Almost Impossible

Chapter Three

*James Starwarts*

     Believe me, the worst sight to walk into, is that of your dad and your stepmum making out the sitting room couch like some teenagers.
"Oh come on dad" i groaned covering my eyes with my palm. " couldn't you guys have done this upstairs, in your room? People live here you know" I whined. 
I could here my dad's throaty laughter "We're sorry kiddo, we just didn't think you'd be back so early." he explained and i my jaw dropped.
  "You didn't think? We always come home by three thirty, not one minute later." i reminded him.
"Well we lost track of time, besides this lovely dasmel can make any man loose track of time when around her" i could feel it , he was about to do it again.
"Dad!" I scolded.
"Don't James, not in front of your daughter" Daina said, and i sighed in relief while taking my hands off "Finally someone who has some decency." I walked to the kitchen drowning my dad's laughter with the slamming of the door.  I walked over to the fridge  to find some ham
to make a simple sandwich before heading up to start work on my designs before getting ready to go over to Bells' place.
"Shit!" i cursed angrily slamming the fridge shut. Just then Shane walked into the kitchen.
"Hey take it easy on the poor thing, you might break it." he said. But i ignored him.
"We've ran outta ham." i yelled as i stormed back into the living room where my dad now sat watching a football match, Diana was nowhere in sight.
"We've ran outta ham. How can we run outta ham?" i yelled at him like it was his fault. Maybe it was.
"Oohh,  yeah ham. I hate the last one sorry." he said so coolly as if was nothing. Okay i was literally fuming.
"You ate the last one? But you know how much i love to eat ham sandwich after college." i told him still fuming.
"Which is why i'm gonna give you money to buy some more" he took out his wallet and handed me a ten dollar note.
   I glared at him then scoffed "Unbelievable" I snatched the change from him and walked out the front door, slamming it behind me then heading for a grocery store nearby.

   I scanned through the food and provision section, looking at every line for ham.
"ham...ham...ham" i mummured to myself glancing through. "Yes" i sighed out when i finally found it. I took it out and turned to go to the cashier when i suddenly hit something hard, the hardness of what i hit made the ham fall of my hand.  I looked up to see what i'd been hit by.  It wasn't a  what, it was a who, a very hot who.
"Darn it! I'm so clumsy" he said in a very hot voice. He bent over and picked up the ham and handed it to me.
"Forgive me really, i'm such a clutz"
"No no its okay. Accidents happen." i said stupidly.
He smiled at me "I should have been careful. Why don't i pay for it. Its the least i could do"
"Its okay really." I smiled back.
"I insist. "
I hesistated. But his smile was so persistent, I just couldn't say no. "Okay"
We walked over to the cashiers and he paid for the ham I picked.
"Thanks" i said collecting the polybag from the cashier.
"My pleasure. By the way I'm Leo. Leonardo Rios, you are?"  he asked politely.
"Mitchelle Starwarts." I told him.
"Nice to meet you Mitchelle. I'm sorry about that really"
"Its okay, stop apologizing, you already paid for it."
"Okay." He kept staring at me and smiling. It felt wierd but i liked it.
"You aren't from around here?" It was more of a statement than a question.
"Yeah. I'm actually new here. Just moved in. I live two blocks away with my mum." he explained.
"Why did you move?" I had to ask
"Well... my dad... he past away... and well... my mum sold our house" he had a hard time getting the words out and i felt bad for asking.
"I'm so sorry." i said sincerely.
he waved off my apology with a smile "Don't be..." he sighed. "i should be on my way..."
"Yeah, me too." i chuckled. i turned to go.
"Wait!"
"Yeah?"
he hesistated before speaking. "Can i have your number?"
"I haven't got my phone with me. Why don't you give me yours and i'll call you."
"Cool"
He scribbled his number at the back of my receipt and i pocketed it.
"Bye"
*****
"What took you so long?" dad asked as i storm into the kitchen.
"Doesn't matter anymore" I got out the bread and yelled
"Ham sandwich here i come!!!"
