Between Us [COMPLETED]

5 : Lucky To Have Him

Averyn's POV

   I've got a text from Darren when I'm about to take a nap after spending whole day at school.

Darren: I guess we can't hangout tonight. I got lots of homeworks. Mind to help me?

I smirk while reply his text.

Me: As long as pizza on you :)

Darren: Fine ~_~

Me: I'll be there at 7. Your house is 'far away' from mine :(

Darren: Guess you're so stupid when talking about distance.

Me: If I'm stupid, why do you need my helps solving your homeworks?

Darren: Okay2. You're the smartest person in the world :)

Me: I'm going to take a nap. See ya later with a box of pizza on the table of your house ><

I shut my phone off, ready to off to dreamland.

   I slipped into grey shirt and sweatpants, getting ready to go to Darren's house because it's already 6:45 in the evening. I filled my backpack with my pencil case and some books may needed to help Darren doing his homeworks. As usual, I tied my hair in a high bun and walked downstairs. My mom was outstation and will be back on the day after tomorrow. My dad works overseas and will be home in two months.

   Mom owns a clothing line,DressAsBest and was busy preparing things for their next theme. My dad was opening a new branch of his company that produce furnitures at Hong Kong.Being the only child in this family,sometimes I'm glad having Darren as my accompany mate when I'm bored although he annoyed me all the times.

   I wore my flip flops, holding my backpack and phone, locking the door. The night's cold breeze made me hug myself while crossing the empty road, to Darren's house. I noticed that Mrs.Handerson's car parked in the porch. From outside, I could hear Darren's little brother, Danny chuckling probably being tickled by his only big brother. I knocked on the front door thrice,welcomed by sweaty Darren.

   "You're here! Come!" he offered.I saw sweats covering his forehead,and his brown hair looked damp. I stepped inside, waiting for him to lock the door and walked together into the living room. Mrs.Handerson rushed from the kitchen, dressed beautifully to greet me. I gave her a big hug and she held my shoulders, looking at me with a smile. "You're growing good, Ave. Anyway, I need to go to my friend's house and I'll bring Danny along. Make yourself comfortable, Ave and I left some dinner for you in the kitchen.Bye!" she stated, hugging Darren and ushered Danny to follow her. I pinched Danny's nose and kissed his cheeks, before he walked out from the house.

   Once we waved Mrs.Handerson and Danny a goodbye, Darren and I flopped ourselves on the couch."Where's your homeworks?" I asked. "I'll do it in my room. But first, I need to do a quick shower since I'm sweating. Boxing with Danny is really tiring," he complained. "Do you want to eat dinner first? Or grab pizza?" he asked. "Both." I grinned. "Foods in the kitchen. Make yourself at home while I took a shower,okay?" I nodded my head and walked into the kitchen while he headed upstairs.

   I saw a plate of spaghettie on the table, and start digging in because Mrs.Handerson saved it for me. I couldn't doubt that the spaghettie was really delicious because she was a chef. Now, Mrs.Handerson runs her own restaurant in town. After finished doing the dishes, I walked upstairs,to Darren's room. The door was unlocked so I just stepped in.

   It's been a while I didn't spend my times here but not much things changed. His king size's bed situated at the center of the room with his study table beside it, near the wall and window.A black TV set placed opposite with his bed.There's a guitar at a corner of his room and a bookshelf filled with lots of books. There's a small room beside a bathroom where he puts and wears his clothes there. So, I didn't have to face a naked him when I suddenly open the door. Waters splashed from in the bathroom, signing his was still showering. I sat on his bed, laying my backpack next to me and grabbed his guitar.

   I didn't know how to play a guitar but I randomly plucked it.Damn, it sounded horrible. I put it back and pulled out my phone,scrolling on my Instagram while humming Love Yourself. I heard the bathroom's door opened and my eyes still glued on my phone.Why should I look up when I knew he was surely has his towel wrapped his lower body only? "Hurry up. I'm not going to spend my whole night here with you," I said. He walked into his small room and after few minutes, he showed up. I looked over and saw he was wearing a big shorts and sleeveless shirt.

   "Let's do your homeworks," I chirped, putting off my phone.
