Love Me Now || Trayce Thompson

THIRTY FOUR

"Most of my calorie intake last week was coffee"

I smiled and poured coffee into two mugs.

"This can be our little secret" I told him.

I set the coffee pot and took a seat next to him.

"When are you done with school?"

He took a gulp of coffee as he looked at me.

"Second week of June" I said.

"So everything is either due this weekend of the following?"

"Yeah, and I got midterms as well" I stated as I cut of the French toast on my plate.

"Still?"

"I had one yesterday, and I have one Thursday" I listed off.

He nodded and reached for the syrup.

"It's why I've been kinda MIA" I said.

Trayce was a little bummed out that I didn't go to any of the games this weekend. He understood that I really needed to study for my exams. I had agreed to meet Nolan and I would be traveling to San Francisco to meet his brothers once I was done with my finals. Klay didn't let me pay for my flight, so I promised I would make him food.

"I didn't think you'd be home, your french toast is really good"

I smiled and turned when I heard Bailey cry from the small patio where he was sun bathing.

"Hey Bailey"

I stood up as the doorbell rung. I recognized the voice on the other side of the door, and I was not expecting her. My phone was upstairs in my room so there was a chance I had been warned.

"No fucking way" I said.

I rushed over to the door and laughed as I opened the door to see who it was.

"I'm back!"

I let out a sigh and shook my head as I smiled.

"I was not expecting you back until next week" I answered as I stepped forward for a hug.

"I messed up on the dates, sorry about that"

A hiss was heard as my closed fist made contact to the person's shoulder.

"Ow! What was that for?"

"For being gone almost 6 months" I stated.

"Hey now, you said you wouldn't use this against me"

"I didn't think you'd ignore me for 6 months" I admitted

"Well I am back and we have a lot to catch up on"

"Well I just started eating so you're going to have to wait" I said.

"And who might this be?"

I looked at Israel.

"Clara this is Israel" I started.

"Your boyfriend?"

I shook my head.

"No, Sonia's boyfriend actually" I told Clara.

Clara was my childhood friend, one of my close friends in fact.

"Little Sonia has a boyfriend?"

I nodded and she looked at me.

"What about you?"

"What about me?" I asked.

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

I glanced up as I heard Sonia.
