Destiny (Crawford Collins)

Chapter 8

Chapter Eight 

It’s already 7:30 pm and I’m having dinner with my family.

“Can I ask you something dear? Why are you always going to the lake?” my mom asked me. “Nothing much mom. I just want to walk for a while and relax after; it really helps me clear some of my problems.” I replied. “Or maybe she just wants to hang out with that Crawford guy.” Spencer joined our conversation. “What? I don’t even like him! I just love hanging out with him and with his family.” I told him kicking his foot under the table.

“Crawford and his family? Are they the family that you’ve been talking about?” my dad asked and I just nodded. “So are they gonna go to the lake tonight?” my dad asked again. “I’m not sure. The only one that I’m seeing every night is Crawford because he said his family is always busy. Except for the past two days, her sister Karisma went to the lake too.” I answered. My mom and dad just nodded and started munching their food again.

I know they want to go to the lake and meet the Collins so I just asked them out, “Wanna come with me tonight?” I asked them oblivious. Wait, what? Did I asked them to join me?Ughh! What am I thinking? “Sure dear!” my mom said in unison. “Count me in!” my brother said with an annoying tone.

So after dinner we all went to the lake and I was shocked because the Collins was there. All of them. We went to them and they looked at us with a great big smile on their faces.

“Hi Stella! We’re so sorry that Crawford was the only one coming here and that we didn’t come here the past few days. It’s just that we’re too busy touring.” Mrs. Collins told me. “its fine, I understand and I hope your having fun here. But why is Crawford still coming here if you guys are busy roaming around?” I asked them confused.

“You see my brother Crawford gets tired easily that’s why he comes here always. If we want to roam around more and Crawford is already tired, he comes here and takes a rest for a bit. He doesn’t want to go to the hotel because he doesn’t wanna be alone.” Kirsten explained.

“Oh.” I paused and continued. “Anyways, meet my family. This is my mom, dad and Spencer, my brother. Mom, dad, Spencer they’re the Collins. There’s Mr. and Mrs. Collins, she’s Kirsten, his Christian, his Crawford and she’s Karisma.”

They greeted each other and we all sat in the green soft grass.

“So I heard that you’re all for tour? What bought you here?” my mom asked the Collins. “We heard that they’re a lot of nice place here so we all agreed to spend summer here.” Ms. Collins replied.

A lot of time passed by and we just kept sharing stories and joke together. Today was the best night of my life; I never thought this would happen.

It was nearly midnight when we’re about to leave cause we’re already feeling tired.

“It was really fun bonding with you Parker’s.” Mr. Collins said happily. “Likewise Collins’ I hope we can talk again soon.” My mom said really happy. “Oh sure we can! We can have dinner sometime?” Mrs. Collins said.

“Oh yeah! Speaking of dinner, do you guys wanna join us next week? We’re going to Collins’ Avenue to have dinner.” My mom asked them and I just stood there shocked. I can’t believe that my mom just asked the Collins out. “We’d love too! Since we still don’t have plans for next week.” Chris said excitedly.

They said yes.

I’m going to dinner with the Collins.

I can’t believe.
