Since the incident, Drew avoided me like a plague for a whole week.
I sent him various texts but he never replied. I tried talking to him at school but as soon as he sights me, he turns the other way.
I was starting to miss him.
I thought about him as I watched TV. I was having a typical lazy Saturday.
I was watching movies in the cinema room.
''More wine, miss Bella?'' the butler asked.
''Sure''
He left to get my order. A few minutes later, he came back with it.
I was really getting into the movie till I heard someone knock.
''What?''
Someone came in.
''Hey''
I squealed and ran to hug him. He carried me and spun me round.
It was my favorite cousin; Charlie.
''Miss me?'' He teased, still carrying me.
I nodded eagerly. I really did.
''Very''
He took us to the chairs and sat us down.
"Damn, you've gotten fat" he groaned "My arms hurt"
I hit his arm playfully.
''When did you get back?'' I asked excitedly.
''A few days ago. I'll leave on Tuesday''
''Aww. Why so soon?''
"I came down here to get materials for a school project. I have to go back as soon as I can. Just thought I'd spend the remaining days with you''
''How sweet of you''
I laid my head on his shoulder as he stroked my hair. We watched the film in silence for a while.
''How are you preparing for Monday?" He asked.
I scrunched my face in confusion,
"What's happening on Monday?''
He laughed.
" Being single has its side effects"
"Meaning?"
"Monday is Valentine's day''
I face palmed myself. How could I have forgotten?
''Oh''
''Where is everyone by the way? It seems so quiet''
''They all went out. I'm home alone''
''Let's go for a walk then''
''Sure''
In a few minutes, we left the house and took a walk down the street.
''How's your girlfriend?'' I asked as we walked down the street.
''She's good. She said I should say hi to you''
''Aww''
We talked about random things as we walked. He told me all about what's been going on in college. He's a final year mechanical engineering student.
At a point, I noticed the street we were in is where Leslie and Eric live
''GET OUT OF MY HOUSE'' I heard someone scream.
We turned right to see what the noise was all about.
Eric was pushing Leslie out with her stuff. She was crying hysterically.
