"First kiss is usually a big deal because it is your first real physical contact with someone... There is no defined time about when you should have your first kiss... It all depends on the way you feel about a person you love to kiss."

Julia's POV

The past days have been stressful and so much has happened in two weeks.

Mum is still in the hospital getting treatment. It was like a heavy rock was thrown on me when Jonathan broke the news to us last week that she has Chronic Leukemia. I couldn't accept it, I cried so much. I wanted it to not be true, I wanted it all to be a dream I would never pray for it to happen in real life. I wanted it all to be false.

But we don't always get what we want.

It was a reality check

Everyone barely function at home. I haven't seen Dad in two weeks, though he would come home but not at a time I can see him.

Doc Larry was doing a great job though he suggested that Mum should be taken abroad for her treatment, not because of anything, he just thinks it would be a great thing to do but Dad insisted, he wouldn't agree to it. I really don't know why.

Maybe he doesn't want his wife far away but then he could go anywhere with her.

My grandparents are at home, all four of them and with them looking out for their grand kids, Aunt Stephanie doesn't have to worry.

The guys have been of great help. We all hang out more and that take our mind off Mum's health, though not completely because there is no way we can forget the situation but yeah, our friends are the best. Besides, our brothers wouldn't allow us stay alone always making sure we are in good moods.

All we can do is to stay happy and positive to get ourselves off their worry list. The company and other businesses need their attention already.

It's another Thursday and I'm at Richard's. Ever since the incident on Wednesday, we've slack behind in our work. Even today when I told him I'm coming over so we could get something done, he was against it but I insist. I get it that he cares which I am thankful for but I can't let situations drain my strength. I'm going to be strong, I've always been or maybe I was just trying to be.

Richard and I are seated at the kitchen island, doing nothing but talks because we were both blanked out on ideas when Richard's phone rang. He ignored it.

"Aren't you getting that?" I raised a brow.

He said something under his breath, I couldn't catch it.

"Uh, nah." the ringing went off.

I shrugged my shoulders and tried everything possible not to ask why. Something about his dismissal of the call makes me want to ask more.

"So I...," I was cut off again by the phone. "That call must be important." I suggest with a nod while he groaned, muttering yet another set of profanities under his breath.

He was hesitant at first before he surrendered and picked the call excusing himself.

"Be right back," he said and disappeared.

While Richard is making a call, I let my mind wonder off into the bliss of thoughts.

I thought about everyone around me and I keep wondering how lucky I'm to have them in my life.
