She's Back (on hold)

Chapter 20

We finally arrived in Alvoro. A city where everything looked fresh and green. I could already tell that it had a healthy and friendly environment. We were out of the train station (thankfully), and was now hailing a cab. Apparently Chad already decided what apartment we were staying at so I had no choice but to do nothing. I checked my watch and saw that it was already three o clock in the afternoon. As soon as we dropped down our bags in our peach colored rented room everything was set. We explored it a bit and found it a bit luxurious and elegant. There were black couches that sorrounded the flat screen t v and the bathroom had one bath tub and one shower and of course one toilet. However it had only one big bed that was in the center of one big room. In the corners of the big room were closest and such.

"I hope you don't mind sharing a bed," Chad muttered. I blushed at the thought.

"O-of course! B-but I-if you try anything funny...t-trust me I won't hesitate to p-punch you!" I stuttered. Suddenly Chad wrapped his arms around my waist and nuzzled his head in my right shoulders.

"Don't worry I won't," he assured me.

"Um, it's not that I don't want you to...I'm just not ready...um yet," it didn't take a genius to make Chad realize what I was saying and I swear someones going to have to add another color named after my very dark red blush. Why was I talking about this again?! 

"Oh um of course! Of course! I get it..." he said as he akwardly released his arms around me. Was he getting what I was saying or did he thought that I felt uneasy everytime he touches me. I groaned mentally. I thanked myself for making things a lot more awkward than the baby talk we had in the train.

"Um I want you to touch me but not...um..." at this time I should be able to fry eggs in my cheeks. Gosh, what the hell was I going to say?! "oh you know what I mean!" I said as I stomped my foot in frustration due to my lack of explaining. Suddenly Chad chuckled and wrapped his arms around me again.

"Don't worry, Brit! I understand, geez calm down. You know I love your right?" and with that Chad suddenly attacked me with a kiss until we had to pull away for oxygen. Unfortunately my stomach chose to growl at this time and believe me it was loud and embarassing."Let's go to the mall shall we?" Chad suggested. I nodded and grabbed my bag.

Which should I choose? The touch screen Nokia or the Blackberry? I looked towards Chad who already bought himself and Iphone4 an hour ago.

"Still haven't decided yet?" Chad asked peering through all the phones that were inside the glass cases. I could tell that the sales lady that was attending to us was already getting impatient. I shook my head to Chad and smiled apologetically at the sales lady who already gave an exasperated sigh.

"Which do you think is better? This or this?" I asked Chad while pointing at the two phones who seemed to catch my eye.

Chad sighed."If you can't decide then we can buy both you know," Chad offered.

"No no, it's okay. I only need one," I said.

"Or you could just buy an Iphone like me," Chad muttered.

I ignored his comment and stared hard at the two phones. What to choose? I sighed and picked the Blackberry since I missed touching buttons. Yeah I know, it's a weird reason. The sales lady flashed a smile as she gave me the shopping bag that contained my Blackberry. The smile probably meant that she was happy to get rid of me. 

"Should we eat?" I asked Chad as he was busy with his Iphone4.

"Yeah sure where would you like to eat?" he asked.

"I don't know maybe in...oh that!" I pointed excitedly like a kid as I directed my finger at a McDonald. Chad jumped lightly by surprise as he saw where I was poiting at.

"McDonalds?" he asked incredulously.

"Yeah. I swear I could hear their ice cream calling me," I said asI walked ahead of Chad and towards the McDonalds that somehow seemed always crowded whenever I go in. 

"Are you sure about this?" he gulped.

"Yeah, what do you want to order?" I asked.

"Umm I'll order the same thing you order," he said uneasily. Then I realized something.

"Oh yeah! It's your fist time here, right?" I teased.

"You order while I get both of us a seat," Chad said while handing me his credit card. I sighed sadly as he brushed off my teasing. Geez. I knew it would be a long wait and I had nothing to do. Instead I silently admired the engagement ring Chad had given to me. Everytime I saw this I felt greatly overjoyed. We still didn't know when we were going to marry each other but we both decided to have a silent wedding. For now it just seemed right to have a silent wedding where only the two of us would hear the sincerity of our vows made for each other. And-

"The feeling is nice isn't it?" a female voice suddenly asked behind me. I turned around to find myself looking at a woman who looked like in her early twenties with a bright smile that matched her lively green eyes.

"What's a nice feeling?" I asked dumbstruck by what she said.

"I'm guessing you're engaged right?" the girl asked eyeing my pretty ring.

"Yeah, I am," I smiled politley.

"It's a nice feeling to know that someone you love propose to you right? Oh I'm sorry I forgot to mention my name, it's Rachel Ferris," Rachel said as she extended a hand. I shook it gladly.

"I'm Britney Deenfort. And yeah it's a nice feeling I guess," I smiled.

"I hope you aren't marrying that soon, you seem to young to be married. How old are you?" she asked.

"Um still seventeen," I admit.

"Seventeen?! Well that's a way too young," she commented.

"Yeah, but hey what can you do with love?" I muttered lamely.

"Yeah I guess so. The same goes for me and my husband," she said.

"What age did you get married?" I asked.

"I got married in when I was twenty we we had a child when I was 23 and now we'd been a married couple for five years," she explained.

"Ah that must be nice," I said. It was fun talking to Rachel but I knew I had to take my order fast since  Chad also had to be super hungry. As soon as I paid for the food I bid Rachel goodbye and told her that I was going to eat with my finacee. 

"Who was that woman you were talking to?" Chad asked, as I set the tray that had our food in it down.

"Oh um she caught me staring at my engagement ring and asked some things. Her name is Rachel," I explained.

"Ah, was she jealous of your priceless and beautiful ring?" Chad exaggerated.

"No, course not, she was just making small talk you know," I said.

"Ah. So what did you get me?" Chad asked changing the subject.

"Um, I hope you like it. It's ice cream frenc fries and a veggie burger," I said while pointing at each one.

"Oh this seems appetizing," he said.

"It's delicious," I said.

 We were heading back home after we bought all the necessary things we had to buy from the mall. As I searched for the key to our door I heard someone walking.

"Britney?"

I turned around and jumped in surprise which caused me to drop my keys but my eyes landed on the person that said my name.
