Diary of a Missing Piece

Scene 23 - Comfort zone

-------------------------------------

-------------------------------------

"I'm sorry, Reid. It was all my fault." I cried.

"About the pictures? Don't blame yourself. I pretty understand it;everything's gonna be fine. Calm down, Kelly."

(Sitting on the couch while sharing the recent argument between me and Tracy)

"Let me wipe your tears now... I know how you feel and you should remember that I'm always here for you. You'll never be alone, okay?" she gently tapped me on my shoulder and put her left arm over it.

"Thank you so much, Reid. I wouldn't be better without you. I'm really sorry that I brought you into trouble." 

"Hmm, forget about that. By the way, do you want something to eat?"

"No, don't trouble yourself; I'm not starving though." I gently held her hand. "Reid, thank you for trusting me even if we just met for only a couple of days ago. You really have a pure heart and I admire you for that."

She smiled. "Aww... You're the first person who said that. Thanks." :')  "It's already dark outside, it'll be better if you'll stay here for the night, won't you?"

"Uhhhmmm... if it's okay with your mom then I'll stay. Besides, I don't really wanna be alone tonight."

"By the way, if you'd be alone then where are your parents?"

"They're staying in our house at Staten Island, NYC. I had originally grown up there but since I'm 18 now, I have to live on my own. You wanna see their picture? Wait, I'll show you one."  But as I was pulling out my phone, somebody came in.

"Mom!" Reid stood up and kissed her mother hello.

"Oh, you have a visitor. Hi, I'm Reid's mother. You can call me Aunt Zandra if you want to." Zandra? It sounds familiar. I think I heard that name before. 

"Oh sure! It's nice to meet you, Aunt Zandra. :)"

Reid asked her mom to take a seat with us. "Mom, she's Kelly, my friend from SJVA. She'll be staying here for a night, I think  there would be no problem with that, right?"

"Of course, sweety! Your friends are always welcome here. But wait, I think I should cook for a special dinner. Excuse me ladies!" :)

I had a great time with Reid and I think her mom was really nice. They're both lovely. How I wish I could live with them!  We were having our dinner and honestly I'd never experienced such a comfortable sense like this.  I mean, this moment is so much different from my real life, I never had a dinner with my parents. They're always busy about something and I don't feel any passion between them. They always fight, discussing every pieces of scars from their past. That was one of the reasons why I decided to live on my own. I don't know but I'd rather choose to live here than to be with my parents whom I think I couldn't consider as a family. Tss.  -____-"

Tracy's P.O.V

"Then what should you do now?" asked Lindsey.

"I don't know. Maybe she was right, I was always busy that I couldn't spend even a li'l time with her. I have to fix everything 'bout us." 

"What? Fix everything?! WTH! Tracy, don't be so stupid! She cheated first, why would you stay in that silly kind of relationship?? Believe me, it wouldn't work." 

"And what do you expect me to do? Let her go? I love Kelly, I love my girlfriend!"

"No, you don't! Can't you see it? You love your career more than her; you love being a ramp model, a cover of those magazines! You can never choose Kelly over your fame, right?! Tell me that  I'm right!"

"Shut up! You shut up!  Nobody tries to prompt me that way! I'll do what I want no matter how right you are and how wrong I am! I don't wanna lose anything; I don't wanna lose anybody! Mine is mine!"

Back to Reid's P.O.V     (l>  Youtube video)

After preparing to sleep, I brought Kelly to our guest room. 

"I know you're tired so I'm gonna go and leave you here, you must have a rest. Sleep well, okay?"

"Wait..."

"Hmm? You need something?" I asked.

She just smiled and said, "I need someone."

"You need someone?"

"I need you."

"You need me?" What's going on with her? And why does my heart beats like this?  

She laughed. "You're blushing, aren't you? HAHA! Yes, it's you that I need."

"Me? Why me?"  Uh oh?  O.O

"I've told you before that I don't wanna be alone tonight so why would you let me sleep here alone? You should stay here.  Oh please... Won't you stay with me here...?"

"B..but... this bed is so strait and narrow, I don't think we could fit in here."

"Ugghhh... it's alright. I'm not frisky when I sleep. Promise!"  ;-)

"You sure?" I looked around and over the window pane.

"HAHA! You don't have to worry Reid, there must be no camera here. No more stolen pictures." We both laughed. :-D

"HAHA! Alright, alright. We better sleep now." I lied on the right side of the bed and tapped the other side, asking her to lie down too.

She lied down facing to me. "Good night, Reid."  :-)

:-) "Good night. Close your eyes, relax, and sleep." 

She did close her eyes and it's beautiful to watch her sleeping.  --__--

I don't know but I think there goes my heart again, beating like it's not the usual beat of a human heart, I guess. It's unreasonable. :") I feel like a hoity-toity girl again. This feeling tickles me inside and it makes those funny butterflies go crazy in my tummy. Hihi. :"> 

I was smiling when she suddenly opened her eyes and oh! I think she caught me smiling at her!  

>___<

She smiled. "Hmm? I thought you were sleeping already. What is on that smile, huh?" :">

Oh! Terrible! What should I say?! "Uhh?? Ahmm... nothing. Just...just... never mind." Ghhhaaadd! I turned my back and embraced my pillow covering my face so she won't see me blushing. Grrr,, Shame on me. :"-s

"Reid, are you feelin' cold?"  

Ohmigosshh! My cheeks doubled the blush when she started to embrace me and removed the pillow to uncover my face.  

"You might be unable to breathe so I had to remove this pillow.  Just let me embrace you, dear."
