Gradually Falling

Party

" I thought you're leaving" Drew said when he saw me sitting in the couch making myself comfortable.

"Dad has an emergency" I replied in monotone. Dad often has a night shift at his work. He is a doctor. Because of the emergencies sometimes he only join us on dinner trice a week. If dad has a night shift or a emergency at the hospital; he left us with our Aunt Michelle or sometimes me and my brother are left alone.

"Okay guys! Movie time!" she said while walking with a bag of chips and bag of gummy worms. I like gummy worms but I prefer gummy bears." I thought we will be having a happy time?" Nathalie complained ,crossing her arms and pouting her lips like a child. But nobody respond and pay attention to her.. I just closed my eyes and wishing that the couch would eat me alive, Nathalie is so loud ."Hey Drew! Why don't you introduce us to your 'brother'" she made a imaginary quotation mark emphasizing the word brother.

"Okay! Okay!" Drew said in annoyance ,while he went tot the kitchen. Nathalie went to her room to get her photo album.

I closed my eyes and rest my head at the back of the couch. I feel the sit of me sink, and that moment I knew that somebody is sitting next to me, but im not in the mood to find out. I can feel a hot breath is fanning to my right side of my neck. My annoyance reach its top . I had enough this day. I turn my neck to my right, my eyes went big as a saucer. In front of me I see a pair of grey eyes with a mysterious glint on it. After a few seconds of staring I realize how close our faces are, its only centimeters in between. We continue to stare at each others eyes with intensity. Then he diverts his eyes on my lips. A big lump on my throat is form and I can feel the sudden change of my breathing pattern and I can not move, no matter what I want to move and hit him square in his beautiful face.

Beautiful face ?

 Nah...

But you find him attractive.

NOOOO..

Deny it all you want but it is the truth.

A loud cling clang sound made our gazed divert to the kitchen. Where Drew is holding 2 pans smiling cheekily " Im sorry, Did I interrupt something?" he teased. I can feel my cheeks heat up but I fight of urging of blushing so instead rolled my eyes.

I face Mr.Gummy Bear thief, " Hey! You pervert! What do you think you're doing?" I snapped. He just smirk. "What?!" I huffed.

"Peace-I just want to introduce myself" he said while putting his hand in surrender.

" I don't want to" I crossed my arms and scoot away from him.

"Stefan" he said while extending his hand with small smirk plastered from his face. I gnored him and his offer.

"Stefan!" a yell coming from the kitchen." Can you help me with this!" Drew said.

" Okay,okay" Stefan rolled his eyes and get up from his sit and wink at me before walking towards the kitchen.

A series of 'hey' and followed with a slow clap. Nathalie " Did I miss something?" she said while wiggling her brows. I hit her shoulders. " I hate him!" I said while clutching the cushion. " Oh, you love him" she teased. I stared at her in a bored expression. " I bet that you two will end up at the end of the day" she said while pointing her index finger in the ceiling. I continue staring at her. Nathalie just grin at me flashing her white teeth. And then she winked.

She scream so loud that she may wake up whole neighborhood because of it." What's wrong?" I said starting to panic. Stefan and Drew came rushing in the living room. Drew is holding a spatula in his right hand.

"What's happening? Where is the burglar?" They both said in unison.

Then Nathalie suddenly laugh. The three of us tart looking at each other-worried. Im starting to worried at Nathalie. Is she has a mental condition ?. Different scenarios are starting to form in my imagination. I look at Drew and motion my index finger in a circular movement in the side of my head. Nathalie glares at me and stop laughing.

"Voila!.Were complete" Nathalie clapped her hands . Because of her statement I decided that she doesn't have any mental condition she only done that screaming stuff because she wants to get everybodies attention . Wow,clever thinking.

Then she grabbed Drew's and Stefan's arm." Wow! How many times you go to the gym?" she asked loking Stefan's arm. I swear I saw Stefan's cheeks went pink. She ordered them to sit in couch. Then Nathalie dragged me in the couch with her.

"Movie time!" Nathalie squealed. We sit there in silence.

"Uhmm ,I need to pee" Drew excuses himself. But Nathalie suddenly snapped her head towards Drew's direction." No! You're not going anywhere. You're just making an excuse" she shook her head " It's my welcoming party! Let's enjoy the moment while mom and dad is out of the town."

"Yes, she's right .We should enjoy the moment" Stefan suddenly speak up.

"Welcome to the circle of friends" she said while giving Stefan a high five.

" You only know him, just minutes ago .Not even a hour" I object

"Time is only a number honey" she said while putting her hand on my shoulder. I rolled my eyes.

After an hour. We watch the movie in silence. I mean Nathalie watch the movie.by herself . Drew is snooring,-sleeping on the floor. While stefan is so focus on his phone while I do my project in my subjects.

We are distracted fro our different worlds ;when a loud ringing blared. We look at source of the loud ringing and discover that its stefans phone.

"Sorry" he stand up and went to the porch to pick up the call.

After a few minutes' he came back.

"I'm sorry I need to go now" he said with a guilty expression.

"Bye Nathalie, Its nice meeting you" he said to Nathalie

"Okay, Nice meeting you also"

Then he came to sleeping Drew. He tap Drew on the head " Bro, I need to go home now" .Drew murmured something. He get his bag and jacket ready to go home.

He walks towards the door and stop " Goodnight sweetheart  take care.Bye" he said while opening the door and winked.
