My First Ever Love

Ch-23, Returning Home

I was packing my stuff in haste; last night I was so lost in thought that I forgot that today I was going home. Aiden had already packed and was chilling out with Blake and Jake leaving me to pack by myself.

I am so happy to be going back home to my parents. I was not able to call any of my parent because there's no internet connection here. I want to know if dad have solved his problem and started his job again. He was so stressed when he thought he would be kicked out of his job; he couldn't sleep for days. I just hope everything is back to normal at hom-

"Kia, are you done packing?" Aiden asks breaking my thoughts.

"Uh...yes, it's almost done." I inform him and he nods his head and sit down on the mattress while I walk here and there making sure that I have all of my belongings.

When I finished packing my stuff, Aiden stood up and held my luggage, rolling it out of the tent and I followed him. All of my friends had already packed and were waiting for me so I quickly walked over to them. "Morning" I greet them and they greet me back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our bus ride was so fun, I laughed a lot especially when Carrie spilt water on Brittney by mistake. The look on Brittney's face was unforgettable.

Now I was in our school ground standing with Carrie and Julie while the boys brought our luggage from the bus.

We were tired after the trip. All I want to do was to go home and have a nice nap. "Hey can we leave?" I asked and Aiden nodded but didn't move. They were busy talking. Is this how you leave Aiden? I thought

I went near Aiden, "Hey! Let's go, I'm tired" I whined like a baby, pouting. Aiden chuckled and ruffled my hair making me glare at him for ruining my hair while he laughed at my expression.

Carrie and Julie went with Blake and Jake for coffee leaving me with Aiden. "Let's go! let's go! Let's go!" I chanted like a child until he sighed and started moving. Ha-finally!

He settled our luggage on the back seat while I sat in the passenger seat waiting for him to get in and drive. I want to go home quickly and engulf them in a tight hug.

"Stop grinning like that Kia, its creepy" Aiden stated looking at me as if I have lost it.

"Oh, You shut up and drive me home quick." I told him barely able to contain my happiness. As soon as I said that, Aiden slowed down and started driving in a very slow speed. Ugh!

"Aiden what the heck?" I asked getting frustrated.

"Driving, what else?" He said as a smirk grew on his face.

"I know that, but why are you driving so slow?" I asked and he simply shrugged.

"My car, my wish."

"My car, my wish" I mocked him and huffed in a childish way crossing my arms.

"I do not sound like that kia. That was so girly" he made a face.

"That's because I am a girl" I stated and he nodded his head.

"Noted. Kia is a girl" saying that he started laughing while I scoffed at him. After bickering the whole ride; I reached home, and away from Aiden. Finally!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Momma!" I ran to her and engulfed her in a tight hug as soon as the door opened. I was so happy to be back. I never thought one week would be so long but damn it was.

"Sweety...Can't breathe" momma said and I detached myself from her saying a sheepish sorry.

"How are you sweety?" Momma asked me and I told her that I'm fine. She told me to go freshen up and then tell her how my trip was so, I ran to my room and quickly showered myself.

I freshened up and went down to mom. She was sitting on the couch  talking to someone, maybe dad. I  ran to her in hopes of talking to him but unfortunately it wasn't dad. I waited for her to finish talking so that I could tell her all about my trip. She ended the phone after few minutes and I started telling her everything from the first day leaving the part of me being dumped into the forest. Mommy was pretty happy to know that I enjoyed myself there.

"Mommy...was dad able to prove his loyalty to the boss?" I asked after a while. She nodded her head smiling,

"Yes dear, but dad did not like the way fingers were pointed on him after being so loyal in his office so he resigned his job and now he is working for an even bigger company." Mommy told me and I was so happy to know that. My dad detested being framed for something he was not responsible for and I really appreciated it.

"That's so good to hear. I can't wait to congratulate him for his hard work." I stated grinning wide. Mommy smiled and hugged me. Then suddenly an idea struck me,
"Mommy, have you made dinner already?"

"Um...no. Why?"

"Okay then...I'm gonna make dinner today" I informed mom with determination. Oh god help me now. I've never cooked before. I prayed silently.

"Are you sure sweety? You know that you don't know how to cook right?" Mommy asked hesitantly.

I nodded, "but I'll try. I'm a teen and I don't know cooking yet, so I'm gonna do it now." She nodded and led me to the kitchen.

"So...what are you planning to cook?" Mom asked and I thought for a moment. What should I cook? Breakfast was much easy than dinner but I already told mom. I'm not gonna back out now.

"Um...what about steak and rice? I ask mom and she nods telling me that she had those items in the refrigerator. She went to take the steak from the refrigerator while I boiled water to prepare rice.

"Mommy, I'll do the rest, just instruct me what to do" I told her in a stern voice but she giggled. I mock glared at her and she raised her hand in surrender trying hard not to laugh.

"Mommy" I whined and stomped my foot childishly.

"Okay okay, now start cooking before Michael comes home" she said and I began cooking steak while the rice is boiled.

All the cooking was done and only serving was left by the time the doorbell rung. I ran to open the door in the hopes of seeing dad.

I hugged him tight the moment I opened the door. Dad was stunned but then he also hugged me back.

"My Kia is back" he said hugging me.

"I missed you kid" dad said placing a kiss on my forehead.

"Me too"

"Okay enough of hugging. Michael go freshen up and Kia come here" mommy said from inside.

"Your mommy's jealous" dad said and I chuckled, "probably" saying this we laughed our way inside our home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I set our food on the dining table after dad freshened up and sat down while mom sat beside me and dad across me. I waited for mom and dad to eat to know the result. Dad took his first bite and I asked,

"How is it?" He looked at me and nodded his head showing thumbs up and I squealed.

"Kia made this" mom informed dad as he looked clueless as to why I was squealing.

"I knew my kiddo could cook well" dad said patting my head while I smiled.

I congratulated him for his success and he smiled at me and then he asked me about the trip. I told him everything except the part where I got missing obviously.

I felt happy being with my parents. We laughed and joked around. It had been so long since I laughed with my family. Every problem was sorted and everyone was happy making it worth the trouble we all went through. I hope we stay the same in the days to come.
