she responded with "I just want the best for my friend, but that isnt the main reason I invited you here." She explained, setting lunch on 2 plates with glasses of lemonade and sat them on the table I took a sip of my drink before replying "Thats understandable, but Rose isnt a threat at all, just a cool introverted girl." I stated simply, it was an opinion that felt like a fact I sat down my glass staring across from her "I agree..maybe I was getting out of hand, How are you?" I noticed her bite her lip did she really switch between topics that quickly? "Im doing decent, what about you?" I took a bite out of my sandwich before she started talking again after awhile the conversation got dry.I wiped my mouth with the napkin before asking "Whats your relationship with Eliza?" I asked, simply for answers I feel like this meet up had more meaning behind it then she says my mouth felt dry despite all the drink I had just waiting for her answer made me worry "We're friends thats it." She said firmly giving me a cold chilling glare I nodded pretending to agree when I secretly had no idea why the cold expression had to be inserted here.
Veronica's POV
I noticed Mia nod, her vibrant teal eyes almost darkened slightly I swear I saw it maybe I was dehydrated and needed water? I settled for my usual choice for lunch, the lemonade I took a sip from my glass "Hows the start of the new school going for you?" I asked curiously trying to lighten the mood up from the previous verbal actions my head strangely started to hurt and I felt dizzy but ignored it, it was probably because of the hot weather it was strange for February, but I brushed it off as just the heat getting to my mind "Its going great, I love English and literate so far." Mia told me, I felt like my vision was getting blurry and failing me until everything turned gray ams fuzzy I heard syllables from Mia's voice her voice sounded like it was shaking until I fully blacked out.
Mia's POV
I was explaining what I so far learnt in classes, But Veronica suddenly fainted "Veronica!" My voice got lost from reality, I figured it was because of the hot weather but I pushed in my chair and picked her up she was sorta heavy for a weak thing like me but I quickly laid her on the couch and unzipped her jacket she was already in shorts so I had no more to do other then sot out a cold glass of water when she wakes up I cleaned the dishes with sponges and dish soap looking over my shoulder eyeing the sleeping girl her chest rose up and down she was clearly breathing—wait, rose?- I mentally shivered in my soul the image of her flashed in my mind as I finished the dishes I sat them on the drying mat next to the sink.I was sitting at the table still, but in Veronica's seat so I could still watch her while I charged my phone I heard noises coming from her that she was waking up she'd been out cold for 30 minutes straight 30 minutes that shook me to my core almost "Mmh..? Mia..?" She asked me, her hand on her forehead as she chugged the cold water not even gagging on the ice that was melting "Yeah? You fainted cuz of the heat.." I responded quietly, knowing her head probably hurt "Get my tylenol, its in the downstairs bathroom cabinet." She told me laying down her head against the pillow again I obeyed and found the medicine handing her the bottle and the glass of ice cold water "Thanks.." Veronica's voice was quiet yet low as she swallowed the pill and drunk the water and laid her head down again "Do you want me to leave or..?" I asked trying to remain polite despite what happened this afternoon "Yeah, you can go I need sleep I appreciate you, Mia." She ended her sentence as I grabbed my bag and wrapped up my phone charger laying it in my purse along with my phone "By the way, I cleaned the dishes, silverware, and table I also turned on the AC for you, have a good day and get better." I gave her a simple polite smile as she gave me one back before sleeping I walked out her door locking it for her I was a bit disturbed despite the way that this was completely normal for heat weather.I finally made it home, took my phone out of my purse and changed into pjs my mind flashed thinking about Veronica and our heavy-yet-light conversation I decided that even if I wasnt friends with Rose she still deserved to know I had Eliza's number due to past meet ups for school work last year so she gave me Rose's number with no hesitation
Me: Rose, Veronica brought you up in a conversation me and her had she says she wants the best for Eliza I dont think she likes you so watch out.

Rose: Really? I did nothing to her 🙄 I'll avoid her at all costs.Thanks, Mia, did she say anything else?
Me: No, she just isnt fond of you, apparently, she claims that her an Eliza are just friends.

Rose's POV
Great, what the hell is Veronica's problem with me? Now that I think about it, I wonder if Eliza told any of her close friends about our kiss? I dont know, but I dont dare ask any of them I decided to keep this new information a secret between me and Mia maybe Eliza is just overprotective? either way, its beyond my mind to know such things my mind wondered again back to yesterday maybe I should text Eliza? We only exchanged digital good mornings today so I unlock my phone again and click on her contact
Me: Hey, Eliza, you there?
A few minutes passed before the icon of typing showed up
Eliza: Yeah, whats up?
Me: How're you feeling after the other day?
Eliza: I feel mutual about us and pretty much like best friends.
I read that message over and over but the whole friends-to-more scenario took or takes, time
Me: Yeah, I agree 😊
I locked my phone again I lied..I feel like I want more with her but I have no idea if I love her or actually want her as a girlfriend or even a friends of benefits situation but none of that could happen without her agreeing and her feeling the same way.
Eliza's POV
I lied, I feel like I love her but im too scared to know if its true or admit it I sigh happy with what we had but would totally be satisfied with more it wasnt greedy, just wanting love, was that too much to ask? I shook off the thought for now as I made my way downstairs and cut up strawberries putting them in a see through bowl washing them off before eating them I sat them on the couch and sat down watching youtube my mind still glued on yesterday Rose has this effect on me making me blush and so on I guess its a tiny crush that'll hopefully grow into something more along with our friendship growing into something more, eventually, it was a situation of slowly yet surely, so close yet so far, and it drived me crazy until I eventually got a headache from it my strawberries were gone and so was my clear mind as I fluffed the couch's pillow and fell asleep.
