So this would have been Chapter 50 if I didn't post a notice up before this chapter. This will probably be a one-off chapter for a while, I've had this chapter written since February and decided to post it up because it's going to waste on my laptop. I'm still not sure what is going on with this story, I'm waiting for Phantom1313 to answer my messages back and when I know what is happening I'll post up another notice. Thanks for the Reviews, Alerts and to the unknown people who read my story.
Also I've got a DeviantArt account now, I'll be drawing a few scenes/characters from my stories and posting them up on there when I've got a chance. I warn you my drawings may suck, I've done some really good drawings in my time and that's when I put some effort into it. The address for my DA profile is on my fanfiction profile.
R&R?
I hope you enjoy this chapter :)
21st of January 2016 - 2:36pm
Eva smiled as she peeped through the window of her Uncle's car, she sighed when she saw him asleep in the driver's seat of his car and placed her shopping bags down on the ground with a plastic cup of takeaway hot chocolate. She opened the back door of his car, she placed her shopping bags on the backseat of the car and closed the back door. She quickly picked the hot chocolate up from the ground as she opened the passager's side door, she got into the car and closed the door.
" Uncle Aiden, I'm back now!" Smiled Eva, she looked over at her sleeping Uncle as she smirked and poked at his arm with her finger tip." Wake up sleepy head! I've brought you some toffee and hot chocolate!"
Eva watched her Uncle stir in his sleep, she sighed as she took a white paper bag of toffee from her shoulder bag and placed her bag down on the floor of the car . She opened the white paper bag, she took a toffee from the bag and popped it into her mouth. She pulled her legs to her chest, she glanced over at the car's radio and smirked as she took a sip of the hot chocolate. She slowly reached her hand out towards the radio, she turned the knob on it and chuckled as the volume turned up on the radio.
" Wake up!" Shouted Eva, she laughed as she watched her Uncle jump up in his seat and bang his head against the ceiling of his car." Come on sleepy head! Get up and go!"
" Eva! What the hell?!" Whined A, he sat back in his seat and ran his fingers through his blonde hair as he groaned." God damn it! That hurt!"
" I'm sorry..." Said Eva quietly, she turned the volume back down on the radio and held the bag of toffee towards her Uncle as she gave him a sweet smile." I brought you some toffee and hot chocolate. It's just a little thank you gift for the money..."
"Toffee?" Asked A, he looked at the bag of toffee in Eva's hand and smiled a little bit." What kind of toffee are we talking about here?"
" English cream, your favorite..." Answered Eva, she gently shook the bag of toffee at her Uncle and giggled.' All for you, that's if you can forgive me...'
" Well, I guess I could forgive you this time...' Sighed A, he took the bag of toffee from Eva's hand and smiled.' You're 13 and hormonal. I guess sometimes you don't know what you're doing, keep hold of the hot chocolate for me until we get home...'
" What?" Asked Eva, she placed her feet down on the car's floor and put her seat-belt on as she sighed." I know what I'm doing, well only half the time anyway..."
" True, you're still that little girl with the messy pigtails to me..." Chuckled A.
" Shut up!" Smirked Eva.
" So, what did buy?" Asked A, he placed his bag of toffee down on the car's dashboard and put his seat-belt on." Hopefully nothing to grown up, you're still a kid after all..."
" Just stuff..." Answered Eva.
" Why don't I like the sound of that..." Sighed A, he started up his car's engine and looked over his shoulder as he reversed his car out of the parking space." I guess I can't wrap you up in cotton wool forever, but as your guardian I get to make a few decisions for you still until you turn 18..."
" But I'll be a young adult at 16 in England..." Smirked Eva, she took another sip of the hot chocolate and licked her lips." Why do I have to wait until I'm 18 to make my own decisions?"
" Those are just the rules, I just don't want you to grow up to fast like your parents and I had to. I want you to enjoy your life for a bit first, hang out with your friends and just have fun..." Answered A as he drove towards the exit of the car park and sighed." Also no dating until you're at least 50 or maybe 60. I've not decided yet..."
" What?!" Gasped Eva.
" Those are the rules until you tell me who you're crushing on..." Chuckled A.
" That's not fair!" Frowned Eva.
" Life's not fair, deal with it..." Smirked A as he drove his car out of the car park.
