Hopefully, if she was going to get mad at me for staying out longer than planned, the sight of Chelsea would calm her down a little.
I'm sorry Chels, but you're getting useful for me right now.
"Here I am." I announced as I stood by the kitchen's entrance, my arms around Chelsea as I cradled her to my chest, my whole attention focused on my mother who was currently slicing a round melon into smaller pieces on a cutting board, the sounds of the knife meeting the board resounded around the kitchen on and on.
She looked up from what she was doing, her head covered by a big wine coloured bonnet, her mouth tugging into a small smile on sighting Chelsea in my arms.
"You found Chelsea. Even if I am not sure you noticed her absence in weeks" She stated, her gaze rak
"Oh, with this friend of yours, am I right?" She inquired, her gaze thankfully not focused fully on me this time but on the counter she was mopping with a hand towel."Yup." I muttered out a reply as I placed Chelsea back on the floor before walking towards the fridge to deposit the carton of drink Silas insisted I take home."So, it's a date or...?" She trailed off in hope of me filling up the blank spaces."Not a date, a hospital outing." I informed her.She stopped what she was doing to look at me for a few seconds before redirecting her attention back to the counter she was wiping off."What's wrong?" She demanded."Nothing really, just me trying to check my stomach." I explained to her, her eyes falling on my last few words."When you'd refuse to eat every time." Mum reminded me, a hurt look on her beautiful face, one which should never g
Dressed in a jogger trousers and a matching jacket, I loosely held unto the chain attached to Chelsea's collar as we walked slowly on the smooth part not far from home.It was a some minutes to seven, with only a few people on the street since it was a Sunday and many people were going to be sleeping in today since it isn't a working day today.I made up my mind to take a walk today when sleep decided to not visit me throughout the night, and since my dog is around, I brought her along to keep me company.Not like we're going to be talking or anything, but at least I have an excuse to ignore everybody and state down at Chelsea instead of greeting people I don't feel like.I got tempted to plug in my earpieces to my phone and distract myself with music on this short walk but then I had to force myself to remember that this isn't a movie and that I might get hit by a moving vehicle if I can't he
"Now smile."I rolled my eyes at him as I turned away from the camera and returning into my former position of my back resting on the backrest of the sofa."Come on!" He pressed but I ignored him as I picked my phone up from the sofa and made to unlock it."I'm not interested in seeing the pictures." I informed him as I opened the phone.05:49pm. Says the time, I never could have thought that we'll be going somewhere from the hospital today.I collected two injections, and I have six more scheduled for three more days.The pain I went through the hands of the nagging nurse, in my life I hate being sick.I kept reminding myself how it's totally my fault that I got in that predicament as she inserted the needle in my left arm, and it hurt like hell.Let's just say, I acted like a big girl while collecting i
I paused beside him as I shook my head at him before voicing out my thoughts."I'll fall off.""No, you won't. I'll hold you from behind and I'll go slow on you seeing how scared you look just now." He explained as he patted the empty seat again."Who said I was scared?" I demanded."You didn't need to, it was written clearly over your pretty face." He argued with an amused laugh."It wasn't." I denied almost immediately as I turned around and sat on the swing seat without thinking."Wait-" I started to say but the words died in my throat when it suddenly felt like the earth was trying to cover me under it's fine sand, right before It felt like I was flying in the air again.'Bastard!' He fucking pushed the swing when I obviously wasn't ready.I held unto the handle of the swing tightly with my eyes shut tightly as a
I stepped into the house and pulled the door closed behind me, different excitement filled voices crackled around in the air to my amusement.Chelsea wagged her tail at me the moment I walked through the door.The voice was mainly coming from the kitchen which I made my way to almost immediately, I was dying to set my eyes on them.An amused smile graced my lips on seeing the three children huddled over one iPad as they disagreed over the game they were supposed to be playing at the moment."Fay! You're back." Mum gushed immediately she sighted me hanging by the door of the kitchen as she made a hand gesture for me to come in instead of standing stiffly by the door."Aunty Fay! Oh my gosh you're so beautiful!" One of the three girls who were arguing over the iPad gushed as she drank me in through her eyes.She looked like a ten years old, but she definitely ac
"There's something about you, something different and fresh like a new gift yet unwrapped, waiting to be pealed off carefully." "At first, I thought it was just a normal attraction, but then somehow I started admitting to myself that it was more than that. Before I knew it, you were always in my head. Be it morning, afternoon, evening and night. Heck, I dream about you once in a while too." I sat up stiffly on the seat of the swing as I drank in all he was softly saying into my ear, his heated breath fanning softly against the sensitive spot behind my ear."Somewhere, somehow, you got into my head and stayed there. I still think it's weird though, this constant edging feeling biting my insides with warmth." He pulled me closer till my whole back was firmly pressed into his chest and his lips pressing into the curve of my ear.
