I smiled as i alighted from Kelly's car.
"Thanks for the ride" I said.
"You are welcome Tamara...it's nice having you in the car with me" He smiled.
"See you tomorrow...bye" I waved at him.
"Bye" he waved back before Leo drove off..
I smiled and turned back only to bump into Bryan.
I flinched.
"Damn! Bryan why do you like scaring my ass off" I said.
"Mara,Why did you leave like that?" He asked.
"Because i had to! Ellen won't get off if i don't" I said.
"You should have at least answered my calls instead of getting into a stranger's car" He said.
"It's Kelly's car and Kelly is not a stranger to us,i didn't want to get in at first but i had no choice.." I said.
"Ohh...that was Kelly's car?" Bryan asked.
"Yeah it was" I said.
"Okay i didn't know" he said.
We both stood there staring at each other..
My heart couldn't stop accelerating as i stared into Bryan's eyes.
That feeling arose and i felt myself wanting him more than ever.
The feeling i have for Bryan is indescribable...I love him so much!
Does this mean Bryan is starting to like me or probably having feelings for me?
I jolted out of my thoughts when Bryan cleared his throat.
"Are you starting to grow grey hair?" Bryan asked picking out a strand from my hair.
'Damn! He was looking at my hair all this while and i was thinking otherwise, thinking he's probably having feelings for me' I thought and nearly cried.
"It's just a strand" I said looking at the tiny grey hair in his hand.
When did i started growing grey hair?
Well...i hope it's normal.
The gate opened..
Liam stepped out.
"Good afternoon Liam" Bryan greeted.
"What's up B?" Liam said patting Bryan's back.
"I'm fine bro" Bryan smiled.
"So you both have been outside... we've been expecting you,i was about coming over to your school" He said.
"How's Max?" I asked.
"He will be discharged tomorrow but he won't drive for a week or two" Liam said.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yeah"
"So who's gonna be driving me to school and back to the house?" I asked.
"Bryan will. Bryan won't you?" Liam asked.
"Of course i will...I'm not complaining" Bryan said.
Damn! I will have to face Ellen's problem for a week or two.
"So Bryan would you like to come in?" Liam asked..
"No i have to go now" Bryan said.
"Okay...Mara come in,Mum just made chocolate cake with whipped cream" Liam said making my smile widen.
Liam took my hand and we both walked in.
I turned back only to see Bryan walking behind us.
"What? I thought you said you are leaving" I said.
"Yeah, I was. But i can't miss the chocolate cake" He said and i laughed.
Of course no one will want to miss my mum's chocolate cake 😉
Even you!
🥧🥧🥧
Bryan,Liam,mum and i sat in the living room, watching a movie and eating the delicious and fluffy chocolate cake mum made
Rollins and James are outside chatting over some slices of cake with whipped cream.
I've freshened up and changed into a pink jumpsuit with my hair flowing down my back.
I don't really apply lip gloss but i did and that's because of Bryan.
"Wow...I have to get going,time is far spent" Bryan said eating the last slice of cake in his plate.
"Hold on,let me wrap some cake for your mum" Mum said.
"Ok Mum" Bryan said.
Mum walked to the kitchen.
I stood up from the couch getting ready to escort Bryan outside.
"Wow,the jumpsuit looks nice on you" Bryan said making my cheeks turn red immediately.
"Thanks" I said turning away only to see Liam winking at me.
I sent him a glare and he laughed singing Fatty Tam quietly.
I feel like taking Bryan's empty plate and hitting it right in the middle of his head.
Mum returned with half of the cake wrapped in a foil paper,then the whipped cream in a covered plate.
She packed it in a small box before handing it to Bryan who grinned approvingly.
"Thanks Mum" He said.
"Alright dear,my greetings to your Mum"
"Bye bro" Bryan said to Liam who waved.
He cant talk cause of the cake stuffed in his mouth.
I walked Bryan outside the house,we met James and Rollins laughing and I'm not surprised to see an empty plate beside them.
Rollins saw us approaching.
"Wow...I gotta go buddy" he said to James and they shook each other.
"Bye Bryan" I said.
"Bye see you tomorrow" he said.
I smiled and walked back into the house.
Why is my cheeks getting hotter and probably redder even when Bryan had left.
🌹Kelly's POV🌹
I placed the pillow over my ears to stop myself from hearing Mum and dad fighting in the living room.
That has been a daily occurrence...they fight almost everyday!
They quarrel everytime...i wonder why they got married and gave birth to me in the first place.
I wish i was never born!
They are the reason i don't allow friends into my house,they are the reason i left Vaulint Hill high school.
I remembered when i invited Tony and Eric my bestfriends over to my house.
Suddenly my parents started fighting... throwing things, hitting theirselves, until a broken glass hit Tony right in the head..
He fainted immediately and was quickly rushed to the hospital.
His parents were pissed and threatened on sueing my parents but the case was buried due to how influential dad is.
Since then,i was isolated at school...everyone was avoiding me like a plague.
I got so lonely and fed up,i managed to graduate grade 7 before telling Dad that i need a transfer.
I was transferred to Makers high school and i resumed on the forth day of resumption which is today cause i was at the hospital treating my cut arm.
My parents had mistakenly threw a knife blade at me while they were fighting.
I love my parents so much,they are all i have ... Even if they fight every minute and second they still remain my parents.
I removed the pillow away from my head when i noticed the noise had died down.
I stood and walked out of my room,then descended the stairs to the living room.
I met no one there,but met the living room messed up.
I walked to the table to pick my phone when i felt a sharp pain tore through my feet.
I quickly sat on the couch raising up my leg to inspect my bleeding feet.
I saw a broken glass pierced into it,the cut is quite wide.
I cleaned the tears i didn't know were flowing down my cheeks.
It's okay...this isn't the first time.
What do you think about Kelly's family?
And What do you think about Mara's sudden growth of grey hair?... isn't that weird!
