CLINT GROSSWEINER

"Kwint! Kwint!" A call from a young girl whom I've known since the day of my birth.Yes it's Dion. She's so cute and so clingy. I love annoying her, seeing her face pout because of anger. This is what I always tease her whenever I see her. She's having a hard time to say my name, she can't say the letter "r" when we were young, but I find it cute. We are now in our first year of college. My course is inline with business, since I'm going to take over our small company, my brother Zander took care of our other companies, and he entrusted me to take care of our small new start up company, he believes that I can make it grow bigger. Dion on the other hand is taking up a medical course, that's what she always wanted. She aspires to become a doctor.

          I'm now on my way to her school. I always go there to get her. And she always wait for me. We're not on a relationship, she still doesn't know it. I'm just looking for a perfect timing for my confession, we are still young, consider that we're eighteen years old. I'm thinking of confessing at the age of twenty. I'm not afraid of any guys who tried to flirt with her. Because she always tells me, it's not the time, I don't care about them, I'm still enjoying my youth, and I'm enjoying my days with you, that made my heart flutter, whenever I think about it.

          As I'm near, I saw her already waving her hands to catch my attention. She always does that whenever my car is near. She's so elegant, beautiful, and that smile that she shows to me, makes my heart flutter more than I expect.

          "Clint, what took you so long? I've been here for about thirty minutes, I thought you're not going to pick me up" she said. I chuckled when she said that. "I'm sorry baby, my professor extended the class, so I was late" I explained, I saw her frowned. It's amusing to see her always react like that, whenever I call her baby. "Don't call me baby" she said, I know that she's starting to be annoyed. But I don't care, I love her. "Why, is there a problem, me calling you baby?" I said while getting closer to her, and I can see her stepping back. And pinning her at the front door of my car. "What are you doing?" She said. While I continued to stare at her beautiful face. "I'm just opening the door, you're on the way" I said while staring at her, then I unlocked the car door of the front seat. Then she suddenly stood straight. "Why didn't you tell me, I totally over reacted by your actions" she said. "Why? Are you going expecting more?" I teasingly said to her, then I smiled. "Shut up! And just drive, mom's waiting" she said, then entered the car.

          She didn't talk. We were both silent. I bet she's still pissed of me teasing her. She's just looking outside the window. I broke the silence and asked her, if she's going to be available tomorrow Saturday. "Baby, are you available tomorrow?" I said but she didn't reply. "Okay, Okay fine I'll not call you baby" I said while smiling, and still focusing on the driveway. "Good" She said. "Yes, there's no laboratory tomorrow I'm available, and I plan to just relax and rest at home" she added. "Will you go out with me?" I said, then she suddenly looked at me with a shocked look. "What do you mean go out with you?" She asked, while maintaining that shocked look on her face. "Haha, don't misunderstand, I'm just inviting you to go somewhere with me, I'm not thinking of what you're thinking. So are you expecting me to..." I explained, and she but in, in the middle of my explaining. "I know, I was just asking where you'll bring me to" she said while trying not to look at me, and gazing his eyes back to the scenery outside. I know she just diverted the topic.

          "I'm going to bring you somewhere, that we haven't been before" I told her. "Uhm, Okay, I know that you're not going to tell me anyway, you always say that." She said. She definitely knows what's going on my mind. She knows I'm not going to tell her anyway.

          We already arrived. The gate opened and welcomed us. The guard greeted us. I drove the car inside and parked it at the front of the house. I was about to leave when aunt called me. "Hey, Clint care to join us for dinner, it's already 7:00 pm, you shouldn't let your tummy empty" aunt said while smiling. "Okay aunt Rian" I answered. While we're dining, aunt stared at me. "You're now a big boy, Clint, it's like it was yesterday when I was helping your mom to take you to bath. Haha you were so naughty, and I remembered when you peed while still asleep." Aunt said, I felt ashamed, I gaze at Dion, and I saw her chuckling. I bet she's so happy that her mom is dissing me, telling my whole life when I was still a child. "Aunt, it's embarrassing" I said to aunt. "No mom, continue I want to know more" Dion said while smiling, and grinning at me, I knew it, she's enjoying it.

          "Ohh, right, remember when you hurt your mouth, you bumped on a tree, Dion was chasing you, Dion back in the days always run to you, and cling unto you, whenever she sees you, you'll u always run. Bet that you're annoyed of Dion at that time. She always looks after you. She kissed you right? Haha, your lips were swollen because of the bump so she kissed you and told you, it won't hurt anymore because I already kissed it, right?" Aunt continued to tell what she remembers, and uncle Zach burst into laughter. What aunt told made me happy, I wasn't embarrassed by that, but Dion seems to be embarrassed. And she halted her mom to stop. So her mom stopped but the laughter is still there.
