Chapter 7

Alex' POV

We're still here in front of our door, Erma looking at me guiltily, same as Denver, while Drex is just looking at me, examining each structures in my face.

I don't know what should I react, but do they really have to lie and surprise me?

And this Drex, why is he looking at me like that again? I'm sure I already fixed myself, and even my messy hair yesterday is so tied up today. So what now?

Haiz! I frowned silently, enough of silly surprises, maybe I should get used to this kind of things, especially when it comes to seeing Drex, I know there's some attraction, but I need to stop this as early as now, and I'd better talk to Erma before it's too late.

"Come in." I finally composed myself.  

I lead them to the living area and offer the sofa. "So what  makes you come here?" I ask straightly.

"Nothing really, we just wanna visit you." Erms saying. Huh? Visit me? Why? Am I sick?

"For what? I'm better Erms." I feel annoyed at it, I'm more at peace whenever I'm alone. 

"Uhm! Alex! I heard your playing guitar, Erms said, wanna get some jammin'?" Denver asking, oh em! So Erms is sharing some things about me with this guy, hmm.. well, only Mom and her knows that I play guitar. Even in highschool no one knows I know how to play, it's sort of a pastime. Whenever I play, it lightens my mood. 

Erms look at Denver, I know she feels like slapping him, but she just gave him a bad look, just like shut-up-denny-i'll-do-this-one! hmm.. While Drex is just silently sitting in a one-seater sofa, facing me. I didn't mind him.

"Girl I'm sorry huh, but I just shared them a little bit about your hobby. Well, we're not here for that, we just wanna borrow some of your collections, I'll just wanna let them hear it." Erma's long explanation it is. I know she don't want me to get upset or what. I feel guilty now, they didn't do something wrong after all. So I smiled.

But hey! All my music collections is in internet now, you know, and you can even downloand it illegally. Hmm.. Really Erms. Okay, I'll let this go now. They are already here.

"Is that all? okay I'll get it" I ask, and saw Erms nod many times, "Want some snacks?" I bet they didn't bring any. All I can see is an acoustic guitar Denver's holding.

"Excuse me for a while." then I went to the kitchen.

But what would I prepare, there's no any good stuffs here, Mom's not home yet, I check on refrigerator, all are raw, I check the cabinets, and hola! I saw some ready-to-eat cookies and some chips too. This is better than nothing, I pour the cookies in a bowl, prepared some drinks and call Erms, "Can you bring this there, I'll just go up, get those collections you need." I told her.

They said their goodbyes after 2 hours. They didn't stay too long, at least, I know that Erms can sense that I'm not at ease whenever there are other people in our house. 

Mom arrived home late in the evening, I wanted to ask, but no need, I guess she's from office, she's holding pads of paper, and some envelopes, whoah! she's really the most workaholic mom I ever know. But it's Sunday, it's her off as far as I know, but I didn't bother asking. She looks tired.
