The Girl Of The Night

Sleepovers aren't for me...

"I either tell him and loose all my privacy what so ever or I don't tell him until he finds out... Pro's for telling him, he will visit often and I get to see him... Cons, I don't get privacy. Pro's for not telling him.. Privacy and Cons... when he finds out he will be blubbing mad" I tell Fi.

"Hmm" she takes a long time to think.

My legs dangle in the air.

"My minutes are running out" Cassandra moans from the other end of the line.

We are doing a 3 way phone call and I am debating wether to tell Brooklyn about me being his neighbour or not.

"I always have to sneak out the backdoor to avoid him" I tell Fi and Cassandra.

"I say tell him" Fi finally answers.

Good lord. I always respect we judgements because they always end up well. Cassandra is a what if, Fi is more of a do it and see.

"Hey aren't you starting school in 3 days? which school?"

"Oh gee thanks Cassandra for reminding me.. and not sure"

"What if you are gonn be in our school?"

"Wow" I reply while flipping through a magazine lying down on my tummy on the bed.

The doorbell rings, "Someone please get the door.. I'm helping chase find his toy" Mum yells.

"Guys I gotta go..."

"Bye" Fi says

"See ya" Cassnadra adds

I hang up. I circle an answer from the magazine and run down the stairs. I chew the bit of the pen that's in my mouth. I swing the door open... and oh dear lord.

"Vira?"

I remove the pen from my mouth.

"Oh um hey Brooklyn"

He stands there with his family.

-

"When were you gonna tell me?" He asks as I shut the bedroom door.. " Today? I don't know I guess I didn't know what to do"

"why is that?"

I really like you

"just confused is all"

He nods and sits on my bed. Mom and Dad are talking to his parent over a cup of tea .. Dad fan girled over David and Mom well she adored Victoria! The kids are watching TV together and Jaine? She's at work as usual.

His hands cover his face. "Do you wanna talk about what happened?" he mumbles

"Nope" I say and flop down next to him.

"Me too"

His head turns and he looks at me, grasping for at least a bit of information in my eyes. I stare back at him intently reading what it is that keeps putting him off.

He leans in close. I lean in to my hand wraps around his neck, His hand on my cheek.

I really badly wanted to attack him with kisses

"Hey" Jaine swings the door open.

We split from each other.

"Oh dear, I should yeah" she runs off.

-

"Mom no"

"Well they are coming okay?" My mom puts on her heels. "Hey Jaine told me about um the" "That rat" I grit my teeth, "Is there anything going on between you and?" "No ma no" I eat a piece of chip. I'm in my lovely night suit, detect the sarcasm in my thought?
