Akeelah's pov
I was shock about his sudden action. I couldn't move...my stomach was filled with butterflies.
"Come here let's put it on you." He smiled while putting the necklace around my neck.
"O-okay," I smiled awkwardly while feeling his breath on my neck.
"Let's go!" He pulled my hand and walked outside my apartment.
__FEW HOURS LATER__
We've been driving a long time now. I slept for a couple of minutes while Cyryll was driving the car. I'm still half asleep I couldn't think straight.
"You okay?" Cyryll asked, looking at the road.
"Yeah. I'm just sleepy."
"Then just go back to sleep." He looked at me for a second and patted my head.
"I don't want to." I sighed.
"Okay then just play music."
"okay,"
I took out my phone and connected it to the car. I played 'night changes' by one direction.
"Goin' out tonight, changes into something red
Her mother doesn't like that kind of dress
Everything she never had she's showin' off
Drivin' too fast, moon is breakin' through her hair
She's headin' for somethin' that she won't forget
Havin' no regrets is all that she really wants"
I sang along with the music. I suddenly felt happiness when Cyryll held my hands and sang along with the music. It was one of my happy memories with him. I'm genuinely happy just seeing him beside me.
I just stared at him for a while, amazed by his side profile. I'm lucky to have this view in front of me and I hope I would always see him like this.

"Hey? Wake up!" I left Cyryll tapping my shoulder to wake me up.
"Were here already." He pointed at the house outside.
"Uh? Oh I'm sorry." I fixed myself up and got my things.
As I was about to get out of the car I heard a load scream.
"AKEELAH!" I saw Akira running towards me.
"I missed you!" I was welcome by her tight hug.
"O-okay...t-this is a bit t-tight!" I shuttered, having a problem to breath.
"Oh! you bought Cy?" She finally let go when see saw Cyryll.
"Hi!" Cyryll replied politely. "Love? Where shall I put this?" He asked pulling out our bags from the trunk.
"Um... just put it inside the house." We entered the house and I saw Ella cooking in the kitchen.
"Dad went to work because he have to fix a little problem." Akira explained. "And also your room is already fixed upstairs."
"Yeah!" I replied and went upstairs in my old bedroom. Cyryll just followed me from behind.
"This is your room?" He asked, looking around the room.
"Yeah! I grew up here!"
"What's this?" My smile faded when he reached the dark blue box on the self. It was mom's gift on my 7th birthday. It was a her necklace she used on her Graduation and it has a letter from him.
"It's just a gift from my mom." I smiled bitterly.
"Oh! I'm sorry." He looked away being guilty of what he did.
