Chapter 5

Kourtney's POV:

"It's okay Miss Kourt-" said one of them but before she could continue what she was going to say I preceded her to speak.

"I am trying to practice doing it on my own because that's a basic thing to do, I want to get to used fixing my things and that is also what my Mom taught me." Then I smiled at them.

But in the back of my mind, "I'm sorry Lord if I lied, I just heard that story from Anya one of my friends at school."

They both smiled and look amazed at what I had said and they were happy to know things like this about me. Finally, they asked permission to come down to help prepare my dinner and will be back to call me once my dinner is ready.

I thanked them and as soon as they left my room, I went near my luggage and continued to open it and choose a nice dress to wear before I showed up to the Forgers and their friends.

I brought out my five favourite dresses that our personal shopper bought for me. From luxury brands, there is one dress from Dior, three from Chanel and then one from Hermes.

I requested that there should be more dresses from Chanel, unfortunately, they have a limited design for little girls, so our personal shopper only got three dresses. But it's okay than nothing.

Back then I didn't care about the brand of my dresses, as long as it looked good for me I'll wear or get the dress however I found out something... something about Mrs Forger.

Mom said she loves the Chanel brand, I want her to like me so much, for I don't know the reason why yet. So, I decided to wear or do what she likes or loves for me to capture more of her attention.

In the end, the one I chose to wear is the one I often wore when I was at home, a sporty baby pink crop top and high waist jean shorts. I put on the sneakers I was also wearing to go here to the Forgers and then I went to the bathroom to wash my face, to look fresher and then I tied my long hair with a high pony tail.

Before I left my room, as I had planned, I went to the balcony to look for the Forgers. As soon as I went out again I heard loud laughter and it looked like someone was still speaking out loud too, from somewhere.

"Where are you guys?" I said to myself and then I looked to my left where the garden is since I remember Miss Hazel said earlier they were in the garden.

And she was right, the Forgers and their friends were there.

The Forgers got a lot of friends I must say, it's a mix of men and women gathering together and having fun. Some laugh at the same time and some laugh in chorus. It looks like someone is telling a joke, as they sit on the large round wooden table, lots of food and a few bottles I also saw on the table. It looks like there are alcohol and soft drinks and other kinds of drinks. There is also a bonfire on the side, to keep them warm for sure.

My eyes immediately found Rush and Noah but I am having a hard time looking for the guy I wanted to see the most. 'Where is he?' I ask myself as I try to find him in the crowd then I heard someone say,

"Hey, Trav! That's enough make outs for tonight, it might end up to something steamy!" One man said everyone laughed after what he had said. I didn't get what the hell he was talking about so I didn't pay attention to it much. I am still busy looking for Travis. Where is he? Maybe he's back inside the house? To get food? Or maybe he's now resting in his room because based on the mess they have in the garden it looks like they have been there for some time now.

"Looks like Travis will score again tonight!" One of the Forgers brothers' friends added. Is he in some games? The reason why he is nowhere to be found?

That's when my hearing became alert. What does he mean? I asked myself confused and then I paid attention to my vision throughout the garden since I couldn't find Travis sitting there with their friends at the table.

Fortunately, I didn't bother to switch on the light here on the balcony since I didn't plan to stay longer here and so no one will know that I'm here and watching the Forgers with their friends have fun.

Until I find myself looking in the relatively dark part of their garden, at the very end of that part.

I was even nervous to see something suddenly move in the tall bushes; I remembered my experience last summer when I thought there was a ghost in the dining room but it was just Travis!

The tall bushes move like there is someone in it finding his or her way out. At first, I thought it might be a pet dog, but did the Forgets got a pet dog? I haven't seen one though. Now I'm getting confused.

And then I was surprised when I saw a woman who was just wearing a bra go out of the bushes! What the hell?! However what surprised me, even more, was the sudden fast heartbeat of my heart, that I even thought I had joined some running marathon and ran three times on the long track field. Now what the f is wrong with me?!

The woman I am seeing in the bushes is also breathless. What is she doing there? Did her friends and the Forgers know she was there? I immediately felt worried that something bad might have happened to her reason why she was there. Or maybe she's so drunk that she doesn't know what she is doing now. I have to alert the Forgers! The anxiety I am feeling was immediately replaced by the bitterness that started in my chest.

The woman was not the only one in the bushes, she was with someone. Someone I know. Not just some acquaintance that was introduced to me, but this man who is with her, is someone I know personally. Someone I admire secretly. And the man who was with him, I also know very well.