"Fay! You have a call from Silas, and we mistakenly accepted the call."Ashley sheepishly called out from the doorway of my room while Whitney held out the phone out in my direction.Ashley and Whitney could perfectly pass on for twins with how they do things together and let's not forget how identical they look coupled with the fact that they were nearly the same height with Whitney only a little bit taller than her immediate younger sister, Ashley."You mistakenly accepted it?" I asked with narrowed eyes as I collected the phone from Whitney's outstretched grip."I swear Aunty F... I mean Fay, it was a mistake. You know, we were just busy watching BTS on YouTube when the call came through and my finger mistakenly tapped it." Ashley explained as she moved her hands around then she mistakenly hit Whitney on the tight with her wandering hands.Whitney only scowled at her younger sister befo
"And, we should face time in the nude too!"Wait, whuut?!"I mean, it could be fun and you know..." He trailed off as he wiggled his eyebrows playfully, all traces of seriousness gone from his face, his goofy, playful side back in place."You're high." I informed him with an amused eye roll.A ping came from my phone which was dropped behind the Mac by a very hyper Ashley the moment the call connected with Silas's about an hour ago or so.I bended forward to retrieve the phone, the small exclamation of 'Fuck!' stopped me for a few seconds before I reached forward a little bit more till I reached the phone and returned back to my normal position.My mouth suddenly went dry when I caught Silas's heated gaze on my boobs, he lifted his gaze to my face, our eyes locking intently."Fuck, I didn't know you weren't wearing anything underneath
And before I could even think about it, I started telling him about my baby brother, James.I didn't even know when the tears started to fall until Silas swiped his thumb against a tear slipping down my cheeks in folds.I pulled away from his reach till I sat at the very edge of his bed as I motionlessly continued to tell me about how growing up with him was.How exciting and eventful the few years I got to spend with him felt, how the years he lived were probably my most meaningful years in my whole life.I could feel the tears pouring down my cheeks as I sobbed quietly, not even a tearful sound escaped my lips as I went on and on about how James was everything.Till I killed him."When I noticed my change in behavior, there wasn't really anything I could do about it. Sometimes I'll just cry for no reason. Other times I'll just starve myself for reasons unknown to me, sometimes I get so confused and lost inside of my own body and it's hard to
I rubbed my sweaty hands up and down my gown as I tried to look away from the doorway as it creaked open again, the sound vibrating then stopping like it has been doing for the past hour.I felt a light tap on my shoulder and looked back at a smiling amara.
Ember's pov. 'I'll prepare your favourite dish tonight, make sure you don't miss it. I'm serious this time.'
"It's not your fault he died. It's not."I shook my head in denial as I tried to mentally block out all Silas was saying while I tried focusing on my breathing which suddenly ceased for a few seconds due to how hard I was crying.It was a Monday, three days after the session I had with my therapist. Three days after I spoke with Michael. Three days after I finally admitted to my self that I had somehow fallen in love without even realising it.It was supposed to be just a simple hangout where by I'll get to talk with Silas and maybe kiss and do we other stuff for a little bit before I'll finally head home.It wasn't supposed to have a very emotional talk, it wasn't.Somewhere along the line, I found myself in Silas room. This time, I had ventured into his room for the first time, not just his sitting room and kitchen.To say his room was fine was putting it to
"I've missed you so much, Sisi.""Oh, come on! I thought we agreed not to call each other silly nicknames anymore?" Silas argued with Jordan, an amused laugh playing across his face."You started it, remember? You called me Jordie!""Aw, I was just joking, man." Silas explained but Jordan brushed him off with a shake of his head after pointing out to him that he was the one who started everything.They laughed before Timi, the third boy in the group of friends embraced Silas heatedly. It was pretty obvious about who Silas was really close with between the two guys.The only girl in the group of friends came forward and literally flew into Silas outstretched hands who immediately wrapped themselves around her waist as he lifted her from the ground for a little bit before finally releasing her.I watched, an amused expression on my face as they exchanged p
