Remember Me

3. Embarrassed

I just experienced the longest drive ever in my life. my dad and mom bragging over how beautiful the place is (to be honest it is beautiful but I don't think ill accept it sometime soon). Perfect little Steve talking about how happy he is that we are here and I just had my mouth shut the whole time. I was finally relieved to reach our new home till I saw a couple at their 40s. The lady is too young for her age and is wearing a beautiful navy blue dress and the man has a really charming smile. I realise both of them have brown hair and it is really cute. But Great. more conversations on the way. Now all I need is to invite the whole people living in this street and conduct a party.

I get out of the car and see both the man and woman walking towards me. the rain has come to an end. Small and fresh new droplets of water touch every end of the grasses making them adorable. I stand here and I smell the newly blossomed flowers and new sent of the earth and it is so satisfying. As they both reached us I hear my mom screaming inside the car.

"Hi Lily, How are you?" I swear I would have risked anything to get her emotion framed.

"Oh Amanda. I'm great. How are you? Look at you. You've lose weight" wow, British accent. I've heard only British accent since I arrived here.

So my mom knows this woman. Great. Now it seems like I'm the only one with no friends.

The man with Lily went straight for my dad and both of them settled in a hug which made me sure that both of them are besties. I look like a clown in between these crowd.

"Penny for your thoughts?" I completely forgot about Steve till he pulled me back from my thoughts

I looked into his eyes and realised they were blue. Hmm not bad. I love blue eyes and somehow I've found people with blue eyes very kind except for this one. Time to change the records Ella.

"I think you didn't hear me?" Steve started blabbering again.

What should I tell him? Oh Steve, Honey I was just wondering about your eyes which are lovely unlike you. But of course I don't tell him that instead I ask him about the couple and the emotional show they've put in front of us.

"Oh that's Lily Wilson and Robert Wilson. Your new neighbours" he says with a wait-till-you-know-everything-smile.

Oh God isn't he obnoxious?

Lily Wilson interrupts before I could comment on Steve's words

"Oh honey, you were so young when I saw you the last time. you've grown so much and look at you so pretty"

I see 5 sets of eyes setting their view on me. I feel like I'm some historical equipment in a museum right now. I hate recognition. I see Steve trying to contain his smile. well more of a laugh. probably due yo my idiotic expression from not knowing what's going on. Mom looks like she'll break into a sob right now.

once again Steve finds me uncomfortable and says

"you've had a very long flight Mrs. Jones, I think you should rest"

my mom already loves him.

"Aww honey, call me Amanda"

Steve smiles at her.

"Kevin, darling, would you help me with the luggage please?" mom asks dad as she walks towards the back of the car.

before dad could say anything Steve interrupts,

"it's alright Mrs. Jones. Eh I mean Amanda. I could carry it for you"

"Oh no Steve it's alright you've done a lot for us today"

"No I'll do it seriously. Go on, take rest"

mom thanks him for what seems like a million times and settle and gets back with Lily.

Now that I have all my attention towards myself I realise the beauty of my new house. It looks like one of the houses you build a long time ago but still after all these years has it's own beauty which crosses every single houses in the modern times. I've always had a love towards vintage stuff. I've had a collection of vintage things when I was younger. The snow globe was my favourite among them. It had a cute couple inside it and a key at the bottom. The key when turned would make the couple dance and the snow would wash over them. It has been my favourite view beside anything. I've always wished for someone who would look me in the eye like the man in the snow globe did. But some years ago on the Christmas eve Aimee spent her night with us and she accidentally broke my snow globe. it broke my heart like forever and I didn't talk to her for quite some days but then I realised that friendship was more important than a globe.

Steve starts getting the luggage out of the back while my mom walks towards the house. I start following her and she asks me to help Steve with the luggage and Steve being the gentleman he is said,

"No. It's alright. Ella must be so tired from all the travel"

Bippity Boppity Boo. How dare he thinks that. What am I? A two year old to be so tired.

"You know what? I'll help you"

I am so sure he could see the smirk in my face because he gives me a lets-see-how-far-you-can-go look.

As I'm about to walk towards him Lily grabs me into a hug and talk more about how much I've changed till her husband had to drag her from me.

"God, does she have some problem? like hugging every single people she see?"

I ask from my nearly death encounter with Lily Wilson's hug.

Steve chuckles.

"I don't know about that but mum will be delighted to hear your thoughts so she could improve"

"WAIT. WHAT? SHE . IS SHE? LILY? YOUR? MOM?"

"Well your question wasn't complete but assuming from the little pieces. Yes, Lily Wilson is my mum and Robert Wilson is my dad and I mam Steve Wilson"

OH CRAP I'VE DONE IT AGAIN.

I should really think before I say something. how could I be so stupid. besides I never bothered to ask Steve's last name. and HOLY SHIT this is what the British accent is about. Could I be more dumb? Hell no.

"Oh God, Steve, I am so so..."

"Hey it's alright. it was quite funny actually." he cut me in and he was laughing actually.

Well I guess it isn't as bad I thought it is then but still I feel horrible.

He starts taking my luggage and I insist on taking it and as usual like it is obvious, the luggage falls onto my foot.

"Ouch" I cried in pain.

"Hey, Ella are you alright?" Steve seems to be worried.

"Yeah I'm fine"

"Here, let me take you inside"

he carries me inside the home and lies me on the couch.
