“Hello son!”I moved aside to give Andy some space to come forward. “Dad!” he didn’t smile shock was still there. “Are you not happy to see me?”He blinked as if coming back to reality, “Of course I am,” he smiled, “Come in” “Who is it?” Ed asked.“Long time no see Eddie boy”“Mr. Smith” Ed let out his charming smile and hugged him. “Ah, look at you” I’m sorry, wasn’t Andy his son? Andy and Mr. Smith were supposed to meet like the way he and Ed were meeting and hugging and smiling. “It’s good to see you after all these years, Mr. Smith” I glanced at Andy. Baffled, he stood still. I felt bad for him. Tip toeing my way to his side, I rubbed his back as a gesture of saying, ‘It will be fine” There is nothing wrong in being optimistic.We were seated in the common room. “Don’t you have anything to say to me?”Andy released a mocking snicker, “Oh, I have a lot of things to say. And ask? Like for an instance…why have you never called?”“I had my reasons”“Well please. Share them with m
I drove the car back with the words of Sophia echoing in my head. “Listen to me Lilly, whatever you think was going on between Edward and I, was all false”“It was all false.” I said out to myself.“I came back with my father because he was filing a divorce. Edward was really just helping me through it. He’s gone through one.”“They were not dating. You fool! They weren’t dating,” I laughed at myself. My cheeks were red with the warming truth and ecstasy building inside me.I parked Andy’s car and ran to find Ed. I looked at our usual bench from a distance; not there. However, the gang was still seated there. They looked rather happy. I was passing the ground, scanning every face. There he was! A huge wide smile appeared on my face and I made a run towards him. I almost made a run towards him but I stopped, the smile slowly wavering off.One random girl hugged him and kissed him on his cheek. He smiled at her. I looked at the ground, thwarted. Scoffing to myself I thought, some other t
“Grandma, I’m going to the market. Do you need something?” I called as I rushed towards the front door.“No sweetie, but do bring the stuff we need for the movie,” she shouted from the kitchen.My name is Lily Lodge. I’m 18 years old. People best describe me as a sweet yet strong girl. Maybe that’s because my parents passed away in a car accident w
Tuesday dawned. I gave Mandy my number and offered help whenever she needed it. I owed her. I wore blue fitted jeans and a black T-Shirt to college. With a neat pony tail and black joggers I walked through college grounds.“Lilly?” someone called.I stopped and turned around. What I saw made my heart skip a beat.“Anna?”
My eye’s fluttered open when I heard drawers opening and closing. I got up and saw Ed in light blue jeans and a denim blue shirt with a small towel around his neck. His hair was wet and rough. That gave a very sexy look. He looked at me over his shoulders. “I didn’t wake you, did I?”“No,” then an afterthought struck me, “wait, we’re not late for school because of me right?”
A tall guy dressed in army green shirt and black jeans stood heroically by the stairs. He had black hair and beautiful green eyes. He was striking.“You got a problem?” asked the boy.“This is my best friend’s birthday. I don’t want to create a scene so…” the cute guy started but he was caught off guard when I kicked the boy holding me, between his legs. The boy made a squeaky sound before he passed out. I looked at the cute guy who was completely amazed by what I had just done.
At night, we played the one and only, ‘Truth or Dare.’ They weren’t as many people…well actually it was only the four of us.I know. Sounds boring right?The day was quiet tedious and Anna needed ‘distraction’ because according to her if she did not get a ‘distraction’ she would go mad and kill all of us. Math really does drive people crazy so I don’t blame Anna. She was never really the study or getting good grades type. All that satisfied her wa
The next morning, Anna’s excitement got her up at 6 a.m. which led her into waking all of us after thirty minutes. We left for Montona at 9.Andy was too sleepy and Anna’s energy drained so they both slept at the back while Ed drove and I kept him company. I was very tired but he was too so I decided to stay up.“Go to sleep Lil, I know you’re worn-out. I’ll wake you when we get there,” he said. He saw right through me.
