Bright as the moon

Chapter 7 Vespertine Siblings

I dreamed that my dad was with me, My father hugged me and told me to keep doing what I'm doing "Just keep doing what you are doing, Rome, and you will achieve your dream" *Door bell* I woke up to the sound of the doorbell so I got up from my bed and looked to see who was at the door "Hello goodmorning is Lily here?" "Yeah, I'll just wake her up" I was surprised that a man was looking for Lily so I woke her up immediately *Knock* "Lily wake up someone is looking for you" Lily came out of her room and asked who was looking for her "There is a man looking for you" Lily quickly went to the door "Who is this?" "Lily do you still remember me?" Lily was shocked and immediately closed the door "Who is he?" "I had a crush on him when I was in 8th grade" I let the man in first "What's your name bro?" "I'm Kenxio but you can call me Ken" "Lily told me that you know each other" "Ow yes she was my classmate" I tried to call Lily to her room but she suddenly ccame out to her room "Oh why does your face seem different?" I saw on Lily face that she put a make up "Hi Ken how are you? "Ow hello Lily long time no see" "Have you eaten?" "Not yet" I saw on Lily's face that she was excited talking to Ken "Wait Ken, I'm going to cook our breakfast and i want know why Lily is like this, I mean I want to know your connection with Lily

I cooked our breakfast and I could hear them talking "I heard that you transferred to another school so I asked Emilu where you live and I want to talk to you" "What do you want us to talk about?" "I remember that you liked me when were in 8th grade, so I'm here to ask you if I can date you?" I suddenly felt a strange pain in my chest "You can date me Ken but I don't have free time yet" My chest hurt even more when Lily said that so I immediately went to the lobby with the food "The food is ready, Lily, sit here next to me"   Lily ignored me and just stared at Ken "Lily, did you hear what I said?" "Huh?- ow sorry rome, what did you say?" "Nevermind I cooked you your favorite pancake" "Thank you Rome, you are really wise" "Who is this with you Lily?" "This is my frie-" "Boyfriend, I'm Lily's boyfriend, nice to meet you, I'm Rome" I was shocked by what I said and I don't know why I said that "Wait, he's not my boyfri-" "I'm going home Lily, Thank you Rome for preparing me food, I'm sorry for bothering you both" Ken left and I saw in Lily's eyes how angry she was with me "DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID WAS NOT GOOD!" "Lily, I don't know why I said that" "Don't say a word and don't talk to me" Lily went to her room and she was very angry, I don't even know why I said that

"Lily I'm sorry let's talk so we can fix it" Lily didn't say a word, I let her go and thought of giving her a gift, I think she will lose her anger towards me, I immediately went to the mall to buy chocolates I only bought a little so that I could also buy her new stuffed toy while I was walking around I noticed that someone was following me so what I did was I stopped and faced him and asked who he was "Who are you?" "hello rome" I couldn't see her face very well because she was wearing a hoodie and a face mask, but she had a female voice "Who are you why are you following me?" she took off her hoodie and her face mask, it turned out that she was my childhood friend "Kiarra is that you?" "Yes, I am" "When did you come home?" "Just yesterday I told mom that I wanted to see you so we went home" "who are you with?" "It's just me, did you buy too many things for your girlfriend?" "Oh, she's not my girlfriend, she's just my friend, Wait how did you know I was at the mall?" "Oh, your mom told me the address of your dorm and I saw you go out so I followed you" "Do you want to go to our dorm?" "Oh sure why not" Kiarra and I left the mall and went home

"Lily, I'm home" I saw Lily was in a pretty good mood so I handed her the things I bought "Ah Lily, this is childhood bes-" "Kiarra is that you?" "OMG Lily hello nothing has changed in your face you are still beautiful" "It's natural for me to be beautiful" "Wait do you know each other?" "Ow yes I met her because of Ken, this is Ken's sister"  "Wait...is that the one who came here earlier?" "Yes, that's him" I didn't expect Ken and Kiarra are siblings "My brother said he went to see you, Lily" "ah yes he also said that he wants to go on a date with me" "Date?, My brother has a girlfriend now" "Wait, he didn't tell me that" "Your brother looks like a play boy" "I didn't know he told you that" "Lily you said to focus on your studies, you just saw your old crush and that's how you are" "I'm sorry Rome I was angry with you earlier if you didn't say that I would have been hurt again" "It's ok Lily, I'm your friend and I want you to be happy and you deserve a good man" "By the way, Rome, I'm going home, mom is calling me, I'll see you again next time" "Oh sure, be careful, please tell your mom that you can visit our dorm" "Sure I will tell her that" Kiarra left and I talked to Lily about what happened earlier
