I shower and got dressed.
Pulling my hair into a messy bun I grabbed my glasses and put them on. I hadn't been using them much. I preferred contacts but sometimes my eyes got really dry. I had another message from Lana when I checked my phone. She had sent me the message I sent her last night. 'Friends don't quit'
No we don't.
She was pulling at my strings and it was working. I couldn't just discard her. I couldn't see years of friendship be flushed away.
It was worth more than that. But still what she said really got to me and I wasn't quite ready to hear what she had to say.
I hit reply.
'I don't want to talk to you right now'
Putting my phone away I grabbed my jacket and headed downstairs.
Jake was home.
"Hey baby".
"Where's Alanna?".
"Outside in your car". He rolled his eyes. "Did you eat?".
"Do we have any painkillers?". My head was still throbbing. I thought the shower would have helped but I guess not.
"You sick?". He rummaged about the kitchen until he produced a packet of pills.
"I'm not sick". I smiled. "Just a sore head".
He popped two out and poured me some water. "You still okay to leave early afternoon?".
I took the pills swallowing them down with the water. "Yeah. We're going to pick up our gowns and then go for coffee". "Okay baby". He slipped his arms around my waist pulling me against him. "You doing okay?".
I knew he was referring to last night.
"She wants to talk".
"And what do you want?".
"Not today". I turned around in his arms. "Today isn't about Lana".
"What's today about?". He smirked.
"Me". I grinned before placing a kiss on his lips.
His grip tightened.
