Lost in Your Love

CHAPTER SEVEN

"hello Mother"

I sighed. I haven't talked to my mum in 3 months after our argument about coming to South Africa. She threw a fit when I told her I wanted to see everything there.

"How are you my boy"

"I'm great mum.. How is dad?"

"he is fine. When are you coming home?" I can hear the annoyance in her voice.

I sigh deeply and pinch the bridge of my nose. I told her I want to stay until the new school year started.

"Mum" I started "you know I'm staying here till next year. What is the reason for this call?" I asked a little mad

She sighs deeply. "Maddy misses you."

Maddy. Madison. My best friend since kindergarten. The girl next door, the one who fell in love. After middle school she confessed and I rejected her. After that... It became worse, she would always come to my house and hang out. She never left my side in high school and it annoyed me.

"mum just tell her to leave me be. I just want to enjoy my vacation with my friends" I told her and hung up.

As it became silent, I went to the kitchen. The smell of peanut butter cookies filled my nose as I entered the kitchen. The first thing that I saw, was flaming orange hair in a messy bun and her standing with a green apron on. She was busy mixing the batter. I smirked and silently creeped behind her.

"You know I can sence your presence right?"

I cursed under my breath and walked up behind her until her back was lined up with my front. Her breath hitched when I put my mouth by her ear.

"how would you know it was me?"

Her breaths became uneven and whispered back
"Your smell"

By that time she was rolling them into balls and placing them on the bake plate. I reached out and grabbed a big bunch of the cookie batter and ate it. She let out an irritated sigh and turned around to say something but I cut her off by forcing the rest of the dough into her mouth.

She glared at me while chewing the dough and I tried so, hard not to laugh at her. I could she her hair getting more orange and her face really red. She lifts her hand up to smack me but I grab it and held it tight against the upper cupboard.

The kitchen fell silent as we both just stared at, each other. I don't know what is going on but I really want to kiss her now. I leaned forward and rested my forehead on hers and inched my lips toward hers. She lightly pushed me away and whispered

"You said we should stay away from each other... So let's keep our ends of the deal."

She walked away from me and went on with the cookies. I realized then and there... Maybe I don't want to stay away...  I walked out of the kitchen and laid on my bed. Thinking of her

Hope you enjoyed the chapter
