Unknown mate

Chapter 1

"Come on hurry up Bloom, I have work to go to afterwards and your father's in a hurry to go too." My mother, Rose or Roselyn, explained. We were going to visit our neighbours, as they just moved in. I don't know much about them but that there's a couple who have two daughters and a son, around my age. I think.

"On my way!" I said back, trying to get them off my case and to not make me more anxious than I am. Usually, I'm not that nervous when meeting new people only if they're people I just know to stay away from, but I don't know these people at all so it's kind of weird as to how anxious I'm feeling. I shake these thoughts out my head. Oh, what if he's cute? No, I can't think like that. I was taught not to, as my parents are kind of strict as to who I'm with.

I make my way, grabbing the golden brown hamper, filled with cakes, chocolate and a vanilla sponge, with some flowers, which are quite natural looking.

You're so dumb Bloom! I smack my head. All flowers are fûcking natural. As you can tell I really don't know types of flowers. Only the ones which are my favourite - uh yeah I don't know that too. I'm really indecisive on these things.

I grab the traditional hamper gift thing made by a tradition, when our neighbour, Uncle Rowan, gifted it to us when we moved in a few years ago. Him and his wife were really helpful and kind to us, and I think my parents were hoping to be the same, expect that fact that Rowan's wife, Dahlia died in a car crash last year. It was really devastating and it was all due to a drunk driver.

When the hell did I get here? Apparently I'm in front of their door step, with my mum about to knock on the door. The door opened, and a mature looking lady came out, polished with her - wait, Chanel bag? I want that. Her blonde curled hair, not a single strand out of place, no split end in sight, and I thought she had kids? She looks way too young but her fashion states that she's in fact a mother. Wait a minute what if it isn't?

"Hi, my name's Roselyn, this is my husband Daniel and my daughter, Bloom" My mum introduced. "We live across the road and wanted to welcome you to our street."

"Oh hi, nice to meet you! My name's Grace, and welcome to my home of me my husband and two children." She rambled, saving each of us in and giving us a hug, well my parents, not me. As soon as I entered, I made my way to take off my slippers.

Oh. My. God. Slippers. "Oh no honey, you can leave them on, get nice and comfortable." I stood the wide-eyed not believing as to what I had done. I finally mustered a smile, trying to not show how embarrassed I am. Hoping this was the end of Bloom's show- where Bloom, the epitome of embarrassment is a clumsy fool.

Oh but of course this wasn't. A hot, guy, around eh I don't know I'm staring at his chest but not for too long. "Ah, there he is, Rhydian get down here! We've got guests," Grace ushered, " This is my son, Rhydian,"and I steal one more glance at him to find him staring at me.

Is it me or is it getting hot in here? Grace starts talking as this small girl dressed in a cute Ted Baker dress, comes out and I never even noticed her there since I was too busy staring at Rhydian.

"And this is my darling daughter Izzy, short for Ysabella."
My breath hitches upon hearing Izzy, a figure belonging to the past. My parents noticed and ushered Grace to talk more about their oh so lovely lives.

As time went on, we had a lovely lunch of Beef lasagne which was honestly so creamy and delicious. I've never experienced anything like that at all.
"Mhmm" slipped out my mouth which I tried to cover up, coughing and reaching for a glass of water, glad my makeup is concealing my blushing.

Next they talked asking me questions and us- well my parents asking them questions. I found out they have a sister, older than Izzy at 13 but younger than Rhydian - mhmm his eight pack- at the age of 15, the same age as me. Rhydian was 17, looking for a college to go to here. Oh and their dad was off work for business or something for a few days.

In return they found out that I had 1 sibling, Landon at the age of 11. A bit later, my parents went to work to go work on their business and Grace insisted I stayed here, for a few more minutes, with the help of my parents as I would be getting to know my neighbours better.

We stayed around their living room which was immaculate with grey and black and white being the main colour scheme. I sat on a couch, nodding to questions they asked me and weirdly enough there was another couch near me that I swear Grace was going to sit on but moved and let Rhydian sit there.

Anyways, I soon went on my phone just chilling while watching a movie with them called Sinister, which I already watched, and soon enough made my way back home, to go get some ugly sleep as I don't get seem to get any sort of beauty at all, after saying some goodbyes and see you soons.
