Hooray! Update! Sorry it took so long. I've been so busy with school. I'm going to try to update every weekend or so, but I don't know how well that will work. Guess we'll find out.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Nina's POV
The cafe was called E's Cafe.
"Nines, this is the best cafe in all of England, probably the whole world!" Amber said as we walked through the door. I smiled at my old friend - it was so funny how much she loved coffee.
We walked up to the counter. "I've got it; you guys find somewhere to sit," Amber said. She called for a waitress.
I turned around and spotted an open booth near the window. "What about over there?" I asked, pointing to it. Fabian just nodded his head and started walking toward it. Alfie and I followed him.
Fabian slid in after me, and Alfie slid in across from us. It took Amber about three seconds to come join us.
"Wow. That was fast," I said, taking the cup she handed me. She still knew my favorite coffee, I thought. She really did miss me.
"Like I said - the best," she replied, giggling a little.
"So, what have you been up to, Nines?" Alfie asked after taking a sip of his drink.
"Well, I was working at a law firm in Los Angeles, but then Fabian and I caught up, and...here I am," I said, gesturing to myself.
"Oh no, here comes the Wicked Witch of the West," Amber said, suddenly becoming very interested in her coffee cup. I was confused, until I saw her reflection behind me in the napkin container. Ann was here.
We were all silent as she passed by us. She looked at Fabian, saw he wasn't looking, then sent me a death glare. I sent one right back at her. Amber saw a giggled for a moment.
"You're glare is way better than hers," Amber said, once Ann was out of earshot. I sent her a small smile. Although I wasn't going to admit it, I felt a little uncomfortable with Ann here.
"Why do I feel like she's watching us?" Alfie asked, moving awkwardly.
"Because she is," Fabian said, after stealing a quick glance in her direction.
"We should go. I don't have a good feeling about this, and knowing that Ann is staring at us isn't helping," Amber said. I agreed.
"Alright, let's go then. We can go visit Patricia, if you want," Fabian said to me, taking my hand when I was out of the booth.
"Yeah, okay. I really can't wait to see her," I said, grabbing my coffee from the table.
"Well, tell her we said hi. Alfie and I have a dance lesson to attend," Amber said, leading Alfie out of the door. I laughed.
"A dance lesson?" I asked.
"I have no idea, and frankly, I don't know if I want to," Fabian said, laughing with me. He took my hand and walked towards Patricia's apartment.
Okay, so Patricia's apartment really wasn't that far away. We just took a left at the end of street, walked a block or so, and there it was. To be honest, I was a little scared to go up, considering how tall it was, and the fact that Patricia lived on the 60th floor! I swore I was gonna die.
Fabian knocked on the door, and Patricia answered it. "Fabian, Nina!" she said, smiling wide. She stepped out into the hallway and hugged me tight. "I missed you so much!"
"I missed you too!" I said, hugging her with equal force. She stepped back and held me at arms length.
"Seriously, I did," she said, a serious expression on her face. It quickly changed into laughter. I smiled at my old friend.
"Mine was too."
"Alright, well, are you guys gonna come in, or are we gonna stay out here all day?" she asked, stepping back into her apartment, then opening the door wide for Fabian and I."Come on in!" Fabian and I stepped through the threshold.
Patricia's apartment was really nice. Like, rich people nice. Of course, she is rich...at least her parents are. There were purple and black drapes over the windows in her living room, a black leather couch and chair, a flatscreen TV, a glass coffee table, the whole nine yards.
"Wow, Patricia, I love your house," I said.
"Thanks," she said, smiling at me. I noticed a picture frame beside the flatscreen TV. I walked over to see it. It was of Patricia and Eddie. He had his arm around her shoulders and she was leaning into him. They were both smiling, their eyes shining. In the backround was a wallpaper that looked very familiar. Where have I seen that before? I thought. Then I remembered - Anubis house.
So that's it for now. The next chapter will be about their visit at Patricia's house
