CH. 8
"We don't work that way, Miya." He said while my name slid off his tongue so smoothly. He still had the attention of my eyes upon his and I felt as though maybe just maybe I could actually trust him.
"It isn't that wasy there are people still who will. Besides I need to go home to see my dad any ways, he's been gone since late last night and I didn;'t get to see him yesterday." I lied to him while finally finding the strength inside to pull my eyes away from his and start walking back to my home. Wait, strike that my house, not home. Home is back at the base where my mother was buried.
He grabbed my wrist and this time he had it tightly in his hand. Not tightly as in hurting but as if he didn't want me to go and I actually think that my stomach did a flip. He turned me around and asked.
"Why are you leaving its not like any of us are going to let you guys get made fun of or anything. But if you want go home." I stared at him and tried to look through his eyes but I couldn't. I always thought people could see a person from the inside out through their eyes but looks like I was wrong.
"House... my house not home my home is back where my mom was buried." I told him and started off on my own once again. I heard him start to retreat and felt a slight bit disappointed on how he didn't try once more. But I brushed it off, I told them that when I said no it meant no and for once I slightly regretted it. I looked at the cherry blossom trees on the sides of the sidewalk I was walking on. They were bare and looked dead and lifeless. Little shops wre now covered in a slight cover of snow. It was like something u would see in a movie. Like the perfect little Christmas town with all the decorations and stuff, even tho it was like a week or so away.
I walked upon my porch and took a deep breath. I let it out slowly before entering the big house and closed the door behind me. I heard talking in the other room and decided to see who it was. I slid around the corner and ended up on my butt infront of who ever they were. When I looked to the side and saw who it was I let out a sigh of relief.
"Hey Mr. And Mrs. Denray, what are you guys doing here?" I asked casually as I plopped down onto the sofa across from them. I saw my dad come back with three drinks in his hands and he looked me up and down and raised an eyebrow.
"I thought you would be with Tom and his friends. Why aren't you?" he asked curiously. Hey I didn't say he was like a wicked step dad I just said we had our differences. We don't really talk all that much and he does disapprove of stuff I do but other wise we're cool with each other. Its kind of like living with one of your dads friends whose your guardian or something like it. But that's something we do have in common we both don't show our emotions to others that often.
"I didn't feel like it, ... besides you're actually home for a change so why not stay?" I asked while laying myself down on the sofa. He just shrugged but then I heard a ding and then Mrs. Denray jumped up and ran to the kitchen. I stood and followed her to see why she ran into the kitchen. As I walked in my nose was met with a sweet vanilla and spice sent. I opened my eyes to see Mrs. Denray taking out a batch of her home made vanilla and spice cookies with another batch that were chocolate chip. I smiled my favorite were chocolate chip and Tom's was vanilla and spice cookies. She was smiled at me her skinny face knowing my satisfaction. I smiled back when she hand me a big plate of chocolate chip cookies and I felt my mouth water.
"You know what? I think I might just get off my diet today, I mean these look way too good to resist!" I said in excitement as we both laugh and started to walk out to the patio together. I sat on the top porch step and she sat on the one below me. I set the plate down next to me and started to demolish them in seconds. One by one o could taste the chocolate chips melting in my mouth and dissolving quickly only to go to my sides and thighs. I frowned at the thought but shook my head and started on another.
"So from what I hear from Tom you decided to help the school's team out and be their dance captain? That sounds good for you sweet heart, ... I mean after everything that has happened it'll be good to get some good points in your life instead of dwelling on the bad." She told me with a smile and patted my leg. I smiled as I saw her take one of the cookies and we both laughed at how much we said we would stay strict on the diet but never did. I looked at the sunset and I could see all the peaceful colors combining to become black soon. I loved the night, especially since it was snowing cause it looked so beautiful especially in a sunset or at least I thought so. But it was my first time seeing the sunset when it was snowing unless in pictures the military brought back.
