Loreleia [LORE-UH-LAY-UH]
meaning: "alluring."
An inspirited night. Loud music and a half full bar with only Rory to man the commotion. Piece of cake. Or at least thats what she thought before a no more than average brown-haired man comes through t...
"OKAY, WELL IN THAT CASE, there's something else I need to tell you." My mind was racing when those words left my mouth. I was staring down at my fingers, feeling guilty as I was trying to tell Ro I have to leave in a month. in four weeks. just thirty days.
" What is it, Dylan? You know you can tell me anything." She reassured me, speaking softly.
"Well Leia, I Uhm... I'm leaving." I would've thought my anxiety would die down once I told her but it only got worse. I couldn't help but worry if she would be mad at me, hate me, and leave me.
Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion as she spoke. "W-what do you mean, 'you're leaving?'" I stared at her, studying her expression to see what she was feeling. I took a deep breath and exhaled shakily as I elaborated.
"I'm leaving in a month, to film the second maze runner movie." She sighed in relief and laughed.
"W-why are you laughing?" Her reaction shocked me and made me feel better at the same time.
"Because Dylan I thought you were leaving for like a death in the family or something. Dude, you looked so scared." She laughed. My eyebrows furrowed this time, Now I was confused.
"So you're not mad? You don't hate me?" I said relaxing my shoulders. She punched my arm and scoffed.
"Mad at you? Dyl It's not a big deal. You act like you're the first person who'd given this speech to me. C'mon, Zoey leaves plenty of time for her projects! It's your job I get it." Fuck, this woman is amazing. No. I didn't say that.
"Thank you," I said with a genuine smile. "For what?" She asks. I could list all the things about her I'm thankful for, but I'm most thankful for her.
"For being so God damn accepting. God, I used to feel like such a bad person when I get called into work and you're one of the first people who made me not feel bad about it."
She smiles softly and envelops me in a hug. "Maybe I'm just the first one who understands." She turns around leading me back into the kitchen where Zoey is doing dishes.
"There you guys are! I thought you ditched me to make out or something." Zoey jokes. I smile and can't help but notice the blush on Leia's face.
"W-what? Why would you think that?" She says embarrassed. She is so cute. Oh my god. Stop Dylan, she's one of your best friends.
