Can i buy you a book?

Chapter 12 - Girls day out

“Waffeellssss!!!!” I screeched and and hugged Rose.

“Can I love you anymore?” I smiled like a goof and took out Hershey syrup to eat with.

“You seem lovely. So me and Daph was thinking about  a girls day out, umm you up for it?” Rose asked.

I looked at Daph, she really looked like she needed shopping to calm her brain down and well I needed food plus we haven’t had a girl’s day out for agggeeesss. Besides it was time to meet Ashley the hot shot. It has been long since I got to tease her with her boy toy. So I smiled and Daph ran towards me and gave me a bone crushing hug. I laughed more.

We all sat down and ate our delicious amazing breakfast made by our one the only mommy figure, Rose. She looked beautiful. Even though she had 2 babies it looked like she is no more then what 19? I don’t know. She has this cute charm.

As we talked about everything and anything skipping Daph’s trip at Paris and my past, I realized I had great people and didn’t have to worry about my past or the certain someone with green eyes whose book was staring at me from my bed table.

“Aight beauties I need a shower.” I told hastily so I could go read a bit of the book since it didn’t look like I would get to throughout the whole day.

“But you just took a shower before breakfast.” Daph reminded me smirking.

“Yeah hun, what is the rush in reading the book. Did he put love letter in it?” Rose asked and started laughing. Both she and daph was crazy to think I would fall for him.

“Staaapphh! Please, why would he? I am no beauty queen.” I said huffing

“Keep saying that to yourself might as well someday make us believe you’re ugly.” Daph cooed.

“Alright, I am going to go read the book. Happy? Aint lying now. So stop being a jerk and treating me like I am in high school. When are we leaving by the way?” I asked

“Umm 2 hours. You have enough time to finish the book too. Dress nice.” Rose winked.

Urgghhh kids. They behave worse than kids. I walked to my room and flopped on my reading swing.

(Para from the book)

“Miranda talk to me please” Jonathan pleaded.

“Just go jon” Miranda told him with strict voice although her watery eyes said otherwise. After her parents’ divorce Miranda swore not to be like them so she was reserved all to herself. She has seen how her father drank and came back at night. She has seen her mother’s swollen eyes. She knew better to give Jon a chance.

“Miranda why? Why can’t you let me in? Am I that bad?” Jon asked hurt because of the rejection he gets from Miranda all the time.

“You don’t get it Jon. I can’t trust you or anyone for the matter of fact. I don’t let people in because they hurt and break you. I don’t like breaking down or crying. I don’t like eating tubs of ice-cream cause it makes my throat hurt later. I hate having swollen eyes and I definitely don’t want to end up like my father, drinking.” By Miranda’s soft sobs turned into full on crying.

Jon took a step closer and like reflex Miranda took a step back. Jon didn’t let that bother him and took another step closer and Miranda stepped back again but she realized she was trapped between Jon and the wall. I hate you wall Miranda scowled in her mind.

Jon put his arms between her head.

“My heart wants what it wants Miranda. I can’t help it and neither can you. How can you tell me you don’t love me when clearly you do? You can’t run away from the fact ever. You can’t just not trust anyone. You need to because this is life.  This is how it works. You break and then you pick the pieces again.”

With that Jon planted a kiss on her forehead and walked away. When he was close to the door he turned. “Date tomorrow, dress nice.”

With that he winked and left leaving a breathless, teary eyed and confused and more then furious Miranda. How can he just make her feel so many things together? Is this what love is? To have butterfly and become breathless? But she internally smiled at the thought of date. So she was going to let him in a little. It could be a little bit change. Maybe things might look bright. Look momma always says take risk to know what will happen.

I closed the book smiling like an idiot. Miranda let him in that is so cute I thought. Sometimes I wondered if I could have one of those love story how would it have been? I was thinking about amazing stuffs when Daph walked into the room and smirked.

“Thinking about lover boy I see.” She said snapping me out of my cute thoughts. I pouted and shrugged completely ignoring her.

“Ok queen bee stop shrugging and get dressed we are going to leave in less than 15 min.” She informed and left.

I frowned, I was too lazy to get dressed but I still dragged my lazy ass to be done with it. I was quick. I wore a cute dress. I couldn’t wait to start the day. Just when I thought I could have a great day a huge squeal on the other side of the room made me regret to jinx my luck because the squeal was from a certain someone I didn’t really like. Guess who? Of course, Ashley Rain.
