Peanut Letter Gift

Chapter-11

*LONG CHAPTER*

A week was over.

Ding dong!

The bell rings and I open it. Mom(Edward's mom) stood in the porch with a large handbag hanging from her shoulder. She still looks the same since I've been seeing her since childhood. No change. Her medium length black hair end with soft curls. Black eyes and plump lips. With dimples as smiles at me. I can say Edward got those form her.

She beams and then goes her sweet-sweet voice "Oh my darling baby sweetheart!" she opens her arms wide.

I do the same but she walks past me. I turn and watch where she goes. She even ignores Kiera and Edward on their way. Poor things were waiting for hugging their mother! It's finally Ray whom she grabs in her arms and constantly kisses.

I see the poor kid struggling with the kisses but his grandma won't stop.

When she turns back to us leaving the kid with all the lipstick marks over his face, we adults step back with our hands cupping our cheeks. She's confused first but then she realizes and waves a hand to ignore.

She pulls down her handbag and sits on the sofa pushing her hair, towards behind her shoulder.

"I'll get something to eat" I say and walk to the kitchen.

I hear someone's steps after mine. I turn and flinch when I see Kiera. She chuckles.

***

I pour the water in the glass while Kiera leans on the counter "Sasha"

"mm?" I don't look.

"Please don't feel bad as Edward yelled at you"

I suck my inner cheek and reply without looking "I'm not mad at anyone" I begin to take the tray out of the kitchen. Kiera grabs it from me and places it behind her on the counter and then looks at me "Doesn't look like it"

I grab the tray. Ignoring her, I walk out. I put forward the tray to mom and she smiles at me, grabs the glass then talks to Edward again. I see him rubbing his eyes constantly. Meanwhile, Kiera sits beside him.

"Don't rub them" I say.

Both mother and son look at me. It's awkward now. Why every time?!

"I mean-Uh-Edward don't rub your eyes!" I repeat "You've stopped wearing the lenses, go wear them"

He nods and leaves.

He's been having myopia since 3 years, and he began to wear lenses. But recently, he stopped wearing them saying that the power might have reduced a little. I don't think it's the case as I caught him squinting at the television and reading the information board in the mall.

Mom suspiciously examines me "I assumed his power was reduced?"

"I wasn't. Even he assumed it" I sit on the sofa.

"I get it..." she says slowly.

***

"Why not?" asks mom.

"I just don't wanna go anywhere I'm really tired" I reply.

"But I booked a special seat just for both of you" she complains "It'll all be wasted"

"Send Kiera and Asher then" I suggest "I'm honestly not in the mood of going anywhere"

"Nope this is only for Sasha and Edward"

"I don't understand why are you rejecting this?" says Kiera scrolling across her phone while lying on the bed. She has the pillow pressed against her stomach "If it were me, I would have asked for a more expensive restaurant"
