"Edward really likes you" Kyle broke the silence between us while we were walking "really?" i asked I mean we've talked and all but I don't think he really likes me like the way he is saying
"yes he does" he stated smiling before continuing "I remember the day I lost him at the park and when I saw him I was so relieved but when we got home he kept talking about you and he was calling you aunt which was surprising since he never calls anyone that but I dismissed it but seeing him today he really really likes you"
Wow! I feel so special I mean I just helped him and he likes me , I smiled at Kyle "I like Edward a lot too he is really sweet am really happy he likes me also" he returned my smile "am glad you like him too"
We continued walking in a comfortable silence until we reached the bus station "Thanks for walking me to the bus station it was really nice of you"I thanked him.
"No problem it was nice walking with you" he replied which made me blush a little but I looked down so he wouldn't see my face
"have a good night"I told him "have a goodnight" he repeated while smiling at me and showing his gorgeous dimples which I can't help but to admire before waving at me and walking away.
I turned my back at him after he left or I thought he left before he called my name "Hey Stacy" okay what is he still doing here I thought he was on his way already .
He approached me and I couldn't help but to ask "what are you still doing here?" I thought you were on your way home already" he just gave a sheepish smile "I was but then I remembered something"
"what is that?"i inquired arching my brow" I wanted to collect your phone number so we could communicate more" okay I did not expect that and this caught me off guard.
"m..my number?" I asked just to be sure and he nodded and brought his phone out so i could type my number, i didn't know why my my hands were shaking when i collected his phone and typed my number i guess i was nervous. but why?
"thanks for giving me i will text you so you could get my number also" I just nodded at him to which he smiled before waving at me for the second time and this time I waved back before he left and i boarded the bus.
When i got home I found my mother on the couch sleeping it was surprising since she almost never sleep in the couch, was she waiting for me? but she doesn't do that.
I was contemplating whether I should wake her up or not but knowing that she probably won't be comfortable on the couch i woke her up.
"oh you are back" she stirred at her sleep before sitting up on the couch and blinking her eyes a number of times an habit I also got from her when I wake up.
Ignoring her statement I asked "mom why did you sleep on the couch?" she sighed before gesturing her hand for me to join her on the couch .
She held my hands before saying "I know I shouldn't be worrying but ever since the death of Edward I can't help but to feel paranoid and worried about you"
She looked sad and worried and I understood why "mom am fine really" i reassured her but she didn't look convinced
I took her hands in mine and squeezed it lightly "mom I really am fine and am trying my best to move on and continue to live better and I actually made new friends"
I think saying I made new friends made her lighten up a little since she smiled at what I said "really?" she asked and i nodded
"who are they?" she asked about them and I told her everything from when i met Edward in the park ,meeting Alexa at the salon ,meeting Kyle and finding out that he is Edward's father.
She seemed to be intrigued by what I told her she then gave a smile which I found suspicious "so tell me what-" she was cut off by a ding on my phone.
I checked it and saw it was an unknown number
Unknown:
hey its me hope you got
home safeπ
I furrowed my eyebrow thinking who would send me the message before I remembered that it was Kyle who I gave my number.
"uh mom i want to go to my room now and sleep have a goodnight" I kissed her cheeks and didn't wait for her reply before I went into my room , i laid flat on my bed before i took my phone and replied
Stacy:
ah yes i got home
not quite long
thanks again for
walking me homeβΊ
I dropped by phone after replying and not even a second later there was a ding
Unknown:
you're welcome and no
problem i hope you come
more oftenβ.
Stacy:
yes sure I will as
long as Alexa's my
friend and Edward
likes meπ. I saved his number so I would stop seeing his name as 'Unknown'
Kyleπ:
so you wouldn't visit because of me?
That question made me feel bad I didn't mean it like that
Stacy:
I'm so sorry i really
didn't mean it like
that ππππππ
Kyleπ
πππππππ
I was just messing with ya
i really am not offended okay
A smile made a way to my lips when I read the message
Stacy:
thanks for not being
offendedπ€ by the way
how is Edward and
Alexa doing?
Kyleπ
Alexa's fast asleep
guess she was exhausted
well Edward is very much
awake playing video games.
Stacy:
what!π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦
shouldn't Edward
be in bed by now?
its late.
Kyleπ
its the weekend and
besides he doesn't sleep
this late I swear
Stacy:
okay if you say soπ
We continued texting each other and talked about random things like how my high school was for me but I didn't mention anything about Ethan to him cos i simply didn't want him to know about him
Kyle's really fun to text with and he never made me get bored texting him till i drifted to sleep.
