18 Date. ?? (2/2)

”Bye.”

I have strayed into my bedroom with the phone. There's another from Jace from late last night or very early this morning, depending on your point of view.

My heart rate spikes instantly, and I hear the blood pumping in my ears. Holy crap… perhaps he's said no – that's it – maybe he's canceling dinner? But he was just telling me he just got back from New York, that he's in his apartment now here in San Francisco. My heartbeat accelerated.

But later on after Izzy went out to an interview  which she had with a Fashion Girl Company,  she'll be back before I go out.

.

My heart swells talking to Kessy, and a huge lump knots in my throat. We have a special bond that I treasure.

Even though he's my stepdad, he's always treated me as his own, and I can't wait to see him. It's been too long.

His quiet fortitude is what I need now, what I miss. Maybe I can channel my inner self for my meeting tomorrow.

Izzy and I concentrate on unpacking the remaining box in the kitchen,

The physical activity of unboxing everything up has been a welcome distraction, and I'm tired. I want a good night's sleep. I snuggle into my bed and am soon asleep.

”ring ring” ring ring”

I opened my eyes,  and washed up my face,  I ran down to get the door,  and to my widest surprise,  it was Jordan,  my mom friends son.

I was shocked to see Jordan, and I never knew he leaves in San Francisco and how the hell did he knows that we're now leaving in San Francisco and even my address?  Mom...? Ughhh
