I have not updated in forever. For that, I am sorry, but here's an update. It's extremely short, but it's still an update. I hope you all enjoy it.

(Lila's POV)
Several days had passed with me doing the same things everyday, but I enjoyed the routine. I would hang out with Evie during the day and Soda during the evening when he got off work. Evie and I had become friends after the night we had met at the Dingo. She seemed like a nice girl and though I loved the gang, I needed a friend that was a girl.
Soda and I still weren't a couple yet, but I didn't mind. I really liked him, but I also didn't want to rush into things. I had already done that before and it didn't turn out very well.
Evie and I were sitting in a booth at the Dingo waiting for Soda and Steve to get off work. We had opted to meet them there.
"So, Lila, you haven't told me much about New York," Evie said after taking a sip from her milkshake. "How was it?"
"It was good," I said. "I really miss it. I had quite a bit of friends there that I miss."
I left out some details.
"I bet Tulsa is warming up to you though, huh?" she asked smiling knowingly.
"You could say that," I said smiling. "There's some nice people here and I've made some great friends."
"I know one in particular," she said giggling. "Seriously, when are you two going to become a couple already?"
"I don't know," I said as I played with my straw. "It's kind of too soon to be thinking about that."
"Too soon my ass," she said. "You two have some chemistry going on. You like him and he likes you, so why not just make it official already? Y'all hang out everyday as it is."
"Yeah, but he was in a serious relationship not too long ago," I said. "I think it would be too soon to be in another one. Same goes for me. I just don't think me and him are ready for that yet."
Evie rolled her eyes and sighed. She seemed pretty frustrated.
"What?" I asked laughing.
"You and Soda, that's what," she said. "I mean you two are perfect for each other. I know it, you know it, he knows it, the whole damn world knows it."
"I don't think that's possible," I said being smart.
"You get my point," she said.
"Yeah," I said. "I know we have chemistry going on, but I bet him and Sandy did, too. Look how well that played out."
"You need to stop thinking about Sandy and him," she said. "It didn't work out for them and it was for the best because now he has you. You seem good for him."
I knew she was right. About the Sandy thing that is. Moments later, Steve and Soda walked in.
"Hello, ladies," Soda said scooting into the booth beside of me. "What have you two been up to?"
"Not a whole lot," I said leaning back.
Steve and Evie were whispering quietly to each other until Steve stood up along with Evie.
"We're goint to head out," he said. "See you later."
"Bye," Soda and I said in unison and watched as they walked out.
I still had the conversation with Evie stuck in my head while me and Soda stuck around the Dingo a little while longer.]
Please review to let me know what you all think. :)
