I LOVE HIS LAUGH

From this chapter onward I will show you how their childhood was

Christine POV

The days past flew fast and now it is Saturday, Daryl and Aunty Michelle will visit me today. It's kind of odd that Daryl will always play with me despite the fact that before we met he always played with his dad. When I asked my mom about this she gave a sympathetic look, she told me that Aunt Michelle's family is having a hard time and Daryl doesn’t have any idea about this so I should always be a good friend to him. Even though my mom didn’t say to me that I should be a good friend to Daryl I will be a good friend to him, because he is my only true friend. I was waiting for him for a longtime finally he is here, he rang my doorbell and when I open my door I saw him with Aunty Michelle but when I open my door I saw how terrible Aunty Michelle is, I saw that she have two eye bags and her hair is a mess her clothes are shabby and she look like she haven’t eat anything. I smiled at her and hugged her. She looks like she needs it and that darn brat glares at me, can’t he see how terrible his mother looks right now. That Darn brat pushes me, I almost fell, Aunty Michelle talks to him and he looks at me and his eyes squint. Okay now what did I do?

I went to my mom after letting them inside the house. I told her that we should help Aunty Michelle whatever she is into, she hugged me and touched my cheeks with her hand and said that we will do whatever we can to help aunty Michelle. Daryl and I went upstairs and just as I promised I would show him my manga collection, I showed it to him. I showed him my Horimiya, Sousei no Onmyouji and Kimetsu no Yaiba manga.

Well at first he is just staring at them but I know his personality, being with him for a long time I know his behavior. “Daryl I will ask mommy to make us a juice you should stay here I will bring our juice once mommy is done to make them” I went downstairs and I saw that Aunty Michelle is crying I do not know the reason but I think it is bad to listen to someone else’s story without their knowledge, so I walk toward them and I am pulling the hem of my mommy’s dress, when she look at me my mom Immediately gave me a smile and hug me I hugged her back and I look at Aunty Michelle I said “Aunty Michelle do you want a hug?” she smiled at me and wiped her tears and she hugged me. I pat her back with my small hands, this is the only way I know how to comfort other people. I looked at my mom and asked her “Mommy can you make us juice?” of course baby she answered back. I was so happy when my mommy gave me two cups of juice and a tray for me to hold them and bring them with me to my room. When I was at my door I didn’t immediately open my door. I open it slightly and look for Mr. Know it all (Daryl) well just like what I predicted. He is sitting on the top of my bed while holding one of my favorite manga Kimetsu no yaiba. I opened my door and told him “hey Mr. know it all you might want to help me with this tray, because I would really appreciate it” he raised his brows and said “ did you just call me Mr. Know it all?” I stared at him, and I said “why what is wrong with it? You always call me brat” he laughs, this i***t laughs, but I cannot say that I don’t like his laugh because that would be a lie. I love hearing his laugh, I love making him happy, I love when I annoy him for simple things and he will not be mad at me. “I am reading your manga and I think it is good. Can I read the rest?” he asked me while helping me with the tray.” Mr. Know it all you can borrow it, you just read the beginning not the whole story, but promise me that you will take care of it and will not tear it. Because those manga are my treasures, okay?” fine I will take care of some of your treasures for the meantime, happy? He said, “ of course” I answered back at him.

He look at me for some time while we are drinking the juice and asked me” when we are at school what time did you read those manga’s?” he asked me, well I smiled at him, a childish smile and said “when you are sleeping” hey I never sleep during class hours, he answered back “ Well Mr. Know it all you always sleep in class hours don’t lie, that is why you always forget that we have a quizzes, projects and assignments to pass” he smiled at me and we both laugh “ yeah I do” he answered back and we both laugh. The day flew by so fast and we had to bid goodbyes with each other.
