Felicity was utterly confused and quickly scrolled through the group chat to catch up- Two hours ago, in this circle of friends, Aurora Lopez dropped a tongue-out emoji.
Aurora: [Lol! I've dragged my bro into this madness too!] || || She had missed that message.
Perhaps tired of waiting for Felicity to reply, Miles just went ahead and sent a voice call invitation! She nearly jumped out of her skin, almost dropping her phone in the process.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtReturning to the States sure was rough on her phone, dropping it every now and then.
Swallowing hard, Felicity finally answered, "Hey, Langston, you're still up?" "Which bar?" No small talk from his end, straight to the point.
Felicity rolled her eyes and chuckled, "I managed to borrow scash, no need for you to hustle over here in the middle of the night!" "Who'd you borrow from?" Just as he asked, that darn Calvin texted her, urging her to get hfrom the club and not to stay out too late. So, Felicity blurted out, "Calvin!" "Your boyfriend?" "...Ah, right, my boyfriend." If he hadn't mentioned it, she'd almost forgotten herself.
"Can he drop you hafter you settle the bill?" "I'll just grab a cab!" "Felicity, sendthe nof the bar." His tone was commanding now.
She sighed, pausing for a few seconds before speaking softly, "Langston, you have a girlfriend. It wouldn't look right, you coming out to meetthis late." As a woman, Felicity felt empathy. If her boyfriend was going out to meet another girl late at night, especially one he had...other connections with, she'd feel a bit upset too.
Therefore, she had been trying her best to keep her distance from Miles.
"You're Karen's daughter, practically grew up withholding you, what's not right about that?" "But we...we've slept together." || || "Go to sleep, goodnight." She hung up before Miles could say anything else.
With no one replying in the group, her only resort was that goofball, Calvin.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe dialed him internationally, and he answered with a booming voice, "You scared the hell out of me! Why call all of a sudden? Can't you just WhatsApp?"

"So...do you have any cash? Just need a thousand, I'm short at the bar." Her account was running low, and her card wasn't linked properly.
"Whoa, whoa! You're actually askingfor money!" "Cut the crap, do you have it or not?" "Of course, I do. But how will you payback?" The corner of Felicity's mouth twitched in annoyance, "I'll one thousand one hundred, The hundred is intereeet belongs to en.kikistoriesCalvin wasn't interested in the interest, "Forget the one thousand one hundred, just doa favor." "What favor?" "I'll tell you when I get back to the States." With the server waiting patiently, Felicity grew impatient, "Fine, fine, just transfer it!" "Done!" After paying the bill, she stepped out of the bar into the chilly night air, goosebumps forming on her arms.
Suddenly, her phone chimed with a Whatnotification.
Felicity looked down to see a message from sister Aurora.
