"Hey, Sophia! How was the charity event?" Keisha's voice carried her usual cheerfulness.
I hesitated for a moment, not quite sure how to express what I was feeling. "It's been... eventful, to say the least."
Keisha's curiosity was palpable. "Eventful? Tell me more!"
I took a deep breath, deciding to start with the positive aspects of the event.
"Well, the event itself was nice. We managed to raise a good amount for the charity. The decorations were beautiful, and people seemed to be enjoying themselves."
"That's great to hear! But I sense there's more to the story," Keisha prodded.
I chuckled, Keisha's intuition never failing to amaze me. "Yeah, there was a... slightly creepy encounter. This guy approached me, and he gave me the creeps. But, you know, Matteo stepped in and managed to diffuse the situation."
Keisha's laughter rang through the phone. "Matteo to the rescue, huh? That guy doesn't seem to leave your side."
I chuckled in agreement, though I didn't elaborate further. "Yeah, something like that. But that's not why I called you."
Keisha's tone turned more serious. "Alright, spill it. What's going on?"
Taking a deep breath, I hesitated before finally letting the words tumble out. "One thing led to another, and... I ended up spending the night with Matteo."
There was a moment of silence on the other end, and then Keisha's voice erupted in excitement. "Oh my gosh, Sophia! Are you serious?!"
I couldn't help but laugh at her reaction. "Yes, I am serious."
Keisha's excitement was contagious. "Wow, that's quite a development! How did that happen?"
I sighed, trying to find the right words. "It's hard to explain. We were talking, and then somehow, things changed, and... well, you know."
Keisha's playfully teasing tone was back. "Oh, come on, Sophia! Details!"
I blushed even though she couldn't see me. "Keisha, it's not like that! I don't want to give you all the details."
She laughed. "Alright, alright, I won't pry. But I'm thrilled for you, Sophia. It sounds like something straight out of a romance novel!"
As her laughter faded, Keisha's tone turned more thoughtful. "You know, Sophia, I can't help but sense that you're not as happy about it as you should be."
I sighed, grateful for her perceptiveness. "Yeah, you're right. I mean, I don't even know what to feel. I've finally stopped denying my feelings for him, but now I'm unsure if I want to pursue anything with him."
There was a pause on the other end before Keisha spoke again. "So, where is he now?"
"He left last night," I answered. "Something urgent came up, and he had to go. But he said we'll talk about it."
Keisha's voice held a hint of encouragement. "Sophia, the fact that he wants to talk about it is a good sign. Someone who didn't have genuine feelings wouldn't bother addressing what happened."
I knew she was right, but a small part of me couldn't help but be apprehensive. "I get that, Keisha. It's just... It's already the next day, and he hasn't even sent a message or anything."
Keisha's tone turned soothing. "Sophia, calm down. Patience is key here. You know how busy his life is. He'll reach out when he can."
I knew she was making sense, but my anxious thoughts had a way of taking over. "I guess you're right. I need to stop overthinking."
Keisha's laughter tinkled through the phone. "Exactly! And remember, I'm here to distract you from those overthinking sessions anytime."
I chuckled. "Thanks, Keisha. I don't know what I'd do without you."
"Probably drive yourself crazy," she quipped playfully.
I laughed, too, feeling lighter than before. "Yeah, probably."
