The Sweetest Days - M3lanix

Chapter 5

[ 8.30 p.m.]

Sarah finished getting ready because Rebecca was about to arrive anytime. She was looking forward to seeing her best friend and telling her what happened with Richard after school.

The doorbell rang and Sarah rushed downstairs to open the door. As soon as she saw Rebecca she smiled and gave her a strong hug.

"Hey hey we'll it looks like somebody's happy tonight" said Rebecca trying not to fall.
"Well of course dumb dumb! I'm happy to see you of course" she said with a huge smile.

Rebecca raises an eyebrow.

"What? It's trueeeeee" said Sarah.
"Okay so let me get this straight : are you happy to see ME or your happy that you actually talked to Richard?" Rebecca said sitting on one of the kitchen chairs.

Sarah sighed and said : " Both".

"Ah ah! I knew it! You can't lie to me girl I'll find out everything!" Rebecca said laughing.
"Yeah you know me so well" Sarah laughed.
"Girl I'm starving! Let's eat!! said Rebecca getting up.
" I agree" answered Sarah with a wink.

The two girls helped each other to prepare food and the result was remarkable in just two hours. On the kitchen table there was pizza, popcorn, breadsticks, potato salad, pretzels and baked pasta.

"Fuck Sarah! With all this food we're gonna get fat!! " said Rebecca laughing.
" Hahahaha yeah probably" she said.

Throughout the night they ate, watched 4 horror films in a row, laughed and joked. After a while they decided to rest and began to talk a little to overcome the boredom that was now felt.

"So Sarah...let's talk about Richard." began Rebecca.
"Ookay what do you want to know?"
"Everything" said Rebecca with a smile.
"Well today we talked and oh my god!!! He's really sweet Reb, like...RRRREEEAALLLYYY" said Sarah smiling in return to her.
"Oh really? I see. And what you two talked about may I ask?"
"He asked me out on a date tomorrow evening" said Sarah with her open eyes.

Rebecca's jaw dropped and she shook her head saying : " Giiiiiiiiiirrrrllllll" you did it finally."
"Did what?" asked Sarah confused.
"You're finally getting attention and going out with a guy dummo!" answered Rebecca rolling her eyes.
"I'm worried about something tho"
"What? Tell me I can help you" said Rebecca.
" Shit!!! What I'm going to wear?????!!!" said Sarah with a little panic.
"Don't worry, tomorrow will go to the mall and...wait did he tell you what time you guys are going to meet?" asked Rebecca.
" No, he said he's going to text me so..."
"Oh okay well let me know because we might go after school." suggest Rebecca.

Sarah smiled and thought she was lucky to have such a best friend. She loved her and would do anything for her as Rebecca was doing right now: she was helping her with Richard. She could never thank her enough.

"We have school tomorrow uh?" said Rebecca tired.
"Yeah we do"
"Oh shit it's already 1 o'clock!!!! My mom's gonna kill me" said Rebecca laughing.
"Better run then" Sarah laughed.
"I had a great time Sarah thank you!!" said Rebecca smiling and hugging her.
"Nooo, thank YOU!! For what you doing for me and Richard, but the most of all, staying by my side" said Sarah.
"Girl, that's what a bestfriend does!!! And I'm happy to help always!" Rebecca winked.
"See you tomorrow boo"
"See ya..oh! And tell your mom I said hello" said Rebecca.
"Alright I will, byeeeee"
"Bye Sarah"

Sarah closed the door and headed for the kitchen. "Oh god look here" she thought "the kitchen is a disaster. I'll explain everything to my mother tomorrow morning". She went upstairs to change and put on her pajamas, brushed her teeth and brushed her long blonde hair. She looked in the mirror and made a face of disgust and said to herself "I don't know what Richard sees in me, I'll never know." She turned off all the lights and she threw herself on the bed. She was exhausted but happy.  She looked at her phone. It was 1:30 in the morning. She put it back on the bedside table and she went under the covers. In less than twenty seconds she had fallen asleep in a deep sleep. Ten minutes later her phone made a sound like in "beep". It was the sound of an incoming message. It was written :

• Richard ❤️
"Hey princess, are you still awake?"

But Sarah did not have the opportunity to read it ... maybe she was dreaming about something beautiful, inexplicable or she was simply dreaming...HIM.

A/N : That was so close wasn't it? 🤷🏻‍♀️