At The Apartment - 5:07PM
Eva pulled her pink pajama top over her head, she put it on and grabbed her yellow pajama bottoms from her bed. She put them on, she picked her hair brush up from her dressing table and looked at her reflection in her mirror. She brush her fringe away from her eyes with her hand to reveal her red eyes and sighed deeply to herself.
" Please change back to blue, I don't want to look like this anymore..." Frowned Eva, she looked down at her Mum's necklace in the little opened black box and sighed." I wish you were here Mum, I bet you would know what to do..."
Eva closed the little box's lid, she tapped her hair brush against her chin and walked over to her bedroom door. She opened the door, she brushed her long dark hair as she walked through her bedroom doorway and stopped when she saw her Uncle talking on her mobile phone in the kitchen.
" Uncle Aiden, what are doing on my phone?!" Asked Eva.
" Alright, I'll get her to ring you all tomorrow..." Sighed A, he looked over at Eva and gave her smile." Wait! She is here now, give me moment..."
" Who is it?" Asked Eva, she stopped brushing her hair and bit at her bottom lip as watched her Uncle take her mobile phone away from his ear ." What's going on?"
" It's Blaze, Bat and Dusk..." Answered A, he held Eva's phone against his chest and ran his fingers through his hair." They want to talk to you, why don't you say hello to them. They're on speaker phone at their end..."
" Please don't make me talk to them..." Said Eva quietly, she looked down at her feet and sighed as she glanced up at her Uncle." I'll ring them tomorrow, I did tell Blaze I would ring him after my... birthday..."
" Come on, just a quick hello..." Smiled A, he took a step away from the kitchen counter and took a toffee from his jean pocket." They want to talk to you before they have their breakfast, don't be cruel..."
Eva slightly shook her head at her Uncle as she looked up at him from the floor, she quietly closed her bedroom door and leant back against it.
" Alright, I'll tell them..." Sighed A as he held Eva's mobile phone back against his ear and put his hand in his jean pocket." She still isn't feeling very well, but she promises that she'll ring you guys tomorrow. Is that okay?"
Eva watched her Uncle talking on her phone, she placed her hair brush down on a wooden side table next to her bedroom door and stood up straight. She tucked some of her hair behind her ear and watched her Uncle end the call on her mobile phone.
" That was kind of rude Eva, why don't you want to talk to your friends?" Asked A, he placed her mobile phone down on the kitchen counter and sighed." They only wanted to know how you were, Nonie must have told them you weren't very well. I guess it's easier saying your ill than telling them what is really going on..."
" I did tell Blaze I would ring him after my birthday, I guess he wasn't listening to me when I told him as normal..." Answered Eva, she twirled a piece of her hair around her finger and sighed." Uncle A, can I buy coloured contact lenses if my eyes don't go back to their normal colour?"
" Short stuff, your eyes have only been red for a day..." Answered A, he unwrapped his toffee and popped it into his mouth." Just give it a couple of days and then we'll see..."
" Okay, thank you..." Sighed Eva.
" So, I thought you were going to show me what you brought with the money I gave you..." Smiled A, he screwed up his toffee wrapper in his hand and threw it in the dustbin." But you seem to be dressed in your pajamas, unless you've brought some new clothes that are styled like pajamas. It wouldn't surprise me much with teenage fashion these days, they could wear a bin bag and call it a fashion statement..."
" You're weird..." Smirked Eva as she tucked some of her hair behind her other ear and bit at her bottom lip." I will show you what I brought tomorrow, I also got my ears pierced..."
" Yeah I noticed..." Smiled A.
" Are you not mad about it?" Asked Eva.
" No, I think they suit you..." Answered A as he put his hands in his jean pockets and blew his fringe away from his eyes." So, what do you want to do for the rest of the day?"
" Well, I thought about just lounging around the apartment for the rest of the day..." Answered Eva, she walked over to her Uncle's metal DVD rack and scanned down the movies with her finger tip." I thought we could watch a movie together and have a catch up. I know our movie night didn't go to plan yesterday, but we could try again..."
" I know, why don't you choose a movie and I'll grab a bag of popcorn from the cupboard...' Smiled A.
" But we've not had our dinner yet, we'll ruin it..." Sighed Eva, she looked at her Uncle over her shoulder and smiled." I thought you were going to make dinner well I was getting changed. Did you change your mind?"
" Well, I was kind of in the middle of deciding what to make you for your dinner before Blaze rang..." Answered A, he walked over to a cupboard near the strove and opened it wide." But then I discovered that there was not much in, so I was thinking about ordering us a takeaway instead. So, what kind of takeaway do you fancy?"
