I woke up early this morning, it was Saturday. Who wakes up at 7:30 on a Saturday!
I sat up and checked my phone for messages, I had a few from Erica (that I didn't even bother checking) and a couple from my friend Mark, which I quickly replied to.
Walking to the kitchen I noticed a lump on the couch, I laughed as I saw the light brown hair pop out from under the throw blanket. I jumped over the back of the couch and smiled at Aria's reaction.
"What the… Callie!" I laughed as Aria grabbed her head and squinted at me. "Holy Cow what did I drink last night?"
"Pretty much all of Market St, you drank them dry." I replied nonchalantly, "Not to mention, once again I out drank you, so what are you going to do for my winnings?" I was hoping she would cook breakfast, we can cook, and we cook all the time together. But Aria's French toast is to die for.
I looked at her with pleading eyes while continuously poking her shoulder.
"First of all get off of me." I rolled off her and watched her as she disappeared into her bedroom. Shuffling her feet across the carpeted floor, she stood in front of me holding out a twenty dollar bill. "Why don't you go get some donuts or something, there is a bakery down the street."
I took the money, than looked at her. "Um why do I have to go? I won, remember!"
"Cal, I'm clearly hungover right now, and plus we don't have groceries. So you fly I buy. I'll make it up to you." She said as she lay back down on the couch throwing the blanket over her head.
"Whatever, I'll be back. You owe me by the way." I didn't mind walking to the bakery it was nice out and it was only a few blocks away.
I headed to the door as Aria mumbled her reply to me. I made sure when I left I slammed the door, just to push Aria's buttons a little more.
As the door shut behind me I stood their frozen staring at the door in front of me. I had forgotten about the girl with the piercing blue eyes. I wonder if she heard the door slam. She probably wouldn't appreciate me waking her up again, she looked younger than be but older than Aria she had to be at least 20. So she probably enjoys the young adult activity of sleeping in.
I took one last look at the blonde's door and a smile crossed my face, wondering when I would see those messy blonde curls again.
I made my way back home with a dozen delicious donuts, and a bag that contained a carton of milk, and a carton of orange juice, and of course snacks for later. I figured we'd have a movie day and explore more town later tonight.
As I approached the main door with both hands full I tried to grab the handle and hold the door open. I guess I should have thought about this and maybe drove to the bakery.
"Here, let me get that for you." A woman approached me she had dirty blonde hair and light blue eyes. She looked a little like the blonde I saw last night upstairs. She was dressed in a business suit and was dragging behind a suitcase. She had to be in her mid thirties.
"Oh thank you." I smiled at her, she took the bag out of my hand and held the door for me.
"You must be new here, I'm Grace Robbins." I shook her hand and smiled, "we live in 203."
"Callie… uh Torres, yea my sister and I just moved here yesterday morning, we're actually neighbors. We live in 204, so right across the hall."
We headed up the stairs, talking and getting to know each other.
"So it's just you and your sister?" she asked me.
"Yup, my sister Aria, she's 18. Were from Miami, she moved up here for college, and I just got out of a two year school, so I decided to accompany her. Were only a few years apart so were close in age, I'm 22." We were on the floor of our apartment and she handed me my bag of snacks and drinks.
"We'll Callie, I have a daughter who is close to your age, you and your sister should come over tonight and have dinner with us. Spaghetti night and you can meet my daughter, unless you have plans." As soon as she said I could meet her daughter my face lit up, it had to be the girl from last night.
I didn't bother talking this over with Aria, she's a big girl if she doesn't want to come she doesn't have to.
"Um yea…sure that sounds great, we were just going to walk around town later. But home cooked food sounds way better." I was trying to contain how excited I was to finally meet the other blonde.
"Great, come over around 6, maybe Arizona can show you around after."
I walked in the apartment and set the donuts and the bag on the table. I started to open the box when Aria came in.
"Took you long enough, I'm starving!" She said as she took the donut right out of my hand. "Why are you smiling like that?" I didn't realize that I was smiling, my head snapped in her direction.
"Like what?" I looked at her innocently as I passed her and sat at the table. She followed me and sat across from me.
"Like someone asked you out on a date." I choked on my donut a little and looked at her.
"What? Oh and I know you don't have plans tonight, but I got invited to have dinner with the neighbors, some lady and her daughter, who is our age, your welcomed to join."
"You look like that over a dinner date?" She must not remember last night, singing in the hallway, and telling me about the 'hottie' which is a good thing.
"Yea, were meeting new people I'm excited. But movie marathon till then? She looked at me like I was hiding something, but she simply nodded her head and headed towards the couch with the box of donuts.
"I'm in, we don't have food here anyway so it's kind of like moochin, I'm all for the mooching."
I got up and walked into the living room, drinking the orange juice straight out of the carton, "Yea don't I know it." I said as I plopped down beside her.
"Oh my god Cal, get a cup."
"Nope!" I laughed as I handed her the carton. She took a swig of it and handed it back. "Were classy, plus we can save manners for later."
Aria and I shared a laugh, "Whatever you say mighty sister, anyhoo I get to pick the first movie." She smiled, Aria is the worst movie selector ever.
"Toy Story! Then we can just watch the second and third after! Were all set." She jumped up and down like a five year old. I never knew or hung out with an 18 year old kid. But that was Aria, unpredictable, and I Loved her for that, she brings the kid out in me at times and reminds me that were still young. (Which get us into trouble)
I didn't mind Watching Toy Story, it was me and Aria's favorite child hood movies, I didn't pay much attention to the screen though. My eyes keep wondering to the digital box below the television.
Yup 6 hours and 25 minutes till I met the mysterious blonde across the hall.
Please review... reviews give me the warm and fuzzies :)
