"How are preparations going for grad?" Ashley questioned, while we both stayed in the dining area packing up the dishes. "I don't think I'm prepared for it" I said to her. In all honesty, I wasn't, I tried not to think of graduation and college. All I wanted was just to get the best of this year, and ace my exams. "I mean, we just got into senior year. We still have months left" I uttered. "That's true" She stated."But that's not gonna stop us from getting our dresses now that it's still early" She added. I chuckled lightly, rolling my eyes at her while we remained clearing the whole place up, packing all dishes into the kitchen sink. "I'm home!" A voice called from the living room, causing Ashley to turn to me with wide eyes and open lips. "Jordan's back from college" She squealed, hurrying out of the kitchen, leaving me to my confusion. Wiping my hands with a towel, I followed behind, proceeding into the living room to have a look for myself what the whole excitement was al
It was sad that I still found it my job to keep the kitchen clean, even though I was no longer a maid here. I just got bored and decided to find something doing, which was what prompted me to come over to the kitchen and do the dishes. "Hey" I heard a voice from behind. I jolted in fear, then turned to see Cara moving towards me. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to--" She apologized. "Oh, It's fine" I replied with a smile. She drew nearer to me and without saying a word, she began assisting me. "Thanks" I said to her. She gave me a smile while she rolled her jacket sleeves up, then grabbed an apron from the rack. "That's a beautiful ring" I uttered while acknowledging the beauty of the diamond ring which sat perfectly on her finger. A smile grew on her lips as she looked at it."Jordan really went all the way out for the engagement" She sighed."I have no idea how much he spent on the ring" "Well, you deserve it" I said to her immediately. "Thanks a lot, Nia" She gazed into my
I rested my back on the kitchen counter, running my hands through my loose waves as different thoughts filled my head. A low gasp escaped my lips, at the sound of a much familiar voice speaking."Nia" I turned slowly to find Cameron staring at me with excitement in his eyes, mixed with passion. The way my name rolled off his lips made goosebumps appear over my arms. From where I stood, I could see his grey eyes glistening, gaze calling. He began moving towards me, face expressionless, his hands in the pocket of his joggers. His lips came crashing onto mine as soon as he got to me, grabbing my waist and pulling my body closer to his. I lost total control of my body, as my hands reached up slowly to touch the side of his face. I loved the response he gave to me as his fingers roamed all through my skin, while I slowly pushed aside the portion of hair that fell over his face.The way he stared into my eyes made my heart race. "Skip this, and come with me" He whispered into my ears
THIRD PERSON POV...Cameron followed his mom past the hallway, into the living room, and finally they went out the back. His gaze rested on her, as she folded her arms across her chest, staring back at him. "Mom, I'm here" He uttered, wondering why she had called for him. "I can see that" she responded immediately. She was silent for a while, staring on at his face, meanwhile, Cameron's eyes twitched a little, looking confused as they stood out in the yard, the environment being serene.Jingles rang out loud in the neighborhood, the joy of Christmas filling the air.The whole area was covered in snow, giving the neighborhood a freezing atmosphere. "Mom, if this is about Nia-" He began. "Yes it is about her" She replied immediately, cutting him off. "Why her, Cameron?" "Is this some sort of Joke" She asked in a raised voice. Her voice fell as she looked at him, waiting for him to speak. "With all respect mom, do not refer to my relationship as a joke" He replied. "Everyone's
The worst feeling in the world was being apart from someone you love. At least, that was what I thought. The loud honking of a yellow van, brought me to reality as the moment of fate came closer, right before my eyes. My eyes refused to look up at the taxi that was parked directly in front of me, with its side to us, while the driver exited the car. I wondered why he decided to go to school in a taxi when he had a car of his, and more to convey him.The voices around me felt distant, as I drowned myself in thoughts, and pushed everyone out. Memories I never thought of, filled my head, hot tears stinging my cheeks, the burn making me sniff. I could feel an ache in my head, as tears fell from my eyes. Wrapping my arms across my chest, I wiped the tears away, reminiscing about the past times we had together. The tough times. The good times. The times when I had to bawl my eyes out day and night, longing for him. I didn't realize all eyes were on me, until I heard his voice. Smoo
My phone blared loudly, ringing on my desk, earning me a few stares from the people around me. The class was yet to be filled with all students, but the ones present, was enough to cause an uproar on this bright peaceful morning. My eyes missed the caller's name while I quickly brought the phone to my ears. "Hello?" I uttered immediately, adjusting in my seat and clearing my throat. A gasp escaped my lips as Cameron's voice filled my ears from the other side. "Babe?" He called, after there was no response coming from me. Even though he left for college two days ago, hearing his voice still brought me to shock. We couldn't talk on phone the day he left, and even the day after that, cause for some reason, his line wasn't going through. I stayed up all night wondering if he was alright, while sending messages to him. Messages he didn't receive. "Cameron" My breath came out hot as I whispered his name into the speaker of the phone. "Hey!" He responded immediately. "You got me
17, April...."Why are we even doing this?" My voice came out raspy, yet audible enough for Ashley to hear me. "Cause we're gonna be graduating soon, do you need me to spell it out more for you?" She replied, placing her arms akimbo. "Oh, I understand that. What I don't get, is why we have to shop for dresses now when graduation is in a month's time" I said to her. "Nia! If we leave now and come back here a week to graduation, trust me, all of the pretty dresses would have been swept off the shelves" "Take it from someone who loves getting clothes as soon as it hits the stores" She added. She grabbed her juice cup, taking a sip from it, then turning to look at me. "I promise it won't be hectic" She uttered, placing her palms together. "It's already been hectic, Ashley" I stated. "Oh, don't you be a whiner. C'mon, let's go!" She pulled my arms immediately, dragging me to a lady who was in another section of the store. Turned out they knew each other. The lady gladly led us t
1, May....My eyes scanned the surroundings of USC, a smile lurking on my lips while I watched people move around. The warm air of the environment surrounding me gently, as I got enthralled by its beauty. I saw a few people skating alongside the walkway, whistling while throwing looks my way. My eyes averting each of their gaze, not wanting stares of any sort. A guy with clean shaved blonde hair, came skating towards me, bringing his hands out of his pockets and twirling on his skates. Showcasing his skills of course. Ashley who was finding it hard to get out of the car, finally joined me after what seemed to be a while, giving her hair light taps, while picking a cherry gloss from her bag and dabbing her lips with it. "Hey!" I heard the blonde-haired skater guy call out as he got closer to Ashley and I. "Would you mind going for a drink? There's a restaurant just by the corner if you're interested" I stared at him, observing every single detail. His black pants hung a bit below
