"RING RING RING"

my eyes slowly squinted open and I glared at my alarm clock. 10:36AM. that's not my alarm clock going off, somebody is calling me. I closed my eyes and threw my hand on the nightstand and searched for my phone.

"RING RING RING"

ahh, there it is.

"hello?" I answered with a raspy voice.

"hey girl! it's Emma! what are you up to?" she was more perky than usual, which was weird.

"trying to wake up. what's up with you?" I threw my covers to the side and sat up in my bed.

"I got Nash's number last night at the party and he's really nice! you and I should go out for lunch and catch up. you in?"

"sure, pick me up at 12." I hung up the phone and drug my heavy body to the bathroom. I still had on Cameron's sweatpants and Nathan's tee on, along with my bathing suit.

I don't remember coming home last night, but I do remember playing some drinking games with Cameron and his friends.

I stripped, showered, and then dried off. what should I wear to lunch?

hmmm.. I turned on my bluetooth and headed to the closet. I decided on light wash high waisted Levi shorts, a white floral bralette, ankle boots, and light pinnk cardigan to top it all off. I wand curled my hair and put on my daily makeup.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

Emma is here! "be there in a sec!" I yelled loud so she could hear. I grabbed my purse, aviators, keys, phone, and headed out the door.

the drive to lunch was quiet, mainly because we both wanted to save our news for lunch and not spill in the car.

"sorry to interupt, are you two ladies ready to order?" the waitress ask Emma and I.

"no, your'e fine! I'd like to get a chicken and veggie wrap." I smiled and handed her my menu.

"and I'd like to get a chef salad, please." Emma smiled.

"so, Nash is totally super cute and I got his number last night at the party!" She dangled her phone in the air. " we totally hit it off! him and Cameron are hanging out right now actually." she looked down at her phone, smiled, and her thumbs traveled around the screen so fast like it was going out of business. "so what's up with you? hows Nathan doing?" she looked up at me and stared until I answered.

"Nathan is good, he's on a business trip this weekend." I could tell she wasn't really interested, so I didn't say more.

for a good half hour or so, I sat and watched Emma rapidly glide her thumbs back and forth on her iPhone screen.

I took this chance and look at my surroundings. the sky was cloudless and filled with birds, the beach was beautiful and crawling with beautiful people soaking up the hot Cali sun, and the restaraunt itself is very pretty. Nathan and I just moved here from Seattle, Washington about 5 months ago, so I'm still taking it all in.

"ahhh, hey guys!" Emma sounded really chirpy. I snapped my head to see who was there.

Cameron, Nash, Matthew (a guy from the party), and another guy that looked familiar, but I didn't know his name.

"hey Kate." Cameron sat down beside me.

"uhh, hey Cameron." I smiled and turned to face him.

oh my god! I can't, he was just way too handsome, and I have a boyfriend. but I can just stare at his face all day and listen to him mesmorize me with his voice.

"do you?" Cameron asked me in a confused voice.

"wait, I'm sorry. do I what?" I snapped out of my daydream.

"I said do you want to go walk on the beach?" he asked, looking me straight in the eyes.

I nodded yes and followed him to the beach.

"aye Nash, we're headed down to the beach. smell ya later, homeboy." Cameron winked at him and grabbed my hand to take me to the beach.
