So, yeah, the story:
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Chapter 3- You're probably thinking that I want those things, cash, cars - diamond rings
Over the next few days, it was quite normal. I got up went to school, came back home again, went to bed, get up etc. you get the picture. Until Saturday that is. I had some free time on my hands- we had no homework, so I decided to go shopping with Jan. We reached the town square and yep, you guessed it.
"Girls! I'm sorry. Please come back!" Here we go again. They were obviously using him. It was like a continuous cycle. Enrique says something trivial, Rosetta and Bianca get upset, walk off in a huff, he does some big, usually expensive gesture, they like him again. Then they go shopping. For 5 days that I've been here I've already heard that they've fallen out about 15 times. That's basically 3 times a day. Enrique must be very rich to keep up with that.
"How I wish that he'd chase after me like that" Jan remarked, blushing slightly.
"Why?" I asked, I needed to find out what was so great about Enrique.
"Well...." She was blushing even more now "If you can't see it already, then you will soon" And with that she walked off and I ran after her, into the furthest shop away from Enrique, puzzled by her remark.
When we were in the shop, Enrique walked in. I dragged Jan behind a clothes rail; she was about to talk to him. I wanted to know what he was doing. I saw him go over to the counter, and take out a credit card. He shouldn't have a credit card at his age. The shop assistant seemed to know him and took out two dresses from behind the counter, one blue and one pink. No surprises who they were for then. Enrique then shook his head and the shop assistant took out another dress from behind the counter, it was lilac. Enrique then smiled and handed over his credit card
"Wonder who that extra dress is for?" Jan whispered to me, "You don't reckon it's for him do you?" We both burst out laughing, disturbing the quiet of the shop and quickly ran out.
We sat at a nearby 'Ristorante', ordering a glass of water and a cake each, so we could spy on him some more. It wasn't my idea. I wanted to go home, but Jan seemed intent on finding out who that dress was for, so I stayed with her.
Rosetta and Bianca were sitting at a table near to us, peering around for Enrique. They had ordered the most expensive things on the menu, and had hardly eaten any of it. They were obviously waiting for him to come and apologise, and pay the bill. Sure enough, here he came. I propped my menu up in front of me, so that he wouldn't spot me.
"Girls! I finally found you!" Doesn't he even know their names? They turned away from him, looking cross
"You upset us Enrique" Rosetta commented. I noticed how when they were mad at him, they didn't say Enrique-poo.
"Yeah, we were really hurt by what you said" Bianca said, looking sulky
"I know I know! I shouldn't have said it, I am such an idiot. Please, accept this as an apology" He handed over a box to each of them, and sure enough, in Bianca's box, there was a blue dress and in Rosetta's box, there was a pink dress.
"Ewwwww, it's pink" Rosetta dropped it back in the box "I can't wear this. You did this on purpose Enrique" She got up and left, giving Enrique major evils.
"Yeah, you know I hate the colour blue, this is no way to treat a lady you know" Bianca complained loudly, turning heads, She also left, and walked off, linking arms with Rosetta.
Enrique flopped down at the table, muttering to himself about how he thought that they liked those colours. The waiter then bought the bill over, thinking that Enrique had been eating there. He took one look at the bill and swore rather loudly. A few older citizens sitting close by started talking about how children these days had no respect.
He then rather reluctantly gave his credit card to the waiter and sat there, looking perplexed.
"I want to go talk to him", Jan said, her eyes shining. I could tell that she wanted that blue dress "But I don't know what to say, will you come with me please?" I agreed, just standing there wouldn't hurt. I'm not going to say anything though.
We walked over to his table and sat down. He looked up, with a big grin on his face.
"Hey, have you two lovely ladies got dates for the disco that's coming up?" I sighed as Jan launched into a stuttery conversation with him. I noticed that he wasn't really paying attention, and as soon as he could, he started talking to me
"Hey, Natalie is it?" Wow, he knows my name. I feel so honoured " Are you going to the disco?" He had a hopeful look in his eyes; I knew what question was coming next, no matter what my answer was.
"Yes" I sighed, We all had to go, it was some charity thing, to raise money for the community, so the poorer people could live in better houses.
"Will you go with me?" At that point, Jan burst into tears and ran away. I immediately got up to go after her. "Well then?" He grabbed my arm, to stop me running off.
"We'll talk some other time Enrique, I have to go now" I broke free of his grip and ran after Jan. When I caught up with her, she wouldn't talk to me. All she would do was push me away and cry some more. It began to get a little tiresome.
"Look" I said, a little annoyed now, "If you'd only tell me what was wrong, then I'd be able to apologise for it or something" It took her five minutes, but through her spluttering words, I could just about work out what she meant.
"What?" I was shocked. She thought that I'd purposely gone to that restaurant and sat at that table, so that Enrique would ask me to the disco and not her. Oh for goodness sake, what an accusation. "That's ridiculous," I said "I turned him down anyway" I lied. Well I basically had.
"Really?" She looked up, and wiped then tears from her face
"Really" I said. She smiled. We're friends now, but probably not for long, seeing as how she'll find out eventually that I didn't actually turn him down.
After a few more hours of hanging around, we went home again. All through the time that we were there and when I was walking home. I felt as if I was being watched, but I am slightly paranoid anyway. I walked home, past Old Tony, again, who was asleep today. I arrived home at 5:00. As soon as I walked through the door, the phone rang.
"I'll get it" My mum shouted, she picked up the phone "Honey! You phoned again. What? You want to speak to Natalie? She's only got in, I have some questions to ask you before you speak to her though. That'll give her time to get in properly" My mum continued her conversation with my brother. I knew that it was him. He was the only one mum called 'Honey' and he hated it.
