Georgie and I met today at this really nice cafe right on Bondi, of course it was busy, all the trendy beachy people out for Sunday morning brunch. Georgie and I had done a bit of shopping and were just walking along the beach.
“So last night was fun.” I said.
“It really was...But Paris, nah I...never mind.”She said.
“What Georgie?”I asked.
“Ok, look I’m saying this as your friend. Because we are friends, but it could come across off as –”I cut her off.
“Just say it Georgie, its fine.” I said genuinely wanting her opinion on last night.
“Ok, well the way Brett looked at you Paris, it wasn’t a friend look. I think Nate noticed too.” She said.
“Hmm I told Brett about Nate the first day we met. He knows where committed and all that jazz. But I don’t know something weird happened after everybody left...” I said.
“What?” She asked concern.
“Well, this sounds stupid but he just stared, you know like a little too long...”I said.
“Pretty much what he was doing ALL last night.” She said.
“Can you not tell Nate about this convo, I know it’s weird your brother’s girlfriend asking you to keep quiet, but I just wanna gauge the situation first?” I said.
“Yeah of course Paris, just between us but if you hurt my brother, I hurt you!”She laughed but was only half joking.
“Oh gosh, I have been given that speech by sooo many people in your family.” I giggled. “But no, I have no intention to hurt him.”
“Not surprised, we all kept our mouths shut about Katie and that wasn’t pretty.” She sighed.
“Why what happened there?” I asked more interested then I should have been about my boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend.
She laughed at my curiosity but continued, “A lot happened there...gosh she was REALLY media hungry, and Nathans not like that, she was into the whole wag tag thing...” I openly cringed; one thing I didn’t really like about my relationship with Nathan was that people were already referring me as a wag, wives and girlfriends of football players. I don’t want to be known as somebody’s girlfriend, I want to be known as a brilliant writer who is the editor of Radiance magazine...some day.
“Yucky, I’m nobody’s wag...” I laughed.
Georgie responded by laughing really hard, “You really are one of a kind Paris. A lot of girls would just LOVE to be a wag...”
My phone started ringing, breaking up the girl talk...
“Hello?”
“Hey.” Nathan replied, sounding tired and a little grumpy.
“Oh no, you sound tired.”
“I am, but do you still wanna hang out tonight?” He asked.
“Surely do, I’m with your lovely sister at the moment, should I just come to your place after?”
“Oh that’s cool; yeah sure I’ll see you soon.”
“Love you, cya soon!” I replied.
“Love you too.” He replied and then hung up, he was not a happy chappy.
Georgie and I started walking back up the beach, I could see Georgie and I coming really close friends, I hope I didn’t put her in an awkward position with Nathan but she was so easy to talk to.
