As usual,i was up by 5a.m,it was time to go down and warm the oven and start sliding trays in,On my way down i met my mother who smiled at me and brushed some hair out of my face.
‘’Good Morning baby,How did you sleep?’’She asked whilst smiling at me
‘’Very fine mum,How was your night?”i asked yawning as i was still really sleepy but as i got down and perceived the air in the kitchen,i would probably become fully awake and start functioning
We walked down together and by the time we got there,we noticed the lights were on,Dad had probably started without us,As soon as we got there,there were 2 mugs of camomile tea on the counter and we both smiled at dad as a way of saying Thank you
‘’How was your night,kiddo?’’
‘’Alright,How was yours?’’
‘’Very good….Though you have a little smudge right here’’he said while using his face as an example to guide me to the little smudge
‘’is it gone?’’i asked as i wiped vigorously
‘’No it isn’t,C’mon let me get it for you’’He said and as i leaned in he flicked flour in my face while laughing
‘’oh its on’’ i said while reciprocating but mum came in before i had a chance to do much damage
‘’GREG,MAY,what is going on in here?’’she asked as her lips formed a straight line
‘’i’ll clean it up right away’’i said while smiling apologetically
7 HOURS LATER
I was exhausted and on my way to the nearest convenience store to get some milk and eggs,As soon as i got in,Mrs Alvera smiled and waved at me and i did the same,it was a small town and we all knew each other,we had a population of about 3,000 tops in Silent creek,the perfect word to describe it would be quaint,there was something oddly charming about it that appealed to almost everyone and if you grew up here it was like a code of conduct to know and relate with your neighbours.I quickly made my way to the back where the milk was stored and on my way to get some eggs,someone bumped into me and i dropped my milk and this did not look like the scene from Rihanna’s whats my name video,This wasn’t sexy in any way,it was just messy,i gasped and groaned as i was going to have to pay for that,The frustration soon got the got the best of me
‘’Why didn’t you watch where you were going?,you bumped into me and look what happened?’’i screamed at the person
he just replied by raising his eyebrows
‘’Oh so now you can’t talk,if you weren’t chatting away on that cell phone,maybe you’d be more observant of your surroundings’’
‘’look,you bumped into me,So don’t expect me to apologise’’he replied with a frown on his face,’’so now if you’ll excuse me,i’ve got things to do’’he said as he made his way to check out
i stood there for about a minute with my eyes closed,breathing in and out and it occurred to me how good-looking he was,he had really dark hair with stormy gray eyes and a nice sculptured face,Great,Just great,the first enemy you make just has to be Model like.As i stood there thinking,My cell phone rang and it was mum asking if i got kidnapped
i replaced the milk and got the eggs and as i proceeded to pay Mrs Alvera
‘’Oh May,Thats taken care of’’she said whilst smiling
‘’No,Mrs Alvera,i’m paying for the carton that i dropped back there’’i said firmly
‘’Oh i understood but the young man already paid for that’’
‘’he did’’i asked her but asking mostly myself the question,Several thoughts ran through my head,why would he pay for the milk?
‘’’May’’Mrs alvera called drawing me out of my thoughts
‘’Um..ok,let me just pay for these stuff here’’
‘’Alright’’ she said while scanning the items
Why did he pay for the milk?
