"Baseball" I answer, quickly deflecting her question
"Well that sucks for you I’d be going fking nuts if I had to go that long without hiet toabout Cooper We reach the car and both throw our bags in the backseat I climb into the driver’s seat and start up the car
"You knohere they opened that new club right?"
I nod, "Yeah"
I pull out of the parking spot and turn onto the highway My stomach is filled with a million butterflies and my hands are all clammy I send a silent prayer that Cooper isn’t there when I drop her off I can’t see hiht past the club, it’s changed so nized the place Instead of the old flaking red paint, the building has been freshly painted jet black with an eye catching, contrasting, blue trim They’ve added waterfall coluive the All the s that used to have bars on thelass so that you can see into the club The second story of the club now looks to be so They’ve done a three sixty with this place and I feel, I look for Cooper’s truck Thankfully it’s not here, there are only three cars in the parking lot, none of which I recognize I wonder who they have doing interviews for them since I don’t see Eli’s car either
I park in a spot between an SUV and a pick-up truck, figuring this would be a safe spot to hide in incase Cooper does show up
Layla reaches for the door handle, "Thanks again I’ll be as quick as possible"
Half s I say, "Good luck"
About a half hour has passed and I’ for Layla to co since she walked in A tall, well built, lasses and a black hat He walks inlot of a business that’s not open yet The alarh of relief I watch as the guy cli spot next tocrazy, I don’t knohy exactly because clearly Cooper wouldn’t be co to the interview this late, Layla has to be al through it and pull outI open up Facebook and scroll through my newsfeed A few minutes have passed and still no Layla
"What in the world is taking so long?" I say to myself
In the corner oflot
"Shit"
That’s Eli’s BMW I try sinking down in my seat so that I’ht next to my car
Goddamn it Of all the luck to have
I slowly sit up so it’s not too obvious that I was trying to hide but I keep e out on my phone
I hear Eli open his door and then shut it My heart is hao get coffee or so and had Layla text me when she was done I’er sideI look quickly and then back down tosurprised to see hih to fall for it
