Chapter nineteen

''Where are we going?'' I ask Cameron in the car.

''Get my little brother, my mother couldn't get him because she's working late.'' He says. 

I nod, ''What about your father?''

I see a light change in his mood before he shakes his head, ''Working as well.''

I place myself in the seat so I can lay the side of my head on it and look at him, ''What are we doing tonight?''

''You want to do something with me?'' He asks in mock disbelief. ''I thought I was no fun.''

''Look it's Thursday, we don't have school tomorrow, let's have a party.'' I squeal excitedly.

''Do I look like the kind of guy who likes to throw a party like that? And my brother doesn't have anyone to play the nanny with.'' 

''Yes, you do look like that kind of guy.'' I retort teasingly.

''Anyway, my brother wanted to watch movies with me tonight since no one is home.'' Something in me stirs, a feeling of longing taking over. I used to have someone do the same. ''Why don't you come?''

I almost jump in surprise, ''Are you sure? It's your night with your brother.'' 

''He'll be happy to see you, he really liked you last night.'' He chuckles at that.

''Well, I don't mind if he doesn't.'' I shrug.

He pulls the car over in front of a primary school. We both get out of the car and he takes my hand to pull me toward the front doors. I've never been here before and I'm quite envious. The school is bigger than the one I used to go to and the halls are decorated nicely. I realize that everyone is dressed the same way, which means it's a private school.

''That's a rich kid's school.'' I can't help but say.

He nods when we enter a big room with lots of children playing, drawing, and laughing with each other. I spot Dimitry just as he seems to see us and he runs toward us. Well, more Cameron which he jumps in his arms.

''Hey little buddy, you remember Alexa?'' Cameron says looking up at me.

''It was last night Ronny, I do remember her.'' He rolls his eyes with attitude and I hold back a laugh.

''Sometimes you don't even remember what you ate in the morning,'' Cameron replies with a giant grin.

''I do remember beautiful girls.'' He whispers in Cameron's ear and I fake not hearing it.

''That's good news because I was wondering how you'd feel about inviting her to our movie night.'' 

''That'd be awesome!'' He cries out just as he sees a woman he knows looking over the kids and runs to her.

''Nina! Hey Nina! Look it's her! It's Cameron's girlfriend.'' 

''Err...'' I manage to say as Cameron gets up and shakes his head.

''Ah, he didn't. Did he?''

''I never would've believed it!'' The woman says as she gets closer. ''Hi, I'm Nina.'' She says offering her hand out to me and I take it before she turns to Cameron. ''How are you going my beautiful boy?'' She cries out pulling him into a bear hug. ''It's been so long, I missed you!''

''Yeah, I missed you too.'' Cameron laughs awkwardly before pulling away, ''This is Alexa by the way.'' 

''Of course, I know her name, Dim told me everything about her.''

''Everything?'' Cameron repeats, his eyebrows raised towards his younger brother.

''I'll go get my coat,'' Dimitry replies quickly before flying away.
