Chapter 9

Bianca's P.o.V.

I was awake but hadn't opened my eyes. My arm was hanging off my twin bed and I could feel my feet being played with by two fluffy smooth paws. I smiled and opened my crusted sealed eyes, wiping away drool. I turned on my back and streched. My Rag Doll cat named Toby. He purred against my side, and I rubbed my eyes and looked up at my clock, it read. 9:38 a.m. I immediately jumped up out of my bed and tripped over my heels I had worn the night before. I had twenty minutes to get dress and get my ass to work. As I tripped I hit my head on my wall, I hated my small apartment. I grabbed a pair of pants from teh floor adn shirt, wrapped my hair into a bun and ran out the door. I had just made it on tie. I ran to my post and let out a deep breath. There was no costumers only one other waitress and I. The cooks come at eleven to start getting main dishes ready, I was only to work for a few hours to clean the restaurant before opening.
"Hey, you made it!" Lucy my only friend at the restaurant, said.

"Yeah. Where were you last night?" I asked strapping on my apron and headed towards the storage closest to get the mop. She followed.

"Went on a date with Sean, my boyfriend. And caught up on some sleep." She said trying to make eye contact with me stretching out the words date and boyfriend. I poured soap into the mop bucket and acted like i heard nothing.

"Did you hear me? Date? Boyfriend?" she stressed out the words once more.

"Yes I heard you." I said smiling knowing where teh conversation was going.

"Soo when is it going to happen?"

"When are you going on a date?"

"Meet a guy, a boyfriend? Get rid of teh toys and get man!" she protested. I stood there laughing I had heard this speech a hundred times.

"I met a guy." I said beginning to mop.

"Ha! what's his name?"

"Liam, except he was a total mess. I think he was homeless or lost." I said sounding serious and thinking about if he was homeless or crazy.

"Where did you meet him, what did he look like?" she asked wiping the tables and chairs.

"You know that ice cream shop by my apartment?"

"Yeah."

"There he was, wearing dark sunglasses that engulfed his face, a baseball cap wher his hair stuck out." I said and paused.

"And? How did you guys like meet?"

"Well I want to ask for my favorite ice cream and it turned out he had ordered the last scoop. He offered it to me, i took it and we walked along the side walk, though he got an urgent call adn i gave him the restaurants card."

"Did you talk to him? Or was it an awkward walk?" she asked as she put the chairs back on top of teh tables for me to finish mopping.

"Yeah a little, he was nice but I didn't pay much attention towards him."

"Hope to see him again?" she yelled from the other side of the restaurant.

"Eh, it doesn't mater. He deserves a second chance, then I'll judge."

-Later that night-

*Hey Bianca call me back when you can, okay. Bye*

I heard my cousin Cynthia's voicemail as I walked into my apartment.

I put down my grocery bag and dialed her number.

*eeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrr*

*eeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrr*

*eeerrrrrrrrrrrrrr.*

"Hello?" I heard her voice say.

"Hey did you need something?" I asked sitting down on the couch looking around for Toby.

"Yeah, I just wanted to know if you are coming to my graduation?" She asked as I threw one of Toby's toys towards the bedroom seeing if he'd come out.

"When is it? Are you combining your birthday with graduation?" I asked.

"Yeah, and I also wanted to know when you would go London?" she sounded hesitant to ask.

"Okay yeah I'll come but I wont move to London till late July earlyAugust, I'd fly you out here but my apartment is too small." I said sadly.

"Yeah, I know." she sounded dissapointed.

"You can help pick out the apartment with me, the week I fly out there." I said trying to cheer her up.

"OH MY GOD! Really?! That would be awesome!" She said in a high pitched voice.

I laughed and said. "Okay I'll call you later." and hung up.
