I was so reviled that Phill left, I grabbed my favourite Mango juice and sit down on the couch. I felt better since I was a bit tired of strolling around the shops with my jumpy cousin who was on everything.
I leaned back sipping the juice and Phill just popped up in my mind. I was so curious to know who was this guy. Adel seemed to know him because she mentioned something like, he was from a rich family or something.
"Anyway, I'm not interested in him."... I told myself.
Adel came jumping from her room toward where I was sitting. She sounded delighted and by the look on her face, I could tell that she was up to something. She sat next to me and held my shoulder while grinning.
"So, tell me more about him. After all, he is a popular guy, I have been seeing this man on Instagram and in magazines." Adel wanted to know how we met and how a famous guy fell for a girl like.
"Are you f**cking me? I mean, I told you we have nothing to do with each other."... I swelled.
"Wait, what? I know you are lying to me. I know you are shy but just tell your cousin everything." she tried everything to squeeze out words from me, but there was nothing to say about him.
I never wanted to disclose to Adel that I didn't know Phill because she might just ask many questions and I might end up telling her that I went out the first day.
"Just understand that there is nothing and stop asking many questions." I gulped.
"You told me earlier that you will tell me everything when we get inside. Just tell me already."... I faced her, curious to know more about Phill.
She removed her hand from my shoulder and she took out her phone from her jacket and she scrolled for a minute. "wait, I will show you something."
she was busy biting her lower lips. "Yes!! got it." she handed out her phone to me. on the screen was a picture of Phill.
"That guy is handsome, just look at him. Every girl here is dying to date him. He was dating Veronica but as we speak right now, they broke up about two months now." He is always with beautiful and rich girls, classy people.
She continued ... " I wonder why he chose you over everyone."
"What do you mean over everyone?"... I asked.
"I mean, Phill is a famous person, he would choose any girl he wants because he has money. There are many beautiful girls here, people of his standard. I'm just wondering why he decided to date you. who knows how many times he cheated on you?"
Adel moved out of the couch and stand leaning towards the wall. She looked at me again and she broke it off.
"You don't know a thing, you just moved here and you." she exhales like someone tired of some. "I'm just worried about you Mia."
I told you guys that Adel was another seed, but you never wanted to believe any word I said. She was just 17 and she was telling me such things even though she was right. The first day I met Phill, I could tell that he was not just an ordinary person. He looked rich and the way he dressed and the car he was driving yesterday said a lot about him. Of course, he was handsome and I told myself already that he would never fall for me, I was not his type.
"That's cool"... I mumbled.
"Cool? how is that cool, after all those things I said and all you have to say is cool?" she looked funny when she asked all those questions.
I stood up from the couch and stand next to her. "I know you care about me maybe.." before I could finish talking she entrapped me, "not may, I care about you." Then she looked away.
"Okay, I know you care about me, but I'm serious when I told you that we are not dating. We are just friends, I promise."
"Really?" she asked with and the news brought back a smile on her face.
"Yes, now stop worrying. You don't need to worry about me. I will be fine my love." we both laughed.
"Alright then. I can't wait for tomorrow and help you dress up well when you guys are going for lunch."... She smiled.
"Keep dreaming my lovely cousin, but I'm not going."
"Come on, you are going to have fun. I'm sure he will take you to a luxurious restaurant because he got money."... She faced me.
"Whatever"
I added... " it's getting late, help me prepare dinner. Uncle Teo will be back soon."
"Please, just tell me that you are going." ... She begged me.
"Alright, come and help me now."... I finally agreed.
Adel was excited that I agreed. I was wondering why she was so excited about it. We cooked dinner and waited for my uncle to come back from work while watching a movie on Tv. The movie was interesting. When uncle Teo arrived from work, we ate together. After eating, we watched another movie until I was sleepy.
I went up to my room to sleep. When I got into the room, I put on my sleeping robe and lay down on my bed. I couldn't believe my self that now I was struggling to sleep. I check my phone and there was a missed call from Valentine. My heart skipped a beat. Finally, he called. I called him back.
"Hlw babe." ... I said, just when Valentine picked up the call.
"Hi, so you no longer want me?"...He answered
"What do you mean, don't you miss me?"... I asked him.
"I don't like the way you are behaving this day "... He said.
"You were the one upset because I didn't come to you as if I didn't tell you what happened,"
"Whatever"... He said.
"I miss you, love. I miss us. I don't like it when we are upset with each other."... I told him.
"Really?"... He asked.
"Of course."
I felt bad. I didn't like that I missed him so much. He was my first love and everything was beautiful with us.
"I hate it that I missed you so much babe."... He sobbed.
He added... "I love you, Mia."
"I love you too."
I was happy again that we were singing the same song. We talked about many things and he told me how much he loved me and he never wanted to lose me. After talking to him, I felt much better. I turned the other side of the bed to sleep and I heard my phone buzzing. Oh God, it was Phill calling. I knew if I picked up the call, he would just ruin my beautiful day. I ignored the phone and slept.
