I can say love is beautiful when you find the right person, that's how my relationship with Jason can be described. A normal girl dating a movie star, i think that is the title that can fit this kind of love. Although am dating a celebrity, a movie star, personally i hate publicity and that is the case of Jason's life. Always being followed by Paparazi everywhere, reporters are always on your back trying to know your private life. To some points i feel like being a star sucks,because you can't have peace. Despite all this, we tried as hard as possible to keep our relation a secret, since me with public life don't get along.
Days went by as our love grew more deeper and strong. On the other side, Della my roommate and friend was dating an a doctor that meant none of us spent the weekends on our room since we all had somewhere to spend the weekend. That went on for sometime till Della moved from the college dorm rooms to live with his boyfriend. That meant i had to stay alone in that room since i could not be assigned a new roommate in the middle of the semester.
Time really flew too fast until it was time for us doing the exams that marked the end of our college year. Sitting for the finals with finishing power, i was excited because i was going to move in fully with Jason. But unfortunately that did not happen, instead of moving in with Jason, i was moving to a new city since in that city is where i got accepted by Organic books club as a reviewer.
Despite knowing that am leaving Jason behind, i had to go because i needed to secure my job. Jason had promised to be visiting me every weekend and even asked me to visit him everytime am free and i feel like visiting. I was glad because despite the distance, he was going to create time for us.
Jason helped me to move to my new place, he bought me some stationeries and things i needed since i had no enough money to pay my rent and to buy my personal stuffs. After i had settled in my new place, Jason went back to his home since he had a movie that he needed to shoot in a few days.
The following day i reported to work early enough so that i could be directed on what to do. Reviewing a book is not as easy as it seems but i can say i love it simply because am always in love with reading books and novels, and for a book to be reviewed, the reviewer need to have read the whole book, and as an introvert who was always into books, that was the best job for me that is why am proud to be a book reviewer and an Editor.
On Saturday i woke up feeling weak, nausea and migraine, at first i thought it hangover from Friday night since i had gone clubbing with my workmates then reality hit me, i had just missed my periods. Could it be that am pregnant, but no i don't think because i always play safe. So i pushed those thoughts aside and focussed on other things. I went to my mini kitchen to prepare myself breakfast. Being a weekend, i was expecting Jason to arrive anytime, so i started immediately to clean my appartment. I was on the middle of my cleaning when i heard the door bell ringing, peeping on the key hole before opening was always my routine but since i was expecting Jason, i just opened without checking who it was. Opening the door, i was surprised to see my mom standing at my door yet none of my family members knew where i lived.
After my college i decided to find a job rather than going back home since staying at home always make me feel less loved since all the attention of my parents is always on Mellanie. I was still on my own thoughts when my mom spoke.
"Young girl, getting a job, having your own appartment doesn't mean you cannot talk to your parents. Ariel when was the last time you were home. Why can't you be like Mellanie, she still living with us despite the fact that she is working and earning her own money."
There she goes again, i always hate being compared to my sister. Parents should know that children are not the same, but my mom always think since i and Mellanie share the same blood ,so we should be behaving the same way.
"Ariel, we are still planning your sister's wedding and that is something you cannot miss to attend." My mother said pushing the door further and entering in.
"Okay mom." That's the only thing i managed to say to her after that all lecture.
"Okay to what,i don't understand." My mom asked.
"To coming to Mellanie's wedding." I replied softly to avoid annoying her.
After serving her a drink, i went to my room , took my phone and send Jason a quick text not come because my mom was there. I had not even tapped the send button when the door bell rang, i knew it was Jason. The speed that i used to rush to the door, even the speed of lightening could not reach that. I did not open my door wide to avoid my mom from seeing Jason. I had to talk to him and let him know about my mom being in my appartment and due to that he could not come in, but Jason being himself, he understood and went back.
"Who was that?" Was the first question my mom asked me when i entered the appartment.
"Just a friend." I replied as i took the Tv remote to switch it on.
"What kind of friend was that, one whom you cannot even allow to meet me."There goes my mother again.
l just ignored her question as search for my favourite movie, Friends.
My mom stayed in my appartment for three days before going back home after warning me about what will happen to me if i miss Mellanie's wedding. Not that i was even planning on missing it, we might not be getting along but after all she was my sister and i could never miss to see her in the happiest day of her life. All siblings have misunderstanding but those misunderstanding doesn't prevent them from being siblings.
