STAR'S POV

I sigh as my phone starts ringing and without bothering to look away from the file on my table, I pick up the phone and answer it, placing it against my ear

"Hello?"

"I'm hungry" I hear almost immediately and I can't help the smile on my face as I recognize the voice

"Eat something then" I say, leaning against my chair

"Let's eat together, it's almost lunch time for you yeah?" She asks and I have to pause a bit to keep from aggressively showing my excitement and eagerness at her offer

"Well yes. Where do..." I trail off with a realization "Actually I can't have lunch with you today" I say

"Why not?"

Cause unfortunately I have plans.

I can't just be happy, can I?

"I already made lunch plans with Kira and..." I start and don't finish as she speaks

"Who is Kira?" She asks and from her tone, I can envision that frown of hers

"Um...you remember the woman I met...well that you helped me meet at the bar? That's her" I say

"I didn't realize you guys were still... talking" she says

"Well, we are"

"Why?"

"Huh?" I ask, not sure I understood the question

"Wrong question. Why are you still talking?" She asks and I'm unsure if I should laugh or not

"That's the same question, but longer"  I point out

"Yeah I know, so why?" She asks

"Um...I don't know, we just get along well I guess" I say "We've been meeting up a lot these days and she's..."

"She's the one you've been meeting?" She asks

"Yeah. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned that a few times before" I say

"Okay and was I interested?" She asks

"Not any more than you usually are but I assumed you were listening" I say

"I wasn't"

"Alright then"

"So you like this Kayla woman?" She asks

"Kira and yes, I mean she's really cool and she actually helped me get this job which is why I'm..."

Good for you" she says dryly before she hangs up and I can't help the frown on my face as I drop the phone to the table

Okay, what was that all about?

She's literally the one who encouraged me to give Kira a chance and now she's upset about it?

Can this woman not leave me confused every two seconds?

Really, really short chapter but whatever, I hope you enjoyed it.
