Meant to Be

Shirley POV

"Chill!!? How the fuck am I suppose to chill when you think that money can always solve problems and on top of that You! being all so disgusted to even clean the toilet that you use!! " Kerissa yelled in anger.

I was kind of shocked when Kerissa yelled at me. I actually didn't exactly mean what I said. Maybe she took it by heart.

Chill chill, I didn't mean it in that way" I confronted. "Okay then I'll clean properly "

After that we did our job in silence. I didn't dare utter a single word. She was the first one to leave. I left shortly after her. It was already past 5 pm. I still felt bad for trying to bribe her with money for cleaning. I DO NOT like to clean. At home, I have maids to do that. Cleaning toilets were out of context.

Naomi had informed me earlier that we won't be having practice. I didn't feel like attending anyways. I walked out of college and decided to buy some snacks. I informed my driver to pick me up from the supermarket around 6.

I was too engrossed in searching for some good snacks that I didn't notice I was going to bump into someone. Then it hit me when the person yelped in surprise and dropping their things.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to, sorry I didn't see you, I'm really -" I kept on apologizing while helping to pick their things up.

"Hey hey hey, it's okay " I recognized that voice. I looked up to find Arin smiling at me.

"I'm really sorry again, I didn't see you "

"I should apologize too, I didn't see you as well " she said smiling guiltily.

"What are you doing here? " I asked her while handing her, her things.

"Why would I be in the supermarket, Sherlock? "

"Sorry again, but I was just asking c'mon ~ " I whined. Wait....i Whined?  What is wrong with me?

She chuckles before answering " I was just messing with you "

"Hmmp "

"What are you doing here? "

"Guess Sherlock "

"OK OK, I needed to buy some supplies "

"And I wanted to buy snacks "

"By the way, I saw you at the hospital the day before, were you sick or something? " she asked me.

"Oh, I went to visit my niece there, she's getting cancer treatment " I answered sadly.

"How old is she? " Arin asks

"She's 10"

"That's too young, how is she doing so far? "

"She's getting better day by day "

"Next time you visit her, call me. I wanna tag along " she said smiling, making me feel warm.

"Sure why not, I'm going to visit her tomorrow again "

"What time? "

"After classes end "

" Should we buy some chocolates? You know in case they let her have it " she recommended.

"Just buy if you want, plus she loves chocolates " I answered.

"Great then " she said walking up to the shelves that keeps chocolates.

After Arin finally chose what to buy and finishing to pay, I gave her a bar of chocolate.

"Do you mind giving this to Kerissa?" I asked making her smile at me.
