- Lucy-
“Lucy!”
I looked up at Fiona standing in my doorway. “What?”
“I’ve been standing here trying to get your attention for five minutes.”
“Sorry, I just-” I turned my phone over and pressed it flat against the bed.
“Are you okay? You look like you’re about to yarf.”
“Aiden’s coming to get me.”
“To take you out?”
“Yeah.”
“Why do you look so freaked out? You guys go out together all the time.”
“Not like this.”
“What do you mean?”
“I don’t know. He was like, I’m not taking no for an answer and making lewd comments.”
“I could hear you laughing in here while I was curling my hair.”
“Well, it must’ve been nervous laughter because I’m totally not having fun right now.”
“Look, Peter’s waiting for me outside so I just popped my head in to say goodbye.”
“Right. You should go.”
She walked over to the bed and put her hands on my shoulders. “Lucy, you’ve only kissed him. Nothing’s changed. You guys are still buds. Don’t overreact.”
“It sounds like he’s got more than kissing in mind.”
She threw her hands in the air. “Well, it’s about damn time!”
“Don’t you get it?” I asked. “I’ve been trying to convince myself that this isn’t what I wanted for as long as I can remember.”
“You mean lying to yourself.”
“I don’t know anymore.”
“You want my advice?”
I nodded.
“Get pretty. Go out. Have a good time.”
“And if he tries to take things further?”
“Can you even hear yourself right now? You’re being so silly. You can handle yourself. If something feels good, do it. If something feels bad, don’t do it.”
“That’s some of the best advice you’ve ever given me.”
