Kissing Strangers

Chapter Three

I could hear his footsteps behind me as I tried to get away quickly but he caught up to me and held my wrist to stop me from walking further way from him.

I turned to him and raised an eyebrow silently asking him why he still came after me.

"You're not even going to tell me your name?" The hot stranger asked as he stared at me.

I looked down at my wrist where his hand was still holding and he quickly let go as he waited for my answer.

"No." I said as I sighed. "We're probably never going to meet again so there's no point." I explained.

"Hm." He said and bit his lip. "We'll meet again one day. I just know it." He added and winked at me.

I just shook my head and walked away and this time, he let me so I walked to the place where Kyra and Audrey were and noticed the expectant looks on their faces.

I just grinned slightly and said I'd explain it tomorrow at Audrey's house. After all we were meeting there to work on some project for school.

The next morning I was woken up by my mom.

"Ari dear, I need your help with some things. Freshen up and meet me downstairs. Your sister's already there. Okay?" She said and I groaned into my pillows as an answer.

As she left, I got up and performed my morning routine and got dressed into a tight white cropped tank top and a pair of sweatpants that I turned into shorts and I took my hoodie with me just in case.

I get to the kitchen to see cooking and baking items and ingredients all lined up on the countertops and island. My mom cooks and bakes a lot. She is a chef at one of the most popular restaurants in the city so these types of things are normal whenever she's free at home.

"Okay, what's the occasion? What's happening today?" I asked my sister Arabella as I put on an apron, put my hair in a messy bun and washed my hands.

"Dad's coming home and we're getting new neighbours." She answered.

"Dad's coming home?! Yesss!!!" I screamed and just then my mom came downstairs.

"Yes sweetie, he is now stop screaming and let's get to work." She said.

My dad is a tourist operator so he travels a lot. He doesn't usually stay long because he has a family but he had to be there a month before his client arrives so he could check everything.

It's been a month now and he's finally coming back home!

My mom decided to prepare lasagna and a casserole while she had me and Arabella bake cupcakes and make cookies.

Arabella started with red velvet and chocolate cupcakes and chocolate chip cookies for the neighbours moving in while I started with the same red velvet and chocolate cupcakes and double chocolate chip cookies for us at home. I made a lot so I can take some to Audrey's house later today.
