Chapter 5 - Moving On

--------------------------------------------

"My answer is" I spoke with determination.

Uncle Henry, Aunt Rosa and ermmmm... Tyler... Simultaneously leans in.

"A big fat diabetes diagnostic 'no' " I gave them the answer that they have been dreading for.

Just not the right answer.

"What?!" Tyler shouted.

Everytime he lock his gaze on me, i would start to blush a deep shade of red.

Did he remember the kiss?  It's been two years since that night. He's drunk at that time so of course he won't! I hope...

"Y-you heard me. A big fat porky 'no way' " I tried covering my cheek with my hair.

"But honey. It's best if you go to New Hampshire with Tyler. He can give you a proper education and provides you a house. We will miss you two badly but a change will do us all good" Uncle Henry spoke on Aunt Rosaline's behalf since Aunt Rosaline couldn't mutter a word due to her constant sobbing.

"But uncle, don't you think it's not safe for a seventeen year old girl and an eighteen year old boy living under the same roof?" I replied while i avoid looking into a certain mesmerising eyes that belongs to the one and only Tyler.

"Of course it's safe. I promised to Toby i will keep you safe and i promise you i will not allow anyone harm you. All you need is to trust me" Tyler spoke clearly.

What's the point in arguing. My words will not be considered anyway. So i kept quiet.

"Furthermore Tyler would need a company" Uncle Henry butt in.

I saw Tyler roll his eyes.

"But how will i pay you back? It's too much. I can't afford to let you help me" I put on my last defense.

Tyler open his mouth to reply but he close it again.

Yay!

"If you insist. You can be his maid. You will pay him by making food, clean the house and do the laundry. Just like any other maid, he will pay you your monthly wages" Uncle Henry reply.

Monthly wages?! My eyes began to lit up. I could really use the money to pay Uncle Henry and Aunt Rosa. They have been kind to me since i was six and i haven't spend a single penny on them. I contemplate whether to accept the offer or stay with Uncle Henry and Aunt Rosa and probably find a job in a car wash with a perverted old man with cracked teeth.

I sigh

Claire 1 : 2000000000000000 Tyler

Dang!

"I guess"

--------------------------------------------

Tyler took the luggage from my grab and put it beside his in the trunk of his sleek gallardo.

I hug a still sobbing Aunt Rosaline and bid my goodbye to her.

"I'll miss you aunt. To the moon and back. No wait, make it to Tyler's house and probably back" I snicker.

I'm so funny!

But my attempt of making a joke goes unnoticed by Aunt Rosa.

Dang!

"Hey Ariana! You're wasting my time! Hurry!" Tyler holler.

Pfft. Poppycock.

I bid my short and sweet goodbye and board Tyler's ride.

Here we go.

I can do this.

"Mom! You're wasting your time crying over a girl like her!" Tyler holler before he drove off.

Fuck! I can't do this!
