A Promise

Chapter 5 Pillow Fight

I was wearing a white sundress and we were at the same country hut, but I couldn't find her nor the kids, I looked around but found no one. As soon as I was about to leave the hut, someone grabbed me from behind and turned me around, for me to face Shawn, I just smiled at him. He then placed his hands on my hips and motioned me to dance as well. It wasn't like I didn't want to but, I couldn't dance with him I didn't even like him. Nevertheless I put my hands on his shoulders and we were about to dance when the door flew open and two police officers came in handcuffing me and Shawn for illegal dance?

I snapped out of my dream, my breath heavy with tiny bits of sweat on my forehead. No I couldn't possibly dream of Shawn, I don't like him. But I'd read that we only dream of something about which we are thinking deep in our hearts. And I certainly wasn't and didn't want to think about Shawn, I couldn't like him. Even if I did what would gran say and what would Lola say, she thinks of me as a girl who couldn't make a friend as a boy, could directly jump on liking a college guy? Whom I didn't even know.

I just brushed off the confusion from my mind and got ready for school.

~~~~~

School ended pretty soon and today Lola's mom dropped me. Thankfully!

I opened the door only to find gran chatting with mum and someone else, who could that be. I entered further to the lounge and was the first time shocked or rather tensed to see Shawn there chatting with them. As soon as he saw me he waved a hi. I waved back, totally confused of what was he doing here chatting with them and does mum even approve of him being my friend coz he's a total stranger! Oops! Okay total someone whom I don't know properly.

Mum gave me a welcoming smile and motioned me to sit as well. I sat down and gran spoke up, 'Isle isn't it wonderful that Shawn's dad is your dad's boss, they're pretty good friends and business partners and here I thought that we knew nothing about him!'

What the hell his dad was Kimberley and Jacobs head leading boss and he drives a cab?

'Oh! That's great gran. Shawn would you like to come see my room there's something I have to show you about gran's umm.... Novel!' , I say quickly running to my room.

In a moment Shawn enters inside smiling and I don't know but I kind of suddenly hate him for doing these cute gestures. Why? Because they're effecting me!

'So what's it you want to tell me about gran's novel?', he asked sarcastically.

'You know that I don't want to talk about that'

'So what do you want to talk about, you're falling for me or what?', he asks casually.

Casually seriously, I just wanted to bury myself alive at that very moment but I think I tried hiding my blush, which I'm not good at anyways.

'No that's never gonna happen and anyways I wanted to ask you, your dad's so rich and you're a cabbie? Like seriously?'

'Yeah! I mean, what's wrong if I wanna earn on my own?'

'Good point!'

'Yeah, so that's it what you wanted to talk about? I guess!'

'Yeah! No I mean, what up! How did you end up here, chatting with mum and gran?'

'Oh! That, well your gran called up for my help for her novel, so I dropped by, and then I came to know, my dad and you dad work in the same company! And so we kind of are not strangers anymore!', he said emphasising on the word stranger.

'Look I'm still sorry for the stranger thing, and I just hope you somehow forget about it!'

'I don't really care about it, I was just having some fun!', he said, his eyes gleaming with joy for my seriousness.
