It's been 5 days ever since the night at the bar and I slept with Lucas. Lucas and I had seemed to hit it off, even after we slept together. I had gotten his number and we had started to text back and forth, even call. Lucas was more romantic than I thought. We seemed to be building a relationship even if we had just met.

"So... how are you and Lucas?" Lola asked as she swung herself against the wall just ahead of the kitchen where I was chopping some carrots.

"We're good.... he seems to understand my sadness, even though he has never lost his mother or father. I think I'm falling in love." I admitted honestly, it felt good to get a secret off my chest to Lola. But after I told her that she didn't seem to be happy.

"With a man you just met?" Lola asked, her voice seemed to deepen, and I felt the hair everywhere on my body stick up. "Lola... I'm not saying I feel it, feel it. But he seems to truly care." I said, setting down the knife and looking at Lola's expressionless face. "You slept with him... he probably just wants to keep getting in your pants." Lola said, I slammed my fist down. "Lola! Why would you speak so terribly about someone? That isn't you." I said, Lola sighed, then nodded her head.

"You're right... I'm sorry." Lola said, looking down to the ground. I sighed myself to see her at the state of sadness she was in. I walked to her and grabbed ahold of her hand. "If I get hurt... that's on me, okay?" I reassured, hugging tightly onto my dearest, and longest friend, before I went back to prepping a dinner.

Lola's POV:

I turned away and out of the kitchen. Walking outside, quietly shutting the door behind me, I unlock my phone and dial a friend's number.

"Yes, dear?" I hear his ravishing, deep British accent speak through the phone. "She has a new lover she's beginning to ravish... are we allowed to come soon? If you don't make the wedding plans, she'll probably get married to this new man of hers." I spoke deeply, Christina has no idea what she has just done by saying she loves a new man other than a wonderful groom back in England.
