We Belong Together

Chapter Three

Andrew's POV
I stepped out of the car to greet Mrs. Grims, as well as Billie. I waved my hand to welcome them. Billie ran towards me and hugged me so deeply as if the end of the world is near.

"I missed you Andrew."

I let go my arms off her and smiled. "As well as I did."

"Oh. I almost forgot... I have something for you." She grabbed something from her brown leather backpack and handed it to me.

"What's this?" I hold her present and examined it side by side. The box was wrapped by a purple leather cloth.

"Happy Anniversary Friendship!" She yelled at me happily.

" Awww. So sweet... Friendship, I have one for you too." Literally, we called each other as 'Friendship', to show our companionship for each other.

"Really? Oh, I know you won't forget me Andrew..." She smiled at me and clap her hands together, with her eyes filled with ecstasy. I can see that Mrs. Grims and Dad are talking together on a distance. By the way, I put the present out from my backpack and handed it to her. The box was wrapped by a floral pink gift wrapper. Billie jumped with full of excitement. I know Pink is her favorite color although she's not that much girlish, she's a nerd and most of them doesn't state a favorite color.

"Thank you so much Andrew! I can't wait to open this up! Ohh I like this wrapper." She giggles.

"Yes I kow you would." I laugh.

She tear up the wrapper, gently, and saw a small black box. She opened it and saw my present, a friendship necklace rolled around the perfume that I bought yesterday after working with my Dad. The necklace is color silver and very simple, it has a heart which a shape of a key engraved in it. I can see in Billie's face the shock. Her eyes met mine.

"Do you like it?" I asked. In her face I can say that she didn't.

"Absolutely not!" She averted her eyes to my gift while rolling off the necklace from the perfume. I was quite disappointed when she said that.

"It's okay Billie, I know you wouldn't... Besides it's only..." She commanded me to stop as I about to say that the gift was cheap. I saw her wearing the necklace, she also used the perfume and spray it throughout her body.

"What you were saying again? Of course I loved it! That's why I don't like it."
She laughed in frustration. I really thought she wouldn't like my gift for her, it's cheap, only I can afford such expensive things why I wouldn't buy and give it to her? "Andrew don't be sad, I'm just teasing you and making you laugh." She added.

"I really thought you wouldn't." I said as I laugh.

"Look what's mine." I showed her my simple necklace with a key.

"Oh I know where exactly to put this." She hold the key and put it in her heart necklace, exactly the shape of the engraved key shape. We both laugh aloud because of that.

"Billie let's go inside..." I pulled her harshly, she shout as she hurts, "Yaaaaaaah!" I screamed too.

"Baby girl, don't be that loud." Dad said as he approached us.

"Apologize Dad, and Mrs. Grims. Sorry. Can we go in, Dad?" I said.

"Yes you may, offer Billie some snacks." Dad commanded me. I nodded as we enter our house. It was lonely and silent. We dashed through the kitchen to obey Dad. I opened our small refrigerator for Billie. I grabbed a dozen of packed cream-filled bisquits and offer one to her.

"No need Friendship. I'm full." Billie stopped me.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm fine, Have you open up my present for you?" Billie smiles as she played my long wavy hair.
