Found you

Chapter 3

I closed my eyes and took a heavy sigh. "Who said I will?" | said then walked away. But I felt a hand pulling my arms, and stopped me from walking. When I turned to look, it's Lunare with a picture of despair painted on her face. "What?"

"Please, don't go."

Being with her for almost years as her friend , I can't stand watching her face like that. But I also don't want her to start any serious talk with me. She's going to ask irritating things for sure - Don't you like me? Do you like other girl?I know her very much. So to avoid it, I made an alibi, "What's with that drama? I'm going to the bathroom." I pulled my hand then walk away but not to the bathroom, I'm going out...somewhere.

I was about to open the door when the knob moved, and the door opened. There in front of me stands my mom - Jessy Torres, nine years ago; Jessy Lopez now. Together with her is Stacey, her daughter with Blake who is a Chinese businessman who shared investments with my Grandmother's company.

Mom doesn't look like her age, she always looks young - thanks to the dermatologist. Having her brown hair tied up, she resembles Sara Bareilles together with the brown blouse and trouser pants she's wearing.

I can't deny that Stacey, with the combined American and Chinese blood, is a beautiful girl. The cute gothic lolita style dress she's wearing make her look like artist, with her curly long hair.

Being such a sweet child, Stacey run towards me and gave me a hug. Of course she's smaller, so her face landed on my tummy. "Hāi kù yà, hěn gāoxìng rènshí nǐ." And her hug became tighter.

I just stood still, didn't moved even a bit, no emotions at all. Let me go before I kick you little girl, I'm not in the mood.

Jessy, I mean mom, is looking at us with wide smile. "She said she missed you." She stepped forward and gave me a kiss on the forehead. And, Stacey released me at last. "So, how's my son going? Already had a girlfriend?"

Damn. What am I? A celebrity? Why does everyone so excited about my love life?

I forced a smile."Nah. Not my field of interest. Idon't see my self having a girlfriend or dating."

"So, you're taking school seriously? I'm so proud."

She was about to hug me, but I moved backward. "Nah, still waiting for school to take me seriously."

"Jessy!" It's Grandma with her loudspeaker volume 15 shout that almost break the mansion's windows.

"Are you trying to kill me with heart attack Grandma?" she obviously paid no attention on me.

"How are you? Hey Stacey, darling, you look so pretty today." said Grandma with such delight.

"Hi mom."Jessy, I mean mom, kissed Grandma. "Stacey, say hi to your Grandma."

"Hi Grandma." Stacey followed and kissed Grandma.

Unlike most families who usually grow bitter when a divorce happen, our family still stay close together even though Mom and Dad both re-married. Well, at least for them we're still a one big happy family, but not anymore for me.

"Excuse me madam, do you want us to prepare the table now for dinner?" said one of our trusted Maids,Clara.

"Sure, but don't serve the dinner yet, we're still waiting for James." Grandma replied.

"So he's not yet here? Nothing changed, he's always late." said Mom.

"It's okay honey. Why don't we just stay at the living room and let Lunare play the piano for us?" suggested Grandma.

"That would be great Mom. Let's go. Come on Stacey."

Grandma looked at me, "You're not going somewhere, aren't you Kurt?"

"As if I have a choice." I whispered under my breath and then followed them in the living room.

Our living room was big. Everything was elegant. From the beige-colored curtains, to the intricate decorations at the center table, to the luxurious sofa, the expensive chandelier Grandma bought from Italy last year, and down to the carpet.
