** When is this fantasy coming to pass**
" Dad are you home yet??? I asked banging the door.
" Careful with my properties,Dad said.
" Oh hi Dad,How was your interview ???
" I prepared dinner,Dad smiled.
" Woahhhh you got the job,I smiled sitting beside him.
" I didn't say that…
" Well if you didn't get the job, You probably wouldn't be sober enough to cook,I laughed.
" You are not my girlfriend,Why do you know me so well ???
" Am something better,Am your daughter..
" I made pasta and meatballs, Dad said.
" You went grocery shopping ??
" Yes I did,We are no longer ordering pizza, It's too much junk " That's your problem to worry about,I have a fit body,I laughed.
" Am young too, You know…
" Oh please dad,I said stuffing my face with Dad's pasta that seem to not taste so good but then he took out time to cook for me so me eating it will be the best thank you.
" Just to be clear of any food poisoning,Am cooking next time.. You welcome,I smiled.
" Agreed, Don't you want to hear about my new job???
" Am all ears,I said gulping my homemade juice.
" So my job as the coach for the junior football team for your school is….
" Hold up, Hold up...My school ???
" Oh yeah I forgot to mention,It was actually your school..
" Oh wow Sebastian, What happened to never keeping secrets from each other,I frowned.
" I just apologized, Didn't I ???
" Yeah after lying to me,I frowned.
" Am sorry…
" I didn't know they were recruiting officials even on weekends,I yawned.
" I just got information,So can I go on ???
" Sure go on…
" So am now officially the coach for the junior football team, Am just a substitute anyways..
" What about the real coach???
" He's away for some time,Dad said eventually tasting the pasta and giving a very funny face.
" What's wrong Sebastian??? Does the food taste bad ??? I laughed.
" How can you eat that??? Dad frowned rinsing his tongue.
" It's not that bad,I laughed.
" When is the summer ending???
" You seem so excited for work,I smiled.
" Of course, You know my dream is to play football,Dad said demonstrating like he was an actual player.
" Dad shouldn't you say it use to be your dream, You are too old to play football,I teased..
" Young lady,I am still in my early forties…
" No one wants to sign a old player,I laughed walking to my room.
" You won this time…
" I always win Sebastian,I laughed.
" Good night sunshine…
" Good night Sebastian,I smiled and shut my door.
I showered and changed to my pyjamas,I couldn't stop staring at the locker,I was wearing it's the only property of my mom I don't want to throw out,The love I had for mom turned out to grow into hate for her. How could she leave me under that cold storm even if she knew I had my asthma attack,If she was too desperate to leave she would have done the next day maybe when I was asleep or my Asthma was a lot better but she left me soaking in both tears and dripping with water from the rain. How can I forgive her after hurting the feelings of a little girl,She isn't humane.My room window was opposite Leo's room and I could hear him sing.
" Are you back from work??? I said from my window.
" Oh wow, Amy you look pretty… I could see Leo's room and he could see mine because our rooms were opposite each other and we could communicate easily
" Am going to sleep now ,I lied.
" Wait do you promise to stop by at the shop tomorrow ??? Leo asked.
" Maybe when am free…
" Are you kidding me right now ???? Please…..
Leo can be the sweetest most of the times even if I have a big crush on him,I can't see us happening he is one of the popular kids in school and am just some normal girl in school but since we are window buddies we got a little bit close okay maybe not a little bit, Really Really Cute. I went to prom with him once he said that's what he wants for his birthday for someone he was comfortable with to go to prom with and am that lucky someone. I try my best to not listen to what Crystal say about him being a player we can't just stop sharing that bond we have.
" I will come around,I smiled.
" Okay are you reading the book I gave you????
" Was about to,I said waving the book.
" Amy….. My Dad barged in my room
" Dad…. Why don't you knock
" Hi Mr Witmore, Leo waved.
" Hello,I just brought you some milkshakes,Dad winked, Let's say Dad is one of the few people that know about my crush on Leo.
" So have you considered hanging out with me at school after the break,Leo said drying his hair.
I sat at the edge of my window flipping the book.
