Don't let your happiness depend on something you may lose. C. S. Lewis.
Chapter 24.
The knot I had in my stomach where getting on my nerves, my mom had prepared lunch and asked so many questions I couldn't give answers to.
Alex had dropped me off few minutes back after I had told him about his friends, I believe something was wrong but he didn't let me know.
I wonder what happened?
"Reid would love to meet you, without your spitfire attitude" she jokes.
"Don't you think I would love to meet him too without his pants down" I also joked.
"Angie" she calls, I chuckled slightly same goes to her.
"What do you think of Reid?" She asked.
I was in the kitchen, washing dishes but when I heard her statement I walked up to her. I sat on the couch she was seated on.
"Mom, tell me. If I thought he was a murderer would you leave him?" I asked back.
She smiled for a second but reasoning. She nods a slight no.
I knew she would do that.
"My opinions doesn't matter" I said and leaned my hands on hers. "Go for him."
She smiled and said. "Your opinion do matter Angela."
She added. "Moreover, you talk about going after. Don't you think you and Ale-"
"Mom!"

I had told Isabella I had a surprise for her, she might be probably thinking is a Crescent moon earrings or Instax camera maybe a macrame photo display. Anyway she wasn't in told me she had gone home for personal issues.
I Wondered what happened with her sister.
I reached Isabella's house and texted her I was outside. It would be preferable she come open up.
"Hi"
The voice was clearly gesturing to me, I had to turn to check who it was. To my greatest surprise.
"Mason?" I asked.
"Ouch Angela, not pleased to see me?" He replied.
I nodded a no, I was surprised because he was at Isa's door step same with me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, my smile had formed a little.
He looked from the door to me and said. "Is it obvious am desperate" he said.
I laughed slightly.
"Desperate for-?" I asked.
He nodded to himself and said. "Forget it Angela, am here for Emma. You know her? Why are you here?" He asked.
"Yes sure, she is Isabella's sister. Isabella is my best friend." I clarified.
He raised his gaze and said. "Small world" he chuckled.
Yeah its probably a small world.
"So...how do you know Emma?" I asked. He got shocked with question somehow, maybe he wasn't expecting it.
"Angie!" Isa had called. I turned back to peer at her.
She was in a mini gown and her hair where being packed in a low pony tail.
***
"I literally don't talk to him, you should too" Isa said.
She was on the kitchen counter eating some fries, she had offered to me but I just ate lunch. She had told me the relationship between Mason and Emma.
Emma is out with Mason about a few minutes, Isabella came over because her mom wasn't around to look after the dog. It turned out that Mason and Emma attended the same school, Harvard!
She assumed they might be in a relationship, it was clear to me that Isa didn't like Mason and it would be bad if I joined her. She probably didn't know it was the Mason I told her about on that night.
"Do you know, she keeps leach on me every single hour" she said. She jumped down from the counter and disposed the remains of the fries she had been eating.
"Tell me about it" I listened.
"How does she know....I date James when she doesn't stay in the hostel" she said. I bit my lips hard. "Is she probably now a back to back witch, the movies says that."
She walked up to me, slowly and sat. I spoked. "I have something to cheer you up" I said.
She doubts, her face could give her away. So I decided to bring it out from the bagpack in my hands.
I made sure to bring it out slowly, so she would morn to see what I had been holding.
Finally bring it out, she looked confused.
I shoved it to her. "It's an authograph from all your best Players" I explained, grinning.
"How, how did you get this!" She exclaimed.
"Won't tell" I said.
She held it in her hands, she checked every name and smiled widely.
"Did you personal get this?" She asked. I nodded. "Since when did you...ah nevermind, Have I ever told you your the best" she said. She haven't before but it would be cool hearing it.
....
Mr Jude and Mrs Jude had finally showed up and Isa couldn't wait to leave, but we haven't yet left the doors when Mrs Jude had called Isa.
"I will be back" she said.
I nodded slightly.
Waiting for Isa on her couch I received a call and picked it immediately.
"Hello?"
"Gela?"
Oh no.
I removed it quickly from my ears and checked the dialer it was Alex.
I shoved it to my ears immediately. "You didn't save my contact?" He asked.
"I saved it but always deleted it when you get me angry" I said. I clearly lied.
"Hmm, given your friend the Ball yet?" He asked. He clearly teased me when I got the Authograph and now he cares about it.