" Can we have pizza? I'm not really that hungry yet though, but you can order it if you're hungry..." Answered Eva, she looked back at the DVDs and took one from the rack." I had a sandwich at the Mall, so I'll be okay for a few more hours yet..."
" Pizza it is then!" Answered A as he took a bag of toffee flavored popcorn from the cupboard and closed it." I'll be okay for a few hours too, I'll order it after we've watched a movie. So, what are we watching?"
" Warm Bodies..." Answered Eva, she turned around to face her Uncle and smiled." I always wanted to see it, but Mr Ruvie was always a spoil sport and use to tell us that zombies movies would rot your mind. He also said it would turn us into mindless drones when we grown up, I don't see how that could happen just from watching a movie..."
" Roger as always been a spoil sport as you put it, I swear he doesn't have a funny bone in his entire body..." Chuckled A as he grabbed a plastic blue bowl from the draining board and placed it down on the counter." You know, he use to hang around outside mine and your Dad's room at night when we were students. Hopefully it's improved since he retired, I hear May is doing a good job running the Wammy House on the behalf of her Uncle. I've actually not met her yet, but she seems nice when I've spoken to her over the phone. Who knew Roger had a kind relative..."
" She is really nice!" Smiled Eva as she read the back of the DVD case and bit at her bottom lip." I prefer her over Mr Ruvie, she listens to you if you've got a problem and helps you with your homework if you get stuck..."
" Is she hot?" Asked A.
" Uncle Aiden!" Laughed Eva as she looked up from the DVD case at her Uncle and smiled." Gross! Don't say things like that about May, she really is a good teacher and headmistress..."
" Sorry..." Chuckled A, he opened up the bag of popcorn and tipped it into the plastic bowl." Go and put the DVD on. I'll be with you in moment..."
" Okay!" Smiled Eva.
Eva walked over to the television, she switched it on and put the DVD in the DVD player. She walked over to the sofa and sat down on it. She picked the DVD remote up from the coffee table, she smiled at her Uncle when he sat down next to her and pressed play on the remote.
" Do you want to hold the bowl of popcorn?" Asked A, he held the bowl towards Eva and put his feet up on the coffee table." I'll just eat it all if you don't, then you'll complain that you didn't get much and I'll start to feel guilty over it..."
" That hasn't happened since I was 6..." Laughed Eva, she placed the DVD remote down on the arm of the sofa next to her Uncle and curled her legs under herself." We haven't done this for a long time, I missed it..."
" Well it's hard to spend time together when you're in England and I'm working all over the place..." Smiled A.
" I know..." Sighed Eva, she took a hand full of popcorn from the plastic bowl and smiled." Can I move back to Los Angeles when I turn 18?"
" Of course, but that's years away yet..." Answered A as he popped a piece of popcorn into his mouth and chewed it slowly." So, how's school? I see your grade as slipped in mathematics again, nothing as happened to affect your studies right?"
" No, I just find maths really boring sometimes..." Answered Eva quietly, she stuffed her handful of popcorn into her mouth and wiped her hand on her pajama top." I lose interest in it, but I like science. I would like to be a doctor someday, I don't know what kind of doctor yet though or maybe a detective like you!"
" You're Dad would turn in his grave if he just heard what you said..." Chuckled A, he took a handful of popcorn from the bowl and stuffed it into his mouth. " I'm not a detective short stuff..."
" Then what is your job?" Asked Eva.
" I don't know, people just hire me to do things for them..." Answered A, he took another handful of popcorn from the bowl and turned his attention to the television." Quiet now, the movie is starting..."
" Oh..." Frowned Eva, she rested her head on her Uncle's shoulder and sighed." Will you tell me about my Mum and Dad's wedding now?"
" I thought you wanted to watch a movie..." Answered A.
" I do, but we can talk at the same time..." Smiled Eva.
" Alright, what do you want to know?" Asked A.
" Everything!" Smiled Eva, she stared up at her Uncle from his shoulder and twirled a piece of her hair around her finger as she spoke quickly to him." Was is romantic? Did my Mum wear a puffy dress? Did they have cake? What did Dad wear? Did they get to kiss? What was the date when they got married? Were you Dad's best man? Did Nonie and Blaze get to go to the wedding too? Do they have those caravans you see in prison movies where they..."
