"Topaz aye?" She squinted her eyes stared off to the side like she was thinking. I just stood waiting stiff as a board.Soon enough the silence was broken "I remember Antoney Topaz..." she smiled her gaze focusing back on me.
"Her, G-Grandad?" I questioned still just as tense as to her opinion on everything.
"I suppose so..." The suspense was killing me. "...Lovely man." I signed, Oh thank goodness. And no mention of the serpents.
I put my hand on the back of my neck feeling the sweat. This actually meant a lot to me. "T-that's good." I replied.
"You like her?" That question shook me. Clenching my jaw I nod slightly. "That's why you had that dream again?" I closed my eyes holding my breath.
"Cheryl dear it's okay."
I opened my eyes allowing a tear to escape. Exhaling. "She is very beautiful." She gestured to the drawing. My blush showed I agreed. "Your mother won't be happy and would best for her not to know" I hung my head in shame and thought "But don't let that get in the way of living your life." With that she wheeled out leaving me alone.
12:40am
I still hadn't spoken to Toni. But what Nana said hadn't left my mind. For one I can't let my dream get in th- something interrupted my thoughts.
~Tap~ What the. ~Tap~
I carefully tiptoe over to where the noise is coming from; the window.
~Tap~
I lift the window up to find Toni standing below holding pebbles. Her eyebrows lifted almost in relief of seeing me. "Toni, W-what are you doing here?"
"I'm not really sure." She replied playing with her fingers. "Can I uhh come up?" I thought of a second. Mother and Uncle still wasn't home just me and Nana...
"Okay..." before I could figure out a way of getting her up she began to climb the vines up my house.
I take her hand helping her in. She caught her breath, I stood there awkwardly awaiting her next move. "Hey." She finally spoke looking at me, sweetly smiling.
"Hi." I replied trying to avoid her eyes. What if they do look like the dream? What if I see an emotion I don't want too?
"Are you alright? You, weren't at school." She bit the inside of her cheek.
"I'm okay." I felt myself being blunt with her without intending too.
"Have I uh done something to upset you?" She took a step closer to me. I continue to stare down. "Please tell me what's wrong so I can make it right." Toni lifted my head up by my chin.
Her eyes weren't dead, weren't angry, weren't scared. They were conserned.
"You." I gulped. " You haven't done anything wrong Toni." I stated feeling guilty.
"When what's going on I don't understand?" She tucked some strains of red hair behind my ear. Her hazel orbs staring right into mine. Like she knew it was my weakness.
"I feel like I am a burned on you making you worry all the time." I started as she straight away began to shake her head. "I have a lot of problems Toni. A lot. More then I can handle." I felt like I had cried so much recently that I had nothing left to come out.
"Then maybe you can handle it if I help to carry them." She spoke softly caressed my cheek.
"I can't let y-you do that for me." I placed my hand on top of the one on my face.
She quickly pulled me closer and whispered. "Try and stop me beautiful." I felt her smirk. My heart got faster in response as I blushed.
I closed my eyes as I felt her warm body empress mine. I smiled against her signature serpent jacket. "Thank you." Is all I could muster up in that moment, her seint filling my nostrils.
Pine and strawberries.
She pulled out of the hug and look at me once more. "You can't push me away like everyone else you know?" She wiped her thumb under my eye catching a single tear that fell.
Once I had got rid of the lump in my throat "Well I guess your not like everyone else are you Cha Cha." I smirked.