Anyway I sincerely answered. "Yeah I just did."
"Okay" he hung up. Asshole.
Why did he call in the first place.
My eyes where turning dark, I was wondering what was taking Isa that long.
With a twinkle of an eye, I could see a flash light coming to my view. It was dark around here but the light could circulate the area with light.
The car wasn't familiar but when it had stop, I wondered if it was a neighbor that was probably lost. When it has stop, I leaned to check who it was.
A lady had walked out from the car and was heading to the opposite house of Isa's street.
Oh.
I removed my gaze immediately and back to the door, still waiting for Isa.
"I knew from the height it was my Gela!" A familiar voice snapped.
Turning my gape to who had spoken.
My jaw dropped...
"Alexander?" I mumbled.
He was walking to my direction, i could take a sight of his height and how tall he was, his foot steps where totally intimidating.
Smirking was his major deal, he had it on him the whole time he was walking.
"Alex" he clarifies.
I rolled my eyes.
"Still, how did you get here?" I asked.
He looked back to what I assumed was his car and back to me, so arrogant.
"I called and you told me, remember?" He said.
I blinked, I remember not telling him anything. I raised my gaze to him, his is still on his smirk. Was he trying to confuse me.
I shrugged it off cause I believe his going to either confuse me further or don't tell at all.
"Are you so nice that you dropped off an old lady today" I said but being sarcastic.
It was evidence that if the car over there where his then he probably carried the lady.
He didn't answer but stare at me.
"Where is your friend?" He asked bluntly.
I didn't answer at first cause I found it unusual for Alex to ask for Isabella.
"The old lady first, tell me am imagining things." I said and he chuckles.
His gape where on me when he said. "What do you want to know, my Gela" he said.
I stopped smiling and said "Purposely getting me angry with the my Gela thing" I said using my hands
"You don't seem angry" he said, he put his hands in his back pocket and brought out his face to me but not much.
Well, I didn't know if I was angry or not. Maybe I was angry....maybe I wasn't.
"Still changing the topic, Alexander"
"Alex" he clarifies.
Is it just me or does Alex get fisted when his called Alexander.
"Ale.....Xander" I giggled, when saying this one. Alex kind of smiled when I giggled.
"Gela is spicy tonight" He teased.
I raised my gaze to him, this was the first time we didn't have a fight or disagreement in our conversation. It wasn't like the first but it seemed nice seeing him smile.
"Angie am so sorry-" Isa snaps. She had paused for a while, she had clearly got both Alex and my attention. "Alex!" She argued.
She looked from me to Alex and slightly added. "Didn't know you where around?" She said.
She was definitely talking to Alex. Alex did not ulter a word but his gaze where on her.
"You must be Isabella?" He asked. There was a tune he used, it was so familiar. I believe is when his mocking, I immediately raised my gaze to his and I cut him giving that strange smile to her, when he noticed he shifted his gaze to me he smirked. "Gela was just telling me about your dog."
No i didn't.
His smirk where still displayed, Isa gazed at me with a surprised expression.
"You two are now-....?" Isa said and let us finished.
"Friends" I assumed, anyway I had to finish it before Alex did.
Alex on the other hand, had wiped his smile away. He was just staring at me, it made it look really awkward. I believe we where at least friends.
Isabella received a call and came whispering in my ears. "My boyfriend is taking me out on a date, sorry for ditching you. Moreover you have your new friend Alex, right?" She didn't wait for my response and gave me a slight peck on my cheeks.
"See you around Alex" she waved at him.
I turned to see as she runs into a car, which am sure was James. The shape of his head might had shown. Alex was also watching.
He is probably taking her to the party.
"She is dating James?" He asked. I raised my gaze to him, they are obviously friends why don't he knows.
I didn't answer for a while till I said. "Do you think he likes her?" I said. He chuckled bluntly.
"You are left with me, weren't going to stand all night." He said and took steps forward to his car.
"Is that a arrogant way of telling me to hop in your car?" I asked.
He just look back with his side face and smirked. "Good humour."
I laughed slighlty and hopped in.
When he was about taking off I said. "We aren't doing the My Gela thing, okay"
He raised his gaze to me and kept a shocked face. "I forgot, it seems you like it that's why you bring it up." He smirks and added "My Gela" then he winks at me.
Jerk.
