Julie's POV:
There were still couple weeks left where we go to India, so I wanted to ask Jay if we could go together rather than take separate flights over there. I was currently in my office putting together a document that was supposed to be turned in by the end of the week. I was almost halfway done, but then again, today was Wednesday.
Before I know it, there was a knock on my door. I looked up from my report to see Jay standing there. Today he was wearing a royal blue formal shirt with a black slacks and a black tie to match everything.
I motioned my hand so he can come in and take a seat in my cabin. I asked him, " what's up? Did you need anything?"
He replied back, "Not really... How is the presentation coming along? Isn't it due at the end of the week?"
I answered him, "Yeah it is, but I am halfway done with it."
He smiled and answered, "Nice. Did you finish packing up your clothes and stuff for the trip?"
"Mostly done. Just like toothbrush and stuff that I can either buy there or pack on that day. How about you?" answered his question.
He looked shyly and answered, "Didn't even start yet."
I gasped, "WHAT?"
He replied back, "What? I have been busy," shrugged his shoulders.
Out of kindness, I asked, "Do you need any help?"
He smiled brightly, "That would be awesome. You can come by tonight and we can start or you can come by on the weekend."
I replied back, "Alright. I'll come on Saturday and by then I'll have this presentation finished."
Smiling brightly, "Sweet! But I'll come pick you up on Saturday, so you don't have to drive."
I nodded my head in affirmation.
He acknowledged and then turned and left my office.
** On Saturday Morning **
I finally finished the presentation yesterday morning and finished revising it yesterday afternoon. Now I am finally free for the weekend!
I remember that I have to go over to Jayden's house to help him pack for the trip, which i am really excited to go.
I woke up around 9 this morning and went for a ride on my bike because the weather was nice outside. When I came back, I took a shower and ate cereal for breakfast. By 10:30, I was done with everything and was just waiting for Jayden to come pick me up.
I lounged around on the sofa as both my parents are out for the weekend to go to my aunt's place. I was looking at the morning cartoons when I heard my phone beep.
I checked it out to see when Jayden would pick my up.
Jayden - Hey! Sorry I am going to be a little late. I have to take care of something before I can come pick you up.
I guess I'll be waiting for a while before helping him pack.
Julie - Sure. No problem. Just ring the bell when you get here.
In the meantime, I finished packing everything and made sure to put anything that I would need over there. I double and triple checked the suitcases.
As i was about to come downstairs, the bell rang. I didn't even realize it's been 2 hours since Jayden texted me.
I checked the peephole first because you never know who is on the other end of the door. When I see that it was Jayden, I opened the door and let him inside.
I answered the door to see him, "Hey!"
He looked very tired with somewhat wrinkled clothes, and dark circles under his eyes.
I asked him, "Is everything ok? You look stressed out."
He replied back, "yeah it's fine. Just had to deal with my mom before I came here."
I curiously asked him, "you and your mom don't get along well?"
He looked sad for a moment before responding, "I guess not. We always had this feud between us but she isn't very understanding."
I nodded my head agreeing with him, even though I have never met his mom before.I asked him, "Did something happen recently or in the past?"
He shrugged and said, "She is always too quick to judge people and most of the time she makes the wrong judgement. She always pushed people away from me especially people I like. Even when I was younger, she pushed me away from my best friend which really crushed me. But it's the fact that she doesn't understand what she is doing to me."
I felt sorry for him as he couldn't say no to his mom but he still had to deal with her. I didn't know what to respond, "Ohh... maybe both of you should sit down and talk in a calm manner to resolve this."
He replied, "that will never work. She hates when she is told that she is incorrect or if she has to listen to what other people say for her to do. But enough about me, ready to go and get packing?"
I replied back, "yeah, I'm ready to go if you are."
He smiled and got up from the sofa. I grabbed my keys to lock the door behind us and my purse. He held the door open for me and led my out. I locked the door and climbed into his car.
Once both of us were settled, he took of to his house. The car ride was silent, but it wasn't awkward with some soft music playing in the background.
Once we were at his house, he held the door open for me. Once he got in behind me, he closed the front door. The light automatically came on surprising me.
He held his hand up and said, "welcome to my humble abode."
Hey Guys!!!
Sorry it took me so long to upload a new part and even then this chapter is probably so crappy, so please no hate!!!
A big congratulations to the story as there are more than 100,000 people who have read it. I am so proud of all of the readers who put up with my lag in writing, much considerate comments and who really put up with my grammar mistakes!!
I have this huge exam coming up to take (MCAT - medical college admissions test) this June!
For those of you that don't know what the MCAT is, it is a 8 hour exam that a student has to take in order to qualify for medical school. You need to take it and get a certain score for colleges to accept you, so I have been working my butt off for that exam thus not having time to write!
Also, just an opinion that i need your guys help on. There is this really cute boy in my class that sits right next to me, and I want to know if it would be awkward if i ask him for his number?!?!?!?!?
Please help... and if you don't want, that totally fine as well!!!
But please READ... VOTE... SHARE... my story!!!
Thank you all for the consideration of my lag in writing!!!!
