Meant to be

testing the waters part 2

Erica drove to work happy as hell. Not even the traffic could her her down. She walked in just as nichole was parking her car.

Nichole: wait, Erica. Hold the elevator for me please.*locking her car door and running inside*

Erica:morning  Nichole.

Nicki: morning, about yesterday.

Erica: its in the past, already forgotten.

Nicki: good, so I was wondering, if you would like to go to the movies this tonight.

Erica: sorry, I already have plans to just relax at home.

Nicki: well how about I come over. We can order take out.

Erica: nichole, my girlfriend would drown me. I happen to like being alive. And after what happen yesterday, I don't think the two of you should be in the same breathing space.

Nicki: girlfriend? I thought you said you was single, yesterday.

Erica: I was earlier, but I'm not anymore*cheesing*

Nichole: hmmm. Maybe she just like you for your money. She seem like the gold digging type.

Erica: stop saying stuff you have no knowledge about. If anyone a gold digger its you.

Nichole: you know my dad got money. So don't be ridiculous.

Erica: exactly your dad. Not you.  From what I understand, he cut you off so your nearly surviving on that nurse salary with your extravagant lifestyle. No more lipo for you. Bye bye now*walking away and greeting the staff at the front desk. 

Erica had chats to finish writing up, by the time 9 o clock rolled her first appointment started.  She had appointment back to back. Around 10:30 her phone rang. She looked at the contact and saw a image of cyn sleeping on the screen. She smiled and swiped to answer.

Erica: hi princess.

Cyn: hi, how's your day going?

Erica: hectic. But I welcoming the distraction.  How are you.

Cyn: ok, i just finish tidying up. Albee bringing over two of his cousins and three friends. Is that ok with you?

Erica: why you asking me.

Cyn: well its your house.

Erica: cyn, its your bar b que. You can invite who you want. Once you save me a plate.

Cyn: of course. Well I'll see you later ok.

Erica: bye

Cyn hung up and erica was still smiling like a fool at the phone when she heard her door close.

??: she sounds nice.

Erica: she is.

??: so who is this mystery girl.

Erica: her name is cyn and she been the love of my life since the first day I met her.

??: and how long ago was that. Cause I've known you since med school and you never talked about no one named cyn.

Erica: Edward, you've been in my home. You remember the picture frame in the living room. The one with me hugging a little girl with long brown hair.

Edward: ya, you said her name was Cynthia I think.

Erica: well, cyn is short for Cynthia. She just moved here and long story short, she's now my girlfriend

Edwards: dang, I happy for you. I mean you been alone forever. I was being to think you was going to join a nunnery.
