My bully

Part 16

Diane's pov

There was a bad weather at the time, the rain drops falling and sticking to the window was something that always relaxed me for some reason, the car was in a low but really nice temperature, I was a passenger in the most comfortable seat of all (the co-driver one) some thunders were visible at the grey and cloudy sky, I would think that this is the perfect weather to fall asleep even in a car, but my mind was set on another subject, all I could think about was what Ms' Chart told me earlier in her apartment, it wasn't such a surprise but it was something new for me, I never really liked or fell in love by a person so of course I don't know what it felt like. Of course being distracted with my own toughts meant that I wouldn't talk during the trip back home, my mom noticed this and tried to establish a conversation with me.

C-Sweetie?

D-Yes mom?

C-Are you alright? You haven't talked since I picked you up.

D-Yeah mom, I'm fine, there's nothing to worry about.

But even after I said that my face said the opposite thing, I had a mix of a worried and sad expression that even I noticed it.

C-Are you sure?

D-Yeah mom, don't worr...

C-If it is because of something that Ms. Chart told you, well you can tell me about it.

She just guessed it, I don't know how but she did, maybe I was too obvious about it.

D-No mom, I'm fine, she didn't tell me anything bad, so don't worry, ok?

C-Hmmmm.... Ok, if you say so.

After this I would expect her to leave me alone once again, but deep down I know that she did not believe me, and as I said before her guess was the actual truth, I can still remember Ms. Chart's words, they left me in a pretty confused and shocked state.

Moments before

D-W..w.what do you mean I like her?

MC-Well, when people act nervious around a certain person or you simply mention that person around them it is a sign that he or she likes that person.

D-.....

MC-But listen, I'm not telling you that you actually like her, I'm just telling you that you might feel that way for her, but it is not a concrete answer.

D-What do you m..mean?

MC-What I mean is that you are the one that needs to get to the answer if you like her or not.

Present

I was at the front door of my house already, I wanted to open the car's door but it didn't work, mom didn't unlock it, I looked at her and I saw that she was about to tell me something.

C-Diane.

D-What's wrong.

C-You know, when you were at Ms. Charts appartment your aunt called me, she said that her and her husband are going for a business trip at Hong kong for a week and a half and they said that they can lend us their house during the time they're out of the country.

The aunt's lakehouse, I've been there, it's truly an amazing place, it as a house that it is located in a neighborhood close to a forest, the house is in front of a lake and we can go there and swim during the day, they even have a jetski, I love that place, it is a small part of my childhood that I really appreciate and of course it would be bad at all to go back there.

C-But since they are not there and it will be only the two of us, which is boring I was thinking if we could invite Astreed and her mom, what do you think?

Oh damn

I didn't imagine that my mom would invite them to the lakehouse, I agree with her, the two of us it's not enough to spend the time there, it was always the uncles and us but since they are not going to be there I guess we don't have another option but to invite them, and I can't complain.

I really like to spend time with Astreed, and with this little trip I am going to spend more time than usual, besides, this would something good if I really wanted to confirm if I really liked her or not.

D-That sounds... pretty nice!!!

C-Great, I'm pretty sure that they are going to accept the invitation, besides, you'll be with Astreed, so it'll be fun, don't you think so?

D-Y.yeah.

C-Well, we are leaving in two days if they accept, you gotta pack your stuff tomorrow since we're leaving in the morning, ok?

D-Ok mom.

I was happy because I was back to that place where I spent some really good moments, and also because I was going to spend more than a week.... In a house..... with you....
