Stuck in the Past

Chapter 19

With each step I took, memories of what just happened at my best friend's door. I have immense doubts reigning in my mind, but I only have one certainty: this kiss was not indifferent to me.

After walking for what seemed like hours, I got home. I tried to make as little noise as possible so as not to wake anyone, but I noticed that someone was in the kitchen, so I went to see who was on foot.

"Insomnia?" I asked, looking for a glass to fill with water.

- It seems so! I came to drink a glass of milk and was already going back to bed. So how did your program go? - asked my mother sitting on a chair and I sat across from her.

- It went well, we went to dinner and then to see a movie. Nothing too special!

- But its everything alright? I notice you a little tense, dear.

- It's nothing, I must be just tired, don't worry.

- Oh my angel, of course I sorry ... in fact that is my full time job.

My mom knew something was going on, but she realized that I didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't insist on it anymore, just standing in front of me to finish drinking her glass of milk.

- Well I'm going to bed and you see if you rest my love.- said my mother coming to kiss me on the forehead and went to her room.

I stayed in the kitchen for a while, contemplating my glass, already empty and then went to my room. Ronnie slept soundly, so I tried to make as little noise as possible so he wouldn't wake up.

I lay down on the bed, but I can tell you that it was extremely difficult to fall asleep ... As much as I tried to think about other things, the kiss ended up coming up. I don't know why it happened, or what it meant, but I do know that I felt something, I just can't quite identify what.

I woke up at half past ten and noticed that Ronnie was still in his bed, with the coloring book my parents had given him. When he saw that I was already awake, he went up the stairs and put himself under my sheets, beside me.

We stayed in that position for a few more minutes, until we were both hungry. We arrived at the kitchen and there was only my sister, which I found strange because by this time my parents are usually awake. Usually they take Saturday morning off and go to STAR Labs in the afternoon, but from what Dawn told me, today they changed their schedule, going in the morning and stay home in the afternoon.

I started to think about what we were going to do for our lunch, but Dawn said that when our parents came from the lab, they would bring us our lunch, so we could relax. So, after eating and putting the dirty dishes in the dishwasher, the three of us went to the living room to watch TV.

So that none of us would lose, the deal would be that each of us had half an hour to see what he wanted to see on television. In other words, from 11 to 11:30 Dawn chose what she wanted to see, after 11:30 to 12 I choose and, finally, from 12 to 12:30 was Ronnie's choice.

Our parents arrived around 12: 35/12: 40, so it was fair in terms of division of the television schedule. Despite Dawn's poor choice of channel, this family time made me forget what happened last night and that made me happy.

- Really, bro? You work with criminals every day and your choice of series to watch on a Saturday morning is CSI NY? "Asked Dawn.

- So, what is the problem? I like it!

With Dawn, we were watching a program called Next in Fashion . I admit that I don't understand the charm of this type of television programs, but if Dawn likes it, we make an effort. As you all know, my television time was spent watching CSI NY , a series that I love, and my favorite characters are Danny and Lindsay. Ronnie, on the other hand, chose to see a program that the three of us liked, which was Phineas & Ferb .
