CHAPTER 33

"I'll carry this bag."

"Its ok dad, I can deal with it on my own," I mumbled to dad as we were preparing for the airport.

We would be meeting, Williamsons there and Tyson and Soph too. Off course for paying respect to Tyson's brother and Williamsons for their daughter Diana.

Which propels me laugh about my mother she wouldn't show up tomorrow even for her husband? Well, why would she loathe me like anything, sure she abhors Vincent too?

We arrived at the airport and I waved Julious after he dropped us.

Derry, Soph and Tyson were already there with Rekarta and David. We checked in and occupied us in the arrival seats.

Our parents were chit-chatting and I was sitting there clenching and unclenching the belt of my long coat, While Derry was often making me eat apples. Am I a baby or what?

There was Sophia who took me from the tight gasps of Derry, saving me from the constant compassion from him.

We walked to the washroom to clean our face; I don't know why but I guess Soph wanted to chat with me.

"Hey, what is it, Soph?"

The first thing she did was inviting me into a gentle hug. It felt like home, like someone favourite to me was longing to hold me. I draped my arms around her torso and rested my chin on her crown. Unknowingly my visions felt filled with moisture.

"I don't know Ron, I act all lovey-dovey dump girl, you also think like that about me? The truth is I want everyone to be comfortable around me. Before you came here, I was one girl who had all riches but no happiness but after you happened in my life, it taught me many things, reality and what more even friendship." She sobbed and I clutched her hard knowing that I made her hurt once but I'll not let that happen again she is my blood; we share same DNA.

I'll never let you hurt again Soph. I released her and wiped her tears.

"Wow is Ron crying too?" I smacked her shoulder.

"What are Mr and Mrs Rutherford doing?" I inquired her casually.

"Oh, they were heading somewhere too, I don't remember. I came to company Ty and you guys." Oh, well that's weird. What are you scheming, Caroline?

"Let's go, the boys already have a cold shoulder towards each other," Soph said laughing like a maniac.

Oh, girl, you don't know the deal between them. If you come to know about us three then you'll murder us on the spot.
"So how did you and Tyson happened?" I wanted to know this badly and now is the time.

"Well we were buddies not very good but yeah we were like good friends. I knew Ty had a thing for me but my sense was fascinated to Derry. Then Fermiga snatched him. To eliminate her I paired up with Micheal and the rest you know.
Now I know Ron, who precisely loved me and how it feels to be not loved back. I gave a chance to Tyson and see such a cutie he is." She explained to me everything. WOW.
" Well, that makes sense." I laughed it off.

We arrived at JFK International Airport after 2 hours of flying and I sat with dad. No offence you know why.

After arriving we reserved us an inn to stay tonight. We kids supposed to visit museums.

Tomorrow is the biggest day, the 10th anniversary of the blast will take hold at Brooklyn in McCarren Park.

"Come on, you zone out a lot." Derry tugged my hand and led me. His palms were furnishing me with a trend of warmth and protection. I never thought this badass boy who disliked my guts and the feelings were exact from my side though were strolling together through the frigid streets of New York hand in hand.

I didn't realise that I was staring at him, he looked down at me with the cutest smile one could deliver. Whatever he did in the hospital was for our safety and here I'm ranting him for the millionth time and shooing him off.

He altered himself from what I saw when I met him. He is not that egoistic, abruptly it seems like he is all grown up adult taking care of his pregnant wife.

I shouldn't be like this to him, he must undergo what love is.

"What-"

I didn't let him finish and seized his lips with mine as my heart battered. I could only direct on how tender he felt against my lips, first he hesitated as if he would return it, I will berate him or will never talk to him.

I pulled my lips just and mouthed between the kisses.

"Kiss me back." Derry's eyes were half-open, the warm impression of his breath was although tempting me wasn't working without ruining any second, he captured my lips.
I relished every moment as our lips were prancing rhythmically. Our tongues were fighting for domination but guess what I won and he sighed and my fingers roamed through his well-set hair. We split up and I grabbed his hands.

"I'm sorry for treating you like that." He jerked his head and hugged me stroking my hair.

"I'm sorry Derry."

"Don't be, Ron."
