Don't Let Me Go (Book 1)

Chapter 28

I quickly reached for my bag pack next to me, Then bought out the two wraps of sandwich and kept them by my side. Then I searched for the handkerchief she lent me the other day '' Here '' I handed the clean, nicely folded handkerchief over to her

'' oh... you really brought it back '' she collected it

'' sorry... I don't know what perfume you use and even if I do, I can't afford it ''

'' it's ok '' she sniffs it '' I like this.. what is the name of the perfume '' she surprised me

'' You like it? ''

'' Yeah.. it smells fresh ''

'' oh.... ''Nodding while trying to remember the name '' Honestly, I don't know. I never check the name, I just tell my sister to get it for me whenever I am out of perfume and she gets me the same one, saying it suits me '' I felt stupid as I explained and Bianca busted into laughter and Damn, she is gorgeous when she laughs. She lifts her face to face the sky with her eyes closed, laughing out loud.

'' You are a unique one Maria '' speaking in between her laugh and I watched as she settled down.

'' hh '' I sighed '' I better eat before the bell rings '' I reached for my sandwich and began to unwrap it. Then it came to my realization that, she was sitting next to me. I can't be eating while she watches and on second thought, she may not eat food like this and will reject my offer which will be annoying and at the same time I will eat to my satisfaction.

'' what is wrong '' Confused as to why I stopped mid-way'' I looked at her in a puzzled manner and this made her a bit nervous, she tried to hide it but I noticed.

'' Bianca... we are not friends right?''

'' what?''

'' I want to be sure... since you are being nice to me... I want to be sure that it is just because and nothing else '' she reminded silent for a while

'' And what if I say that I want to be your friend '' I frowned at her words

'' Oh Damn it '' I let out

'' Do you hate me that much ''

'' That is not It... it's just that now I have shared my food ''

'' What !!!'' stunned, '' so you asked because you don't want to share your food? ''

'' what?.. did I do wrong?''

'' Maria... I am not hungry, I didn't ask for your food '' She spoke like the rich brat that she was and I rolled my eyes. From my different part-time jobs. I have noticed this about a lot of rich kids. A lot of them don't know what real friendship is like, I may not have many friends myself but I know the feeling of friendship at the least.

'' I know you didn't ask for my food Bianca.. usually friends share food, without being asked '' I unwrapped the sandwich '' here and if you turn it down, you will ruin the little good impression I have about you '' I warned and she stared at the sandwich, puzzled '' take it '' I said

'' I don't like being ordered ''

''It wasn't an order Bianca... I am asking you to take it '' I smiled. Still staring at it, she finally took it, I watched in silence, she took a bit from it. She chewed slowly and almost immediately she increased her pace. She liked it and this made me smile '' it's good right ''

'' what did you put in this '' eyes wide open

'' My mother's secrete recipe '' I reached for the other one, unwrapped it and began to eat

'' it's different from the sandwich the cook makes ''

''surely, there is a difference '' I spoke proudly and we ate in silence. We eat like we have been friends for a long time like she was not the sister to a total jerk
