Am not getting that, Naomi quickly pick up her earpiece ignoring the door bell,okay lucie you can at least....
Sorry I can't hear you she scream,turning on the blender to cover up, don't worry i will get it Adan stand up from where he was sitting.
I can hear greetings and laughter at the other side of the door but who can it be, Adan just moved into the neighborhood.
He walk back into the living room laughing as Natan and Jake walk in after him,
Jake!!
Naomi stand up to hug him.You didn't tell me you will be coming here ,yea I know I want to surprise Kyle.
Surprise I ask? with what??This, Natan pass forward a box, of which I assume its chocolate i collected it checking what's inside... This is empty i trow it back at Natan, well we got lost on the way and we use it to cure boredom but don't worry we will make it up to you when you fully recover.
They both engulf me in an hug,oh no, like seriously are you all here to visit or hurt me.
They quickly release me laughing
By the way Adan how did you get to know Kyle jake ask
I should be asking I interfere, not you guys asking,well we go way back, I mean way way back,thats in grade school right Jake ask Natan who was busy checking something on his phone to which he nod his head to.
Remember my Aunt Catherine, yes i think i do, well they live on the same street before I guess
wait so you re telling me you guys are childhood friends.Well if you put it that way, he stand up from the chair, and where are you going I ask,kitchen and don't tell me you don't have anything eatable. Well she didn't Lucie walk into the living room holding a tray with 4 plates of what I assume to be rice.
And you guys ain't getting even a spoon
well am sure Adan will share
Right ? they both grin looking at Adan who have been rather too silent since Natan and jake's arrival, well bro's over everything he smile.With that they did this 3 handed greeting that's weird but awesome, now I believe this guys have known each other for some while for them to be able to perfect the greeting.
Hey Adan snap his finger across my face bringing me out of my trance, well eat up before it gets cold, jake and Natan are already eating Adan's so I volunteer to share with Adan leaving jake and Natan to eat his.
Well that' turn out to be one hell of a bad idea, we ended up making a mess of the food, i bearly take 2 spoon, I can't help but stare at how he chew , even though he caught me steering twice but just smile, it later became awkward when he insist on feeding me to which my cheek almost tomatolise to death with embarrassment,( is that even a word ?) I don't really know how Adan got to me this fast but who can i blame, he's cute, and smell like cotton candy.
And at that moment of me thinking of him as cotton candy i no someone will choose that moment to speak.
Okay guys I have to go,Naomi,Lucie can I talk to you guys for some sec.
Two minutes later I wonder what he was telling them but i no it's about me am sure i can feel it the way Lucie smile and look at me while they discuss.
What can they be possibly talking about
They all walk into the living room with Adan, jake and Natan saying their goodbyes.
Naomi follow them to the door talking to jake then giving him a kiss before waving,locking the door behind her.
So what did he say, I ask anxiously
nothing Naomi reply walking up the staircase as Lucie help me steadied myself on my feet.
What did you mean by nothing? I ask as i walk closely behind her watching my steps as I climb slowly.
He didn't say anything all you need now is a shower you smell like pickles, rotten pickles
that's true though Lucie added before walking past me up the stairs.
********
After gently striping off my cloth, i drop the clean towel and undies i grab from my closet somewhere dry I quickly brush my teeth thrice making sure am totally clean it's been long I feel my teeth i was off with listerin before dipping my self in the tub allowing the water to run over me, leaving my hand out of the tub, water can ruin it I still got cast and bandages on it.
After half an hour of gentle scrubbing i was sitting on my bed with Lucie looking for what I will wear, I can't help but think of what Adan say to them though and i no i will get the truth out of them soon.
Why will i need a cardigan ? I ask as Lucie place my favorite green cardigan on the bed, well it's cold outside so you will need one, I know that but I ain't going out am indoor you can as well put that back in the drawer.
Oh you re going outside Naomi grab the cardigan from Lucie dropping it on the bed
Outside??? so if i may ask where are we going,
well it's all Adan plan so I don't know where exactly for now
With the call of his name I can't help but smile
Adan
what's with him, well he suggests since you don't have any food stuff at home he want to take us to the groceries store to buy something's and some food too, you can't keep on eating pizza or take out all day long.
Wait...he said that ?
I ask making sure it's not some kind of prank, yes he did so get dressed he should be here any minutes.
I can feel my vision blurring from the tears foaming up in my eyes, i no am used to tears but this time it's different, am not about to cry cause I feel pain.
Not cause i feel sad,not cause I lost someone but cause I have friends who care about me,yes I know it's all Adans but Lucie and Naomi are always here for me even the boy's showed up.
They re like the family I never had, or maybe i do but they didn't last,Naomi and Lucie engulf me with a hug telling me it's okay
all is well
I love you guys i whisper, we love you too Kyle.
We remain in that position until the door bell break us up, oh no Adan
I quickly grab the gown Lucie pick for me sliding my self into it, looking at it through the mirror
yes i no have got shapes but this gown just bring out the whole figure i had to turn facing Lucie.
Seriously Lucie We ain't going on a date it's just shopping, well you will thank me later she smile.
the door bell ring again and Naomi run out of the room downstairs to attend to Adan, I look at my self through the mirror again then I understand why she picked the gown.
It totally covered where i had cuts,scares not yet healed and fresh bandages, yes I should thank her I quickly brush up my face applying some little foundation to cover up the little scratches on my face not yet gone.
I almost forgot how to apply this thing it's been months I wonder how it got here I can't remember me having this well I guess this belongs to Lucie or Naomi
After finishing with the final touch on my face and applying lipgloss i look around for what's left,Lucie left the room some minutes ago, i grab my mini hand bag going through my purse making sure it's all good
I turn off the light locking the door.
********
