Unknown Lover | A Texting Story

Chapter VIII ☀️

“Who was it?” asked Cheryl while focusing on the pancakes she was cooking.

“My mother.. She wants me home.” the brunette looked away, sighing sadly.

Cheryl turned the stove off and turned to Toni, “What’s wrong, TT?”

“It’s nothing... I'm sorry I can't stay for breakfast, Cheryl. You did so much for me last night and this is how I repay you. Geez I'm so sorry.”

“It’s okay.” the redhead gave her a small yet sad smile.

The brunette sighed and was about to leave when the redhead spoke again, “Let me ride you there. It is still a long walk to the Southside and your bike stayed in the Trailers Park.”

Cheryl served a dish of what she had made to Nana and told her she'd be back soon.

She took off the kitchen apron and washed her hands. Walking to the front door with Toni who remained silent.

The two girls entered the car and Cheryl peeled off onto the road, driving to Toni's place.

“I’m really sorry.. about everything. Specially last night and.. that.” she pointed at the hickey on her neck, “I shouldn't have done it even if I was drunk...” Toni apologized to the redhead for the millionth time.

“It’s okay. Don't worry." She gave her a small smile to let her know it was okay. Driving back to Thistlehouse, Cheryl was lost in her train of thoughts.

Parking the car in her driveway, she unconsciously entered the house and went straight to the kitchen to have breakfast. She was called back to planet Earth when she heard a loud thud coming from the living room causing her to jolt to her feet and rush towards the sound.

“Nana? Is everything alright? What happened here?” asked the redhead once standing by the doorway as everything seemed to be just normal.

“Yes, dear. The noise came from upstairs.” the old lady said with her usual raspy voice.

“Is mumsy home already?” with a raised eyebrow she asked her nana.

“Oh yes, about your mother. She called to say she would stay out for the next week and demanded me to tell you to behave until she comes back or there will be consequences.” The older Blossom told the young girl, who slowly rolled her eyes at what her mother had to say.

“Oh, I will behave. Do not worry Nana.” the redhead smirked.

Cheryl was quick to come up with a party theme to decorate the house before creating a group chat to send in the invites.
