DREAM KINGS (Shawn Mendes x Harry Styles)

C h a p t e r [117]

Aunt Mary woke up and immediately pull herself up and sit, "Wait.. wait a minute.. isn't that—" she looks around her and saw us watching, "Oh my god! You guys scared me! What're you doing standing beside the couch?!" She asks like a grandmother, angered from getting a little jumpy from what she saw.

"We were watching TV! Look! LOOK!" Mom said.

"I see it Jan, I see it! Isn't that.. isn't that the guy who lived here?!"

"Yes! YES! THAT'S HIM!" She claps her hands happily like a proud mother, then she turns her head to me with her smile still pasted, "So this is what your dad is telling me! About that good news!"

I didn't speak and she noticed how sad I am. She puts her hand on my shoulder and rubbed it, "Oh honey.. I know you're still sad but.. let's just be happy for him."

Mom only knows I'm in love with him, he doesn't know that the both of us are in a relationship with each other when he left.

"What? What do you mean sad? I'm not sad." I said with a little laugh, "Why would I be sad?"

Tippy, Sam, Mom, Aunt Mary, the four of them looked at me as if they know I was lying.

I raised a brow at them, "What?"

"Shawn Mendes, the son of Rico, the richest man in the country, has finally showed himself in the public!" The news reporter said, "Look at all these girls, the boys, paparazzis and cameras!"

He just waves and smiles like a prince until he went inside the car and that was the end of the report. I turn around and went to the kitchen.

I pulled out the donuts Tippy and Sam brought, out from the fridge and started eating.

"Hey girl.." Tippy speaks in a sad tone, "Are you okay..?"

I look at her with my brows meeting on the middle of my forehead, "Huh? Of course I'm okay. What made you think I'm not?"

She shakes her head, "You know what I'm talking about May.."

"Well, if you do.. please know that I'm.. okay."

Tippy nods, "I hope you really are." She walks beside me and grabbed a piece of donut, "Putting all your sadness to food again..?"

"Tips.."

"Yo, you guys want some coffee?" Sam asks, standing at the coffee machine said.

"Yeah." Tippy said.

"Me too." I said chewing the bread carefully in my mouth.

The quietness is making the atmosphere a little off. Tippy knows that after what I saw and heard at the cinema, and after what we watched on TV just minutes ago; made me incredibly sad. She knows all of what I'm doing now is just a cover. Hide my true emotions all inside my tiny body.

Sam gives me the cup of coffee, then went back to fetch the other cup for Tippy. They joined me eating, seriously not knowing what to talk about, Tippy just randomly spoke, giving me some words of encouragement.

"Hey! If you're feeling sad from what happened today, which obviously you are, just keep in mind that we are here to talk."

"I'm not sad!" I said more in an assuring tone, "I'm fine with what happened today. It was fun going to the movies with you guys and eating at a restaurant. Everything is cool. No need to worry."
