The new girl nextdoor

chapter 48

Taras POV

As I leaned on the balconys railing gazing up at the star's I felt the air around me growing colder I left myself shudder as the cold air kissed my skin "what are you doing out here?" I turned around startled to see wade standing by the door "just enjoying the view" I told him and turned around putting my back to wade I then heard footsteps as he came closer to me "it's a beautiful night" I heard his voice to my left I nodded my head in agreement, we stood their for a few moments making small talk it was a little strange but I appreciated his effort "why don't you come back inside?" He asked me I glanced at him then back at the stars "you go ahead. I won't be long" I told him "alright then" I heard his footsteps grow fainter as he walked back inside. I looked at my watch and it was 8:35pm "better get back inside" I told myself when I walked back inside I saw Ryan in the kitchen while the others were on the sofa near the tv so I walked in the kitchen "hey there" Ryan greeted me with a smile "what are you doing here by yourself?" I asked Ryan chuckled "I could ask you the same thing" I smiled at him "good point" I answered "well I'm just grabbing drinks for some of them" he pointed at the group around the tv "need a hand?" I asked him Ryan smiled at me "na I've got it, thanks" it was silent for a moment then Ryan spoke up "I'm glad you're here" I looked at him confused "mark, Matt and I lost someone very close to us early in the year and mark just wasn't the same, and then you came along and changed all of that" I continued to look at Ryan as he explained what happened "you saved him Tara" I shook my head in disbelief "it's true Tara" Ryan told me "thank you" I couldn't help but return the smile "anytime" I replied.

Amanda, Matthias, Benny, rafi and I sat near the kitchen chatting about our childhoods while Ryan,Matt,mark and wade played video games on the tv, Matthias,Benny and rafi were drinking beers that's when I noticed that Amanda hadn't drunken any alcohol tonight every time she drunk something she would drink grape juice this was odd considering Amanda liked wine, thats when it clicked I leaned over to Amanda and whispered in her ear "you're pregnant aren't you?" She looked at me shocked then smiled and nodded "we're keeping it quiet for awhile" she told me "I won't tell a soul. Not even mark" I swore to her "congratulations" I gave her a gentle hug the men gave us a strange look "I really needed that hug, thanks Amanda" I covered up "it's okay, I know it's hard sometimes" Amanda rubbed my back gently "you alright Tara?" Benny asked concerned I nodded my head "I'm fine honesty" I smiled. It was almost 9:30pm and I was bored out of my mind so Ryan took me,Amanda and Matthias for a tour around the apartment we stopped outside of their office area and I spotted a election guitar sitting in the corner of the room "may I?" I gestured at the guitar "go ahead" Ryan told me. I picked up the guitar and plunged it into the amp before turning it on I gently strumded the guitar making sure it was in tune, my hands gilded up and down the neck of the guitar as I strumed the strings with the right notes along with the lyrics of the song ~princess of China-coldplay~ "I had no idea you could play" Matthias said surprised after I put the guitar back and unplugging the amp "just something I picked up" I shrugged then we continued around the apartment.
