A Tear Drop

Chapter 03

 Clarissa's POV

The car suddenly came to halt.

“Ma’am we are here. I warmly welcome you to your apartment, The Elderado.” Daniel said dramatically.

Michelle giggled, “Why thank you young man. It was so kind of you to give us a lift. It wasn’t like we couldn’t manage.

Daniel gave a slight cough, “at least be grateful.” I slapped his hand and glared at him.

Michelle rolled her eyes at him, “whatever. I am off. Take your own sweet time Clarry…” she drawled and left with a smirk.

The moment Michelle left I turned to Daniel, “I am so sorry Daniel. The thing was….” But I couldn’t continue because he shushed me with his lips.

“Clarissa,” he whispered, “I don’t need any explanations or reasons. I know you are busy and that things come up. I am person who is doing a job as well, I totally understand. Now stop feeling guilty and would you kiss me back!?”

I giggled and pulled him to me before kissing him, I whispered, “That’s why you are my awesome boyfriend.” And then I crushed my lips to him. His kisses always gave me butterflies in my stomach, god was I hungry for it.

He stopped kissing me on my lips instead he moved on to my jaw, he tailed his lips to my earlobe and his teeth nipped at my sensitive place below my ear. I moaned in pleasure, my breathing hitched and my heart was beating at speed such that it was impossible for me to survive.

“Gosh! I could just eat you right now” he whispered to my neck where he now took refuge. His breath, whisper-soft, washed over my skin sending shivers down my spine. He nibbled at my throat and soothed it with his tongue and he returned to claim my lips. Moaning I dug in for more.

“Gosh woman! Do you want me to take you in the car?” Daniel threatened with a rasping breath.

I simply giggled and gave him peck on his lips, “I have to go.”

“No,” he said pulling me towards him.

 I sighed, “baby I have to go, besides you need to take a good rest today, since you are going to have your first recording tomorrow.”

He threw his head back and groaned, “I am nervous for tomorrow.”

Did I mention that Daniel looked so darn cute when he is nervous? Well if I didn’t then trust me he is. You could melt ice in his cuteness (does that even make sense? What I just said now?)

“Aaaawww,” I said pinching his cheek, “my baby is nervous.”

“Ya!” he slapped my hand away. “You must be loving it to see me like this” he pouted.

“Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!” I started to laugh out loud, “hahahaha, oh my god! Such a cutie pie you are!”

Daniel glared at me and looked away.

Swallowing my laughs, “oh baby, chillax. I was just trying to make ease you out.” I said tugging at his hand. “Come on! You know I love you right?” Please? Pretty please????” I batted my eyelashes at him and gave him a pout.

“Urgh! You are impossible” saying so he pulled me into another kiss and let me go.

I gave him a kiss on his cheek, “go home, I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Bye, love you.”

“Love you too” saying so I stepped out of the car and stood until he drove off. I stood staring at the trail of smoke that he left. The night was chilly and I involuntarily hugging myself looked up at the starry night, it was a clear night, with the crescent moon. A loneliness settled around me, sadly and slowly, I hugged myself tightly.

The wind rustled the trees, making them whisper. And blew past me, making a whisper next to my ear, sweet, irresistible and full of promises

“Always remember that I am always next to you. If you ever feel sad and lonely close your eyes and hug yourself tightly and think of me…. Only me….”

And then it was gone, I looked around, my heart beating loudly in my chest, I turned around and searched for that one voice that would haunt me forever but there was no one.

“Who am I kidding.” I muttered under my breath as a tear rolled down my eye. I quickly brushed it away and turned around to go into my apartment.

“Finally,” Michelle said with a smirk on her face, “thought you would never make it. Did you guys have s*x in the car?”

“Oh shut up Michelle!” I said throwing a couch cushion at her. “You are such a pain in the arse!”

“But you still love me!” She piped.

“That’s what is so confusing about me.”

“Aaaaaaaawwww I love you too!” She said jumping onto me and hugging me tight.

“Ooff!” I smiled and hugged her back. “Now get the f**k off me, I need to take a bath.”

