Chapter Twenty › If So
Ivy's POV
"Jensen and Jared pranked Misha, big time!" I chuckled.
"Oh really?!" Lucy nodded and giggled further, sipping slowly at the coffee.
"Yeah! Pie in the face!"
"Classic!" I smirked and took a sip at my own coffee. "God Luce, haven't seen you this happy in a while." Simpering, I sip again. "I'm happy that you are." Lucy smiles.
"Thanks Ivy." I nod, smiling face once again. "I know relationships haven't been your thing ever since Liv died." Bowing my head, I touched my necklace.
"I know... but..." I tuck my necklace back into my shirt. "I shouldn't let my own life affect anyone else's."
"But you should also let it not effect your own." Lucy sighs. "Move on Ivy." She rubs my shoulder. "She'll always be in your heart and mind." I simper.
"I know I should, for my own good." Lucy nudges me.
"Would you mind moving on, for me?" Lucy laughs. "I'm your friend, and I want to see you happy... I don't want to hog it all!" She smiles.
"You and Ben seem to be doing well." I scoff.
"Not sure about that yet."
"I think you two will be a great match." I take another sip of my coffee and glance at my watch. "Waiting are we?"
"Hm?"
"Who are you waiting for?"
"Some friend." I lean forward. "Are... you and Tom okay?" Lucy looks away. "Look I am sorry... I know I-"
"No, it is fine." Lucy smiles slightly. "Just some... complications. I know you're only asking because I am your friend."
"I am." I place my hand on top of hers. "I want you to be happy. Besides, if Tom did-"
"He did." I frown.
"Pardon?"
"Something happened between me and him and, I don't want to... let it go further and he actually agreed." I raise an eyebrow.
"Well... that's good."
"I liked him, but I guess sometimes I have to move on, finding Jensen and all." I smile.
"I'm sorry I..." I felt bad.
"It's fine I, I know you're looking out for me so..." She smiled back. "Thank you."
Benedict's POV
"Tom, seriously, are you two okay? I don't want her kicking my ass if you did anything wrong." Tom chuckles on the other side of the phone.
"Come on Ben, I know that you'd take the rap for me." I shook my head.
"So it went wrong?"
"No, no. I apologised. She accepted. You know the normal routine." I smile.
"I am glad." Sighing, I walk out of the building.
"Where you off too Benny boy?"
"Just meeting Ivy for a coffee." Tom cheers.
"Yay! Finally found someone? Other than me of course. I like Hiddlesbatch. It's cute."
"Tom, we are buddies. Not... I won't even go there." I smirked and rammed my way through lots of people.
"I'm kidding man. We are just friends. But, what kind of meeting is this?" I shake my head and smile. "It is a getting-friendly meeting or taking-it-slow-meeting?"
"Neither Tom!" I groaned and walked through the doors of the coffee shop.
"You there?" I breath out.
"Yeah, I better go." I move the phone from my phone.
"Ben!" I hear Tom's voice.
"Yeah?"
"Go get her." He growled and laughed and I rolled my eyes as I put the phone down.
I let out a sigh and fiddling with my strap as I put my phone into my pocket.
Peering over a few heads, I went towards the corner, Lucy and Ivy giggling.
"Ladies." I smirk and Lucy looks up. Ivy does not.
"I better go then." Lucy picks up her bag and Ivy fiddles with a pen. "See you later I." She cuddles Ivy, before leaving the coffee shop.
"Can I..." Ivy swallows.
"Yeah, yeah! Sit." I take my bag and coat off. "You might want to get something to keep you awake. We may be here for some time..."
I yawn. "Yeah, make sure you aren't tired." Moving forward, I lower my voice.
"Are we talking about work?"
"Yes..." Ivy frowns. "What else?"
"N-nothing." I say, coughing.
Well, that wasn't awkward.
"I need your creative ideas then so..."
Ivy began, and I followed.
This was going to be a tiering, yet interesting afternoon.
Or at least, however long this was going to be.
