My bestfriend from childhood [Completed]

Chapter Seven

"Did you have fun yesterday? You were home pretty late last night" Mrs. Anderson said as she took a seat on the couch next to me.

It was around 7 A.M. on a Sunday. I was seated in the empty Livingroom with Netflix on in the background while I was doing my algebra homework. It was a usual Sunday, where Mrs. Anderson and I would wake up early in the morning to get work done, while Kyle sleeps in till we all have to get ready to go to the grocery store and buy Korean take-outs from the Korean restaurant next to the grocery store.

"Sorry" I gave her a slight smile "We lost track of time"

"What did you guys end up doing?" she asked as she placed her laptop on the table as it powered up, then started sipping on her coffee.

"We went to his house for his best friend's birthday party" I said "His friends and their parents were there, his sister and his parents. It was nice to see all of their families come together to celebrate Rio's birthday. I mean even though they just met me, everyone was treating me like family"

She gave me a small smile then reached out to tuck my hair behind my ear "I know you miss them, Kim, and it's not like the situation you're living in right now is any better since my Mr. Anderson is here as well so even my family is scattered around and incomplete" she sighed then gave me a small smile "But you know I am here for you, right? I might have not given birth to you, but I sure as hell raised you so that makes as much mine as your mother's"

I leaned closer to her and rested my head on her shoulder "This is enough for me though. It's not perfect but it's great. If there's one thing I know is that I am better off here with you raising me than constantly moving from country to another" I said "I am really lucky to have both you and Kyle, and just being here with you in general. You two have been nothing but great to me"

He planted a kiss on the side of my head "And I am grateful that your parents allowed you to stay here with me" she said "And you know you can always talk to me about boy problems, right?"

I chuckled and moved away "I think I'm good" I chuckled.

She picked up her laptop and smiled at me "If you say so" she said.

"I know so" I smiled before going back to my studies.

Around two hours later, I was up in my room with music on in the background as I got dressed for our trip to the grocery store. It was a short trip to the grocery store, so I ended up dressed in a white t-shirt tucked into my light washed jeans, white sneakers, and my hair falling loosely falling down my back.

"I'm coming" I called when I heard a knock on the door.

"Kim" I heard Kyle call then knocked on the door again.

"I said I'm coming" I called again.

"Can I come in? I want to talk to you about something" he said.

"Kyle, I'll be down in a minute. We can talk then" I told him.

"Sure, we can just talk about his in front of my mum" he said loudly "We can tell her all about how we made o..."

In a flash, I flew across the room, flung the door open before pulling him in and covering his mouth with my hand as I pulled him in.

"What the fuck are you doing? Are you crazy or something?" I said angrily "So what now? It's either I talk to you or you're going to air our dirty laundry?"

I pulled his arms away from my mouth "What the fuck else am I supposed to do? You wouldn't talk to me otherwise" he said.

I moved away to the window and sat on the window seat "Have you thought that I maybe I don't want to talk to you about it?" I said.
