My Therapy

Chapter 6

Adriane's POV

Toilet papers flew and a cart came out of nowhere as I was looking for my drink. The cart hit me on my thighs, knocking me out of my balance.

"Are you okay?" I heard someone say. "I'm fine. Don't worry" I answered while getting up, I looked at the girl standing near the cart and my face immediately turned red. It's Ella! now I feel embarrassed, I'm a 5'8" tall girl who just got knocked down by toilet papers and a cart.

"I'm really sorry" she murmured. "It's okay it was an accident, good to see you" I replied. She smiled at me "Yeah, it's nice seeing you again. I didn't imagine that you go all the way here for groceries."

"Um no... I'm just waiting for the bus that would take me to the University. I kinda got lost on the way so I went here to kill time and get a drink." I answered in a very low tone feeling more embarrassed than earlier.

"So you enrolled for Winter class? That's great!" She replied with a big smile. Man! that smile is really breath taking I don't mind looking at that all day. "Not yet, they still need to view my transcript and check if there are subjects that they can credit." I told her.

"Oh, do you want company going there?" she asked. I was about to say yes but there's a woman approaching us and seems like she knows Ella. "If you don't have other plans for today that will be great" I said.

Ella's POV

I wasn't even thinking when I asked her if she wants company, my subconscious just blurted it out but it felt good.

"Ella?" I heard a familiar voice called me. I turned around and saw my mom. s**t! I totally forgot I was looking for her. "Mom! I was looking for you! (I lied) You forgot your phone at home, so I thought I should let you know before you turn this Walmart upside down."

"That's why I can't find it in my bag! I thought I left it on one of the aisles." she replied. "Is she your friend?" pointing at Adriane. "She's one of my clients' family. Adriane, this is my mom." I introduced her.

"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Davis" Adriane greeted reaching out her hand to my mom. "Please call me Margaret." my mom replied with a giggle and shook her hand. Seriously, how old is this woman! She's more of a flirt than me.

"I should get going or I'll be late for my bus." Adriane said looking at me. "Will you be okay?" I asked, totally ashamed for not keeping my word about accompanying her because my mom suddenly showed up.

"Yeah, I'll call you if ever I get lost again." she answered slightly laughing with her eyes also smiling at me. Gosh! she's really charming.

I waved goodbye to her then I heard my mom say "So am I your excuse for letting that hottie go? I have my own car you know." "Mom!!" I yelled, my face is deep red, I don't know if it's due to the fact that what my mom said is true or I know that she knew that I like that tall, shy, hot stud.