"Well my life is going well without us hanging out in school,I don't want to be bullied by your secret lovers,I teased.
" Ouchhh….
" Good night,I draw my curtains and threw myself on my bed.
I flipped the book till i slept off.. The next morning I woke up extra early because I had plans and work.
Sebastian I made sandwiches and some milkshakes, Have a great day and I might be late today so don't wait for me, Sebastian read the note and smiled.
" It's funny how she grew up so fast, Sebastian smiled.
I took a shortcut route to get to work faster and it paid off,I worked for a while and left for my destination. Jake's place, Unlike crystal I met jake when I was just in kindergarten,We were inseparable till now even though we no longer live close by. Jake wasn't always rich he was a middle-class,I remember vividly the day things change,Jake and I were doing our homework at our favorite cafe when his mom came in and excited that his dad just won a lottery and since then they have a big cosmetics company. I jealous Jake, reason is this he got the fantasy I have always prayed for waking up to luxury,A different kind of life a better one.
" Amy…..I heard Jake's mom voice and I woke up from my imagination, You might see me just looking at the building but I was imagining my life in riches.
" Mrs Meyers,I ran to hug her…
" You look skinny are you working yourself out again,She frowned helping me with my back pack.
" Not really,I lied.
" Jake is in his room,She said going back to what she was doing.
" Hello Amy,I sighted Mr Meyers from the penthouse.
" It's so good to see you,I smiled.
" You must be looking for Jake, He's upstairs…
" Thank you so much…Before I could climb the staircase, I saw Piper.
" Hey piper I heard you just got into junior high school, Good work…
" I don't think it's good work, It's more study for me..
" Am here if you need any help with your studies,Am the smart one remember...I smiled.
" Always…
I rushed upstairs and I just barged inside Jake's room.
" Hey big dog, I said throwing my self on his bed.
" When are you going to learn how to ring the doorbell,Jake frowned.
" You have a doorbell ??? Oh wow I didn't realize,I mocked.
" Well I didn't realize I still had a friend, You haven't stop by since forever…
" I was here few weeks ago,I said stroking my chin.
" Am coming in, Mrs Meyers said.
" Okay mom…
" Since Amy is here you guys can try my new cake buffet,She smiled.
" I love cake,I smiled.
" Enjoy,She left some slice of cake and left.
" What were we saying??? I said stuffing my face with cake.
" Are you kidding right now?? You never take anything serious…
" Do you still have that really good mints you used to keep ??? I asked.
" Amy Witmore,Am serious..
" Sorry,I dropped the cake and tried to listen to him.
" When last did we have a best friend day of fun ???
" Jake we are adults now…
" Well we are still best friends right????
" Okay fine,What do you want to do???
" You have to watch the new movie out on Cinema with me and then we go for some ice cream and then we have fun at the amusement park,How does that sound???
" Time elapsing, That's how it sounds,I said.
" You don't have to work all the time…
" I have to..
" Fine I will help you with your jobs, Let's just have fun... Please
" I will think about it,I teased.
" Are you crazy???
" Fine I will do it,I smiled.
" Better..
" Did I mention Dad is coaching the junior football team,I burp.
" Whoaa that's cool,Jake smiled.
" Yup,So when are we leaving I promised Leo I will be at the library today…
" You still like that dude???
" Get dressed,I laughed.
" You are so weird…
Jake got dressed and we were ready to go.
" Mom am taking my car out…. Jake said.
" Where are you going????
" Somewhere with Amy, Jake rolled his eyes.
"You guys be back before dinner,She said.
" We will try…
" Is Amy sleeping over??? Piper asked.
Jake looked at me like he needed my approval
" Sorry Piper but not today, Maybe next time…
" There will be no next time, You hardly even visit, Piper frowned.
" She's so right, Jake frowned.
" Piper I will visit soon,I didn't tell dad I will be spending the night,I said.
" You know that's not an excuse, you can sleep over and when he asks or call tell him you are here or better still call him and inform him,Piper said.
" Sorry dear maybe next time,I kissed her cheeks.
