Ratatouille

I checked my phone to see many notifications from everyone and from dad.

Shit.

I quickly call him and place the phone to my ear.

"Alma oh my god. Thank god you're okay" Dad whispers. "Why weren't you answering my calls"

I check the twenty missed calls he left.

Oops.

"I'm so sorry. I felt really sick" I whisper hoping I'd sound sick.

"Princess you could've called. I would've picked you up" Dad whispers.

"It's okay. I didn't wanna bother you and its fine I'm at home" I smile.

"I'll be home in a bit and I'll pick up some food" Dad smiles.

"Bye dad" I whisper before hanging up the phone.

I focus back on Latrelle who gave me a hug from behind.

His hands wrap around my waist as he turns me around to face him.

"Thank you for everything Alma" He whispers kissing my head.

"You're welcome and get well soon" I smile kissing him on the lips.

"Thanks Alma" Jerome smiles before heading out.

Latrelle follows after him waving as he left.

"Bye" I shout as they get in the car.

I watch as their car drives off.

I stood there for a few minutes looking out at the sunset.

I begin to head inside but a car horn stops me.

Oscar's car pulls up on the side walk.

Shit.

I quickly begin to rush in but he calls out my name.

"Alma wait" He shouts jogging up to me.

I sigh trying not to roll my eyes.

"Hey Oscar" I smile trying to hide my anger.

I wanted to punch him but I knew if I did I'd be the one who got hurt not him.

"Hey Alma. Cesar asked me to come check up on you. Heard you're ill" He stutters.

"I'm good" I reply hoping this conversation would end sooner.

"Let me check" He whispers before placing his hand on my forehead.

"Okay stooop. I'm fine" I giggle pushing him away.

As much as I wanted to hate him I couldn't.

"I believe you" He smiles.

He turns to leave but I quickly grab his arm stopping him.

"You wanna come in? Watch a movie or? " I ask.
