I look down at the piece of paper Virginia just given me. I look up at her like "You aren't serious?" Because it was her phone number. I think to myself, "How can someone who I just met care about me so much?" That would be the only reason she would've given me that. After she handed me her number, I didn't know what to say to her. All I could muster up was "Thank you." She smiled at me and she had a little glint her eyes. It was from the moon.
Me: "Have we really been talking that long?"
Virginia: "Hmmm?"
Me: "What time is it?"
Virginia: "One second," she gracefully looks down at her watch and throws on an expression of shock, "11:26!"
Me: "Woah, what's the matter?!"
Virginia: "My parents want me back to the resort by midnight!"
Me: "Oh my gosh, I'm sorry I kept you..."
Virginia: "No, really, it was my fault."
Me: "Do you want me to give you a ride back?"
Virginia: "Um, I don't know if you know where the resort is..."
Me: "I'm sure I can find my way. And if not, you can help me."
Virginia's POV:
After he said that, he kind of winked at me. Was he just flirting with me? I thought to myself for a second and then said "Nahhh, that's just his personality..."
Me: "Only if James says it's okay..."
David: "I'm sure he'll think it's fine. But you can go ask him..."
I say I'll be right back and walk over to James, talking to Veronica...
James: "It looks like they're getting along well."
Veronica: "Yeah it really does, oh shut up, she's coming over here."
I knew exactly who they had been talking about, but why would they leave me with David to see how we were getting along...UNLESS...
Me: "You did not..."
James: "We didn't what?" he puts on a nervous laugh, he knows I've figured them out.
Me: "You bloody well know what you did!"
Veronica: "I don't believe we do..." she laughs. She knows I know.
Me: "Well then...shall I review? You invite to a fireside and don't bother telling me my idol and love is going to be there, you introduce me to him, leave us to talk, and then I hear you saying 'it looks like they're getting along well?' What do you bloody think I think?"
Kevin: "What seems to be all the hubbub?"
Me: "You're in on this too, aren't you?!"
He looks over to James and says, "Man, she's figured us out!"
James puts on a faker than fake smile and laughs, "We didn't tell her that yet, Kevin, but thank you." You can hear the anger in his voice that Kevin's spilled the beans.
Kevin: "Oh boy," he runs away.
James: "Well, you've heard all you need to hear."
Me: "Well, I bet you're happy now. He wants to drive me back to the resort."
Veronica: "Well aren't you?"
Me: "ABSOLUTELY..."
Veronica cuts me off and says in an obvious know-it-all tone..."Then what seems to be the problem?"
Me: "Nothing really!"
James: "Then why are you blowing a gasket if everything's fine!"
Me: "Because you set me up on a date without me knowing!"
James: "Hey, you said it was a date, not me!"
Me: "Well, I really just came over here to ask you if it was alright if he takes me back...is it?"
James: "Yeah, go have fun..."
Me: "James, Veronica, I'm sorry and could you tell Kevin the same? I shouldn't have blown up on you." I start turning around and walking back...
James: "Go, your prince charming is waiting..."
