Chapter Six: Change of Plans
So I waited and waited and waited to see what the next phase would be. It had been about a week since I last spoke to Benji. Out of nowhere I got a text from Nick.
Nick: Hey did you still want me to show you around?
Me: Ah...yeah!
Nick: Would Benji mind?
Me: Well it's not like we're going on a date
Nick: Right well how about Saturday morning at 11? We can meet at the Pier.
Me: Santa Monica?
Nick: The very one.
Me: Okay see you then.
I couldn't believe I was going out with Nick even though I knew it wasn't an outing outing, it was something.
Then Benji texted me.
Benji: So you're going out with Nick?
Me: Yeah he's going to show me around.
Benji: Don't.
Me: Why not?
Benji: Because you don't want to seem available.
Me: But I really want to be shown around especially by him.
Benji: Trust me when I say this will work if you do as I say. Now tell him that you already have plans.
Me: But I just said I could go.
Benji: Okay and change it. And tell him they're with me.
I sighed before texting back Nick.
Me: Sorry Nick I just realized I won't be able to go out with you today. I totally forgot I made plans with Benji.
Nick: That's okay.
Me: Rain check?
Nick: Sure.
I texted back Benji.
Me: It's done.
Benji: Good. Now get dressed. I'm going to show you around.
Me: You don't have to do that.
Benji: I want to.
Me: Okay.
