Pure Love

Chapter 13

Bryant Hamilton

I thought avoiding my mom would help but I was wrong. After settling down for breakfast my mom stared at me and I looked away to avoid talking about that infront of everyone. But mom being mom she grabbed everyone's attention by clearing her throat.

I intentionally didn't pay any attention and started serving breakfast myself.

"Hun, who were you looking at and smiling before?" she asked sweetly with a bright smile.

BOOM!!!

Great!!! Now everyone is staring at me waiting for my answer.

I facepalmed mentally for not paying any attention to my surroundings when I was staring at her picture.

"Mom, it was nothing" I said and started having my breakfast.

"Really? But I have never seen you smile like that before, so stop acting and start speaking" my mom started nagging. GOD!! Why? What should I answer now, that I was seeing a girl and smiling like an idiot?

Think of some excuse Bryant fast. Come on, put your genius brain to use now, I thought to myself.

"What are you talking about?" dad asked, looking at mom. Wow, now they won't leave me till they get the answer.

"Ask your son, he was looking at a girl's picture and smiling" mom said and I widened my eyes in realization that she actually saw her.

"Bryant? What is your mom talking about? Whom were you staring at and smiling?" dad asked.

"I think he loves her because I have never seen him staring at any girl or talking about them or smiling at them. This was the first time I saw him like that and the point is he didn't even notice that I was there for a good two minutes" my mom blasted another bomb.

Damn!! How much time was I staring at her picture that when mom was there I didn't even notice?

I licked my dry lips as I was thinking of an excuse to cut the topic. I myself don't know why I was staring at her picture, what will I answer them?

"Don't push him too hard. Leave it. When he feels like telling, he will share with us" dad said. I sighed in relief.

"Brother, you know you can tell me about her I won't tell anyone" my brother teased me. I glared at him. "Shut up!!" I grumbled.

After breakfast I quickly went to my room and locked the door to avoid further embarrassment.

I sat on my study table and opened my laptop to do some hospital related work.

What is she doing now? Did she have her breakfast? Maybe she is spending her time with her family?

'Or with her boyfriend?' My inner self mocked me.

"NO!!" I shouted subconsciously.

No, No, No this can't be happening, I thought.

'Why Bryant, you don't even like girls then why are you so affected by the thought she might have a boyfriend?' my inner self asked me.

That's right!! I don't like girls but why am I affected by this thought? I don't know what was happening to me.

Did I sound jealous just now?
