The abuser

Chapter Three

                                                                                            Jill's POV

Okay, Lidia spill. We all want the details of what he's like and why you were all over him. Did you like him? Have you heard from him yet? Calm down Jill, let her answer one question at a time after we order our food, said Heather. I don't want to wait, I'm just curious about what is going on between the two of them. I mean they were inseparable last night. I looked at Lindia and noticed she was not saying anything. What's wrong Heather and I asked at the same time. 

                                                                                    Lidia's POV

I love being with my friends, but why all the questions. Nothing is going on between Craig and me, in fact, I haven't heard from him since last night, I told them. I don't really care if I hear from him or not, its not like we know each other or boyfriend/girlfriend. If he wants to contact me he knows how to do it, can we please just eat and have fun and not concentrate on boys. I get it you both are happy and in love, I just want to get on my own two feet before I settle down. I do not want to have to rely on a guy for things I want or need, I am too independent for that. 

                                                                                Heather's POV

I have to agree with what Lidia said. It would be nice not having to rely on a man for everything, besides I think we should change the subject to what we are going to be doing until we graduate. None of us have classes anymore and graduation is two weeks away. What are we going to do in the meantime besides go bonkers with nothing to do. We each grabbed our menus and the waitress took our order and we just chilled and talked about nonsense. When we got done with lunch we decided to go to the mall to have fun shopping. In the middle of our shopping, my phone started to ring. I told the girls that I had to take the call because it was Carlos. I walked off to answer. He was just confirming that he would pick me up at five o'clock and I should wear something nice.  After we hung up I walked back to the girls and told them about my phone call. We all think he is going to propose to me. We finally left the mall after the girls helped me find a nice dress and shoes to match for my date tonight. I am really excited and promised to tell Lidia and Heather everything that happened tonight. 

                                                                                Lidia's POV

I  am so happy for Heather, I just hope everything goes as she expects. I pulled out some paper and a pencil and started drawing when my phone started ringing. I looked at the caller Id but it was unknown so I didn't answer. If it is important they can leave a voicemail. Well, they didn't leave a voicemail, but I did get a text from the unknown number. 

            "Hi, this is Craig the guy you met and danced with last night. I'm sorry for kissing you, just got caught in the moment. Well just wanted to say hi and it was nice meeting you. maybe we can hang out soon."

I was shocked, I can't believe he actually contacted me. I was debating if I should text him back or not, I eventually did. 

        Hi Craig, I would like to hang out with you sometime. Don't apologize for kissing me you just caught me off guard. Glad you were at the club or else I would've been bored all night."

I can't believe I sent that message, I should call Jill to come to my dorm to help with this. I would call Heather too, but she is on her date. I hope she is having fun and not doing what I am. I called Jill and told her Craig has texted me and she all but screamed on the phone. "I knew you would hit it off. I am so happy, I'll be over in a minute."  A few seconds later she knocked on my door and I told her he hasn't replied to my text. I think I scared him away. So we popped some popcorn and put on a chick flick and then my phone went off. I looked at the message and sure enough, it was Craig. He asked me out Saturday which is tomorrow. Jill stood up and said let's see what you have to wear for your date. I asked don't you if I agree that it would mean I'm desperate. She said nonsense you will have fun you will see. I don't even know where we are going, but she might be right, I might have fun.
