After her shower, Ada stared at her phone. She was still on read with no reply. She contemplated texting Sebastien to make sure that he was okay but then she though that would make her look too desperate. She was just about ready to to fold in for the night when her notifications went off.
SN: wyd?
She stared at her phone. Seriously after 5 hours of nothing his response was wyd? Her next contemplation was leaving him on read but she decided to be the bigger person and replied with a short and simple:
AC: Nothing hbu?
A notification shot back almost instant.
SN: Just got off work. Meet up?
Ada didnt even know he worked. She learned new things every day, and one of those things she quickly found out was Sebastien was a night owl.Ada looked at her alarm clock and groaned. She had just pulled a grueling 16 hours at the diner and she really wanted to sleep. But Sebastien was addicting.
AC: "Meet you at the lake in 45?"
SN: See you then.
She was going to need to make a pit stop at the gas station for a red bull.

Lake Pointecko was a silent and secluded place. Ada gave Bernie a call on the way there to let her friend know where she was going. Bernie wasnt too happy about the seclusion of the Lake but Ada reassured her friend that Sebastien really just needed a friend and that he wouldnt do anything to hurt her. Ada parked her car and tried to reassure herself of the same thing.
10 minutes after Ada parked a silver sedan pulled in and Ada sighed. Gideon. This was a new extreme. She got out of her car and Gideon got out of his. "This is stalking Gideon," Ada snapped. Her love for this guy was quickly waning. Fast. "I just want to talk to you okay, thats all I want to do," Gideon insisted, raising his hands up in surrender.
"Gideon its the middle of the night and we are by the lake this isnt a good time," she stated. "Its not like I'm going to kill you I just wanna talk," Gideon said rolling his eyes. Ada huffed. "Thats the thing I dont want to talk to you," she crossed her arms in anger. "Ada we have to talk about what happened..." he started. "I know what happened, I dont need the detail nor do I want them. Now please just go!" she yelled. Gideon reeled back as if he was slapped. The n his tone changed.
"I know you're waiting for him. He's bad news Ade," Gideon went to walk closer to her and tried to grab her arm. "GO!" she snapped as she pulled her arm back out of his grasp. Neither had heard the other car pull up, nor did they hear Sebastien get out of it.
"I believe she told you to go," he said as he stepped forward. He was looking rough. He had a black eye and his lip was bleeding. Ada ignored Gideon and quickly turned on Sebastien. "Jesus are you okay?' she declared. "Yeah man you dont look to good," Gideon mumbled. He was looking at Sebastien almost as if at any moment he was going to throw a punch.
"I'm fine," Sebastien said shortly, "Now do as the lady said and kindly leave," Gideon looked at Ada. "I dont think this is a smart idea..." he started. Ada sighed . "Ill text you when I'm home right now I have other pressing matters to attend too," Deep down though she knew Gideon had a reason to be worried. Sebastien looked like he walked into a fight and lost.
