Terry Terry

Chapter 9 "Summer plans"

Terry went to see Nina to tell her what had happened at school with Neil. He had finished his work in the stables and his homework, so he went to get her to go for a walk in the local park. They sat on a bench together and they were eating ice cream Terry had bought for them.

- I can't believe that boy! Said Nina, what a moron! He wanted to make you look gay? Not that there's anything wrong with that! I bet some boys were happy in their hearts about that thought for the few minutes that rumour lasted...

They burst out laughing.

- I don't know how long I'm going to stand living in that family... the father is fine, but the Dragon Lady and her two brats...

- Eliza attacked me at the salon the other day, I heard her cousin saying she had tried something with you...

- Yeah, about that...Eliza came in my room one day and she literally threw herself at me...

- Meaning?

- She was wearing a transparent nightgown without the robe and she kissed me...

- What??? And you let her?

- I was surprised...

- How long did it last?

- I don't know, maybe 3 seconds...

- 1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi... That's way too long!

- When you put it like that...

- 1 second would've been a second too many!!!! That's why she was so jealous...she only got a crumb...

- When you got the whole cake...

- And I don't want to share it... I have my cake and I'm eating it too!

She kissed Terry on the lips when she said that, he kissed her back.

- And I have to say, you're the best cake I've ever had..., she said

They burst out laughing.

- I have something else to tell you, said Terry

- Uh oh...now what?

- Well it's about Antonia...

- You didn't kiss her too, I hope!

- No...but she suggested something...in fact I think she's going to do it...

- What? Said Nina who was afraid of the answer...

- She said she was going to write her Great Aunt so she could ask her to adopt me...

- The eagle lady?

- No, apparently the head of the family is another Great aunt...who's always abroad...

- Oh...you living in the same house as Antonia...

- Nothing is going to happen, trust me...

- I trust you... Oh Terry...

- It's going to be fine... anyway it's not going to happen now...

- But in the mean time you have to continue living in the house from hell...

- Yes...

- Oh God, I don't which one is worst for me, you suffering or you being happy in the same house as Antonia...

- Nina...

- She's in love with you Terry...I think they all have a crush on you, but Antonia is the only one not hiding it... I like her for her honesty...so I guess I would feel better having you in their house far away from those dragons... who knows what they're going to come up with next...? Because they are not going to stop until they get rid of you...