" Whoa!" Interrupted A, he placed the plastic bowl of popcorn down on the coffee table and leant back on the sofa as he crossed his arms." Slow down Eva, one question at a time and that's a big no for what you were about to say..."
" I'm sorry, but I'm dying to know about their wedding and I want you to tell me everything that you can remember!" Smiled Eva, she put her finger tip to her lips and sighed." I'm still a bastard though ain't I?"
" Language!" Sighed A.
" But it's true!" Frowned Eva, she bit at her bottom lip and sighed to herself." I was born before my parents were married and that makes me a bastard..."
" Do you want to know about your parents wedding or not?" Asked A.
" Yes please, tell me!" Answered Eva, she rested her head on her Uncle's shoulder again and smiled." I want to know about it so badly, I wish I could remember it..."
" Okay, where shall I begin..." Mumbled A, he picked his DVD remote up from the arm of the sofa and paused the movie as he cleared his throat." They got married on the 18th of August 2006, you were about 3 years old at the time and their wedding was pretty simple. Your Mum just wore a plain short white dress and your Dad somehow managed to get hold of a suit. They were married by a Prison Minister, It was quick and then we drank juice to congratulate the happy couple..."
" You drank juice at a wedding for a toast?" Asked Eva as she quickly sat up on the sofa and smiled at her Uncle." What kind of wedding services juice to congratulate a union of love? There should have been champagne, a big wedding cake, beautiful flowers, music and candles!"
" You forget they were married in a prison..." Answered A, he itched the back of his head with his DVD remote and chewed at his bottom lip." It was hard enough getting permission for the wedding, so many forms to fill in and fees. I'm so glad I had a panda detective on my side back then, he managed to pull a few strings after a lot of begging on your Mum's behalf. I'm surprised he gave in to your Mum to be honest, L wasn't the most easy person to persuade..."
" But still, it should have been special day for them both..." Sighed Eva as she looked away from her Uncle and took a cushion from the sofa." Were they happy?"
" I think they were, they seemed happy to me..." Answered A.
" That's good to know..." Smiled Eva as she looked back at her Uncle and placed the cushion between them." I'm kind of getting hungry, can you order that pizza now?"
" Sure..." Answered A, he placed his DVD remote back on the arm of the sofa and placed his feet down on the floor." What kind do you fancy?"
" Any, but no pineapple..." Answered Eva as she pulled a piece of cotton from the cushion and bit at her bottom lip." I don't like pineapple on pizza, shall I make us some tea well we wait for the pizza?"
" If you want, I'll go and ring them now then..." Answered A, he got up from the sofa and picked his mobile phone up from the coffee table." Do you want garlic bread to go with the pizza?"
" I don't mind, it's up to you..." Answered Eva, she got up from the sofa and cupped her hands together behind her back as she smiled sweetly up at her Uncle." Uncle Aiden, I need to ask you something..."
" Sure, What's up?" Asked A.
" Will you help me paint my nails later on please?" Asked Eva, she wrapped her arms around her Uncle's waist and smiled up at him." I remember you painting your nails when I was little and I just wondered if you would show me how to paint them perfectly. You always seem to never make a mess of your nails, also do you know how to apply eyeliner?"
" Oh so we're having a girls night in now?" Asked A, he ruffled up Eva's hair and smiled down at her." I'm not to sure about eyeliner though, maybe it's something you should ask Nonie or Dusk about when you go back to the Wammy House. I'm not good with girl stuff..."
" Please, I know you use to wear eyeliner years ago..." Pouted Eva.
" Wait, I've never wore eyeliner!" Frowned A.
" Yes you did! I've seen photographs of you wearing some..." Smirked Eva, she pulled herself away from her Uncle and giggled." Auntie Nonie showed me, you were wearing some at Blaze's first birthday party too..."
" Great, my secrets are out..." Sighed A as he flicked open his mobile phone and chewed at his bottom lip." Why don't you go and make us some tea now. I'll ring for pizza and then we can have a little chat about make up related stuff later on..."
" What about the movie?" Asked Eva.
" We've got time to do both..." Answered A as he put his mobile phone against his ear and smiled at Eva." But you're not doing my nails, I don't trust you with nail polish..."
" But I was only 4 when I painted your nails pink, I didn't mean to do it..." Smirked Eva.
" I'm taking no chances with you around..." Chuckled A.
" Okay, I'll go and put the kettle on then..." Sighed Eva as she walked over to the kitchen.
