Unexpected Love

Chapter 4: "Bullied!"

   Riele's Pov
          After celebrating, I remembered something; I haven't booked my flight to New York, I haven't told Kyrie and I don't know how he'll feel about it. I have to tell him. I once said "when I get to the bridge I'll cross it" but right now I feel like the bridge has collapsed. Kyrie and I are like a bow and arrow. Without him I feel like a shoe without its laces.
While thinking about my current situation, Mason, my cousin calls.
"Hello"
"Hola, princessa"
"How are you doing?"
"Fine just training for the playoffs"
"Okay"
"How bout you?"
"Fine, thinking of how I'll tell Kyrie that I'm going to New York"
"Your coming to New York?"
"Yes, I am. I applied for a job there and I'm going for the interview on Monday"
"But that's in two days time"
"I know but I'll go tomorrow"
"Find a way to tell him"
"I will"
"I can help you book the flight"
"Really?, thanks but can you book for two"
"Sure, anything"
"I gotta go, bye" he says then ends the call. I went to the sitting room where I met Kyrie eating popcorn and watching Cartoons. I sit beside him.
"Baby, what are you doing?"
"Watching TV and eating, mom"
"Ok, where's Aunt Aera?"
"She just stepped out, she said something about an after party or something"
"Oh, okay" I say then stay in silence for about a minute before I could talk.
"Kyrie, can I talk to you?"
"Sure, I hope there's no problem"
"It wouldn't be a problem until I hear from you"
"O-kay"
"You know I told you I lost my job"
"Yes, and you'll get a new one"
"I was picked for an interview..."
"What's an interview?"
Of course, he's a child
"It's a face to face meeting that qualifies someone for a job"
"Okay"
"Now the problem is, it's in New York"
"New York?, I've always wanted to go to New York"
" Yeah, so Mommy's gonna keep you with Aunt Fiona so she can go for the interview and if I get the job, I'll come get you, how does that sound?"
"Good, but I'll miss you. Aunt Fiona is not going to be like you."
"And I know you, you will be a good boy..."
At least for few weeks cause I know he'll get a bit tired and definitely try to frustrate her.
"I know you will get the job, mom" he says then hugs me.
"Yes I will, then we'll go to New York" I say as he smiles then continues his Cartoon.
"Oh and also, I'll be leaving tomorrow"
"Okay, mom"
I better go pack his bags.
I head inside his room, I start packing his things, clothes, shoes and books. After that, I went to my room, I packed a few stuffs for my self. An official dress, Nighties, trousers, shoes, heels, shirts and two other dresses.
After packing, I went to the kitchen to take a packet of Chocolate and pumpkin seeds. As I came out, I saw Kyrie still watching Cartoons. I stand still watching him as my heart was filled with Joy. I walk towards him and peck him on his cheeks.
"Here" I say giving him a plate of pumpkin seeds.
"Thanks mom, but I don't want pumpkin seeds"
"You have to eat it to be big and strong"
"But you're eating chocolate"
"That's because I'm already grown"
"Be a good example mommy"
"What?, I am a good example" I say as he looks at the chocolate
"I don't think so"
"Oh really?" I say as I keep the chocolate on a coffee table then eat few pumpkin seeds.
"Now, that's a good example" he says smiling as he joins in.

**Hours Later**
             Kyrie was asleep and Aera was not yet back. I was in the sitting room watching a movie. Suddenly I hear a knock. I go straight to the door and open it.
"Aera"
"Hey, sorry for coming back so late" she says as she staggered into the house.
"It's okay" I say as she walks towards the corridor then stops and turn to look at me, like she remembered something
"Have you told Kyrie about the interview" she asks
"Yeah, and he's cool with it"
"Oh-k that's mature" she says smiling
"Yeah, so we're leaving tomorrow, Mason booked our flight"
"Mason!, your cousin who plays basketball and is..." She says then pause.
"Hot" she adds
"Oh, so you think he's hot" I say looking at her as I knew they weren't the best company, and so...she must be drunk.
"Ok, i think it's time for you to sleep" I say walking towards her. I lead her to the room, where she asked me to leave. Well nicely.
I go check on Kyrie then go to my room. I lay on the bed thinking of what tomorrow and Monday may hold and I didn't know when I went to Dreamland.
************************************
        A ray of sunlight gives me a hint of daytime as it gives a certain warmth. I open my eyes and check the time with my phone...
8:23 am. My flight is by 12. Four hours time, I need to prepare. Ugh, I still got to drop Kyrie off with Aunt Fiona.
I got up from my bed and went into the bathroom to shower. I wore my clothes and carried my luggage to the sitting room where I met Aera.
