Chapter 19
Drew's POV:
It's been a little more than two weeks now. You and Kylie have become really close friends. And you two are basically inseparable. Summer break started last week. And fourth of July was just around the corner. And today was the day you would take your drivers test. Were you nervous? Hell yes.
Kylie promised to go with you, since your brothers couldn't come, because they were all busy.
"Drew McCann?"
You looked up and an old man walked towards you. "Yes, that's me." The man nodded his head. "Okay, are you ready?" You nodded your head and moisturized your lips. "Yes."
The man checked his papers, that he held in his hands. "Okay, come with me." he said, and gestured towards the car. You turned to Kylie and pulled her into a quick hug. "Good luck." she whispered, and hugged you tightly. You let go of her and smiled. "Thank you."
You followed the man, as he walked towards a car. "Here's the keys." he said, and handed you the car keys. "Thank you." You unlocked the car and got in. The man explained to you how it all would work. And when you got it, he allowed you to start driving.
After what seemed like forever, you were finally back at the driving school. You parked the car and pulled out the keys. "Soo.." you mumbled. "Did I pass?"
The man looked down at his papers. You gulped and nervously bit your lip. He checked his papers once again and turned to you. "Well.. Mr.McCann.." he started.
Fuck. Thoughts started running in your head. Didn't you make it? What part did you fail on? Did you miss anything? "Yeah?" you mumbled. "Congratulations, you passed." You looked at him, completely in shock. "Are you serious?" you outburst. The man chuckled and nodded his head. "Yes." he handed you a paper, where he had signed that you passed it. "Thank you so much!" you said, gratefully. He smiled at you.
"It was my pleasure."
You got out of the car and saw Kylie standing where you had left her. "Kylie!" you called. She looked up and smiled when she saw you. She started walking towards you, and increased her speed with every step. "Did you pass?" You nodded and smiled widely. "Really?" she outburst. Kylie started running towards you. and you started running too, to meet her halfway. When you reached her you lifted her up, and hugged her tightly. "You did it! Congratulations!" she said, smiling proudly at you. "Thanks." you said, and put her down. You still had her in your arms, and she had her arms around your neck. "I'm so proud of you." she whispered. You hugged her tightly, and kissed her cheek.
"Thank you." She giggled as your lips touched her cheek. "You know what this means?" you mumbled. Kylie shook her head. "This means I'll be your personal chauffeur this summer. I'll take you anywhere you wanna go."
She laughed and hid her face against your chest. She looked up, directly into your eyes.
"Sounds great to me."
You let go of her and you really couldn't stop smiling. You needed to celebrate this somehow, and you knew your brothers had something planned. "So are you gonna celebrate tonight or?" she asked. You shrugged your shoulders. "Yeah I think so." Kylie nodded her head. "So are you gonna get your own car?" You chuckled and shook your head. "In my dreams. We already have two, I'll never be able to afford one of my own." Kylie nodded her head again.
"I see."
You smiled a little. "But that's fine with me. I mean I can always borrow Jason's car." you said. "Do you wanna do something? Like right now? To celebrate." you asked. Kylie lit up in a smile. "Yes, how about we go grab ice cream or something?" You nodded your head and took her hand. "That sounds great."
You went to a ice cream shop, and it was a special one. This was the ice cream shop your parents took you and your brothers, to celebrate birthdays each others. So you always went there. And according to you they had the best ice cream in town. "This is a cute place." Kylie said, as you two stepped into the shop. "Drew!"
You turned around and an old man stood there, smiling at you. "You've grown!" he said. It was Mr.DiCaprio. He was the owner of the shop, and of course he remembered you. "Yeah.." you said, and chuckled lightly.
"You look very much like your brothers." he said. You nodded your head in agreement. "Yeah I know."
He smiled at you. "Who is this?" he asked, and looked at Kylie. "Are you his girlfriend?" he asked. Kylie laughed and shook her head. "No sir, I'm his friend." Mr.DiCaprio chuckled and shook his head. "Not for long." he said, and winked at you two. Kylie blushed and squeezed your hand a little. You chuckled lightly and let go of her hand. Instead you wrapped your arm around her waist, and pulled her close to you.
"So what can I get for you today? Are you celebrating anything?" You nodded your head and held up the piece of paper. "I just got my license."
He lit up in a huge smile. "That's really something to celebrate. Come with me!" he said, and walked towards the ice cream desk.
"What can I get for you?" You lead Kylie to the desk, and looked over at all the ice cream flavors. "I'll take the coconut one, with a Oreo on the top." you said. He nodded his head. "The usual one." He said, and chuckled, before he scooped up the ice cream, and put it in a glass bowl. He turned around and put two Oreos on top of it. And then he handed it to you. "Thank you." you said. "What can I get for you?" he asked, turning to Kylie. "Hm.." she mumbled, and bit her lip, trying to decide what to choose. "I'll take the raspberry sorbet please." He nodded his head and scooped up the ice cream. And then he put them in a glass bowl. He took a miniature parasol and stuck into one of the ice cream scoops. "There you go sweetheart." Kylie smiled at him. "Thank you."
You took out your wallet, and payed for the ice cream. "Drew.. I have my own money, I can pay for myself." You shook your head. "Nah, I'm a gentleman. I'll pay." you said and smiled at her. "C'mon lets take a seat." You said, walked towards a table, still with your arm wrapped around her waist. You picked a table next to the window and sat down.
Kylie sat down on the other side of the table, and took a spoon of her ice cream. "So, have your brothers planned something to celebrate this?" You shrugged your shoulders. "Probably. I'll call Derek right now. If that's okay?" She nodded her head. "Of course." You took your phone out, and dialed Derek's number. You pressed 'call' and waited for him to pick up the phone.
"Derek." he said.
You smiled a little. "Hey Derek, what's up?" You took a spoon of your ice cream and ate it quickly. "Hey Drew. Not much, how did the driving test go?" Your smile grew bigger. "I passed!" you answered, happily. "Really?!" you nodded your head, and then you remembered that he wasn't able to see you. "Yes!"
Derek laughed at the other end of the phone. "I'm so proud of you! Hey, we booked dinner for tonight, in case you would pass." he said teasingly. "And you did, so we'll keep the reservation. But you should ask Kylie to come with us." he said, and laughed lightly. You rolled your eye and moisturized your lips. "I will, I'll see you when I get home okay?" You looked at Kylie and took another spoon of your ice cream. "Yeah, sounds good. Tell her I said hi." You took another spoon and nodded your head. "I will, bye." And with that said, you ended the call.
"So?" Kylie asked. "Derek says hi." you said, smiling. "Aw, that's sweet of him." You nodded your head and kept on eating your ice cream. "Hey Kylie?" She looked up from her bowl and met your eyes. "Yes?" You smiled nervously at her. "Are you busy tonight?" She raised an eyebrow, but shook her head. "No. Why?" You sighed in relieve, thank god. "Apparently my brothers booked this fancy dinner. And I'm wondering if you would you like to come with us?" you asked. Kylie lit up in a smile and nodded her head. "Yes. I'd love to."
