As A Movie

CHAPTER - 02

I saw Charles waving at me when I stepped out of the mall. Charles a driver my dad had appointed he was in his late forties and he had been working for my dad for the longest and the trust he had gained all along that time was the reason why my dad all seemed to entrust me with Charles.

" See you guys on Monday at school.", I said as I started to cross the road to reach where Charles was standing with car.

" Yeah see you.", both yelled in unison before heading for their homes. Lucky for them to had homes next to each other.

" Good evening Miss Amber. I hope you had fun at shopping.", and Charles opened the door for me with a smile.

"It was. But a guy pissed me off, twice.", I knew it wasn't something very big to share with Charles but he had always been like a uncle to me with whom I could share anything.

Because he was around me almost all the time while I and my brother Nick Cooper were growing up and that being said than it might be whole lot more than my own father James Cooper being there for us during our childhood. My dad had loved and cherished both of us and spoiled us with everything we had ever asked for except his time.

"Oh he annoyed our little princess.", I was brought out of my monologue when I heard Charles.

"That's the point. He should be punished for it right.", I fake whined which made both of us burst into laughter.

"Your command madam and you will have his head.", while Charles couldn't hold back his laugh still he played along to which I gave an over dramatic nod.

"Miss I totally have forgotten. Your father left for a meeting with foreign investors so he won't be at home for at least five days.", it was nothing new but still I hadn't got used to it yet. Granted running a hotel business could never be easy but knowing that fact had never made me smile. I sure had understood that dad had to work hard but because of that dad couldn't get much time to spend with us.

"And what about Nick?", my stupid twin won't keep calm as dad wasn't going to be at home.

"May be calling his buddies for party.", Charles guessed while he drove to towards our home which was more like villa. Even though Nick and I were twins but we had been polar opposites since we opened our eyes.

"Oh my precious sleep.", I sighed as I stepped out of the car once we were reached. I was starting to fear if at this rate I would become deaf one day because of Nick and his loud music and not to forget his weird friends.

The moment I entered in house I had a grand welcome. If getting a big slice of pizza straight on your face would ever count as grand. I took that slice in my hand and eyed at Nick. He sure would have been dead by now if looks could kill.

"Sis I didn't do anything. Zach started it.", Nick yelled as he sat down behind the sofa to save himself from the pizza slice I threw at him.

"Hey I am innocent. It just ended up that way.", Zach shrugged his arms while rest of Nick's friends laughed as I chased after Nick.

"Alright I am going to sleep.", I was out of breath and obviously it was idiotic to run after my football player brother, what the hell was I even thinking.

"Yo good night sis. Don't forget to wipe off that pizza face pack before you go to bed.", Nick laughed at his own joke but his happiness was short lived as I threw that very pizza slice at him.

"You too bro don't forget to wipe off THAT face pack.", I grinned ear to ear and locked myself inside my room before he could come for payback. I was hell tired from all of the things, stretching my arms I yawned out of exhaustion. I laid down on my bed and reached for my mobile in my purse.

"Fudging nuggets!!!!! THIS ISN'T MY MOBILE.", sure enough that mobile I was having in my hands right now was same model as mine but it had different cover than mine. I had flowers on it while this cover had Iron man.

"How come I have this phone!!", it was when the incident in Burger King hit me hard. My mobile was possibly switched with that arrogant jerk and from front both of our mobiles look same so I didn't notice and hurriedly had kept my mobile in my purse so it won't fall again.

" Great so now I have mobile of a guy I don't know where to find.", it indeed had been a long day for me.

Two attempts left.

One attempt left.

You have tried enough times please try again after thirty minutes.

"Ugh!", I was beyond annoyed but then confusion clouded my thoughts. I was confused as to why he hadn't called me up yet, cause I didn't have any password on my mobile because nobody was allowed to check my mobile expect Hannah and Emily. I didn't think that was the case but he might also not get to about mobile switch till now.

I could go and ask Nick for his mobile to call on my phone but the whole thing was kind of embarrassing as I couldn't check if was mobile was actually mine and I didn't want to make a fuss about it because I had known my twin long enough so he and him over dramatic. He would just make fun of me and he might call and tell dad about it too.

Better wait for one day before making myself a laughing stock.

It was frustrating. I hoped out of my bed and headed for a cold shower. I really needed that to calm my nerves down. Firstly he had my mobile which didn't have any password so he could go through any of my stuffs not like I would have any secret but something is called privacy. Secondly how was I going to contact anyone. I never memorized any of their numbers.

I started to relax as cold water washed my worries. After wearing my Minnie mouse pajamas and a lose top while humming my favorite song I made my way back to my bed. Nick and his friends were still playing music but luckily I wasn't going to become deaf any time sooner.

I pulled duvet over and covered myself from head to toe and shut my eyes to fall in deep slumber but sleep was far away from my eyes. I just ended up turning from one side to another. It would happen with me quite often when I wouldn't be able to sleep so my mom used to tell me stories when I was child and eventually sleep used to embrace me.

Mom...

Where are you going..

Don't leave me..

You can't go again..

MOM..

I was drenched with sweat when my eyes opened and breathing heavily, I blinked my eyes rapidly in desperation. I looked around and I was still in my room and everything seemed fine. It was a dream. I was dreaming, I repeatedly reminded myself that everything was fine.

Breath in.

Breath out.

Breath in, breath out.

I whipped sweat from my forehead with the back of my hand and gulped down half of the water from my bottle that was on my bed side table. I didn't even remember when I had fallen asleep and now it was one at night. My heart was still beating fast so I stood up and went to balcony feel better.

"Amber everything is fine. Everything is okay.", I wrapped my arms around myself in self reassurance.

"Sky is full of stars today.", a smile appeared on my face as I saw stars twinkling in the sky. I had loved star gazing since I was kid. I closed my eyes for a little while and let the breeze brush past me. It gave me a tingling sensation, cause it was chilled outside.

I was feeling a lot better now so I closed the door of balcony and came back in my room. I tried to sleep again but all attempts went in vain. So I gave up on sleeping, it was far fetched anyway. I grabbed my laptop to watch something which would at least give me a break from boredom.

"So what should I watch?", I questioned to myself as I surfed through Netflix.

"How about trying Korean drama. Hannah won't believe that finally I tried her suggested drama.", I could literally imagine her amused face or like shocked face.

"What was its name?! Suspicious partner.", I typed those words instantly as I remembered the name of that drama.

"What I am already at three episode!", and it was when each episode was of one hour. Still I could turn it off. It was addicting for real. Before I knew my hand had already clicked on fourth episode.
