For Better or For Worse

Chapter 10---Before Enrollment

Mia's P.O.V.

So last night I learned two things from Jessica:

1.) Jessica broke up with her boyfriend because the guy confessed that he's gay. I'm like, who goes out with a girl and says he's gay? What a pussycat.

2.) Jessica saw the whole thing. Yeah. She saw me and Carson...yeah that. So she really planned it out. She knew about us because of Mrs. Gertrude. She told the maids to only let the lamps be on last night. She's a lunatic but she's my cousin and I love her.

I was half asleep this morning feeling happy. I let out a sigh OF CONTENTMENT. Who wouldn't be? I turned to the other side and let out another sigh. If this was a dream, I don't wanna wake up. I'm afraid that when I wake up, everything will be gone.

"Good morning, gorgeous." I heard someone say.

Oh...good morning, Ca--wait! CARSON?!

I snapped open my eyes and saw him. I shrieked and saw him flinch. I quickly covered my face with the comforter. Why was he here? Did I sleep in? This is embarrassing. He saw me sleeping! I can even hear him chuckle and I blushed. Thank God he won't see me.

"Carson...what are you doing here?" I asked still covered by the comforter and he chuckled.

"I came in early." he said then he sat down at the edge of my bed.

"What time is it?"

"8 O'clock."

"Who let you in this early?"

"Jessica."

"It's still early! Let me sleep a bit more!" I moaned.

"Oh no, you don't." and he started tugging on the comforter.

"At least wait in the living room until I am ready."

"Will you get up?"

"Yeeees." I moaned again.

"Okay, okay." but before he left, I felt his lips on my cheek leaving a kiss on the comforter but I felt it. And feeling it on my skin made me wake up. After that, he stood up and left my room.

I got up as soon as he left. Racing to the bathroom, I checked my phone. 2 missed calls from Ma-an, 4 from my mom and 2 from Carson. 12 messages and I didn't even bother to read them anymore. I quickly showered and went to my closet room and picked out an almost sleeveless red blouse, pencil skirt and black pumps. What? Too dressy for enrollment? Because you get your picture taken for your new I.D. I think it's silly because it's a new semester, not a new school year. Your face didn't change. When I was done with everything, even drying my hair and applying light makeup, I ran downstairs and smell something divine!

"Speaking of Mia. Here she comes now." Jessica giggled. They were in the living room laughing and I can see food on the coffee table.
