Broken hearts

Chapter 2

-Noah-

I was getting ready for my dinner with dad, my first week went great and I was excited to tell him all about it. I grabbed my jacket and looked for my cellphone to call my dad and ask him where will we meet, but my ringtone was faster and I noticed that my dad was calling.

"Dad. I'm ready, do you want us to meet at the restaurant?"

"Hey buddy... I have bad news..."; Shit... I knew exactly what he was going to say. "My boss scheduled a meeting for tonight so I won't be able to make it..."; here we go again... I thought, I was got used to my dad cancelling plans because of his job, but I was really excited for this dinner.

"It's OK dad"; I lied.

"No, it's not OK but..."

"I know, your job gives us something to eat and, for better or for worse they are lost without you, don't worry dad I'll make some mac and cheese" 

"Thanks for understanding son. I love you, see you later"

"Love you too, bye dad"; I said and he hung up.

Was I upset? Well...yeah, was that going to ruin my evening? Well no.

I decided to call Anni and make plans with her, the phone rang two times until she picked it up.

"Hi Babe" she answered right away.

"Hi, are you busy tonight?"

"No, not at all. Are you with your dad already?"

"No, he had a last minute meeting..."

"Sorry honey, I know you wanted to talk to him"; Anni knew me really well, she always knew what to do and say when I felt sad or upset.

"Don't worry about it, would you like to go to the movies and then for pizza?"

"Sure, that sounds great; pick me up in 20 minutes"

"OK, love you"

"Love you too"

I hung up and grabbed my car keys to go to Anni's house, it took me exactly 20 minutes to arrive to her house. I sent her a message saying that I arrived and she texted me back saying she was going to take more time to be ready so I should wait for her inside. I've been inside her house for a couple of times, with Andrew we used to hang as friends, but after becoming a couple we decided to take it slow and don't present to our parents as such yet.

Any way I went to the door and rang the bell, it didn't took so long until the maid opened it, she was new and I didn't know her yet, she was a Latin lady with less than 50 years old.

"Good afternoon, can I help you?"; she said with a sweet Latin accent.

"Good afternoon, I'm looking for Anni..."

"Oh!, you must be Noah, come on in"; she let me inside with a nice smile and closed the door behind me. "Anni won't take so long, would you like something to drink?"

"No, thank you very much"

"Alright, I'm Nini so if you need something just call me"; I thanked her for everything and walked to the living room so I could wait for Anni on the couch.

Sitting on the couch I remembered good times with Anni and Andrew, we were like the three musketeers, always looking for each other's back, we were the dynamic trio; until Anni and I started to feel something more for each other. Things started to change since Anni and I started to act like a couple, we kept hanging with Andrew but most of the times it was two by two, I used to hang only with Andrew or only with Anni, and they were used to do the same thing.
