"So how did your weekend go?" Cora came inside the living room
"it was refreshingâ I call after her while she settle down on the couch
dropping her bag on the floor.
"Any hotties?" she types something on her phone then wiggle her brow
at me.
"No, there were no hotties at allâ I kept myself busy around so that I
won't look at her.
"I only get to spend time with my grandma with no boys," I lie walking
behind the counter putting both of my hands on it.
I am so happy that Cora or my parents weren't around when Matteo
dropped me off. I never wanted any of them to find out about us, not
right now.
Changing the subject as I was afraid she would find out if we continue
to talk about my weekend I ask her.
"How did the cheer thing go?" she sigh
"well fuck Janice and Maria we came third, those stupid ass made us
lose," she threw her hands up in frustration.
"How so?" I ask with interest while she shook her head in disappointed
"they changed our routine last minuteâ she said with a sigh.
At that moment I felt bad for my friend as I wasn't surprised hearing
this about those two.
I remember when they went for the spelling bee our school lose before
the competition and this all because the school never chose the top
English students but the two bitches.
The door opens trying to find a corner or anywhere to hide thinking it
was my mom but no it wasn't.
"Dad"
I excitedly skip over to him and gave him a big hug. I know my dad
wouldn't lecture me for taking his car and I never care to ask why he
was home early. Because I am beyond excited that he is here as I hardly
spend time with my parents especially with my dad.
He pulls away then look me over "hmmm my daughter seems so
happy" he look over to Cora who snickered.
"To think again, you are right Mr. Rumanoff you're daughter seems to
be glowing today" she said teasingly
"I bet something happens over the weekend, we might as well call
grandma Gloria" she again wiggle her brows.
Feeling embarrassed I hit my dad lightly on the shoulder "aww come on
stop it you two. Can't I be happy to be back with my parents and best
friend.â
The door slams open then closed and Cora glance to the doorway then
to me mouthing "Trouble" before she announced loudly "glad to be
whipped"
I look at my dad "Mom" he murmur and I move behind him.
We heard footsteps âone, twoâ I counted her foot steps in my head
âthreeâ
"ADDASAH" she scream almost shaking the whole house.
She moved in the living room, her eyes searching for me once she saw
me behind my dad "come here" and she walks to me.
My dad shielded me "Get here, hurry up.â I can say that my mom can
be dramatic sometimes.
"Look honey, can we not do this now, I'm home, she's here now and
besides her friend is here. Can you calm down and let us all have nice
day without dramaâ
Yet my mom wouldn't have that she chases me around my dad until I
was on my knees with my hands in the air.3
"Say you are very sorry and you won't be doing it again 100 times"
I kept on repeating and my knees started to hurt when I reach 60.
"Stopped," she took a breathe and my dad moves to hug her "fix dinner
with Cora and set up the table"
Without her repeating twice I quickly got on my legs "I love you ma" I
kiss her on the cheek then rush towards the kitchen.
Sometime afterwards we were all around the table laughing over our
dinner. Cora was reminding us of how I was scolded by mom.
We were all enjoying the dinner, my parents were telling us about their
day, then Cora talks about their cheer while I told her half of the truth
of my weekend over my grandma.
I was so sure not to tell them about Matteo being there and the mating
of Aaron and his luna that I have seen.
Maybe not the whole thing but I did saw something that my eyes
shouldn't.
After our blissful dinner everyone went to bed except for me.
Cora wanted to help but I told her that I could do it on my own and
that I am okay with it.
When all of the dishes has been wash and the kitchen been clean I
made my way to my room.
I plop on it pulling out my phone from my pocket. I haven't touch it
since I came home.
I did hear and felt vibration from it in my pocket but I was scared for
my parents to find out.
My eyes met with his 100 texts making me smile. I kept on reading each
text then I thought of how to reply back to him.
My hands kept on typing then deleting my drafted text. Finally I made
up my mind and just text sorry to him for the late reply as my parents
were around and right now I'm kind of tired.
I didn't want the last six words to be included but too late as I
accidentally click sent and the message has been successfully sent to
the recipient.
I lay there on the bed watching the ceiling while I waited if he's going
to text me back.
My phone peep I quickly unlock it and the words there made me
foolishly smile:
he types "sleep well then my baby girl. Tonight I'll kiss you and hold you
there in my arms in my dreams tonight"
I turn to the other side clutching on to my phone. My flattering with
every words he text me.+
"Is this love" I whisper with a smile before I close my eyes.
