Chasing your Wish

chapter#2( expectations)

I glanced around and saw Abby were sitting on the bar and I quickly made my way back to her and tab on her shoulder. She turned around.

" Stella where you were? you have missed the whole drama"

" What drama?

" You should see Hannah and Tyler were dancing. Hannah were all over the Tyler and she was making Tyler so uncomfortable"

My eyes were roaming around the club finding him I thought he would come after me but I couldn't see him anywhere.

" I don't know who he was? and why he kissed me and why I let him kissing me." I thought

" Stella! STELLA!! Abby wave's her hand towards my face to caught my attention.

" What are you doing? I asked Abby and squint her eyebrow

" I'm not doing anything, you were lost in your thoughts and you didn't even listen to me"

" I do hear you Abby and I'm not lost. Where are Hannah and Tyler, Luke"

She told me to look behind and I do looked behind and saw Luke and Hannah were dancing on dance floor but I didn't see Tyler anywhere before I ask about Tyler. Abby told me that Tyler went outside.

I told Abby, I'm going to looking for him and make my way out of the club, actually looking out for Tyler is just an excuse to get out of the club.

In reality I wasn't quite feeling good in there because of that asshole. When I get out of the club I saw Tyler was sitting in his car on the other side of the street.

I crossed the road and walk towards his car. He didn't realize I was coming I knocked on the car window to unlock the car. He lift his head and saw me he unlock the car and jumped in it.

" What are you doing? he asked me.

" Give me a moment please...

I take out the a rubber tie from the hand bag. I tied up my hair in undone bun, and told Tyler to turned on Air conditioner.

He nodded, his gaze drifting off in contemplation.

" What are you doing Stella? you shouldn't be here"

" Why you are here Tyler? because of Hannah you know her how she is,so why are you overacting about it"

" You think I'm overreacting come on Stella, you know I never do that. We are best friend and you know me well then that"

" Yeah you are right I knew very well that's why I am telling you just don't overacting on everything and shall we go back home"

" Okay I will not and don't you wanna go inside"

" Nope I wanna go home I had enough for today and I'll text Abby that we are leaving"

He grinned and hit the gas padal. We drove towards the house

I tried to not lose my mind on him and think about something else but I've thought about nothing else but him.

" Ugh, why can't he got out of my mind" I mentally screamed.

When we reached home it was already past 2O'clock in night. Tyler parked his car on the drive way. I glanced towards the house and saw non of the lights were on I thought everyone sleep and the party is over.

Me and Tyler get off the car, he said, thanks for coming for him but I didn't respond, and I thought it best to direct her energy to walking rather than talking.

Dragging my feet towards the front porch. I opened the front door and went inside it's quite dark inside but I thank God because Mom wasn't there. I turned towards and said, Good night see you tomorrow. He gives me a thumbs up and I tip toe walk upstairs to my room.

The door was opened and I wander do I closed the door or nah. I stepped in side and close the door softly.

" Stella, where you were? and where are you coming from? I heard mom said from behind me.

I squint my eyes and crul my lips together and thought, f**k! I got caught red handed""

I turned facing Mom she was standing behind me. My mouth become dry as desert mom again ask me the same question.

" Mom, why are you still waking up?

" Stella this is not the answer of my questions where were you? you know how embarrassed your dad and me were when you don't show on the party."

I rolled my eyes and walk passed her and jumped on bed.

" We went to club, Abby drag me there I was getting for party I swear Mom and please can you stop this topic I'm really fed up with it. I don't want to meet with that guy"

" We are lucky enough that Charles didn't show up to the party because he was busy in work but tomorrow we arrange a brunch with his family, so don't disappoint us."

" Who's this Charles? and why Mom? why you are doing this to me? am I your not child or am I adopted that's why you are doing that to me" I said almost making a crying face.

" Charles your soon husband to be and you are not adopted that's why we're doing everything for you. "

I took off my heels and told mom I am never gonna marry to Charles or whatever his name is and stop stressing me out.

My mom will never understand it instead of listening to me she give me even more lecture about half an hour. I just got fed up and got up from the bed and went straight into the bathroom and lock the door.

" Stella we are not finished yet! Mom said and knock on the door but no way I am gonna open the door instead of this I turn on the shower and take off my clothes.

I stood in the shower and saw my reflection in the mirror.

I know that mirrors give us a false sense of confidence.” I continued. “The reflection that we see everyday has nothing to do with how others see us. The glass lies. I can't look myself in mirror for too long.

