Need A Stack

Chapter 14: Mixed Feelings.

"no pressure,no diamonds."- Thomas  Carlyle.

"Was this lunch??"

Hell no.
Should I believe what and who I'm just seeing on our doorway?

"Juliet!?"
I shouted in disbelief with an awkwardness you'd think I wasn't sure if that was really her name.
"Come on!stop staring. I'm really craving for that hug!"

She screamed with happiness with a soft voice as she was jumping randomly with her pink bag pack on her right hand.
I couldn't stay any longer than run to her to give her the hug she'd been craving for. I really missed this soul I admit and the hug stayed longer than anyone could expect.

"I really missed you Juli. How's home? Or did you not go anyway?? How's Harriet? And have you talked to Alicia or maybe Chris??how are they I miss them too.."

I hardly kept calm and I curse my mouth for being so talkative all of a sudden. I was still curious to know all that and I kept staring at her waiting for her to say it all.

"They're all fine I'm glad."

She gave me a weird smile that I noticed something was somehow not right. Thou wait, how did she know my house. I can't remember mentioning where I live to anyone at school and I can't even trace who had told her about it. That wasn't the point now anyway and I'm so happy that she turned up. This house was now getting too much for me and I'd even started thinking of lying about my opening date.

I turned to mom and Alvin who were still at the dining table and kept stealing glances on our way I'd guess they were really waiting for a little introduction.

"Oh hey Mom, Alvin, this is Juliet. My school best friend who I spend most of my time with. Juliet, this is my mom and that is Alvin... uhmm my old friend."

That was an odd introduction I didn't see it coming. I peeped over Alvin and noticed his weird eyes focused on my way and with no time turned to Juliet who was having a broad smile on her decorated face. I almost confused her with Regina Hall and her complexion was glowing I think she'd applied a lot of concealer plus excess foundation and a red lipstick. Her mascara was blue which had matched with her blue pants and slides. That was the most comfortable wear she could travel on. She would say that every time we would dare to select a mini-dress with high stilettos when she asks us for a nice wear to turn up on when she gets to her parents. I wonder why she asked when she couldn't consider our opinion though.

"Oow that's so nice of you to visit sweetheart..you're so much welcome and feel at home!"

Mom told her as she seized from a warm hug she had given her. I wonder how long they've been hugging and talking. I couldn't trace what Juliet has been telling them and that aside,,,I still didn't notice her move from my side way.
I fixed a smile immediately I spotted Alvin looking at me suspiciously. It seems I've been standing in one point for so long that he had to notice.

"Hey Julie,let me staff your bag in my room. I guess you don't have to have your nights in a guest room cause you ain't one anyways." I gave her a slight tap on the ass as I grabbed her bag and went to my room.

"So where do you come from Julie"  I heard mom ask her as I disappeared through the corridor. I knew she would get to her obvious questions immediately she gets the chance.

"Your friend looks cute..does she have a phone?" I heard a strong voice from my behind as I was unpacking Juliet's clothes and fixing them in the extra hangers that were on the wardrobe.
"Why don't you get to ask her by yourself then?" I knew I was talking to Alvin even if I hadn't turned any minute since I noticed his presence. Thank God I never gave him a second chance!

"Sorry...I just thought we could be friends. She seems cool."

"So you say..and no need to explain your damn self..after all I never asked why you asked about her having a phone."

I gave him a 'duh' look as I hanged the last cloth and moved to the shoe rack to arrange the two sport shoes she'd carried. He moved to my bed and dumped his lazy body on my well spread duvet. I bet he was going to spread it again as soon as he gets up..

I rolled my eyes when I got him looking at me as if he wanted me to say something.

"I'm leaving now. Are you still interested in messing with my blue colorful duvet?"

He gave me an exhausted look as he pulled himself up with a tired groan. What is he tired of?

In a minute I just remembered he had brought me jeweleries..I remembered that's what mom told me through the phone when we talked. I wonder why he's not giving me yet. I decided to let it pass or maybe giving him an extra allowance Incase he had been planning to surprise me one day.

"You've become so tall Julie..what are you up to!" I interrupted jokingly when I got her chilling on the living room with mom talking so much. I was so much worried..mommy could get into personal information that could maybe piss Juliet...she's not that patient and chilled like you may think. I sat next to her and saw Alvin relaxing on the opposite couch maybe to have the appropriate view of Juliet's beauty.

"So you mean!" Juliet rose to her feet and turned so that I can continue approving my point.

"Of course yeah!"

"Well thanks. I was even thinking of starting attending and participating in modelling shows. You're now giving me hope.!"

"Okay girl. I totally never meant that you have a modelling figure."

"Mscheeww!" She rolled her eyes laughing and later she took a seat. Mom was also laughing at what I'd said and suddenly I became proud of making people laugh in this house.

I looked at Alvin who was still sitting and pretending to be so busy in his phone. Every time she kept creeping his nose over on Juliet's way. I watched Juliet's eyes and noted that not any bit has she looked at him. Does he have a crush on Juliet..or what's up with him really.

"You haven't freshened up ever since you arrived."

"Woah your mom is so charming I even forgot about that." Mom chuckled feeling so proud about that.

"Okay follow me."

She stood up and followed me to my room. I again turned to look at Alvin who had turned too on our way to stair at Juliet's waist. This is getting out of hand now!

"Here's the towel when you get from the shower." I showed her everything she could need and told her to get me in the living room when she's done.

I got to the kitchen to pick a drink and got Alvin there who had came for the same thing I guess.

"It's not the first time I've seen you dummy."

"What do you mean."

"Are you crushing on her?"

"Who?me! Hell no. Why would you think so?"

"Just asking." I grabbed a passion juice bottle from the fridge and started moving out.

"You jealous??"

"Wait what?"
