I can't believe Ares agreed without even letting me finish asking the other day and I didn't even have the chance to tell him where we were going, saying I should stay as long as I want, I hesitated because it may begin to raise suspicions.
Nellie and I planned to surprise mum today because we usually don't go home unless it's a holiday but now I guess when you have a boyfriend like Ares, you get anything you want.
Nellie came back downstairs with her bags in one hand and a bottle of vodka in the other hand. I watch as she squeezes the bottle into her bag and waves at me to hurry. “I'm ready, let's go before the Uber leaves.”
“Hold on a minute,” I held her back before she could leave. “What was that for?”
“Huh? What's what?” She asks setting her bag on the floor.
“That bottle of vodka?” I gesture towards her bag. “Who is it for?”
It better not be what I'm thinking.
“Oh yhhh, I bought it as a gift for abuela. You know she likes it right?”, she says.
Oh. My. God.
I pinch my forehead staring at her. “ Nellie for Godsake she is sixty-five years old, you can't keep giving her that everytime we visit and you know if mum finds out she's gonna kill you both.”
“Well. . . .she likes it ok?”
“The old woman used to own a bar shop nellie, what do you expect. . . .you know. . . .just leave it, let's get going.” I grab my bags and made sure all the gifts and presents were in the car before we entered.
Nellie was in the passenger seat while i sat in the back. I pulled out my phone and took a selfie while eating gummy bears. I was looking at the photos when I heard Nellie and the driver arguing. What now?
“You know we paid money for this ride and not paper mister, so at least we should get a good, vibing music playing.” She shot at him.
I looked at the young man who had his attention focused on the road, because I'm not sure he's paying any attention to Nellie right now. I tapped her on the shoulder, and she turned around to face me.
“Nellie just leave him alone and let it be, besides you have a phone. Listen to your music there and stop troubling the poor man.”
“Ok mam.” She said in a sarcastic tone.
I rolled my eyes and leaned back to the seats. Taking up my phone again, I began posting the pictures on my Instagram. I was so tempted to post about the proposal on the internet but I don't want to make it public. Yet.
“Thank goodness I never leave my novels at home.” I say to myself as I bring out my all time favourite dark romance book, ‘DETONATE’ and dived right in.
The moment we pulled up, the driver dashed out of the car and began carrying everything to the front door. I rang the door bell and few times before I heard footsteps steps approaching.
