I'm finally back at home, feeling too exhausted. Well, this has been a long day. I'm finally done with this episode. I sighed.
"Here are your groceries, mum. You really helped a lot". I was totally being sarcastic. 'What does she mean?' is probably what mum would be thinking now. I could tell from the confused facial expression she showed.
"Anyways, I'll be in my room now. Noone come to look for me for the next.... forever ".
"Don't worry, Mrs Frost, I'll go to her". Allie assured.
I laid down on my bed, eyes facing the ceiling, while my mind remained puzzled. What just happened today? Did I really choose to survive? I finally got what I wanted, but yet I...And that guy, who was he? Damn, I didn't ever get to thank him. He saved me three times but still I....I....Dammit! I'm thinking too much again.
Allie suddenly barged into the room. THAT stubborn Allie! She does what she wants. "Do you have cotton for brains? There's something people call 'knocking'you know ".
"You really expected me to knock? Get real". She said, with a blatant smirk on her face and then bounced on my bed. "Who is he? He's making you think a lot, what a guy!".
Damn this bitch Allie! Judging by the squinted look she's giving me, and the way she laid on my bed like she's ready to listen to a juicy story tells me she already knows I'm thinking about a guy. She's too smart, even for me.
"Ugh! Fine, it is a guy". I blurted. "Ooh! telle more" . She sounded way too interested.
"So I met on my way getting groceries from the market. I don't know him at all, but each time we met, he always saved me. First one was by the lake. Second, he helped me pay for the groceries since mum was so kind enough to lend me money, totally being sarcastic there. And finally, he saved me from drowning. So that's a total of three times. But then again, it's kinda funny. We met three times but I still didn't get his name.... actually neither did he get mine. Though he was so cute, and that's weird coming from me because --" Yeah, I stopped midway. Allie kept giving me 'The Look'. I could see her eager gaze gently falling to the ground, and her smile quickly turned upside down.
"Addie, all hope is lost for you". She rolled her eyes and sighed in disappointment. Ouch! But true. I guess I should've asked for his name. u hope I get to see him again. "Anyways, while you were busy playing love story with Mr what's-his-name, I got a call from him. Finally he's back in LA, and coming to see us,....Well, especially me".
Seeing how she squeaked so loudly it's making my ears bleed, I'm guessing 'he'is probably her childhood bestie who she never told me about. Apparently, she's really in love with him. Gross! Anyways I'm sure he's gonna be a wonderful person for Allie.
"Are you ever going to, at least, tell me his name?"
"Shush! You'll meet him when he comes over". Allie said to me, and OMG her cheeks are all red. "Oh my gosh! I need to go dress up. I need to look pretty enough".
Doesn't she already look pretty enough? Good grief! We suddenly heard the screaming voice of my mum from downstairs.
"Addie, did you order something?! Someone's at the door! Come get it!".
Oh right! I had placed an order under Allie's name. Yeah, she's gonna be paying for a lot of things. That's so devious of me. I immediately rushed down, heading for the door As soon as I opened the door, I slipped on a banana peel. Yeah, a banana peel. Seriously?? What's a banana peel doing in front of my freaking door!.
"Excuse me, are you alright?". I suddenly heard a familiar voice. I slowly raised my gaze and saw....him. I shrieked.
"YOU?!!".
Mum and Allie came running out as they heard my voice. "What was that loud thud?". Mum asked.
"Thud? More like Addie's voice. She sounds like a croaker ". Allie teased. "Addie, you almost gave us a heart atta--". She stopped as soon as she saw the guy.
"PRINCE!!". She shouted. Prince? Is that his name? More importantly, do they know each other? Oh no, don't tell me...
"Yeah I know what you're probably thinking and you're spot on. This is Prince Reyes, my childhood bestie ". Allie cleared the air.
Wait a minute, are we just gonna ignore the fact that the guy I constantly met and thought about.... was actually Allie's childhood lover?! ARE. YOU. KIDDING. ME!!.
"I came to the house address you emailed to me. I saw a delivery guy here so I just decided to sign it instead, hope that's not a problem. Here's what you ordered". He explained, handing over MY package to Allie.
I stared blatantly at him, thinking a lot of things, and I found him staring back at me. Stare much? The next second I blinked, he had already leaned closer, close enough I could feel his breath on my face, it felt like he was gonna kiss me. What a dangerous move.
BADUUMP! BADUUMP! BADUUMP!
I could feel my heart beating so heavily and fast. Why did he make me feel this way? I was really fighting the intense urge to kiss him. I mean come on, Allie would make me tonight's dinner if I were to do that. So I just stared back at him, wondering what he was trying to do.
"Your name?...." . He finally asked me, leaving Allie in a 'whats going on ' state.
