No other Love

22: Roses|

Amelia's POV:

As Jai kissed my cheek, I knew something was wrong. I know the position I was in with Jason was a bit too much, but we didn't mean to do that. I swear! But the weird part was Jai didn't really react the way I thought he would. I sighed, maybe I'm just thinking too much. I hate it when I do this because I can't sleep at night. Do you feel me?

I decided to go grab a night snack downstairs. I was really careful since I don't want to wake my mom, since she did have work and just came back. I tip toed down the hall and downstairs. I finally made it to the kitchen. I grabbed peanut butter and a ripe Fiji apple. I grabbed a sharp knife and started to cut the apple.

*chop chop chop*

"Amelia?" I jumped at the sudden voice, and accidentally cut my finger a bit.

" ugh!" I half shout. " oh my!" My mom came rushing to my side. She grabs my finger and puts it under the sink, water flowing down. I looked at my mother, and she had a worried look on.

" mom it's fine" I said softly. She looks at me and her worries fades. She gives me a faint smile.

I finished my snack, and just watched some Netflix on the screen. I could feel my mom stare back at me a few times.

It's kinda weird because why isn't she going up stairs and sleeping. I chewed on my bottom lip and grabbed the remote. I lowered the volume. I turned to face my mom who now is facing me as we'll.

" what's up mom? Everything okay?" I asked, tilting my head a bit. She suddenly taps her foot. Yup something is up.

"Uh...your..your dad, he called...." She said looking down waiting for a response. I know awhile back I treated my dad like shit but I had a reason for it. But now it doesn't upset me anymore. I just feel a bit of anger towards him.

"Oh, what did he say?" Tapping my fingers on my lap. I really want to know what he said. But why would my mom tell me now, how about tomorrow when I'm not tired.

" he said, he wants you to visit him for a while, and just cruise like what you teens do" she said with a small smile. I could see she was nervous on what I would say. But seriously, why would my dad who left us hanging want to "cruise" with his daughter who treated him like absolute shit the other time.

I thought about it for a while.

" When" I said, not even asking in a question form." Tomorrow, that's why I came down here, since I heard your footsteps" she said laughing a bit.

Dang it, was I that loud? I looked up at my mother who has pleading eyes. Ugh, I'm just going to do it... For my mother only.

" okay" I simply said. My mother got up and hugged me. I hugged her back of course." He will be over in the morning" she said with a big smile. Gosh, tomorrow will not be great I bet yah.

I woke up with a frown on my face. I lazily got up and went in the bathroom. I brushed my teeth ,then washed my face. I applied mascara and tinted lip balm.

I walked over to my dresser. Hmm where are we even going? She didn't mention anything. I shrugged and picked out a Jada dress I got for Christmas last year.

I don't really wear these types of clothing but why not change things up.

I put on my socks and slipped on my converse, and head down stairs.

" Hey Hun, you look so cute" my mom gushes. I give her a small smile." Is he here?" I asked looking around.

" no he's almost here, he texted me" she stirred the food. " um-" before I could finish what I could say, dad walks in.