That's also where I realized why Travis' friends were cheering on him because he was doing something... or should I say what they call 'a miracle' with his woman. My heart hurts so bad right now.

Yes, I am just ten years old however I have friends at school who have big sisters at a higher grade level like Anya's big sister.

Anya's big sister is in grade six and just two years older than us and Anya told me that her sister already had two ex boyfriends and has also experienced her first kiss and second kiss.

At home, I have access to the internet and I also have my cell phone, I can search for anything using my phone and computer using the internet. I see a lot of things on the internet so I'm not that clueless about what older people do. I know the word s ex it's how people multiply. That's what my young mind knows.

Rush is fifteen years older than me, Noah is twelve years older than me and Travis is ten years older than me. While they are busy with their adult activities, here I am also busy playing some kind of girl's game. That only kids can relate.

The woman's companion in the bushes was Travis. Looks like they're not just kissing, it's more than that based on the woman's appearance. Messy hair and I'm sure if I look at her closely maybe her make up is also ruined! And her clothes...

They're doing 'it' there right now I am sure of that! And before I could hear their disgusting growls I entered my room and decided to just take a rest like what Miss Hazel wanted to happen. I also lost my appetite for dinner anyway.

I was so upset that I didn't even notice that I had fallen asleep and when I woke up and I checked my phone, it was past midnight. My stomach made a sound, as a sign that I am hungry, I caressed my stomach, hoping that my hunger would go away, but it made more sounds telling me I have to eat.

And there you go Kourtney, now you have no choice but to get up even though my eyes were still heavy and sore, for crying earlier. I plan to go down to the kitchen and then check for food that I can eat in the meantime.

I just hope there's fresh milk in the fridge that I can get to drink because I am sure, everyone is asleep since I can no longer hear any noise. And also I don't want to wake up any helper just so I can eat. I'm a big girl now and for sure there is something in the fridge that is ready to eat that I can get.

I slowly opened the door of my room and then I walked tip toe so I wouldn't make any noise, I was about to close the door of my room when I heard a deep baritone voice from behind me.

"Where are you going?" At the same time as I bit my lower lip, my heartbeat quickened. I slowly looked back at where the voice came from and when I faced my back, my face was covered with something hard and dark. What the hell is this?! However, as I recognized Travis' expensive perfume I already have an idea.

I immediately felt the hug of Travis' arm on my waist, to support me and not to fall from where I stood as both of my cheeks started to warm up because of shame and I am sure my fast is now red!

I stepped back a bit from where I was standing and that's when I noticed that my face hit Travis' chest.

"Travis!" Nervously and shocked I called his name. What is he doing here?!

He has a poker face facial expression again and has this aura that seems like he doesn't care about the people around him, or the things happening. I also noticed that he looked at my face down to my body as if he was checking me, I mean what I am wearing and then he turned his gaze back to my face.

"Where are you going?" He asked me again and before I could answer his question, he added another question.

"It's late and it's cold outside... why are you wearing clothes like that?" He asked me a little annoyed, based on the tone of his voice. I leaned against the back of my door before I answered him.

And there I remember the reason why I forgot to change my clothes earlier, I went straight to bed because I am disappointed. Disappointed with Travis. But I will never admit that I am disappointed with Travis's actions!

And there it flashed back in my mind as to why I ended up in my bed, why I choose to stay in my room rather than to see them in the garden. My heart started to beat fast again in a painful way.

Especially since I can't forget what I saw earlier about how he kissed his girlfriend and I'm pretty sure that, the girl he was with earlier is not Chiffon!

His forehead frowned and it was obvious that he was surprised at what I had done when I took a step backwards, away from him.

"Is there a problem?" He asked me using his deep baritone voice. His deep baritone voice always sounds sexy.

"N-no." I stuttered when I answered him and then I planned to re-enter my room again however my tummy keeps on vibrating and there’s a sound again, a sign that I can’t ignore my hunger! He sighed and I'm sure he knew why I’m trying to leave my room.

"Miss Hazel did tell me you don't eat dinner. You were asleep when they went up to call you for dinner."

‘Why do you care?!' I asked him in my mind.

"So you went out to eat dinner?" I can't stand my hunger anymore I can no longer focus on what Travis says.

Instead of answering his question, I walked and then I passed him to go down to the second floor and go to my kitchen. I rather look for food instead of dealing like a fool here with Travis.

"Kourtney!" He called my name again. Why is he tailing with me now? Where was the woman he kissed earlier?! Did she leave him? The reason why he's here with me, annoying the hell out of me?!

Does he know that when I'm hungry my patience is shorter.