I wanted to kill the me underneath. That fact haunted my days and nights. When I realize I hate myself so much, when I realize that I cannot stand who am I, and this deep spite has been the motivation behind mine behavior for many years, My brain can’t quite deal with it. It will try very hard to avoid that realization; it will try, in a last-ditch effort to keep my remaining parts alive, to remake the rest of you.

I got out of the shower and put on the bathrobe. I stood in front of the door I stopped, straining to hear the Mom is gone or not. I didn't hear anything so I pull the door.

" Thank God, mom is gone or else I have to sleep on the toilet seat."

I walked out of the bathroom and put on a fluffy night gown and crawl on my bed, face deep sink in the pillow I lost in my thoughts, how can I not meet with him Oh I got to find a way.

The Next Morning

The rays of the morning sun shines through the window, waking me from my sleep. It's surprising that somebody such as me is awaken by the sun rather than the sound of my alarm clock. As I waking up, I notices that something is... off. The usual sounds of wind blowing through the window or my cousin's loud noise.An awkward thing to feel for somebody like me. It's not normal for people to notice these kinds of thing when they wake up, but I am different. What is normal to everybody is weird for me and what is weird to me is normal to everybody. An eerie feeling rushed through the body like a small shock of electricity rushing through my hair. I got out of bed and stretch my arms and simply just walked to the washroom to get fresh first and then I went to see who was in the kitchen. “Good morning Malma,” I said to my grandma. “Good morning, Stella sit have breakfast"

I cook yall kids some breakfast today because after seeing you all after long time I wanted to cook for all of you,” she said. “ Aww that's so sweet I can't wait to eat, by the way I think everyone is still sleeping, and I may think I’ll be the only one eating right now,” I said. “That’s fine I’ll eat with you,” said my grandma. I sit on long kitchen island and grandma serve me my favorite breakfast.

Grandma sit on the other side of the island stool and asked me about my work and studies talking with grandma always make me smile and I only share my secret with grandma and then my brain light up with an idea.

" Malma can I ask you for a little help and I think you are last hope of mine"

" What help? she said

" Malma... I heard something under the island I bent down head to see who's there.

"Anything interesting in there,” said a voice. I couldn't see anything“Nah, not really, wait who is that,” I said confused. “I’m down here,” called out the voice. I looked around and saw the small, fluffy dog.

"Woah, are you talking?” “You never heard a dog talk before,” the pup said. “Honestly no, never, until now,” I said. “I thought all dogs talked, but let me introduce myself, my name is Malli,” she said. “Hey Malli,” I said happily. “By the way who’s your owner?”

" I'm the owner " I heard Tyler voice

I lift my head and saw Tyler was standing on the door way, a coffee mug is in hand.

" When do you own a dog?

He looked me, with a large grin splitting his face.

" Good morning grandma and come outside I'll tell you how I own a dog"

I nodded and got up from the stool. I hold the dog in my arms and pat him.

" Aww boy, you are so cute and fluffy"

I put the dog down and hugged grandma from behind and thank her for the breakfast. She kissed me on forehead

Me and Taylor walk through long hallway to the back of the house to the pool. The fascinating, open air swimming pool is located near a tremendous ocean with its beautiful view. Swimming pool is construct with the cool blue tiles that enhance the color of water in the pool. Day is not so hot due to slight breeze that touching the my faces softly. Water in the pool is blue as the sky and clean as the crystal. Cool blue Water of pool is soothing the eyes and refreshing mind and body.

I sit on the edge of the swimming pool hanging my feet down. Tyler sit next to me and I dip my toes in the water.

" So, I am surprised you have a dog"

" Actually it's not mine I mean it's kinda of staying with me right now but not for long. We rescued him and we are searching for his new home"

" Aww poor baby, I think I can help with it but if you want too"

" I would be glad if you would help me with it"

I grin and splash the water with my feet. In my peripheral vision Tyler was looking me and a big smile on his face appear.

" Are you coming?

" Where?

" We planned to go on yacht in afternoon will you come with us"

" O really, I wish I could come but I can't because Mom invite some friends over lunch I'll be hosting them"

" Okay then I'll stay with you and help you out."

I wish Tyler would help me but I can't drag him into my problem.Sometimes things become impossible if we want them bad enough.

" No I'll manage by myself but thank you"

I told Tyler that I need to do some work. I'll meet him later and I got up on my feet. I walked back towards the house and race up to the grand foyer.

I went to talk with Dad about this Charles or charlie I can't remember his name but whatever his name is I just need to solve this problem.

I knocked on the mom, Dad room door but Susan saw me from far corner of the hallway.

" Madam Stella Mr. Wees is not in his room. He went for a walk and your mom is gone to salon"