"Maybe you're right. I just have a hard time now that after everything has happened. But it helps a lot to have Tom there. He's the one that keeps me out of trouble and stuff and then I help him by giving him a ride." I said a laugh and she laughed right along. We stopped soon and I noticed that it had been some time since the little episode me and wonder boy had. I mean after I was on my way home I kind of wandered around then went home then helped with cookies and now it was a good 10 mins. We ahd been out here talking. And I did wander the streets a good while, but then again time changes already and it gets darker faster so.
"Oh, well if you need anything sweet heart you know that we're here and I know Tom always talks about you every day getting better along with people. I know that when your dad hears it, it makes him feel better not so stressed I guess." She said aloud to me and she soon noticed I was a little too quiet. Dad actually caring what happened like that and sharing his feelings with others? That was impossible.
"Oh honey , I know you think that your dad doesn't care but he does so much, ... in fact he was just telling us how much you reminded him of your mother. And how he wished he was here more. Oh all I'm saying is that well. Your dad has never been good at telling people how he felt I mean to Mr. Denray it was fine since they had known each other all their lives, and your mother! Oh lord she had to literally drag it out of him!" She said with another laugh and I had to smile. It was funny trying to imagine mom trying to get dad to tell her he loved her when they were younger like around my age. Hmmm, Mrs. Denray always knew the right things to say and was now like a second mother to me. She helped me through all the girl things, especially when it came to talking about guys and about me "growing" up.
She stood up after eating one more cookie and stepped over me while telling me she needed to get back in and that I shouldn't stay out here that much longer since it was getting really cold out. I saw headlights down the rode then found a mustang GT convertible that was nay yet looked black came driving into our drive way. Tom and wonder boy got out of the car, and then a Mercedes that was red came up and Tala and Rox got out, then last a nice lime green corvette came up and Mariah and Ray stepped out heading with the others up to me at the porch. Tom must've seen the plate cause he whistled at it and I jerked my head to the house to indicate that his were in there and no one were to touch mine. They all came up so I got up on the porch's swing and started to eat more of my cookies. Mariah and all them smiled at me and she ended up with to of Tom's cookies like everyone else and came out to see me. To visit me I had no idea why, then again I was their captain so I guess I forgot a lot of the time I was.
"You know Miya it would've been easier if you came to actually try the stuff on. Luckily Tom here knew your size." Rox said while shoving a cookie into her mouth but not before Tala had her in his arms and had taken a bite out of her cookie. Tala and Rox were in each other's arms trying to keep warm with a cover over them while on the floor leaning against the wall. Ray and Mariah snuggled together too and were all wrapped up in a blanket while the sat against the post while they laid themselves across the gate part. Tom was sitting on the other side of the gate letting his legs dangle, and wonder boy ended up beside me. I was sitting on the porch's swing with my knees scrunched up to my chin and m arms wrapped around them while listening. I had the blanket very snug around me and wonder boy had himself wrapped up as well.
"What are you talking about?" I asked non-chantingly to her while savoring my second to last cookie. Mariah beamed as she told me about what they were planning to do.
"Well, Kai said you agreed to go shopping with us so we got you a whole new ward robe!" She exclaimed and I could feel my face being drained of color as I noticed that meant that I would have to wear them since they got me it and took and spent a lot of their time and money on them. This was just great at first I thought being talked about was pretty bad but this. Well this took the cake. It wasn't until I noticed I hadn't said anything that Tom jabbed me in the ribs as he collected everyones dishes and gave me a look.
"Ummm, ... thanks a lot." I half mumbled half said while I felt like grimacing at that specific moment. But then unexpectantly she grabbed my hand and jerked me too my feet while everyone got up too.
"C'mon let's have you try on the clothes!" She said excitedly and I was pretty sure I saw a flicker of happiness in wonder boy's eyes. I grimaced to myself as I looked at the bags and bags of clothes that were on my bed, floor, dresser, and over on my computer desk. Everyone sat somewhere so they could see me come out of my bathroom after each change of clothes. Tala through me a bag full of clothes and that started the nightmare of the fashion shoot I would be doing for all of them and might I add it was unwillingly.
