"Where the heck did you get to?" Becca asked as I reached her standing by the door, "I got caught up in this crowd" I told her. "Right well I think your mom is here" she said yawning, "Cool lets get home" I said as we climbed into the car. "Hey girls good night?"
"Yeah it was amazing!" Becca answered almost instantly. We pulled up outside Beccas house as she thanked my mom, "bye Angel" she said climbing out of the car. "Was it that bad?" my mom asked as we drove home, "it was pretty boring and I think Becca has made me deaf" I said as she laughed. We pulled up outside our house and climbed out, "don't forget we are seeing Nan and grandad tomorrow" she said."Yeah ok then I'm going to bed see you in the morning and thanks for picking me up" I said kissing her and heading to bed.
I awoke to bright sunshine streaming through my curtains, I got up and got dressed. I quickly did my hair and headed downstairs, I boiled the kettle and overhead someone playing a guitar. It seemed to be coming from the garden, I followed the sound to the fence next door. I looked over and saw a blonde guy with the underside of his hair black. He had half of it shaved and a long floppy fringe that fell over his eye.
He had his back to me as he strummed a tune and quietly sang along. He went to turn round as I quickly ducked and tripped over a flowerpot and fell into the mud. "Ouch" I said as I heard someone chuckle, "are you ok?" the guy next door asked peering over the fence. "I'm fine thank you" I answered standing up and brushing my jeans off, "what on earth were you doing in the flower bed?" he questioned.
"Nothing I certainly wasn't listening to you, ah damn it" I said. "So you were listening" he asked raising his eyebrow and smirking. "Maybe, im Angel by the way" I said holding out my hand. "Angel? Interesting, Im Tommy" he said shaking my hand and smiling. "Whats so funny?" I asked, "you are youre so proper" he said. "Yeah well my mom brought me up well, you know youre really good" I said changing the subject.
"Thanks ive been playing since I was 11" he said, "Angelique Marie Greene you and your damn hairp.." my mom said stopping mid sentance. Tommy stifled laughter "oh sorry I ddnt know you were chatting to a very handsome young man" she said as I flushed pink and Tommy turned beetroot. "Mom" I whined as she handed me my hairpins, "we need to get going soon" she said. "Ok im just coming" I said, "well it was nice meeting you Tommy but I have to go an see my grandparents" I said.
"Thats cool maybe i'll see you around" he said, "well we live next door so im pretty sure we will see each other around" I said. "True bye then Angel" he said going back to his guitar, I hard him start playing again as I walked inside. "Well he was a bit of alright eh Angel" my mom teased, "shut up mom hes totally gay you can tell" I said. "Oh right well come on then we better get going" she replied as we headed to the car. My granparents lived about half hours drive away providing there wasnt loads of traffic.
An hour later...
Ok so there was traffic, there was a big crash on the interstate. I loved my granparents house, they lived on a big vinyard. Their massive garden was always covered in flowers and blossoms, it backed onto lush green meadows. I'll be here for a couple of weeks in a month, I alway stay with them in the holidays because mom does voluntary stuff.
Mom parked the car as my granma ran out, she was like 70 odd but she still looked amazing. "Angelique wow havent you blossomed!" she said hugging me tightly as I slid out of the car, her perfume filled my nose as I hugged her back. "Hey granma" I said as she let me go, "Layla my doll how are you" she said hugging my mom. "Hey mother im good how are you and pops?" she asked, "hes good well lets not stand here all day lets get inside!" she said as we walked up the drive.
"Is that my gergeous grandaughter?" my granddad said as I ran over to him and hugged him, "hey grandad" I said as he smiled. "hey pops" my mom said smiling at him, we all grabbed a glass of lemonade and headed into the garden. I loved it here as a kid, riding my toy horse round the garden and playing in the orchard. We stayed until late that night as we finally got in at like 9 pm, I set my alarm for 7 because I had school the next day. I put on a film and im guessing I must have fell asleep because it was light when I opened my eyes again.
