Xandra's pov;
" You did very well with your grades,what gift do you want?". I asked as I patted his head.
" I don't actually want anything mummy but,if you could make me a pair of gloves, I'd be happy". I smiled.
' typical of my cutie. So considerate'.
" Consider it done. I assure you, you are gonna like it".
" Thank you mummy".
" Nelson,did you get a new friend in school?".
" Mummy,why do you ask?". He fidgeted.
' he must think I want to scold him'.
" Nothing. I just noticed that you seemed very happy to go to school this term and you weren't especially happy about the holidays. Do you have a new friend in school?".
" Yes mummy, you could say that. He's very good to me".
" I'm happy to hear that. It's good that you now have a friend. I've always worried about you that you don't talk to your classmates much. I was worried you'd be alone". I ruffled his hair and continued.
" It's good, very good. Make sure you are not so cold to your friend,ok?".
" Yes mummy. Although,he wouldn't mind".
" That's good. Could you bring sister Mira downstairs. She hasn't eaten anything all day. I'm afraid she's still unhappy".
" Yes,yes, I'll bring her right away". He said and ran off.
I intentionally sent him. I knew Mira wouldn't be able to resist Nelson's cuteness. She wouldn't have a choice.
She already told me what happened. It's such a sad thing, I can relate with her. And as such, I don't blame her much for being sad. I also think she feels guilty for what happened whereas, it's not her fault.
I sighed.
A message popped up on my phone so I checked it out.
You didn't forget about the movie did you?
You have an hour more, I'll be waiting
~Shawn~
' ah, I almost forgot'.
Shawn was the stranger that saved me from the attack the other day. He asked to see movie together and took my contact.
I normally wouldn't show curtsey to such person,but,he just helped me, I can't outright say no. So I just agreed, I've even forgotten if not for his text just now.
I saw Mira coming downstairs with Nelson,that means he succeeded, I grinned.
" Mira".
" Un".
" Are you ok?".
" I'm fine".
" I actually forgot that I had an appointment. I have to go prepare now, I have to leave in the next hour, will you be ok by yourself?".
" Of course. Hurry up and go".
" Mummy don't worry, I'll take care of sister Mira very well".
" I trust you cutie. Make sure she eats very well,ok?".
" Yes mummy".
" Alright then. I'll go upstairs now,eat well ok?".
" Were you always this naggy? Is it also a side effect of pregnancy?". She joked with a poker face.
" Maybe". I grinned as I went to prepare for the date, I mean movie show.
My baby bump was already showing so I wore a comfortable dress that looks good on me and doesn't make it obvious that I'm pregnant.
Don't misunderstand me,Shawn already knows I'm pregnant, I don't have to hide from him. I just wanted to wear something comfortable, that's all.
I was just about to leave through the front door when I got another message.
Just 5mins more until you are late.
Don't tell me you aren't coming, you promised.
~Shawn~
I scoffed.
Sorry, I'll be there in another 10 mins approximately.
~Xandra~
I scoffed again before putting away my phone. I didn't want to drive so I called a designated driver. The cinema was not far, I'm sure I could get there in 6 mins.
When I got there,he was already waiting for me. I could see him holding two tickets and a bowl of popcorn. He waved eagerly to get my attention.