“Well I hate to admit it, but you stink!” she said wrinkling her nose.

I glared at her and threw her another pillow, which hit right and square on her face. “Hahahahahahhahha, serves you right!” pulling my tongue at her I ran to my room and shut the door before she could get me.

 “b***h! Don’t let me catch you!” she shouted from the other side.

I giggled and flopped on the bed. I could feel the tiredness settling in me, before it takes refugee I stood up and went to the bathroom. 

Clarissa's POV

“Why do you always send Olivia in your bro’s car?” Alexander, asked me as we were walking to school.

I looked at him and grinned, Alex was my other best friend after Olivia. These two hold a special place in my heart.

“YA!” He snapped his fingers in front of my face, “you are spacing again.

I pulled out my tongue at him, “oh please not as much as you do.”

He rolled his eyes at me, “so tell me?”

No matter how good his brain is, he has zero sense when it comes to noticing stuff in people, “Alexander! Don’t you get it? Those two are crazy for each other but too shy to tell.”

Alex frowned, “so what does carpooling together has to do with that?”

Urgh, he is so annoying sometimes, a number one tube light. “Alexander! What I said was that they like each other. So….”

“Yeah? So?”

I stopped right on my track. Either I am going mad or Alex is growing dumber and dumber day by day. He is getting on my nerves now, like seriously. 

“Alex. Listen to me very very carefully. Since those two like each other I thought that we should give them some time together alone... Now do you get me?”

His eyes lit up with the clearance and smiled brilliantly which made me once again question myself if he was actually the brainiac that the entire school make him out to be if he was faking all that for so long. By now we have resumed our walk to the car park in hopes of seeing them together and I really hope and pray that at least today there would be some good news and that’s when I saw them.

In the car.

Kissing as if there’s no tomorrow.

Wait. What!

OH. MY. GOD!

NO f*****g WAY!

“Oh my God!” I shrieked. Pulling Alex’s hand I started to jump up and down, “look at that! That’s what I told you!”

“Am I hallucinating this or am I seeing this for real?”

Suddenly someone came up from behind and lazily swung an arm around my shoulder and said, “Good work Clarry!”

“OMG! JACOB!!” I slapped Jacob’s arm annoyingly. He always has this habit of creeping behind my back and scaring the daylights out of me. “You f*****g scared me to s**t!”

He, as usual acted coolly and simply grinned, pointing a finger at the scene in front, “your idea did work at last.”

I grinned right back at him, “unlike some people, I believe in myself and my awesome ideas.”

Jacob simply laughed and ruffled my hair.

“Aish!!! JACOB!” I fumed angrily. I hate it when people touch my hair and he knows very well that it is one of the ways to annoy the hell out of me. I glared at him looking scary as possible.

“Ok ok, calm down sister. You don’t have to go all scary like that.” He said raising his hand in surrender.

I simply rolled my eyes at him. If there’s one thing that Jacob cannot do then that’s his acting. He suck at it. Big time!

“So…..” and then that’s when I remembered that Alex was still with us and that he was trying to figure out was actually going in front of him and we weren’t helping him either. “You knew about this as well?” He asked Jacob.

“Duh! Any fool can see that Noah is smitten by her.” Alex blushed slightly at that remark. “Don’t tell me that you were the only one who didn’t figure it out?!”

I simply shut my mouth before I could utter something regrettable, while Alex was spluttering excuses, Jacob was busy laughing out so loud that I was damn sure the entire school heard that. Me as usual being the wise one out of all these dorks, “come on. Let’s get out of here before they see us.” Saying so. I dragged them out of the car park towards the school.

Jacob Hampton is my brother’s best friend since the day they have been born. They both go to the same medical school and they are both studying to be surgeons; best friend goals; that’s what they call it. In my list of my beloveds, he is only second to my parents and my brother, that’s how much I love him. Don’t get me wrong, I never saw him in any other way other than as my own brother. But my bro, he has a different idea and we silently laugh at his lack of sense.

“What are you doing here anyway?” I asked him curiously.

“Wanted to see if your plan was working out. Guess I was lucky.”
