A Promise

Chapter 9 Unfinished business

"So Shawn? What was that idea you had in mind?"

"You really wanna know it right now? Like so soon?", He asked concern in his eyes.

It had been one week of gran's death and Shawn was a good distraction from missing her. I felt guilty at times but it was as if her spirit was happy for me, that I moved on.

My dad though was miserable. But mum was always there to support him. Therefore dad would be fine after sometime.

Gran was something special to me and then I wondered if this position could ever be replaced. The irony was that it couldn't but it did. Shawn replaced it.

Right now I was in Shawn's arms seated on his couch nuzzling my face in his neck whilst he pecking my head and were watching Titanic!

"Just say it already"

"Okay, but we'll have to separate if you want to know"

"Wha? You gonna dance or wha?"

"Something like that", he smirked.

I shifted and he got up walked up to his desk and brought out a sheet.

"I met your friend Lola and asked what all things you checked off the list, so this is the updated version and these are the things still left...", He said handing me the paper.

# bungee jumping
# water park
# drive till Las Vegas in a limo

"So uh! What do I so with this?"

"Well I though maybe we could.... You know continue and finish what we started?", He said scratching his neck.

"I don't know what to say"

And just like that o got up from the couch and went home without saying good bye.

Although Shawn didnt miss the opportunity to point out, "I did tell you that this was too soon".

~~~~~

I entered my house to find the usual dad crying and mom trying to console him.

But today was different. Dad and mom were smiling while crying. I walked up to them and leaned in to see what they were looking and smiling at.

And to my surprise it was gran's childhood album. I instantly joined mum and dad on the couch and I saw her younger photos, she was wearing a polkadot frock but since the photos were black and white I couldn't make out the colour. She was pretty. She had curly hail and puffy cheeks. The perfect chubby baby!

Then we came across a photo of her teens. She was standing beside a horse, wearing pants and a T-shirt tucked in with a helmet. She was lean and tall. And though I couldn't make out her face, she looked ravishing.

The next photo blew my mind, gran was wearing this huge flower gown which was strapless and her cleavage was so visible. She was rather looking sexy! Maybe it was for her prom.

The photo next to that was with the same dress and a handsome guy standing beside her. He had a crew cut and muscular body. He was good looking. But I couldn't remember to have seem him so I asked, "dad who's he?"

"He's your granddad!"

"Damn! I didn't know gran was so good at choosing guys for her"

"So am I Isle, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten the carbon of it this man in the photo!", And then a laughter erupted.

To be honest, it felt nice seeing them smile. I just wanted time to stop for a while. And then be in this moment forever. But wait this wasn't my moment to be in. It was mum and dad's.

So I got up and walked to my room. Thinking about what Shawn said. Its not that I don't like him, it's just that I didn't know what to do at that particular moment. What should I have said yes? No? Go to hell?

It was gran's dreams. I didn't want to steal it from her. But I couldn't let them go unfinished too.

So I took out my phone after a million years to text Shawn.

I found a message from Lola:

Dude! You coming to homecoming or what?

I don't think so.

Why? You could even bring Shawn.

I .... Think I gotta go, I remember something important.

What can be more important?

Na just some unfinished business.

She was a royal pain in the ass. But I loved her anyway.

I texted Shawn.

Do you love me?

I love you.

Then I think I would love to finish what we started.

Then I would also love to pick you up tomorrow to start what we didn't finish.

Night! Love you ❤

Love you too. Night.
