You're so beautiful Ria. Everything about you is beautiful ." He lean his head towards mine. Eyes on my lips. I can hear the silence building around us. The birds chirping and the warmth of his palm on my cheek.
This is it, i'm going to have my first kiss. I can already smell his minty breath. He is coming closer, closer, closer....
"Arrrrrrghh!!!" I jump out of my bed feeling the sweat dripping on my face. There stood at the side of my bed is a grinning brunette, holding a glass.
Lady's and gentlemen, meet my wonderful (note the sarcasm) big sister, Annie. She became my legal guardian since my parents died in an accident when I was 12, Annie was 19 at that time and she was on her second year in college. It was the worst thing that happened in my life, well our lives. Many of our relatives help us though. My aunties on my mother side, Granny and Gramps (parents of my father), they supported us financially.
After two years living with our grandparents, we pretty forget about what happened with all of my cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents of course who are always there for the two of us. But when Annie got a regular job in a call center company she decided that we're going back to our own house. She said that we'll start our new life together.
There's a big difference between living on our house and Granny's house, cause we have a lot of company there. But here it is just Annie and me. Granny only visits us once a week. I forgot to mention that our house is 2 hour drive away from their home.
At first its really hard living in our house, with my parent's memories and all. I can't even go to our living room without crying my lungs out. The room had so much memories and I can't fucking handle it. But my sister and my best friend Lyka always been there on my breakdowns. Lyka only lives a block away so she was always at our place to keep me company when Annie has to work.
After the accident, Annie became my second mom. She supported me on everything, mostly on school though. She's always insisting me to go parties and make friends. As if I don't have any. But I always turn her down because I'm too comfortable on my bed to go on some stupid high school parties. And honestly, I'm too busy grieving.
She also set me once on a date. And I'm like "What the?? That's not what I need. I need Mom and Dad."
I honestly got angry to her that day but I realized now that she's just trying to help me to get start my life already.
"Come on Ri, I'm still here. Do I mean nothing to you?" she asks. And for the first time since the accident I look her straight in the eyes. I didn't see any emotion in them but sadness.
I ran into her and hugged her. I want to say that she means a lot to me but I can't find any perfect word to assure her that. And she didn't say any word either. So we just stayed there hugging each other. Sobbing. And in that day forward, we became closer to each other.
Six years after the accident, I say we pretty much had moved on. Anyways, back to reality.
"What the hell Annie?!" I shouted while wiping the sweat off of my face.
"Well good morning to you too, little sister. Did you finally kiss Alex Pettyfer?" she ask while a smirk is plastering in her face.
"I didn't. Cause you little sucker woke me up before he cou-" Wait, what?
"How did you know that?"
"Oh you know, cause you were like, Ehem! " she faked cough.
"Oh kiss me now. Oh please. " she said imitating my voice. But it sounded like a dying cat to me.
Oh crap, way to get the spotlight.
"Okay first, my voice doesn't sound like that. And second, I didn't dream about Alex Pettyfer. " I defend while getting some clothes in my closet.
"Uh-huh. So who is it now? Chase? Skylar? Chris Pine?" she said while eyeing the the black v-neck shirt and dark washed jeans in my hands. Lyka and I had plan to go malling today and for me this is the perfect outfit.
