Real Life is Overrated
Iwake up to a steaming cup of coffee on my bedside table. A note is pinned under the mug.
Early meeting, had to dash.
Use my card for anything you need today and have fun.
But not too much fun.
PS. You’re a goddess.
I text him.
Thanks for the coffee and the note. Have a good meeting. Do you mind if I go out for dinner tonight with my best friend?
He responds immediately.
ALISTAIR
Is your best friend a straight female?
Yes. Straight-ish. Mostly straight.
Then I don’t mind. Take her somewhere special.
I was planning on going to a cheap Chinese takeout.
Don’t you dare.
We have standards to uphold.
We always go there. We like it there.
You’ll like a better place more.
More expensive places aren’t always better.
LOL
Arrogant ass, I think. But I’m smiling.
You’re right. I’ll have plenty of time to eat 49p ramen when I go back to my regular life. I will take her somewhere nice. Thank you.
Oh, Ivy. So naïve.
My stomach knots.
WTF does that mean?
You think it’ll be that easy to get rid of me?
You said a week. A week to stay here and explore. After that I’m moving on.
I’ve got a life to live.
A real life with responsibilities.
Real life is overrated.
