Micah Grace

Tenth ♥

I rode a cab to home. When we rounded up in front of my sister's house, I saw her standing by the gate in her night gown, crossing her arms. By the time I came out of the cab, she walked towards me.

"Can you tell me what time is it?" she said, keeping a serious tone."And by any chance, why did you come home just now?"

"It's only, like, nine forty-five," I said. "The deal was ten."

"Yeah, but I told him, you'd be back by nine thirty." she insists. "It's not nice to keep your "Romeo" waiting, you know."

"Huh?" I said, raising an eyebrow at her.

"Migel. I told Migel you'd be back by nine thirty ." she said, dropping her arms to her sides.

"Why on earth did you do that?" this time, I'm the one crossing my arms.

"I dunno," she said then rolled her eyes. "I thought."

"Wow."

"But you know, he came back and didwait... a while. Then just gave up, I guess." she said, honestly speaking.

"You made him do that. Your fault. Not mine." I said walking past her and into the house.

"I still think he likes you, though!" she calls to me.

"Whatever. I need rest. I'm exhausted." I quickly said, not even bothering to look at her.

"Why? All you did at Kat&Star's was watch, right?"

"Yeah. But I mean mentally and emotionally." then I went straight up the stairs.

I just took a half bath and immediately went to bed. Truly,this day needs a lot of explanation. I wonder what tomorrow brings.

*bzzzzzt!

"Grrrrrhh..."

....

"Mmm.."

*bzzzt

"Urghh! What?!" I said groggily as I reached for my phone.

"1 missedcall" it read. Unknown number? The stalkers better not be at it again! I put down my phone and went back to sleep, with my head faced down on my pillow.

A few more rings came but I ignored it. No stalker is going to wreck my (unneeded) beauty rest. So obviously, it was sent to voicemail.

"Uh.. Good morning Micah Grace!" I raised my head from my pillow, wide eyed. "If you're wondering why I'm calling you in such an early time, is that... uhh.. In other words..Can we meet later at the park. Lunch time? Ehh...it's ok if you don't want. I just need to tell you something.. before everything's too late... Ohh-kay. bye!"

*beep

Man, that last part's so childish. But wait, he wants us to meet later at the park! What was that thing he has to tell me? Why didn't he just tell me on the voicemail a few seconds ago. Psh.

So should I come? A part of me wants to but the other doesn't want to. What should I do? Call him, maybe?

I sat up, dialed the unknown number and just waited.

"Hi." Oh. He must know it's me.

"Why do you want meet up?" I said

"'Cause I was planning to ask you something."

"Can't you ask me now?" I said raising an eyebrow, although I know he can't see me. :D

"Uh.. no."

"Why not?" I said while rubbing my eyes.

"Just."

"Oh, fine then! But I'm not going to spend 20 just for that question of yours!" I demand. "I need every single coin for my trip to-" I stopped myself, even if I know he knows already. He doesn't need any clarifications. "Nevermind."

"To Rome. Yeah. Well my question actually has something to do about that." he says in a clear tone.

"Just ask me here, please. You understand my situation, right?" I pleaded.

"I... uh... Fine." SCORE!

"Okay. What?"

"I was just wondering if I could....uhh...come..with you?" by the way he said it, I can tell he was holding his breath.

"Ahahaha. No, really, what?" of course I don't want to believe that he really wants to come with me.

"Yeah. That's it!"

"Are you sure? Why?" I asked feeling a bit awkward.

"Why.. Uhh....You see I... Ehh. Oh! I've this little task to go get some wildlife animal photos from Rome! Yeah. I was thinking maybe I could tag along, you know." he reasons.

"I see. I never knew you could ever sound like a girl." I said, laughing a bit.

"What?" he says with this confused tone.

"Really! Man, you sound like a little girl."

"..Come on!" he grunts.

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry. But, I still have to think about you joining me, though." I said, a little more serious now.

"Please!" he said still all the more like a little girl. "I'd just join you in the flight!" he explains.

"But I thought you hated the wildlife, hm?"

"That was six years ago!" he insists practically yelling a little.

"Oh whatever. Promise just the flight?"

"Promise."

"The inner Michel is arising Migel! Be careful!" I tease.

"Can you stop it!"

"Sorry."

"So what do you say?"

"Uhh..."

"Well?" he said holding his breath.

"...Deal."

"Okay bye." *beep

I sighed. "Glad that's over.." I mumble to myself. But wait a minute! What have I done? I know Migel is not really that promising as he may sound like, at all! I just let him join me! And I know he won't stop even if the flight is over! Oh, no. What have I done!?
