Wanting You

Chapter 11

I rushed home from school to get ready for the football match. 

"Mia, Adam dropped your jersey off awhile back. It's on the sofa" Mom shouted from somewhere in the house before I could go upstairs.

Thanking my Mom I grabbed the jersey on the sofa  and ran to my room. The jersey was red with white stripes and his number 10 and name on the back. It's a little big but I had an idea as to what I will do with it.

Oh and yeah Mom knows all about Adam and me. I came home that night and went straight to Mom to tell her. I know she was excited because I could see the smile she was holding in while trying to be the strict parent. Ofcourse next came the rules and blah blah!

Beep beep my phone blinked. Smiling I took the phone. A message from Adam, ofcourse.

Adam : Hey babe I dropped the jersey off. You will wear it right?

Why is he doubting so much. I am his girlfriend after all.

Me: Adam stop worrying I will wear it and be at the game. So see you in a few hours

Adam: Thanks babe. Can't wait to see you 😊

He's such a romantic but acting all macho and tough.

I just need to finish up some homework and then I have to get ready for the game. Rina will come to pick me up, since my place is close to the school than hers.

After endless hours of homework after homework I was finally done and am like starving!

"Mom!" I screamed "I am so hungry. What's to eat?"

"You are such a baby. Come down here and check for yourself!" Mom screamed back. Huh? I am the screaming baby? Right. Like mother like daughter.

When I went bounding down the stairs into the kitchen, Mom was making my favourite. I had the biggest of smiles and started poking my head around her shoulder.

"OMG Mom. You are the greatest. Is it done yet? Can I have some please please please please" I started begging.

"Give me a minute it's about done" She said giggling

So, I went and sat at the table and waited till Mom brought a huge bowl of .....Pasta! I love pasta so much and my Mom makes this yummy tomato sauce that goes with it, from scratch. I started digging in and I thought I heard my Mom say to eat slowly or you will choke.

I was almost done when I heard Rina screaming "Mia. You better not be at the dining table filling up your face". 

I heard the voice come closer and getting louder. I was alarmed and looked at the clock "oh shit" It's ten minutes to the game! I am so screwed. I quickly got up and rushed to my room to get ready.

"I can hear you running Mia" I heard Rina coming up to my room. Sigh so much for running after all that food, I now have a stitch.

Rina finally reached my room and she did not look happy because I was not dressed yet.

 "Oh there you are Rina. I was just getting ready. I was so caught up in my homework I lost track of time" I said innocently, quickly pulling on the jersey and denim shorts.

"Good one Mia. I was just wondering what that red colour thing is around your mouth" She came closer and sniffed my face. What the...! Is she a dog or something?

"Ha! I knew it. You have been stuffing your face with pasta and don't you deny it. You smell like sauce too" She accused pointing a finger at me.

 "I just love it so much and Mom hardly ever makes it anymore" I looked at her sheepishly.
