It wasn't until the next day when I called up Charlotte and Donna. We met up downtown at the coffee shop and I was surprised to find Donna with a bunch of sparkle pens and two pink and purple sparkly notebooks. Charlotte noticed me first and gave me a huge smile while waving me over to the door. We found a spot by the window and ordered a couple of sodas.
"So what's with all the stationary?" I asked motioning to Donna's laid out gear.
"We're gonna write down a lists of names of girls who could be a perfect match for Andre," Charlotte replied and I nodded.
"Okay, cool," I said "the sooner I find him a girlfriend the sooner he'll quit whining about not having one."
Donna and Charlotte giggled and once our drinks were out, we got to work. About thirty minutes we only had a couple of names jotted down.
"What about Mary Michelson?" Donna asked.
"You mean 'I'm Miss perfect and I want you to do everything I say'. You mean that Mary Michelson?"
Donna crossed her name of the list "You're right," she said "she's too fake."
"Um, what about Tasha Adkins?"
I glared at Charlotte. Even the mention of her name made me angry.
"Hell no Charlotte. I will not have one of my best friends dating that…that skank!"
Charlotte cringed "Oh yeah," she looked down into her glass "I forgot what happened."
Donna flinched "Yeah," she crossed off Tasha's name "so not gonna go there."
I sighed as I tried to calm my breathing down a bit. Tasha Adkins is literally a boyfriend stealer and once she saw that my Greg became a hottie, as she annoyingly puts it, she instantly tried to swoop him up in her claw like grasp. Tasha flirted, met up with him at his locker, bought him lunch and even tried to kiss him a couple of times. It got to the point where she would verbally abuse me and call me names like ugly whore and what not. There were some low life things she did to try to take Greg away from me. There were points in Greg's and I relationship where I would feel like I didn't belong with him. I'll admit, there were some times when I thought her actions would have Greg tugged to the dark side.
"Hey! Kaylee! Snap out of it," Charlotte put her hand on my arm "I'm sorry I brought her up. I wasn't thinking."
"It's okay Charlie."
After that, we gave up trying to come up with girls for Andre and decided to play games like Hangman, Tic-Tac-Toe, MASH…we even made our own little Fortune Teller out of Donna's notebook paper. I had so much fun that I didn't notice that my phone went off until Donna pointed at it.
I unlocked my phone and smiled when I read the first text sent by Greg.
Hey Love! Having a good time with Donna and Charlotte? Hope you're having fun. I love you baby.
Donna and Charlotte giggled and smiled knowingly at me "Was that Greg?"
I rolled my eyes and muttered "Shut up," before texting my boyfriend back.
Hey baby! Yes I am having fun. We were making up a list of girls from our school for Andre but having no such luck. It seems like Andre's dream girl lives in a different state.
I heard giggling and lifted my head up towards my friends "What are you two giggling about now?"
Donna shook her head "Nothing,"
"It's just you look like a love sick puppy," Charlotte finished "You've got it bad girl."
I shook my head as my phone vibrates against the table "Quit teasing me."
That WOULD happen to him. I'm actually hanging out with him right now…he says hi.
Laughing I typed back:
Tell him I said hello! Oh and also tell him that I am giving up searching for his dream girl…it's nearly impossible.
"Oh! What about your friend Sara?"
My head snapped up from my phone again "I don't know guys…" I trailed off "honestly I really don't know."
"Okay what's the problem?" Donna asked "You know they would be good together, so what's stopping you from hooking them up?"
Another sigh escaped from my lips "I just don't want to see them get hurt if this doesn't work out."
"You never know until you try," Charlotte said.
Reluctantly I sighed "Fine," I said "I'll talk to Sara about it."
Not too long after, I got another text from Greg:
Hey Kay! This is Andre typing…not loverboy and WHY IS IT IMPOSSIBLE?! She's out there! I can feel it!
"Charlie?" I spoke not looking up from my phone.
"Yeah?"
"Your brother is a drama queen."
Charlotte scoffed "You think I don't know that?" She said "Just the other day, mom wanted him to take out the trash and he started giving a speech about child abuse. In the end mom sprayed him with the hose from the backyard."
Donna and I laughed "Oh wow,"
I texted Andre this time knowing I would get confused as to whom I was talking to:
Stop being over dramatic Andre, okay? I have a girl in mind and I'll talk to her tomorrow. Will that make you happy…yah big baby!
My phone went off again:
You are seriously amazing Kaylee! Who is she? Do I know her? When I can I meet her? Is she pretty?
"Oh good lord," I muttered under my breath "give me strength."
Tell me something I don't know and no I will NOT tell you…at least not until I have talked to her. So stop asking me! But yes…she's a beauty.
Donna, Charlotte and I parted soon after and I walked home by myself. As I walked by the Feder house, Becky was playing the front yard and Mrs. Feder was out on the deck watching her. She noticed me and waved "Hello Kaylee! How are you darling?"
"I'm good Mrs. Feder…and yourself?"
Mrs. Feder motioned me to come over and I walked past their mailbox "Oh honey, you don't know how good is that I'm outside for a change! I've been inside cleaning all day but the morning sickness hasn't been making it any easier."
"Morning sickness…Mrs. Feder are you pregnant?"
Mrs. Feder smiled "Yes! I found out a couple days ago. I'm surprised you didn't know. Didn't Greg tell you?"
At that moment my boyfriend stepped outside "No…he certainly did not tell me." I folded my arms and tapped my foot impatiently.
"What?" Greg asked "What did I do?"
Mrs. Feder smiled as I slapped her son's shoulder "How could you not tell me your mom was having a baby?"
Greg wrapped his arms around me and leaned down to press a soft kiss against my lips "I honestly forgot to tell you. I'm sorry." He pouted and I sighed.
"You're lucky you're cute," I said before leaning up to kiss him "and that I love you."
Greg smiled "I love you too."
We didn't notice Mrs. Feder still standing there until we heard her squeal "My son is in love! My son is in love!" she gushed and pulled us both into a hug. I stumbled not expecting her to do so but smiled anyway. When she pulled back, Mrs. Feder slapped Greg upside his head.
"Ow mom! What was that for?"
"How could you not tell me you're in love with Kaylee! This is huge news!"
I laughed at her playful glare towards her eldest son as Greg tried to weasel his way out of this one.
I am honestly the luckiest girl in New England right now.
AN: Sorry it took a while to post this! Usually what I do is update at night when I can't fall asleep and right now I am wide away. Thought I would do something productive. Again I am sorry for making you all wait!
