JUST ONE MORE DAY... (H.S)

2

I was too stunned to talk back. He's British, as I can tell from his thick accent.

"Look, you...." I was cut off with the girl gang coming out giggling loudly which isn't pleasant to hear anymore. And walking towards us.

"Hey!, sorry if we were rude to you inside, giggling. But if you don't mind can I have your number, we could spend a nice time" one of the girl talks to him, and winks in the end. She looks at me and her expressions turn from a smile to a scowl.

"Umm..you..her...", he's stuck with words and guilty is washed over his eyes when he realised I wasn't from that 'girl gang', and looks at the wallet I am holding, coming to his senses that it's his.

"Oh, no. Is she bothering you, I could manage it if she is?", she pulls up a pout saying that.

I felt like pulling her with hair and dump her into the bin next to me.

"No, she isn't. She's my friend, and we've been a bit rocky, we had few differences between us. That's all, nothing to worry about it love", he tells her, with a bit of American accent in his voice.

"Oh, okay. So can I have your number?", shamelessly she asks him, fluttering her eyes.

I scoff, and kick a rock on the floor. And just stare at her with a longing look. She must be 14 or 16. And looking at him, he might be in his 20s, maybe around 25. She ignores my actions and smiles at him.

"Sorry love, I can't. I am actually trying for this one. She's hard to get, but I know I will", he tells her, pointing at me and smiling with a fond look.

I could just disappear into thin air and throw the wallet into a bin. The girl, gives him a sad look, and looks down at her shoes. Kicking the air, and pouting.

"It's fine, but if you still want to catch up sometime later then this is my card, you can call me anytime and I'll be there. For anything", she whispers the last words coming near to him and handing him over the card, smirking. I could smell her perfume on the card. And rushing back to her friends.

He just looks at the card and the girl. After few seconds he throws the card in the bin and turn to me looking with the same guilt look.

"Look, I am really sorry... I didn't mean to come out rude, I thought...", he was still talking. But I grabbed his hand and placed the wallet. Turn around and see jennie is waiting for me near her car. And walk towards it.

I climb into the car and release a breath. And I look to the side the guy looking at me with his mouth open, and a look of disbelief. I looked at jennie, she was looking at him suppressing her giggle and starts the engine.

We came out of the parking lot, and drive back home.

"So.. What was it about?", jennie asks me.

I tell her everything, and by the end she's laughing out loud and I joined her. She was controlling her laugh. But again we laugh out loud. It goes on like that till we reach the house. Our laughter dies down when she stops before the house. And wipes her tears.

"You should have given him a chance to talk", jennie tell.

"No, he would prolong that and call me out love", I said.

"Love?, he's british?, you usually like british guys, their eyes, accent, height, and of course can't forget about their looks and adonis body, that's what you tell me everytime. Didn't he suit your memo?", she's asks me.

"Remembering it now, he actually fits the memo, but too much attitude", I state.

"Okay, don't worry, you'll find the guy of your memo, and then your gonna live with him here, hey!! Then you don't have to live alone in the house", she tells me with a bright smile.

"Whatever!, tell Ben I said Hi, and text me where do you wanna go for weekend, Bye", I mumble and get down the car.

"Bye!!", she shouts out.

I unlock the door and head straight to my room, I change into some shorts and a big t shirt, head into the bathroom and wash up my face. I pat my face with a towel and plop down on the bed. It's not like I spent the whole day out, but I feel tiredness seeping in me, and my eyes are closing up.
I pull up my blanket and snuggle up into the bed, making myself comfortable. I sigh, and fall asleep.

But all my mind would think is, how am I going to survive the next day and will I be ready to face things, but again I think it's better to let go maybe, right?, but all at once is JUST ONE MORE DAY, that's all.
