Love at first text

Chapter 21

Saundro's POV

Mia was so happy after my good news. Well good news for her. The whole time we went out yesterday, she couldn't stop her bubbly excitement. It's Wednesday now and I just came home from detention. Mia said she wants to spend some time with her sister. I can't help but to feel a bit disappointed.

I'm not disappointed in Mia, but myself. I miss her terribly right now. I miss her smell, her warmth as she holds my hand. The way her cheeks turn red when I make her blush. The way she looks down when she's shy or embarrassed. The way our lips move in synchronization when we kiss.

I cannot keep trying to convince myself that I don't love her because I have fallen hopelessly in love with her; with my Mia.

I sighed and sat down on my bed.

After a while, Drea came to my door and told me she's going to the hospital to visit mom.

Hanging out with Mia really took my mind off of my home problems. Its so ironic since I'm hanging out with her to fix my home problems.

Ever since our argument at the hospital, Drea and I went back downhill. Its worst than before. We used to talk, now she doesn't even enter the same room I'm in, unless its mom's hospital room.

I got up and walked downstairs and outside.

"Go ahead. I'll be there soon." I told her.

"Its not like I was waiting on you anyways." Drea said under her breath, but I still heard.

She kept on walking.

"Why not take my car and I'll walk? Or take a taxi?" I shout after her.

She acted like she didn't hear me. Actually, I saw her put in her earphone when I asked. She kept walking.

I shook my head and went back inside.

'She'll get a taxi when the house is out of sight.' I thought to myself.

I walked through the house and went to the back where mom had made a small garden. I sat on the grass, beside the birdbath, in the middle of it. I was surrounded by Sunflowers, roses and lilies and by birds in our neighbors' trees. Their chirping reminded me of the clearing in the woods I had brought Mia to. Automatically, scenes from Monday started to flash in my mind.

I smiled.

Then my phone rang, indicating that I had receive a message.

Brian the devil
We need to talk. 

Mammas boy
Text or in person?

Brian the devil
In person. I'll tell you when and where.

Mammas boy
OK.

I place the phone in my pocket and closed my eyes, remembering what happened Monday.