I went upstairs, hoping to avoid talking to him, but after 15 minutes, my mum called up the stairs
"Natalie! Your brother wants to talk to you" Great, I grudgingly walked down the stairs, grumbling
"Hello" I muttered into the phone, I was till mad at Hugo, I didn't want to talk to him
"Hi Natalie, how are you?"
"Fine" Short answers were best, that way I'd get to hang up quicker
"How's my favourite sister?"
"I'm your only sister and you just asked me that. I'm fine"
"Oh, You don't sound fine, you sound grumpy"
"I'm fine" I put more emphasis on the word fine this time, hoping that he's realise how much this call was costing in a minute and have to go, actually I hope that I waste a lot of his money, that way he'll be sorry for leaving.
"If you say so. So anyway, I heard that you started a new school, how is that?"
"Fine"
"Can you say anything else?"
"Yes" My mum, than nudged me and told me to stop being so rude. The doorbell then rang and she went off to answer it
"Look, if you're still mad at me for leaving, then just say and I'll stop talking to you and I won't bother coming to visit"
"You're coming to visit?" I asked, suddenly more interested
"Yeah, well, if you want me to that is"
"Have you told mum?"
"No, it's a surprise, for her birthday"
"That's a great idea, she'll really appreciate it. How long for?"
"2 weeks, then I'm moving again"
"Oh" He always moved, everywhere, even more than we all used to, as a family. "When are you coming?"
"Soon, I don't know exactly when, but don't tell mum. It was nice talking to you, but have to go now, bye bye"
"Bye" I said as he hung up. I replaced the phone on the wall and my mum came in
"What were you talking about?" She asked, more questions.
"Nothing" I quickly said. "Who was at the door?"
"Oh that, it was for you, a delivery. They bought these" She took out a basket of purple Tulips, Irises, Lobelias and Violets. I love the colour purple, how could he have known? Of course, I had told the class about me and those girls must have told him.
There was a card with it too. I opened it, my mum looked very curious. It was a plain card and inside it just had one word: Please? I tutted and put it down on the table. Muttering about Enrique being so desperate.
"Well, who's it from" My mum asked, picking up the flower basket "This is very pretty, it looks expensive"
"I don't know" I lied. Two lies in one day, both about the same person, that's not like me.
I took the flowers up to my room and put them on my windowsill. I sighed; he is so desperate, as if sending me things is going to make a difference.
Over the next week, I received many different items to my door. Jewellery, money, more flowers, clothes, food and lots of cards, all bearing the word 'Please'. They all cluttered up a corner of my room.
Next Saturday, I went downstairs to find that a little kitten had been delivered to the door. It was fluffy and ginger, with little white paws. It's amber eyes looked up at me as it mewed. It had a green collar around it's neck and on it's tag it said: Pumpkin.
I fell in love with it instantly. My mum looked disapproving as I hugged Pumpkin, she didn't like animals, but I didn't care. I was keeping it.
Jan was coming to my house later, so we could go to the town centre. I went up to my room, still cradling Pumpkin, to stuff all the Enrique stuff in the cupboard,just in case she came up there so she wouldn't see and get jealous.
She arrived about an hour later. Meanwhile, I was playing with Pumpkin. I was starting to like Enrique now, a kitten! But only for that, nothing else. I need to thank him, I wonder if he'll be at the town square. But if Jan's there, then I can't.
We got to the town square about 2 hours later. My mum had made us stay for lunch and then I had to introduce Jan to Pumpkin. When we got there, the sky was clouding over and looked quite dark. I spotted him immediately from the noise coming from the other side of the square.
Begging again.
Yet again, they walked off, he then spotted me and Jan and strolled over.
"Hey" He said, grinning.
"Hi" I said, Jan didn't say anything, she seemed to have gone off Enrique a bit.
"Can I talk to you over there Natalie?" He asked. Jan shrugged and walked off to sit on the fountain.
"Firstly, I want to say thank you for all the things you sent me"
"S'ok" He grinned at me "So you guessed it was me then"
"Who else would?" I said, wanting to get away from him, hew as going to ask me to that stupid disco soon, it was tomorrow anyway.
"Oh yeah" He moved a little closer to me, so I backed off even more "Well, will you go to the disco with me now?"
I groaned, "It doesn't quite work like that Enrique" He looked puzzled, so I continued, "I'm not like them" I gestured to Rosetta and Bianca who were watching us from a distance away. "I can't like you for your money, or the fact that you give me lots of presents. I have to like you"
"I don't understand" He looked really confused, I felt like laughing, "What do you mean, you have to like me? Everyone loves me" He grinned, but his smile soon disappeared as I explained using much stronger language.
"Oh, I get it." He looked so forlorn. I'd never seen him look upset
"Fine. If I go with you to this stupid disco, will you leave me alone? And stop sending me things?"
He looked as if he was struggling with himself internally, as if sending gifts was his life, but he finally replied, "Ok babe, see you tomorrow, I'll come and pick you up at 7:00 and wear this." He than handed over a box, similar to the ones he gave to Rosetta and Bianca a week ago. I knew what was in it. The dress I'd see him buy before.
He then winked at me and walked off, with a slight spring in his step.
It started to rain slightly as I turned around to talk to Jan, but I couldn't see her, all I could see was Rosetta and Bianca walking up to me, looking very angry. What have I got myself into now?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Well, that was the 3rd chapter.
I may not update for about 2 weeks now, cos we've got exams and I need to revise and I can't type this when I'm supposed to be revising and doing exams. But you never know, I may be able to, I can't be sure.
Please read and review, thanks
