Rachel sat on her bed, her back propped comfortably against her pillows as she looked to her phone. She knew she was hoping for a miracle, she had just spoken to Noah only an hour or so earlier and even still, it was a shock to her system seeing him and she had a feeling he was probably feeling the same.
Her television was on in the background with some trashy reality show playing. She was only half paying attention as her eyes kept looking to her phone for a message or call that probably would never happen or if it did, would be on another day.
She must have stared at the phone for a good half an hour before her eyes moved to the clock that hung on her wall. 1am it read and as she saw the time, she let out a heavy sigh.
Why she was so upset over no calls or messages? Was beyond her. She never got like this, ever. In fact, she usually found it funny when the girls came into work all hung up over some guy that never called.
They spoke for a good five minutes if that. She had no idea if he were seeing anyone or if he were only nice to her face. With Noah, she just never knew but she hoped that wasn't the case.
When her phone did buzz, she almost dropped it out of fright. Though when she saw it was an unknown number and the words, 'Hey Rach!' stream across the screen, her heart started pounding and those butterflies soon came back.
"Shit." She mumbled as the phone fell out of her hands but thankfully landed on her bed and not on the floor. She would have cried or something worse if the phone had fallen onto the ground and broke.
After picking up the phone, she swiped her finger across the screen and opened up the message.
'Hey Rach.' She started reading and instantly she smiled when she saw Noah's name. 'You're probably asleep if not, sweet but If you are and I wake you, I'm sorry! I just wanted to message you before I head off to bed.' The more she read, the more she grew happier. 'So I have tomorrow night free, would you mind if I came to the show tomorrow?'
Of course she was quick to respond and moved her fingers quickly as if her life depended on it against the screen. 'Hey! I wasn't asleep. Was just up watching a bit of Television but of course. The show starts at 7 so try and be there about 6 or so and I'll have a ticket waiting at the ticket counter for you.'
After pressing send, she ended up turning her TV off and her little lamp that sat on her beside table. She ended up laying her head down on her pillow and smiled at her phone. She didn't know why she was doing it but she continued to read and re-read the message he sent until her phone vibrated in her hand.
She read the smiley face first; her own face broke out in smile just from that.
'I'll be there. I can't wait, Rach. You're going to be amazing.'
Of course her smile on grew and she found herself beaming in true happiness as her face was completely lit up with the brightest of smiles.
'Perfect! Did you need a second ticket or just one?'
Rachel didn't know why she sent that next question but she hated herself for it as she was scared to see what he would write back. It's not like he was hurting anyone if he did have someone he wanted to take but she knew deep down, it would hurt her even if she didn't want to admit it.
'No, just the one. Maybe we could get a bite to eat after though? Anywhere you like, it will be my shout.'
As she read the next message, her mind was put at ease to some degree but she still worried. She jumped at the chance for dinner though and quickly responded with, 'Food sounds amazing, count me in.'
