CHLOE'S POV
"Why were you and Keith in that awkward position?", Jess asked immediately Matt left the house.
We just got back from the park and Matt and Keith had gone home. I was about going upstairs to shower before she repeated the question with a teasing smile.
"Nothing, okay? You just met us like that cos he was comforting me about a very sensitive topic".
"Are you sure?", she wiggled her brows.
"Yes, I'm sure", I said before walking to my room. I shut the door and leaned on it.
I sighed heavily before walking towards my window.
" I was wondering if you weren't gonna survive your sister's questioning", Keith said, which startled me.
" Dude, don't scare me like that", I said with my hand on my chest.
"I'm so sorry", he apologized.
"How'd you know anyways?"
"Matt asked me a lot of questions", he replied and I laughed.
"Typical Matt"
"So how are you feeling now?"
"Relieved, it was so nice to finally let it all out but there's still something I need to let out but it's gonna be for another day"
"I'm not gonna rush you into telling me, so take your time"
"Aren't you gonna prepare for school on Monday?"
" Ugh, I was getting used to waking up late"
" It's already past 8, so I need to hurry up and get some sleep. And also, tomorrow is Silly Sunday, and you're invited", I said before closing my window and hitting the showers.
============================
After showering, I arranged my stuff in my backpack and went downstairs for a glass of milk with my phone.
Nolan
His name kept flashing as my phone rang.
"What?", I asked immediately I answered.
"I just wanted to check on you and know if you got any of the gifts I sent"
"I did and I sent most of them to the orphanage and burnt the rest"
" I see that it's gonna take more than gifts to get you to accept me back, isn't it?"
" You can keep trying but I'm not sure we are gonna get back together", I said and ended the call.
" Douchebag", I cursed aloud.
It wasn't up to a minute when my phone rang again.
Nolan
"What is your problem?", I asked after answering.
"Don't be mad at me, but I want you to come outside"
"Why?"
"Please"
"Ok", I sighed. He better not try anything stupid.
I went outside and I met him standing on my porch. I hung up that call and asked.
"What do you want?"
"I came to give you these", he handed me a bouquet of red roses.
"They're nice", I collected them and spoke again.
"Anything else?"
"I also came to see your face. Baby, I missed you", he moved closer to me.
"So?"
"Don't be like this. I want you back. I know I messed up and I'm willing to apologize a thousand times if it makes you take me back", he said, pulling me by my waist.
"Nolan, please stop", I moved away from him.
"Just go home, okay?", I sighed.
"If it's space you need, I'm willing to give it to you, but I want you to know that I won't give up", he sighed.
"The roses are beautiful though", I tried to lighten up the tension.
"But not as beautiful as you", he said and I blushed a bit. He knew I love compliments.
"I'll see at school on Monday?", He continued.
"Yeah, good night Nolan"
"Good night, love", he left in his black Rolls Royce.
I sighed and went back in. I sorta feel bad. I kept the roses on my bedside table and laid down on my bed.
I grabbed my phone and called Keith.
"Forrest?", he spoke up after the first ring.
"Are you surprised?"
"Not really, I just wasn't expecting your call"
"Anyways, Nolan just left my house"
"I know, I saw both of you, talking in your porch"
"Oh", I said and he didn't say anything.
"Well, he wants me back and I don't know what to do"
"What do you want me to do?", Keith spoke, rather rudely.
"Huh?", I didn't even get to say anything and he hung up.
What the fuck just happened?
Keith just hung up on me just cos I asked him for advice?
============================
SUNDAY
I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. I got up, did my business and dressed up in shorts and a crop top. My hair was in a messy bun and I had my avocado mask on my face. Skincare is important.
I went downstairs and met Jess already in the kitchen making breakfast.
"Good morning, sis"
"Good morning, peanut", she teased.
"You're not allowed to call me that", I fake pouted.
"Ok, peanut", we both laughed.
"What's for breakfast?"
"Eggs, bacon, pancakes and berries"
"Ohh, yummy", I said and not long after we had breakfast.
"Ok, so what are we gonna do for Silly Sunday?", I asked Jess.
"I was thinking: play videogames or watch a movie"
"Right----", I was cut off by the doorbell.
"I'm coming", I yelled.
"Are you expecting someone?", Jess asked.
"Yes but no", I bolted to the door and opened it.
" Good morning", Keith said, smiling and holding a box of pizza.
" What do you want?", I said, surprised to see him, after his outburst yesterday.
"I came to apologize for my attitude last night, I wasn't in the best of moods. And also you invited me for Silly Sunday, so I decided to bring pizza as a peace offering", he explained.
"Oh. Then you should've said something, instead of yelling at me"
"I'm so sorry"
"Come in", and he did.
"Sis, Keith's here!"
"Hey, Keith"
"Hi, I brought pizza"
"So thoughtful of you. It's like you knew what I was craving", Jess said and we laughed.
"So what are we doing?", Keith asked.
"Let's watch a movie", I beamed.
"Which one?", Jess asked.
"Well, Keith, since you're just joining us for the first time, we'll let you pick", I smiled.
"Ok, how about Purple Hearts? I've been wanting to watch it", he said.
"Is it about romance?", I asked.
"I think so", he responded and I was super excited.
"Keith, you shouldn't have picked a romance movie, she loves them too much", Jess complained.
