The next day i wake up and stretch my body, my eyes still closed, the bed is so warm and the mattress is so soft that i don't want to get up, but the knock on my door makes me open my eyes.
I get up and walk over to the door to open it.
In front of me stands Alice, and i immediately smile.
"Good morning!!" She exclaims with a big smile on her own face.
"Good morning Alice." I make space to she can come in.
"I wanted to check if everything is okay with you," she came inside the room "or if you need something?" She asked as she turned around to face me.
I shook my head smiling "everything is fine, you've already given me so much."
"Ah darling, don't talk like that!" She approached me and took my hands in hers.
"If you ever need something, do not hesitate to tell me or the boys." She said with an assuring tone
The boys? I narrowed my eyes confused but didn't put much mind to it and simply nodded again.
"I noticed you didn't bring a lot.." she looked over at my unpacked luggage.
I sighed with a smile as i looked at it as well "i only took what i would need."
Alice looked at me and nodded "i want to take you out for shopping" she said out of nowhere
"Oh.." i got excited for a second, but then remembered my circumstances "i.." i smiled at her politely trying to come up with a reason as to why i can't go.
"I don't have a daughter, so i want to see how it is to have one, please don't reject my offer." She smiled sweetly, as if she understood my intentions.
But then again, she probably knew what situation my family is in since im living in her house now.
I nod "alright, we can do that."
She chuckled happily as i agreed.
The day went pretty good, we went to the mall, Alice brought me to all brand stores there were, i felt really uncomfortable as she would pick whatever she liked for me and didn't even look at the price tag, i tried telling her i don't need anything but she didn't listen and bought a lot of stuff.
A few hours later we went to eat and had a chat, we kept laughing and talking, her aura is so positive and welcoming, i really admire her.
Even though i only met her a few times when i was a little kid, i felt like I've known her for a way longer time.
"Ahh, look at the time!" She glanced at her wrist "i need to get going" she looked back at me.
"Ah sorry i kept you for so long.."
"Nonsense" she moved her hand at me, "i was the one to ask you on this outing" she smiled "i hope we can do this again soon."
I nodded my head "i had a lot of fun today, thank you."
She chuckled "i should be thanking you, you have no idea how tiring it was to be only with boys at home"
I responded with a chuckle at her remark.
She paid the bill and took me home,
"Do you need help with the bags?" She asked coming out of the car as well.
"I'll be fine, i don't want to keep you any longer." I smiled as i took all the bags that had thousands of dollars worth in them.
"Alright then, i will visit again soon!" She hugged me and went inside her car.
"If you're having trouble, or if Kian is bothering you, call me immediately!" She waved her hand.
i smiled "Will do. Goodnight mrs. Brightwood." I watched her with a smile on my face as she drove away.
I sigh, looking at those bags, my life has changed like this suddenly...but im not complaining about it...
I went back in, the lights were on, but nobody seemed to be home.
I sigh, feeling a bit lonely after having all this fun.
"You're home." Kian comes out of the kitchen with a glass of juice in his hand.
I smile at him "yeah" i respond.
He looks at the bags in my hands then back at me "did you have fun?"
I nod my head, feeling a bit uncomfortable that he saw the bags, what if he thinks im using his family for their money.
"Thats good." He nodded and walked away "i will be in my room then, goodnight" he said as he went up the stairs. He seemed a bit colder than before.
I went up to my room and put the bags near my bed, i finally unpacked my luggage and put my stuff in the closet room. I left the designer clothes i got today untouched, it didn't feel right to put them beside my cheap stuff.
Taking my pyjamas with me i went to the bathroom on the second floor that was near my room.
I took my clothes off and went under the shower, the hot water made my body relax, i sigh in contentment, it felt nice.
~~
Another day went by, and then another, it's already Sunday now, tomorrow is the big day.
My first day in the new college, im excited but also nervous, I've been nervous the whole day, those past days Alice didn't visit, she did call occasionally to check on me though.
And Kian was very polite and kind, we didn't spend a lot of time together but we talked for a bit every day.
I was trying to get on his good side so i prepared some snacks for him.
After knocking on his door he almost immediately opens it.
"Wow" he looked at the tray im holding.
I put my hands that were holding the tray in front of him, "for you" i smiled and he looked back at me with a smile.
"That's sweet." He took the tray in his hands, "tomorrow is your first day huh?" He said as he started eating.
He gestured me to come in the room with hand and we sat on the small couch he had.
I nod "it is, im kinda nervous." Talking about it now gave me a reality check and i started feeling more nervous.
He looked at me "Why? You shouldn't be."
I shrug "i..don't know..i guess its because im not familiar with it."
He nods as he continues to eat "that's fine, i can show you around."
My smile grew bigger, feeling more at ease now "thank you."
We talked a bit more about tomorrow and it was getting pretty late so i decided to go to sleep.
"See you tomorrow, goodnight."
"Night." I waved at him as i left.
He seemed a bit more warm now, i was glad i could break the ice between us.
With a sigh i plop myself on the bed and close my eyes, it didn't take that long to fall asleep.
But unfortunately for me, im a light-sleeper...
