Chapter 1
~*~ The Surprise! ~*~
It all started when my parents decided to take my sister away for the week. They left me incharge of the house. My boyfriend of 3 years had come up to Maine that same week to visit me. He was staying in a hotel in the next town. It was like a 15-minute drive from my house to the hotel. A few hours after my family left my phone rang. "Hello." I answered.
"Hi Keng. I thought you'd be in Lewiston by now." My bestfriend Jaimie said.
"Nah. I'm cleaning up before I go get him." I answered.
"Keng. Greg doesn't care what your house looks like, he just wants to see you."
"Yeah I know that." "Then go get him." "I can't. I'm cleaning up after Jess. She left all her stuff in the living room, to the point where there is no where's to sit down, because she doesn't put her stuff on the floor. She puts it in the chairs and ion the couch!" "Oh I get it now." "Yeah. But I got to go I got another call. I'll be over to get you in a few minutes." "Why are you coming to get me? You need to go see Greg on your own. He's not my boyfriend." "Yeah I know but I have, well we have, a surprise for you. So be ready to go when I come up the drive way." "Ok. I will be. Byes." "Byes." I said and hung up. I put the phone down on the table and it rang. "Hello." I answered again. "Hi hun. When are you coming? Matt and I are waiting. We can't wait to see you." "And Jaimie!" Matt said in the background. "Dude shut up. You don't know if she's there. Remember she doesn't know you are here. She actually doesn't know any of you guys are here. She thinks its just me." Greg said. "I know. I'm sorry." "Hey, Matt, don't be sorry she's not here. I'm going to get her in a minute." I said. "Ok then are you coming to get us?" Greg asked. "Yes I'm coming to get you after that." "Promise?" "Yes I promise." "Ok then go get Jaimie and come over here as fast as possible, k." "Ok but what's the rush we have three days maybe four." "I know but I can't wait any longer to see you. I've been in Maine for 12 hours and I can't stand not seeing you when we're 15 minutes away, babe. So please, hurry." "He's having Kendra withdrawal." Jesse said taking the phone. "Oh poor baby. Ok I'll hurry up." "Ok, but one more thing. Bring a car I can drive because Matt and I have a surprise for you and Jaimie." "Ok I'll bring my Beatle. Is that ok?" "Yes babe that's fine. Now go get Jaimie. I'll let you go." "Ok. Fine be that way." "Ok fine I will." He said. "Ok then bye." "Bye. I love you.' He said. "I know you do. I love you too. I'll see you in a few. Tell everyone there I said hi. But I got to go Jaimie waiting." "Ok bye. I'll see you in a few.' "Ok byes." I said and hung up. 'Hmm' I wondered. 'What could they have planned for us?' I went to get Jaimie, and we went to the hotel. Greg was waiting in the hall for us. "There's my girl!" he said walking over to me and whisking me off my feet. "And Jaimie how are you?" He asked putting me down and giving her a hug. "Me, I'm fine.' "Fine but nervous." I added. "Why are you nervous?" Greg asked. "Because I hate surprises." "Ohh. Well how does this sound to you? I've got two surprises for ya. One is upstairs in my room, and the other, well let's just say the other we have to go to." He said putting his arms around our shoulders. We got up to the room, and Greg knocked on the door three times. Matt answered the door. "Omg!" Jaimie screamed. "Surprise." I said. "Yeah surprise. Now that you've seen this surprise. Keys. Let's go." Greg said pushing me down the hall. "Wait can't I say to my cousin?" I said. "When you get back if I'm not sleeping we can talk Kendra. Greg's on a roll. and I don't want to slow him down." Frankie said. "Ok we'll talk later. Byes." "Bye Kendra." Jesse yelled from the doorway. "Bye Jesse. Love ya hun." "Love you too." "Oh so you love Jesse now. Maybe he should take you and ask you to." "And ask me to.? Finish please, finish." "Um. And ask you to. give him a back massage. Yeah a back-massage. Right Matt?" Greg said hitting Matt in the arm. "Uh. Yeah ask you to give him a back-massage. Hey Jaimie I'll race you to that pretty light purple Beatle out there." "Alright but only if you sit next to me inside it!" She said. Matt turned around and looked at Greg. "Hey man I'm not going to stop you from sitting next to you're girlfriend. I know where I'm going." "Ah. But Jaimie and me don't. So tell us." I tried. "Haha nice try. That's why Matt and I have blindfolds." Greg said pulling a blindfold out of his back pocket, as Matt and Jaimie ran to my car. He put it over my eyes. "Greg. Why do I need a blindfold?" "So you don't know where we're going til we get there." He answered tying it to my head. "How many fingers am I holding up?" "How am I supposed to know I have this bandanna wrapped around my head. How am I getting to the car?" I answered. "Like this." He said picking me up and carrying me to the car. "Ok that was fun. Does Jaimie have to wear one of these blindfolds too?" "Yeah Keng. Matt's putting it on me right now. I still don't get why we have to ware these things." "Would you two just go with us on this for once in your life. Now come on. We have to get going. It's getting late." Greg said. "Gregy. did we make you mad?" "No I just have things set in my mind and I'm on a time limit." "Well then. help me into the car so we can go." "Alright, now that's the spirit. Let Matt get in, then you can get in. Ok ready?" He said helping me into the car. "And these two helpless girls would be blindfolded because." Someone asked. "Chris." I said. "Chris where I can't see him." Jaimie said. "Duah you can't see him, you're blindfolded." Matt said. "Ya know if I wasn't blindfolded I'd slap you but I can't find your face!" Jaimie said. "Hi Kendra. How's Mrs. Raposo?" "I'm fine!" "WHAT!" Jaimie shrieked. "Jaimie shh." Matt said covering her mouth. "God, Jaimie, you've known me long enough to know Kendra and I joke around like that. You too Greg. You didn't need to hit me." "Ok Chris. It was nice seeing ya. But we have to g-o. Go." "Yeah we have to g-o Chris. Ya know go. Like the cars gonna drive itself Greg!" I said. "Yeah, yeah. Give me a break." "Ok. But you're the one with the time limit."
