Vee's POV

I was super hyped when the day had arrived! I couldn't believe that we were actually about to skydive! Chrystal didn't have to talk me into it when she brought it up, because this was just up my alley. She knew that I love all types of adventure that allows me to experience that adrenaline rush that I crave, so despite the nervousness I felt as we parked the car and headed up to the office to check in, I was so ready to do this!

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my goooood!" Chrystal's hands were a trembling mess as we stood aside as Laurent spoke to the woman at the front desk.

"Don't flake on me bitch!" I told her through spouts of laughter, using her nervousness for my pleasure of entertainment.

"Ugh! I don't know if I can do this Vanika!"

"Ugh, ughn! You're not sitting this one out! You invited me, not the other way around, so you have to do it! How many people can say that they've been skydiving before? Plus, if we die, at least we'll go out with a bang!" I said while laughing, clutching my stomach as I was bent over at my waist.

I knew this would get to her, but I wasn't expecting, nor was I planning on making Chrystal shoot to the corner of the room to where the small trash bin by the waiting chairs was, to vomit in it. Lau paused his conversation with the woman at the counter and went over to Chrystal to see if she was okay.

I walked over to her as well. I couldn't be the good friend that I needed to be, by holding her hair and rubbing her back like most would, because I couldn't stand the site or smell of vomit. To save her from me throwing up all over her back, I just stood a few feet away, telling her how everything would be alright.

"See, now you got that out of your system, you can definitely do it now!" I said jokingly.

She lifted and turned her head slightly in my direction, spitting in the remnants of her breakfast from this morning that lingered in her mouth, into the trash, and glared at me.

LARRY

(THE FOLLOWING CONVERSATION HAPPENS IN FRENCH)
"Bro, I just pulled into the parking lot. Where you park?"

"We already in the building Larry. It's the brown one- well, it's basically the only building you see out here."

I heard Lau on the phone guiding Larry to the area we were. Needless to say, I was surprised to know that he was coming. I shot a glance over to Chrystal who wasn't even paying attention to me, because she was taken slow deep breaths to subside her nausea, wiping her mouth with a paper towel the receptionist had given her.

After Lau hung up the phone, he finally noticed me standing in front of him, staring.

"Hey, Variete! You ready?"

"Um, yeah, so Lau, who was that?!" I asked cocking my head to one side, already knowing the answer.

"Oh is nobody." He tried to hold back a grin.

"I heard you say his name, so stop trying to front. You never told me that asshole was coming!" Whilst I was excited to see Larry again, I was also pissed at the fact that he had a distant, stanky attitude the last time we saw one another at Chrystal's apartment.

"Chrystal, come!" Lau gestured towards Chrystal with a wave from his hand.

She slowly trudged over, giving me the evil eye.

"Yo." She said, unenthusiastically.

"Okay, V know our plan." He said, facing me with eyes in attention towards her.

I cut in, "Wait... plan?! Okay, what the fuck are you talking about Laurent?!"

They both explained everything to me. Although I pretended to be 100% pissed off, half of me was dying inside to see Larry again. The kiss we shared that night was short of amazing. And even though he had a chick answering his phone, I couldn't be upset. Not only were we not together, but I know that as a young man, he was bound to have chicks lined up to the brim, trying to be with him.

"He say he walk here now. S'il te plaît V, do'n be mad for me!"

Lau was giving me the cutest sad puppy dog face I've ever seen in my life. He was 6'4", but the face he was giving, gave me the impression that the man was 4'6".

I shrugged it off, "Just make sure you run it by me, the next time you guys decide to 'surprise' me!" I said, making quotations marks in the air with my fingers and giving my attention toward both Chrystal and Lau.

As soon as they said yes, we turned our attention to the opening door. We heard a girl saying, "Why the fuck you walking too fass papi? This shoes no make fer run een!"

I thought it was another couple, as the girl came in the door, with a man obviously holding it for her, still standing outside.

I turned my attention towards the tv's lined up on the walls, playing sliced clips of others' experiences. That is, until I heard, "I know I should tell you non to wear this shoes!"

My head snapped back at the recognition of Larry's voice, where our eyes met for the first time in a long time.
