Meant to be

Chapter 10

MARY'S POV
The day of the dreaded session.

I was finally going to confront Sean. I was a little scared to do so, but I was excited and angry at the same time. I had a lot of emotions at the moment.

I heard the doorbell and this time I made him ring twice. I opened the door and didn't say a word, I just closed the door and sat at the table.
Not a word from either of us.

We started the lesson, today we were going to be working on chemistry which was great because I love it and he is shitty in chemistry which meant I could make him suffer.

Oh how I love this tutoring thing.

"How do you expect me to answer these?" Asked Thompson angrily.
"Well, I already explained it to you and we saw this just last week so you should be perfectly able to answer these. So chop chop, we have more work to do". I said folding my arms and lining into the chair.
I'm enjoying this wayyy to much

He tried and tried but couldn't get anything done. I didn't even think of offering my help. I was very angry but specially upset with him.

"Why the fuck aren't you going to help me?!" He asked hitting the table.
Oh it's on
"Why are you still treating me like absolute shit after everything I've done for you ! huh? I helped you with your sister, I spend my weekends and my free time tutoring you so you don't fucking fail anything anymore because I had compassion for you and you still treat me like shit. I didn't have to help you you know? I could've just said no and where would you be right now? I spend two whole weeks with your sister because you can't keep her at home. And. You. Still. Treat. Me. Like. Shit. Why?! Why can't you change? What did I do to you! I though we were finally starting to get along but-"

"You wanna know? You fucking told my sister that I was you bully that's what, and since then she hasn't spoken to me the same. She loves you now you know? and to think that I, her dear brother hurt her new best friend kills her. That's what you did. You took the only beautiful thing I had left".

I had tears in my eyes by the time he finished. He didn't move nor did he say anything else. He just stood there.
"Thompson I-I I'm so sorry I didn't know. Please forgive me. I know you don't have an easy life and the last thing I want to is to make it worse and take the only pretty thing you have. I'll make it up to you. I'll go talk to her right now". I said swallowing my tears and grabbing my car keys.

When I was going to open the door a big hand grabbed mine stopping me from opening the door and going anywhere. He flipped me and now my back was to the door. He came really close to me and whispered in my ear. "If you really want to do that I'll take you to my house. I'll drive".

He laced his fingers with mine and took me to his car. It was the most silent trip I've ever had in my life, he was frowning all the time and I was panicking thinking what was going to happen once we arrived to his house.

When we arrived, he opened the door for me and took my hand and didn't let go not even when we were inside his house and he was calling for Rosie to come and see me.

Once Rose was downstairs he let go of my hand so I could hug her.

"Oh Rosieee how I've missed you pretty".
"I've missed you too". She said hugging me with all her strength.
"Honey, I need to talk to you about something ok?"
"Ok". Said the little girl with a frown.

We sat down in the living room couch and she never let my hand go. Thompson just watched and never intervened, he just stayed there at the door with his arms crossed and he kept staring at me all the time.

"Rose I need to get something clear. Even though in the past your brother and I did have our differences now we are great friends and
he...he is one of the greatest persons I have ever met. He loves you so so much and he has done nothing but protect me and made me laugh for the past two years. I want you to know that your brother is a great guy and he deserves your love and attention. When you stoped talking to him you hurt him, and so you have to promise me you'll apologize and you will not stop loving him and treating him like the pretty princess she is ok?" She laughed a little and replied with a soft "ok" before getting up and walking towards him.

She hugged him with all her strength and then said, "I'm sorry I hurt you Sean, I do love you very much, you're the best big brother ever, I love you. Sean looked at me and mouthed a "thank you".

We spent some more time with Rose before Thompson took me home. When we arrived back at my place he walked me up all the way to the porch.
"Listen Mary you really didn't have to say all those things about me just to make her forgive me. And I do want to apologize for the way I treated you the other day, and um, not just the other day but for the last eight years I-".
I stopped him mid-sentence.
"You don't have to apologize, I had already forgiven you the moment you explained yourself about how much Rose means to you".
I said almost as a whisper.

We were so close I swear the only thing separating us was an inch. An inch that could've been closed by our lips.

"And thank you for helping me with everything I really do appreciate that. I swear you are going to heaven for putting up with my shit". He said laughing and wow did he looked cute laughing
Wait what had I just said?
"Well my mom does always says that people arrive into your life when you must need them and she also says that it's not just a coincidence that they chose me to help you with your tutoring. It was meant to be this way so that I could help you with Rose".
"I guess so". He said very gently.

His hands were around my waist in a blink of an eye and he was looking at my lips. He started to lean in when all of a sudden we heard the hunk of a car that scared the shot out of us.
"Um I should probably get going, I have to make dinner for Rosie". He said removing his hands form my waist and taking a step back.

"Um yeah my-uh my family is having dinner at my grandparents' tonight so I should probably get ready for that". I was fumbling with my keys.
"Yeah you don't want to be late. I'll see you around Mary". He said backing yo form the porch.
"Bye Thompson". I said entering the house and closing the door once his car had disappeared.

Oh god what a day.

I was walking up the stairs when it suddenly hit me.

Fuck. I think I'm catching feelings for Sean Thompson.
