A ride with mister cold face

1468 Words
Aubrey's POV My eyes googled at Sharon's words because honestly I wasn't expecting that. "Why should I? What happened to the driver?" He glowered. "Nothing, I thought it'd be better to drop her off yourself." She elaborated. "Why? Is she my responsibility?" He snarled I was getting uncomfortable with their argument over me. "Hey guys, It's okay. Just stop arguing because of me okay?!" I blurted out.. "If the driver is unavailable to drive me back, I will find my way back to the dorm." I said to them. "No! Jake will take you home. You stayed late because of me so he should be a gentleman and take responsibility for that." She declared. "I have never been a gentleman." He retorted. "Obviously." She rolled her eyes. "Just know you will be making me sad if you refuse to drive her home in your car." She affirmed 'Whoa! She does have her way to get him to dance to her tune.' Jake who wouldn't want to see his sister sad or cry, had to give in. "Fine." He scowled at me. 'Hey! What did I do?.' I shrugged inwardly. "Go on. I will see you tomorrow." She smiled and waved. "Bye." I waved at her. I followed the direction Jake went but he had gone far ahead of me. 'How am I supposed to know where he parked his car?' I thought Then I heard a car honk. And from the vigorous honking of the car I knew it was him. His car was parked at the front of the building. ******* Sharon's POV I deliberately asked Jake to take Aubrey home because I wanted them to have some sort of a connection. I like Aubrey a lot, she is a nice girl, kind and has a warm heart and I strongly believed she would in a way melt my brother's cold heart. I have always wanted to see a smile on his face. I strongly believed Aubrey would be the perfect girl for the task. ******** Aubrey's POV The silence in the car was killing me bit by bit from the inside. The only sound that could be heard was the soft pattering sound of the rain. I gazed over at Jake but his eyes were firmly kept to the road, only switching from the road to the rear mirror. If I were to give this ride a title i'd title it 'A ride with Mister cold face.' "Sharon is a bright child, she is smart and brilliant." I tried to start a conversation. "Hm." Was all he said. "Cold face" I muttered silently and looked out the window. The rest of the ride remained the way it was 'silent'. He drove up to my dorm's driveway and I alighted from the car. I wanted to thank him for the ride but the stupid boy drove off. I bet he couldn't wait for me get out of his sight in the first place. Then I heard someone whistled behind me. I turned sharply to the person and it was Sarah "That was one hell of a car." She gushed "Hey Sarah." I greeted. She must be have came from the grocery store because she had paperbag in her hand with food supplies in it. "Hey." She greeted. "Tell me, who was that Hmm? ." She waggled her eyebrows. We walked back to our room. "Who was that?" She asked again immediately we entered into the room. "Sarah" i chortled "What? Come on tell me." She dropped the paperbag on her desk and focuse on me. "You wouldn't want to know." I said while taking off my jacket. "Why wouldn't I want to know?" She asked muddled. "Because you wouldn't want to" I repeated. "Tell me first." She pressed. "Fine. That was Jake." I dropped the bomb "Which Jake?" Her eyebrows knitted "The same Jake you know." "Hold on. Jake Henderson?" She asked. "Yeah." I confirmed. "What?" Why would he bring you home?" She asked surprised "Erm..... Actually, I am his sister's tutor." I affirmed and I placed my jacket in my wardrobe. "He has a sister?" She inquired. "Yeah. A cute one at that." I remarked. "That's nice." "Yeah." "I can't believe you've gotten close to him in the past couple of days. I mean you've always wanted to." "We are not close" I cleared the misunderstanding. "I only go there to tutor his sister and today was the first day." I explained. "Whoa! So, you've been to his house?" She raised an eyebrow. "Yeah." "I heard his father is super rich." "Oh. They are suuuuper rich." I admitted. "Really?! Then tell me everything?" She ordered. I told everything her she wanted to know. ******* It was Sunday, another day to tutor Sharon. She had called me earlier to make sure I was coming. It was the normal arrangement as Saturday's, the driver, the pickup and the house. I got to Sharon's room and we started the session. After our normal fixed two hours, the class session ended and i packed my stuff into my backpack, preparing myself to go home. "How was the ride with Jake last night?" Sharon inquired. "Well, you know your brother." I sighed out and I took a sip from my juice "You guys didn't talk, did you?" She questioned . "With who? Him? Oh please." I rolled my eyes. "I even tried to start up a conversation but he said nothing." I elaborated. "I knew that would happen. He has always been that way." She shook her head. "He's been cold towards you too?" I asked "I have always been an exception when it comes to his coldness towards others." "Actually, I have never seen him smile." She heated big sigh. "He has never smiled? Not even at you?" I asked. "No. He does talk to me but he has never shown an emotion. He is always cold and distant. My dad said his emotions died with my mom." "Oh My God. I am so sorry to hear that. I never knew your mom is no more." I grieved. "It's okay. I don't want to talk about it." She sniffled. I felt bad for them. I dread the feeling of not having my Mom alive. "Hey, come on, don't cry." I moved closer to her and pulled her to my chest. "I would give anything to see him show any emotion." She sobbed. "I would love to see him smile too." I said. "Really?" She looked up at me with glossy eyes. "Yeah" I nodded. "Actually, I think I might have a little something for your brother, here." I pointed to my heart and chuckled softly.. "You think or you do? She raised an eyebrow. "You sound like my best friend Kate" I rolled my eyes. "Well?" She pressed. "Fine" I looked heavenward "I do" I affirmed. "According to Kate's definition, It was love at first sight for me." I explained. "Whoa! Does he know?" "I don't know but he must have sensed it." "I have a confession too." She bite her lip. "What confession?" I asked muddled "I deliberately asked Jake to drive you home last night." She closed her eyes and peeped at me with one eye. "What?! Why?" "Because I want you two to be together." She whined. "I felt, you could melt his cold heart with your warmth and make him feel love again." She confessed. "Sharon, Jake is hard to deal with." "I know but please, don't give up on him yet. I believe you can make him a loveable man." "How sure are yo-" Then a knock from the door interjected our conversation. "Little Miss? The car is ready to take Miss Jones back." James announced. "I will be right down." I said back to the him. "I guess it's home time." "Please, think about what I said. Okay?" "I will try to." I picked my backpack from the cushion, placed my stuffs back and slopped it over my shoulder. "Till next Saturday, Little Miss." I Mimicked . "You are not allowed to address me in such way." She warned and I chortled. I wished I could see Jake one last time before going back to my dorm but according to Sharon, he doesn't live in the house. But why?. ******* Hello Lovelies?
