It was fine. We watched Arcane together then went to bed
Nastya:
Together ?
Me:
???
Nastya:
Nastya:
So you had a very boring and uneventful evening, is that right?
Me:
Not exactly.
I set my phone down and pour batter into the pan.
Nastya:
*Jennifer Lawrence what do you mean gif*
Me:
He tried to help me unpack and found my vibrator. Then, some woman called him.
Nastya:
Mm, spicy for the first one. Meh for the second.
Me:
Spicy? I was ready for the floor to swallow me. As for the second one, I disagree. It will be easier to forget about him if he’s taken.
Nastya:
Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to board your flight to Delulu Land. Please take your seats.
Huffing, I flip the pancake. For the first time in years, I’m really considering giving up my crush on Hayden. Why can’t she just support me?
Me:
I don’t need a flight. I need a new best friend.
Nastya:
Take that back or else.
A quiet snort escapes my lips, and I shake my head. I love her too much to give up on our friendship.
Me:
See you at 10.
As I wait for the next pancake to cook, I survey the spotless kitchen. The cabinets and the breakfast bar are white, contrasting against the dark gray countertops and mahogany floors. It’s gorgeous, really, but the room feels so empty. Bottom lip caught between my teeth, I consider the breakfast bar, imagining a bouquet of forget-me-nots with some white roses on it. Would Hayden mind if I brought some back with me this afternoon? Maybe I should pick up groceries too. It’s a miracle I found everything I needed for the pancakes.
