Are you really that busy?

Start from the beginning
                                    

My face softened

"No, don't. We won't learn from our mistakes by pushing each other away. We already pointed out the problem and now we have to find a way to fix it" I said

She just nodded

"We'll be okay" I said

"Okay" she said

"Okay" I copied

"Can we hug now?" She asked

That caused me to laugh

"Yes we can hug" I opened my arms

She didn't hesitate to fall into them and hold me tight. Almost like she's been needing this hug for a while

"Dalton still isn't really communicating with me" she said into the hug

"I'm sure he's just busy. I don't know what's going on with him" I said

"I wish I knew" she said pulling away from the hug

"I can try and give him a call in a few" I said

"That would be great" she smiled

"Then I will do that" I said

"Thank you" she replied

There was a short lived silence with occasional sighs

"Well I'll let you get up and take a shower. Sorry for waking you" she apologized

"It was time to get up anyways. Don't worry about it" I smiled

She just smiled back as she got up from the bed and walked out of my room

"Oh hey y/n!" Dalton picked up the phone enthusiastically

"Hey Dalton, how's it going out there?" I asked

"It's going good. I somehow managed to convince three people to move to California and look into the company for their house" he said

"Wow that's great! You're really helping the company out" I said

"I'm trying my best" he said with a smile evident in his voice

"How is everything over there?" He asked

"It's good. I only go into the office a few times a week since there's only like three of us" I explained

"Wow lucky you" he said

I shrugged even though he couldn't see it

"How are you and Dakota?" He asked

"Oh he didn't tell you?" I asked

"No, what?" He asked

"We broke up" I said

"What why? Should I kill him?" He asked

That caused me to laugh

"No it was a mutual decision" I said

"Why though?" He asked

"I'll tell you about when you get back" I said

"You're going to make me wait all that time?" He asked

"Yup" I said popping the p

"Damn" he replied

"And Ariana? Have you talked to her?" He asked

"She's actually been staying with me" I said

"Oh really?" He asked

"Yea" I replied
