Surprise...

Surprise..

      *******          

George picked me up after school; seeing as he dropped me off as well. I waved at my friends before going over to our car.   "There's a surprise for waiting for you" George commented happily after opening the door for me.

"oh yeah? what is it ?" I asked intrigued. 

'Oh just a little something" he teased. 

"yeah something like..?" I quizzed with raised eyebrows.

"You'll find out soon enough" he said.I groaned loudly, George is good at keeping secrets you can never crack him.

He laughed "you're so impatient you'll see when we get home".

I glared at him."why did you bring it up if your not gonna tell me" I whined. He looked at me with a smirk on his face "well it wouldn't be a surprise if i told you know would it ?''.

Knowing arguing with him was a lost course I changed the subject and talked about my uneventful day - apart from Dimitry. At just the thought of him-his familiar sliver blue eyes crossed my mind.I blushed slightly remembering the way those eyes had gazed at me.

The rest of they Journey home was spent in a comfortable silence.My mind still pondering on what this surprise would be.

*****

I jumped out the car impatient to see my gift, Iheard George's booming laughter following behind me. I stopped short at the doorway. Not knowing where to find the surprise.

"George!"I called out.

"In the living room" he called back,I could hear the laughter in his voice at my eagerness.

I stepping into  the living room looking around for a small packaged instead I came face to face with my mum. I gasped surprised "Mum! what are you doing here? I thought you were going on a business strip?" well this definitely was a surprise.

"Well I was, but I felt bad for leaving you so often and we haven't spent much time together these past few months, plus I don't want us to drift apart" she said moving in for a hug.

"What about your business,I thought it was important" I asked hugging her back.  "It is important but as important as spending time with you, that's why I asked Mark to go and check things out for me, so am l forgiven?".

"Definitely!" I laughed quizzing her. Mark is her loyal and trusty worthy partner in a few her businesses. she laughed "alright you can let go of me now, how about we catch up over lemonade by the swimming pool ? The weather looks nice outside.'' mum insisted.

"Sure, I'll just go and change into my swimwear " I  chirped,already heading for the door.

After changing into my pink Ruffled Halter Tankini, I went to meet mum in our out door swimming pool.She was wearing her Camille Navy Halter Bikini, a pair of designer sun glasses with a glass of lemonade in her hand.She was right about the weather; it was hot but not to hot with the sun casting down golden beams that danced on the surface of the clear blue water.

"So" my mum turned to me with a sly smirk, " has my daughter finally found a  boyfriend yet ?" she teased.

I groaned inwardly, why is everyone so interested in my love life -not that I have one- but still... "Nope your lovely daughter is still a single pringle" I said seeping on my lemonade. My mum looked at me her expression suddenly serious.

"Rissa did a guy hurt you before? Is that why you don't want to date" she asked. What!? Where did she get that idea from?

l laughed "Of course not mum, what makes you think that?"

"Well your not in the slightest bit interested in guys" she said. \

That's not true anymore  sang a voice in my head as Dimitry's face popped up in my mind.

"Thats because I haven't found a guy whom i'm really interested in" I answered.

liar

Whatever, Dimitry's not interested he's into Briana like the rest of the male population in our school I thought with an unfamilar pang in my heart.

We spent the rest of the afternoon just catching up and swimming.It was the best time i'd spent with my mum for ages.
