chp 5 The dinner and jenga all on the floor.
⚓I woke up around 8 and my eyes were half open. The light from the crackle of my curtains always woke me up. That was the time of the day when I loved everything. I took out my phone from the charger. It was fully charged.
" holy crap ! 28 missed calls from max " I screamed
I called him immediately and thank goodness he picked it up !
" is everything okay max ?"
" you know what Maya I've never seen someone as careless as you are "
I thought to myself for a second and then I realised I did not call him yesterday night when I reached home !
" hello hello hello " he was screaming through the phone
" I'm sorry max ! I forgot and I was too sleepy "
" bye I have some work to do talk to you later "
"okay bye "
I know he was angry but I even knew I'll make it up to him !I got out of my bed brushed my teeth had a bath and wore my shorts with a tank top , tied my hair into a bun and went down stairs for breakfast .
" good morning sweety " mom said "morning ma "
as usual ma had made pan cakes with strawberries .
I pour myself a cup of coffee and had my pancakes served .
I had to ask ma about Neal coming over ! I had invited Neal but then I had to ask ma once
" ma can I get a friend over for dinner ?
who is he bee ? ma asked
Everyone in my house called me bee because of issac. I hated that name !
" he is a friend of max's and has recently shifted here , I met him twice and he seems a good guy "
" okay call him over for dinner " ma replied and I said Thank you .
ma had told me that Paige could not be here cause Charles was not in town. Paige is my elder sister and Charles is her husband .Paige is the eldest among us three.I went back up in my room. I had a lot of work to do ! As in school I was in art section I had much to complete for the reopening ! I had to complete 12 different Collage's and submit it by the end of next to next week. As we are leaving after 4 days for Paris I could not get any much time to complete it so whatever time I was getting here I had to utilize it to the best.
Max and I met when our fathers had organized lunch together . We started talking right from there and never ever stopped . As time passed we became more and more closer.It was almost 5 30 in the evening. I had ordered Chinese for lunch . I had completed two Collage's till now. I had to get ready for dinner by 6 30. I went for a bath .
I washed my body with my favorite orange body wash. I came out with a towel rapped around my body and took out a black dress. as soon as I was done with the dress. I applied a bit of make up. I made my eyes dark and left my hair curled up. I was ready by 6 45 and went down to help my mother .
she had prepared lasagna and stew rice as her speciality . For desert she had baked walnut cake. I loved her cooking . I had helped her putting plates on the table . I cleaned the sofa in the living room.
knock knock !
" I'll take it ma "
I opened the door and it was Diana aunt . max's mother following with john uncle max's father. Iver was max's brother but was not here. He was studying in Australia.
I hugged Diana aunt
" you look stunning as usual dear " she whispered in my ear and made me blush a bit .
I hugged max and said sorry to him for yesterday.
My eyes were searching for Neal .
" he will come in some time bee " max said . He could read my mind. Just kidding of course he will he is my best friend .
" oh hello James put on the tv for baseball match " john uncle said it to my dad.
Diana aunty rushed to the kitchen to help ma.
I and max went up stairs to my room .
" wow bee I loved your collage " he complemented me .
" 10 more to go maxi " I laughed
" you will do it I know " he smiled
we sat on my bed .
we were talking about how will we manage after getting into our graduation college . Max is going to get a car. We were waiting to get our timmings as he was in drama and I was in art.
Till that time he helped me with the giant jenga blocks.
" bee max your friend is here " Issac came in my room and called us down.
Till the time we reach down I saw my dad inspecting Neal and i giggled. Well Diana aunt and john uncle already knew Neal so they were defending Neal .He was wearing a cream trouser with a black shirt with hair all done and looking hot as usual.
" come let's welcome him " I said it to max
" he already got welcomed by your dad " he laughed .
" bee your friend seems good " ma said . max hugged Neal and got him in .
I went I raised a hand for a gentle handshake till the time I heard dad saying hug him dear this is not the way to invite someone in .
I hugged Neal . His heart was beating fast until my started beating when he whispered " bee huh cute ! " in my ears. His hands were on my waist and mine around his neck. He smelt as good as anyone could fall in love with him instantly . I took a step back and gave a smile.
" come on in son " dad said
he had bought flowers for ma ! strangely I had not expected it. On the other hand dad was being over friendly with Neal but Issac was still inspecting him.
we all had our dinner after which it was time for giant jenga ! it was like a tradition.
me Diana aunt john uncle Issac were in team A
well Neal ma dad and max were in team B .
we had a lot of fun until because of me trying to pull out a jenga block and slipping my leg which pushed the tower and the whole tower came onto me. I had got a swelling on my forehead. It was paining a lot and thus I had to sit in my room with a ice pack on it. Max and Neal sit with bee Diana aunt said. Till almost 11 everyone had left but max and Neal were still here.
we watched The conjuring till 2 in the morning. it was time for them to go. max tugged me into my bed kissed my cheek and went. I did not want Neal to do anything but even he came kissed me on my forehead and said take care bee. His warm breath still was on my head as I could not stop sensing it. I shut my table lamp off and went to sleep stopping my thoughts about Neal.Note : This chapter was all about Neal entering maya's family and getting more close to Maya. This chapter is also from Maya's point of view as I mentioned it earlier.
