Morning chills

"UP! UP! UP! OR SO HELP ME I SWEAR-" Christine is banging pots together like a maniac. "I'm up, I'm up chill". I cant help but say it with the fattest smile ever thinking about yesterday, I check my phone for any messages from Noah since last night I see 2 texts from orange juice boy aka Elijah 1 missed call from Noah EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK and 2 messages from him as well, they read "Hey was wondering if you wanted to hang out today maybe explore Florida? only if your down of course :)" the second one reading " this is Noah by the way but you already knew that, well at least I think you did, of course you did you saved it, but maybe you forgot, I'm gonna stop talking now before I embarrass myself". I couldn't help but laugh at his vulnerability he's so sweet.

"What's the plan for today sleeping beauty"? she uttered while on her phone no doubt texting her boyfriend Jacob. "I don't know what did you have in mind Mrs. Christine?" even though i know its most likely just me third wheeling with her and Jacob. "Well me and Jacob were gonna watch a movie if you wanna tag along"

told you.

"OMG! you could tots invite prince charming from last night , what was his name....?" she said snapping her fingers trying to remember. "Noah?"

"YES! him, did he ever text you since last night?".

"Yes actually so I guess it wouldn't be bad to I don't know double date?" I'm smirking at the thought of it. "Double date it is!" Christine yelled waving her hands up. Of course I didn't even know if he wanted to go, but to be fair we had just met and he doesn't even know Christine I wouldn't wanna go either, but I push aside that thought and grab my phone to call him anyway.

As soon as I grabbed my phone he beat me to it and I see him calling me, I pick up the phone, "Hey stranger I was just about to call you" I say with a slight laugh. "really? did I disturb?" you could hear the nervousness in his voice "no, not at all but hey! I was wondering if you wanted to go with me my friend and her boyfriend to the movies today if your comfortable with it at least" now I'm the one sounding nervous. great. "Of course I don't mind at all what time should I pick you up?" he sounds to excited and I cant say I don't feel the same.

After texting Noah about the double date I decided I would stop by "Charlie's Cafe" I sure needed it and last night was one heck of a night not to mention I'm pretty sure I relocated my ankle. I didn't wanna go alone and Christine decided to sleep in so I called Elijah, as soon as I dialed him he answered, "Elijah speaking" he said joyfully as if he was waiting for someone to call.

"Hey its me Tonya from the party yesterday you know apple juice girl".

"OH hey sis! what you doing?"

"well I was wondering if you wanted to hang at Charlie's cafe"

" I was actually just on my way I'll swing by and pick you up just send me your location"

"ok bye".

I brush my teeth aggressively trying to eliminate my morning breath, there was nothing much I could do to my hair so I threw it into a messy bun, I put on my cream sweater, denim jeans, and ankle boots. By the time I grab my phone and my bag off the bed I get a message from Elijah saying he's at the campus parking lot. Before I head out the door I give Christine a kiss on her forehead.

I go outside only to find elijah with purple box braids and fish net with Jean shorts blasting 6 rings by Ariana.

Wonder what my mother would say if she saw me actually being social , just the thought of it makes me smile.
