Traffic at the Pier

Chapter 2

AVA

We get a spot along the pool and put our stuff down, as soon as I get into the pool i catch Vanessa coming out of the hotel with that bright smile that I haven't seen in a while

"I'm guessing you got her number" I tell her
"No, well yeah but I also got a date" she shrieks in excitement

"Oh my god, really?" Carla ask in the same tone

"Yes!"

"When?"I ask, we had planned every day of the week, the only day we hadn't planned was Thursday, and I was hoping she would of chosen that day

"Today..."she says while looking down at the floor 

"Vanessa!, we were supposed to go to the pier today and look around"Carla says clearly disappointed

"I know that but she goes to Orlando tomorrow, she's gonna be traveling all summer" Vanessa says hoping we would let it slide

"Ok fine you can go, Carla and I will just go alone I guess"I say to her

"Thank you" she says smiling at both of us

Her and Carla get in the pool while the same guy that bumped into me earlier comes in minus a shirt

"He's cute" Vanessa says white hitting me with her shoulder

"He's a dick" Carla says before I can say anything

""How come?"

"He bumped into Ava and spilled his drink all over her and didn't even bother to apologize" Carla says in a hard tone

"Oh that's shitty...weren't you wearing your favorite shorts too?" I nod while Vanessa looks back at him

"He probably has a small dick"we all randomly start laughing at her joke even though it wasn't funny and we all know it.

Two hours pass by and we get back to our room and we all start getting ready

"So are you gonna tell us where you're going?" I ask Vanessa

"Yeah we are actually gonna go to the pier walk there, watch a movie, and go eat in a restaurant there"

"That sounds like fun...are you going with her or do we take you there?"I ask, we rented a white convertible at the airport because Vanessa has some type of obsession with convertibles, I get it they're nice but it's not my type of car.

"I have to meet her in the lobby in about 35 minutes, I gotta finish getting ready"she says looking both stressed and nervous at the same time. Carla and I make eye contact and smirk at her

"What?" Vanessa asks in a harsh tone

"Nothing..."Carla replies and Vanessa raises her eyebrow at us

"Okay we're just happy that you have moved in from... the devil" I add, I continue by saying "She did something to you but you now you are ready to try and continue"she smiles at me while she probably thinks how she has succeeded on moving away from that horrible year of her life.

"I have, and I'm ready" she gets her bag and looks at the time "I better get going you guys, have fun at the pier"

"You too" Carla and I say in unison

As soon as the door closes behind her Carla says to me "hopefully she gets some tonight"
I playfully swat at her
"She's not like that, mostly not on the first date"

"You never know"She replies in a very perverted tone whilst holding a smirk, I roll my eyes and finish my makeup, we head down and get in the car.
The drive to the pier is 5 minutes long we put our music in high volume when we also put the sealing of the car down just to be extra.

Once we arrive to the pier park we decided to take a few turns

"The guys here are cute" Carla tells me while looking out the window

"Mmm, yeah kind of... but you shouldn't be saying that you have a boyfriend"I responded to her comment

"So?, it's not like I'm gonna hook up with any of them, I have eyes I can look"

"You need to stop"

"I'm saying for you, hey want ice cream"

"Yes, and no I don't need anyone I say and hold onto the steering wheel harder" she can easily get in my nerves and it makes me want to slap her.

"I'm just saying"we stop at a red light for a few minutes right in front of a huge candy store and a small plaza

I put the music down because I'm feeling uncomfortable, I see a tall guy with brown curly hair coming towards the car but I ignore it, he comes out of the side walk to come to the drives side

"Hey" the cute stranger says to me

"Hi..." I reply

"So I was wondering if I could get your number?" The green light comes up and the cars in front of me start moving causing traffic.

"Umm" I notice that he was the guy that spilled his drink all over me earlier I turn to look at Carla and mouth "He's the one that bumped into me" She doesn't say anything.

"So?"he insists

I get the dumbest idea I have ever gotten and I give him my number while cars are honking at me

"Thank you" he smiles and leaves

I go on and Carla slaps her forehead at my stupidity.

"Why would you do that?"she looks at me

"I don't know..."

"you know how dumb you are because of this don't you?"

"Yes"
