Padgett's POV
Whoa! It's really lovely but...
You are not planning of reject it. Sutton said and touched my hair.
I wouldn't do that, I promise, it's just that I felt bad that, I promise you that I was going to join the painting class but I...
It's fine, I understand that you prefer drama. He said, I lie to him that, I prefer drama, I couldn't bring myself to tell him, that Cameron was the one that told me not to.
Go on and take it.
Wow, do you have much of this in your house, as in your wall might be covered with it. I asked.
Yes, I have a painting room, do you want to see...
Let’s watch a movie! Cameron's voice interrupted us and the next thing, Cameron pulled my hand, causing me to follow him.
That will be fun but it's definitely not a romantic one, I prefer horror. Ray said
Alright I’ll get the popcorn… Emerald said, I look at her, I wasn't expecting her to agreed because she is sacred of horror movie just like me.
When she returns, the only available space is beside Alex, Emerald had to sit near him while I sit on the floor, Sutton sit separate from Ray and Cameron, he seem lost, I really don't know the reason he is staring at the TV without interest when he was the one who suggested it.
Okay! Let’s watch then.. Sutton said smirking as I silently wondered while he wasn't saying much today, I know he is not that time, that talks too much but he is overly quiet
Aw! Emerald screamed, she was the first to showed that she is scared, as the movie kept going, I try to compose myself, I closed my eyes pretty tight.
Ugh! Emerald and I screamed for the umpteenth time, at same time, this time fear had taken the better part of me.
Alex, don't you think, we should change it? Sutton asked
No!… We chorused
Such a baby... Cameron mocked as he took a sit near me on the floor
Shut up Cam… I said hitting him hard
Let’s just finish the movie, please, I promise, I am not going to screamed again. Emerald said as we went back to the movie
The lights kept on shaking which was making this seem like, we too are actually in the horror movie and to top it all, Cameron was making really creepy sounds near me every second
No! I screamed as the light went off jumping off the floor and the popcorn, I was holding pour all over
Aw! I shouted immediately as the movie made a really creepy sound as I rushed to grab the closet pair of hands close to me
Aw! My eyes bulge out, seeing Alex and Emerald, they were so closed, yet their eyes were fixed on me when the lights came back and then as I stared at the position I and Cameron were in, it turns out the pair of hands were no longer than Cameron and I was straddling him completely, I tried to get out of the position but it only made it worse as his hands involuntarily moved to my waists and mine placed on his shoulders still on the floor blushing crimson red as Emerald and Alex cooed even more, now Ray and Sutton eyes piercing on my skin with their burning gaze
I didn't posses the courage to look into those lovely eyes of his, so instead I carefully removed my hands from his shoulder climbed off him, then dusted myself and took my sit on the couch as he did same without saying a word to me.
Hm! I guess we’re just going to pretend like nothing happened in that case let’s finish the movie. Ray said staring at the TV only to find out that the movie is over.
It's obvious, the movie, said we should go prepare for the party. Sutton announced, I signed in relief because I was burning in embarrassment right now, I was about standing up.
When Emerald voiced came up. Let's play a game, it's still time.
Game! The four of us asked.
Yes, it's called spinning the bottle, if it falls on you...
No way, I really don't want to get involved. Sutton screamed
Stop been a killjoy, you... Cameron words were hooked, he stand fast.
What is it? Ray asked.
I think I have to, I need to do something. Cameron said.
You need to do something or you need to see someone. Alex comment, Cameron pushed his head, then exit the door, I frown, I knew he is going to meet with Cathy, do I even have the right to be jealous, he is just a friend not my boyfriend.
I reassured myself but the truth is, I wish I could truly accept those words.
I too have to leave, I should get going now. Emerald stood up
Did you come with your car? I’ll drop you off? Everyone eyes fall on Alex
Wait? It might be stressed to get me home, so just... Emerald said gasping for air.
No, it's not; your house is actually closed to mine.
Really?
Yes! I found out yesterday, when I was leaving the estate. He said
Okay then, I will not have to call my driver then, see you later Padgett. She said as they walked out, I waved at them as well.
Ray and Sutton also left since, we have to prepare for the party, spending the afternoon with this ones was fun, I just wish I could have another opportunity like this, mom was right after all, spending time with the ones you love, is always fun.
I have to put everything in place, I really don't want mommy to get mad at me and I promise to fit everything before leaving because right now the house is in a mess
It almost few hours to the party, time is really crawling, now all I needed was to get everything done fast and get ready, I was supposed to go with Emerald but she just jilted me because of Alex, she texted few minutes back that she is not going to pick me, I would had prefer to go with Cameron but I really don't think it will be possible and it’s gonna be different, I for one, I’ll be going with my fake boyfriend Newton and secondly, he has Cathy now and he seems to be really happy with her.
Get your ass here. I heard Cameron's voice from the phone, I was surprised, is it time already? I was thinking I still have lot of time.
Why? Is not yet time.
I know, your wears for the party. He screamed out.
Oh! Just give me a few seconds. I said as I ran into the bathroom I hurriedly took my bath, I wear a simple gown and hurry out, I didn't even applied anything on my face. I didn't even bother to tell my mommy, I was going out with this jerk of a friend, I wanted to smile at him but I remember, what happened earlier at the coffee shop, so I just decided to ignore him completely, the only thing I want to have with him right now, is to get my wears and for him to disappeared.
Ouch… I heard Cameron groan as the door slammed shut probably hurting his fingers in the process
Idiot, don't you know you supposed to be careful. I scolded him as I rushed to his sides. Let me see. I said trying to get hold of his hand
It doesn't hurt there it hurts here… He said pointing to his heart
Idiot! So that is one of your trick right? I said hitting him on his chest.
I really don't know
Asshole! I cursed taking my seat in the car facing the opposite side as he entered the car driving off, he turn on the stereo, playing a loud song.
Could you turned it off. I said groaning out of frustration
Sorry, Padgett isn't talking to me right now, so I have to listen to this. He said increasing the volume
Stop it already. I said
Nope! He said humming along the song.
Please stop, it's too loud, fine I’ll stop avoiding you. I said as he stopped talking. Only on one condition.
Wish is?
You buy me something really sexy. I could see him gasped for air then nodded to my words
You’re lucky I can’t stay mad at you… I muttered to his hearing, as we got to the mall, standing in front of these beautiful wears.
