Forbidden Fruit

Chapter 15: You'll See

Lily's POV
—————

I had barely been paying attention in classes because I had been so nervous for what I knew would come after. But finally after hours of sitting in classes anxiously, it was finally time to meet Andrea at the front of the school.

I threw my bag over my right shoulder, looking at the floor as I walked through the halls before opening the door and letting it close behind me.

I walked down the steps and after only a few moments Andrea walked down the steps to meet me.

"Hey!" She greeted.

"Hey, are you ready to go?" She intertwined our hands and nods in response.

"Where are we going? What are we doing?" She asked impatiently as we walked to my car.

"It's a surprise." I answer vaguely. She huffed in annoyance and narrowed her eyes at me playfully.

"You can choose the music." I hand her my phone before walking to the drivers side. She nods and starts picking a song while walking over to the passenger side.

Once my phone connects and I start backing out, Born to Die by Lana Del Rey starts playing.

"Where are we going?" She repeated impatiently.

"You'll see."

After listening to about four songs and singing along while driving, we made it to our first stop.

"Why are we at Starbucks? I mean of course I want it, but why did you make a big deal out of it?" She looked over at me, with confusion apparent on her face.

"This is just the first thing on our schedule." I reply before pulling up and ordering our usuals.

It was only a few minutes of waiting in the line before I was pulling eleven dollars out of my wallet and handing it over to the barista. She gave me my change and I put it back in my wallet. She quickly handed over our drinks and I put them into the cup holders before turning out of the drive-through.

Andrea grabbed her chocolate frappe and I grabbed my caramel frappe and took a few sips.

"What's next on the agenda?" Andrea asks, glancing at me before taking another sip of her drink.

"You'll see."

"Stop saying 'you'll see', tell me already!" She demanded impatiently.

"Not gonna happen. I will give you a hint. Our next destination is very familiar." I answer vaguely.

She doesn't respond, her eyebrows furrowed as she started playing another song through my phone.

After another fifteen minutes of driving, we made it to our next destination.

"Why are we stopping at China City? I mean I'm not gonna complain about it, but why is today so special?" Andrea stepped outside of the car with her drink in her hand, and I do the same.

"You'll see." I answer mysteriously with a playful grin on my face and she narrowed her eyes at me playfully.

We walk in and luckily there wasn't a line, so we quickly order our usual food to go.

"Let me pay, you payed for Starbucks let me pay for food." Andrea insisted.

I ignored her and handed a twenty over to the woman at the register.

"I'm paying you back." She crossed her arms against her chest.

"No you aren't." I shake my head and pull out a chair for her. We sat across from each other and she continued to try and say she'd pay me back until the same woman who had taken our order dropped off our bag of takeout at our table. We said thank you and walked back to my car.
