Explain Yourself
A day later.
Nikki: Hello? ARE YOU ALIVE?!
Cale: Yes. Sorry. Caught up on stuff. I have some things to tell you.
Nikki: THE HELL YOU DO! OMG FREAKING KIERAN RAOUL? R U KIDDING ME?
Cale: Give me a few more days.
NIKKI: DAYS?! I’M FREAKING OUT HERE. Also, Brad is serious about trying for a relationship. What do you think? I need my girl’s input.
Cale: Are you serious? I knew that was the reason for the party, to make up for the shitty Halloween that you had, but … What are you thinking?
Nikki: I have no idea. None. I need you to come and tell me what his energy is saying.
Cale: Okay. Just hold off. I need a few more days with Kieran and then I’ll be back.
Nikki: OMG! KIERAN. I can’t. Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit. He rules the other half of the world, literally.
Cale: Dude. I’ve not even told you about Rakon.
Nikki: RAKON?!
Two days later.
Nikki: I can’t wait any longer. What’s going on? I need to know.
Cale: lol I know. There’s a lot of changes going on.
Nikki: I can only imagine.
Cale: A few more days?
Nikki: What about your classes?
Cale: I had my last exam. That’s getting worked out too.
Nikki: Okay. I miss you. Jay asked about you.
Cale: Jay?
Nikki: He was in the cages with us. He fought for you.
Cale: I had no idea.
Nikki: He’s saying he’s just concerned about you, about Kieran. He’s sniffing, being nosey.
Cale: That’s none of his business. How are things with Brad?
Nikki: You’re just trying to distract me.
Cale: Yes. Did it work?
Nikki: YES! Now I can only think about Brad. Let’s have an actual conversation tomorrow. I’m heading to Bass for a shift. Guess who are being super friendly to me? Trey and EVERYONE. I’m loving it. They’re all kissing my ass because of you. Anyways, love you girl. Miss you. I have to babysit Bud tomorrow too, so a phone call would be awesome.
Cale: Yes right back. Grrr to Trey and everyone else. Stay sane with Bud. Follow your gut with Brad. You might have to just try it to get him/it out of your system?
Later that night.
Nikki: Yeah.
Cale: What?
Nikki: Brad showed up at Bass during one of my breaks…
Cale: You opened your bedsheets for him?
Nikki: I’m weak. We’re going to try.
Cale: Now you’ll know, though. I’m being supportive for you trying. But, if it goes bad, you’ll finally know.
Nikki: I’d rather know more about you and your MATE!
Cale: lol soon. Promise. Love you lady.
Nikki: Love you back.
