Wanting You

Chapter 8

Lying on my bed I was thinking whether to call Rina or not. 

Right on cue my phone rang. Look at that, it's Rina. Maybe I should just let it ring. I want to relax before diving into nonstop chatter. But if I don't, Rina will definitely make sure I do not relax for the rest of my life. Oh for Gods sake she won't stop until I pick up!  So I finally pressed the button. 

"Hel...."

"YOU! TELL ME EVERYTHING! YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SLEEP TILL YOU TELL ME EVERY TINY DETAIL!" Rina screamed into the phone.

My ears were saved cause I had put it on speaker. Thank God. 

"My goodness Rina. Children are trying to sleep, lower you voice will you?" I whisper yelled at her. There's always a chance that my Mom or Dad will hear the shouting, even though their room is downstairs.

"What children? It's just you and anyways carry on I am listening. I have popcorn ready too'"

Seriously? Popcorn? I heard a crunching noise that resembled eating popcorn. Unbelievable!

"What? It's a juicy story I am going to hear so I might as well get ready with popcorn plus it's raining I can't actually run to your house at midnight"

Oh she heard it.

"Damn right gal I heard it" 

Damn I said it loud again. I should be more careful. Errr did I say that aloud again?

"So carry on." Rina sounded impatient.

Right I didnt.

"Okay Okay calm down" I sighed in relief.

We were both up for atleast an hour before Rina was happy with all the details. I am exhausted. She kept on dancing and singing in between which delayed it. Only Rina I tell you, have parties all by herself.

 I need to sleep. Tomorrow is going to be a long day. I was just about to close my eyes when my phone made a beep beep sound. Now who would message at this hour? It is almost two in the morning.

The message read:

"Sweet Dreams babe" 

A giggle escaped from my mouth. My grin getting bigger and bigger as I typed a reply "Back at you babe"

That's how I slept like a baby with a smile on my face, thinking maybe just maybe I am finally moving on.

TTTTTTTTTTTTRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRINGGGGGGGGGGGG TTTTRRRRIIINNNNNGGGGG

What is that noise. I need sleep. Just shut that sound. I groaned and forced my eyes to open. I dragged my hand to slam on the clock.

Aaahhh peace and sleep was taking over once again.

"Wake up bitch. We need to get to school. I am so EXCITED!" Rina screamed.

Wait Rina? My eyes popped open and saw Rina at the foot of my bed getting ready to drag me out of bed.

"Okay Okay am up!Am up. Just stop the screaming will you. Gosh" I rubbed my eyes and started getting off the bed.

"Cool get ready and come down. Your Mom's making nutella pancakes. Yummm I might just finish all of it!" laughing like a crazy person she went down.

Oh no she can't. It's my favourite. I rushed into the bathroom and did my business and quickly grabbed my uniform. It's just a plaid skirt in red and black and a white shirt. I then put on socks and boots before tying my hair into a pony tail and went running crazily into the kitchen.

Ha just in time to see Mom putting a new batch of pancakes on the table. I am so going to eat all of it.

"Honey you are going to be late for school" Mom said as soon as she saw me skid to a halt near the table.

I looked at the clock. Damn. Just ten minutes left. I can totally do this I thought to myself. I quickly sat down and stuffed pancakes in my mouth while taking a few minutes to savour the taste. MMMMhhmm yummy. Heaven.

"Hey gal hurry up will you. I don't want to be late ...again" Rina's voice brought me back to earth. Before I could shush Rina up, my Mom perked up.

"What did u say Rina?" My Mom asked raising her eyebrows. "Did u say late again? When were you girls late?" She was pointedly looking at me now. oh oh!

I quickly got up and dashed towards the door, grabbing my bag, which was packed last night (sometime in my daze) and called out to Mom.

"Mom we are going to be late. See you later. Loved the pancakes and love you!"

Rina ran right behind me.

"I am so sorry I didn't know what I was saying since I am drunk from your Moms lovely pancakes" Rina looked apologetic.

"Since when do people get drunk on those anyways?" We have finally slowed down when we lost site of our house.

We were practically at the school gate when I heard someone calling my name. I was looking all around me when I caught a familiar smirking face.

"Hey Girlfriend, in a rush are we?" I felt my face transform into a crazy person, with a huge smile and giggles coming out. 

Rina was looking at the both of us. 

"What have you done to my best friend Adam" She shouted with a slap on his shoulder. Ouch.

Just then the late bell rang. I forgot just for a second, all about my new found feelings, cause dang it, we are late. Again!

We made a dash again towards the gate. Once again I found myself smiling away to the point of hurting my face. Looking back and giving a final smile to Adam I thought of last night and the way I panicked when he asked me to be his girlfriend. 

I was having a mini heart attack. All I was thinking was this is going too fast and I can't do this. Also I remembered telling Rina I will give it a shot. I was in a struggle with my inner self when I heard Adam speak up.

"You don't need to say anything right now Mia, give it sometime for you to think it over. I am okay with it. I will be here anyways. I am not going anywhere." Adam had told me softly, taking my hand in his once again.

Those were the magic words I needed to hear. I looked into Adam's warm hazel eyes. They were more green tonight I noticed and his smirk was replaced by a  serious look that doesn't show his dimple anymore. His hair is brown but I think there is more red in it and was coiffed. He looked handsome. Something I haven't noticed before. How far gone was I? Rina must have been desperate to plead me into giving Adam a try. With a deep sigh I decided.

"Yes. If you will be my boyfriend" I heard myself blurt out in a rush.
