"Mum I'm tired" Sam complained after two hours of trudging after my mum.
"Same" I quickly agreed
"Maria Carolina James, stop lying to me you spend more time shopping with your friends on a regular bases." Mum said in an accusing tone.
"She has a point." Sam agreed with a chuckle. I glared at both of them before saying "Yah that is when I'm shopping for myself and I don't have to deal with Lorenzo here whining constantly." At this point I could feel the corners of my mouth turn up in a grin. Mum let out a long suffering sigh and muttered "Why did I ever think it was a good idea to have four kids." To which me and Sam let out a chuckle and shared an amused look knowing full well that most of us weren't even planned except for Sam. Then mum added "If you two stop acting like little kids then I'll get you a drink from McDonald's since its right there." We both nodded eagerly while she sighed once again and said "Come on then." But as I looked towards McDonald's I stopped "Um... Mum it's kind of packed in there." I said eyeing the bustling restaurant," Why don't you guys go in and I'll wait out here."
"Darling are you okay?" I looked away from the restaurant and looked at my mum to see her eyes filled with concern. Right there on the spot my heart melted a bit as I realised how lucky I actually am.
"Mum don't worry I'm fine. I just don't want to go in a busy place right now."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes I'm sure."
"Okay then."
"By the way mum can you get me a mocha Frappe instead of a milkshake." To which she lets out a small chuckle before nodding.
"Do you want me to stay with you?" I look up to see Sam looking down at me with concern shining bright in his eyes.
"No go with mum I'll be fine." I say with a reassuring smile.
With a sigh I stepped back to a less busy place and took out my phone as I had heard it go of. With a smile I opened the message realising it was from my best friend chat.
Helium:
Yo what the f*** do we have to do for the science homework.
Me:
I wouldn't know cause I was completely spaced out in lesson today and I haven't looked at it cause I'm at the mall rn.
As I hit send someone crashes into me making me lose grip on my phone and I stumbled back nearly crashing onto the floor.
"Sh*t! I'm so sorry!" Says a deep voice causing a shiver to run down my spine. I look up to see who the voice belongs to and suck in a sharp breath because f**k who looks like this. The guy is around my age probably a 6"2 to my 6ft, has curly brown hair some of it falling on his forehead making my hand itch to push them back, he's wearing glasses which totally work for him and behind those glasses are the most beautiful pair of eyes I have ever seen. They are like chocolate brown with like gold flecks in them.
Mystery guy kind of clears his throat making me snap out of my wired trance and realise I was completely staring at him. I quickly look down my face burning and realise that my phone is still on the floor. Welcoming the excuse to hide my burning face I quickly crouch down to pick it up.
"Is it okay?" Mystery guy asks.
"What?" I ask dumbfounded.
"Your phone. Is it okay?"
I looked down at it to inspect it and realised it was fine. "Yeh its fine."
"Oh thank god. Sorry again about earlier. I lost my sister and was running out of JD to find her and didn't see you and crashed into you." He explains with a light chuckle. "I'm Bailey by the way."
"Maria. And it's okay. I would have been pissed if my phone broke and probably would have killed you but since its fine we're cool." He lets out a light laugh at this which again causes me to shiver involuntarily. I swear I don't even know the guy and he has a weird effect on me. I then got an idea to help him find his sister.
"Hey if you don't mind me asking how old is your sister that you have lost."
"11, and I swear if I don't find her my mum is going to kill me."
"Yeh I know the feeling my brother and sister are the same age, their twins. And why don't you call her.'
"Oh my god, yeh I am so dumb." He says pulling out his phone while I giggle at his enthusiasm.
"Yeh well I guess I'll see you around." I say spotting mum and Sam come out of McDonald's. As I turn to leave I feel someone's hand on my wrist sending a shot of electricity up my arm.
"Hey um... since I owe you for nearly breaking your phone can I um... get your number or something?" he asked uncertainty laced in his voice.
"Yeh sure hold on." I reply trying to keep my voice nonchalant but inside I'm doing a happy dance while shouting the hot guy wants my number, THE HOT GUY WANTS MY NUMBER!! While all this is running through my head I pull my phone out and hand it to him and he hands me his and I start to put my number in. Suddenly I hear my name being called out and I look over at Sam who shouted,
"Maria sbrigati. (Hurry up)"
"Un attimo! (one sec)" I call back as I pass Bailey his phone back.
"So I'll see you around?" he asks hesitantly
"Yeh I guess." I say trying to stay nonchalant "Don't forget to find your sister." His eyes widen as I say this.
"Oh my god. Mum is going to kill me." He mutters starting to walk off.
"Call her!" I shout after him.
"Thanks I will!" He shouts back pulling out his phone. I walk back over to mum and Sam.
"Who was that?" They both ask in sync. But Sam has his eyes narrowed and is eyeing the spot where we were standing. And mum has a slightly exited look on her face.
"No one." I answer grinning from ear to ear as I grab my drink from mum.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
As I flick aimlessly through my TV I hear mum call me from downstairs.
"Si!" I answer.
"Can you come down and listen to me please." I sigh and reluctantly get of my bed and while I'm walking out my door I bang my shoulder on the door frame. Wincing and rubbing my shoulder I curse the door and get downstairs without further accidents.
"Can you... what did you do now?" She asks in an amused tone while eyeing the way I'm still rubbing my shoulder.
"The door got in my way." I grumble with a slight smile. You see this is nothing new I have so many bruises from banging into anything and everything it's unreal. Mum just laughs lightly and shakes her head at me. "Anyway can you go with the twins to the new neighbours and give them this cake and bouquet." She gestures towards the stuff on the hallway table.
"Mum can't Sam go." I whine "My feet still hurt from your shopping spree."
She gives me a playful glare while saying "he's showering otherwise I would have told him."
"Fine I'll go."
Thanks sweetheart."
"Leo, Ella come on!" I call for the twins.
"Where are we going Mari?" Ella asks eagerly
But mum answers instead "I want you both to go with your sister to the new neighbours to give them a present."
"Okay mum" they both say in union.
"Come on then trouble." They both giggle and follow me out.
I let Leo ring the doorbell because he wants to and we wait for someone to answer. The door is answered by a girl around the age of Leo and Ella.
"Hi" She says excitedly. But before we can answer a very familiar voice says from behind her.
"Lil who is it?" I just stare at him in shock. When he sees me a smirk breaks out on his face.
"How's your shoulder Maria?"
