"Very good Linda, now play the notes just like I taught you and you'd be a tough cookie to crack during your talent show" She smiled from ear to ear as I complimented her. She was good, really good. She could give max a run for his money and believe me when i say max was a guru when it came to music..Oh, how much I missed that kid. I Just saw him yesterday but it felt like forever since I last saw him.. His smile and laughter was something I looked forward to seeing everyday and I was also starting to feel the same way about Linda. She's growing on me..
"Wow you really think so?" She asked with a bit of uncertainty. I reassured her with a smile "Of course darling, you are very good with the guitar and your voice, hmmm don't even get me started on that"
She smiled and gave me a big hug. "Do you think max would like it?" She asked while blushing. Ever since she and max went on a play date I organized with Harry's permission of course, both of them wouldn't stop talking about one another to me, even though she was turning sixteen, I couldn't help but wonder if she had a crush on max. It was also great to see them bond over music.
Clearing my throat I teased her, come on I had to. I couldn't help myself " Lindy... Do you like max?, you can tell me you know" I asked her while trying to keep a straight face the whole time
"What? Of course not. I don't okay ..His way younger than me. I'm turning 16 in a few months time. I think I need a juice box from the fridge, do you want anything?" She said
"Your cute" I said while trying to reign in on my laughter.. She ran out of the room as my phone rang.
"Hey you..I miss you" I felt butterflies in my stomach. Harry would do that to you.
"I just left your place not quite long ago harry." I told him while trying to control the blush that creeps in on my face whenever we talk.
"I know but I still miss you a lot.." He was silent for a minute before I finally told him I missed him too
"Lol.. I miss you too" I said.
"I called to know if you needed a ride home after your done with Linda" he asked and waited for my reply.
"Ya thanks .. I'll be done soon but..." I was interrupted by Linda clearing her throat as she walked into the room with two juice boxes in her hand.
"Is that your boyfriend?." She was teasing me back. I guess this was payback but unlike my little Linda, I had nothing to hide.
"Yes Lindya, I'm on the phone with my boyfriend." Immediately i said that, she walked up to me and collected the phone from my hand..
"Hi Bridget's boyfriend" She was speaking with harry now but I couldn't hear anything because she spoke in a hushed tone. All I know was that she was laughing and twirling her hair around her pinkie. After a few minutes, she ended the call and returned the phone to me.
"I wasn't done talking little girl" I said, as I hurriedly collected my phone before she could pull another stunt.
"He said to tell you that he would be here by 5 sharp" We continued her coaching in other not to waste more time. We were done learning when I remembered I had something for her, a surprise package. I had wanted to give it to her on previous occasions but I thought, why not surprise her with it now as a way of rewarding her for doing such a great job so far. She was so excited to receive the guitar I bought a while back with Harry, I was happy she was happy. After biding farewell to her mother, she escorted me to the car where harry was waiting and then, she shocked me with her question
"Bridget, Bridget's boyfriend, I want to ask a favour from the both of you" Harry was the first to speak up.
"I have a name Linda, but go ahead" I nodded for her to continue.
