~ Chapter 18 ~
I arranged a pile of pancakes on a plate. Taking the pan off of the cooker, I cleaned the countertop. It wasn't so sparkling when I started cooking but I suspect Scott doesn't even clean his own house.
I dabbed the rag around a few times the moment my phone rang I picked it.
"Hey Adrianna!" It's actually been a while since we spoke. And by her tone, I'll say she's got a favour to ask.
"Hey Stormy. Can we see? I need to ask you something"
For some reason I don't know, I stared around to see if Scott was out.
"Sure. Tomorrow?"
"Great. Thanks Stormy"
The line went dead and I placed my phone on the counter. I don't have much friends here. Adrianna is pretty much my only friend. Apart from David that is.
"Who were you talking to?" Scott asked as he walked into his kitchen with nothing but loose pants and I was left to stare at his tattooed ches

David cleared out both his plate and mine before insisting to wash the dishes. My phone vibrated but I ignored it. It's probably Scott trying to tell me to make David leave."Movie?" I asked him immediately we sat on the comfortable sofa. I grabbed the remote."Sure. What do you like to watch?""You really don't want to watch the movies i watch" I said with a little chuckle."Try me""Two broke girls it is then"Half way into the movie and I was full on laughing. David didn't find it so funny but weird. But he laughed a couple of times. Especially the part Carol got compressed by a bed.My phone vibrated and I checked the new message.Why aren't you picking my calls?I smiled. Some few hours and he's already jumping my bones out. If you ask me, I'd say he misses me already but proud Scott would never admit that. I

Scott immediately transfered his hands from his sides to my waist pulling me close to him. His body heat warming me up to the best it could. There was another movement behind and Scott stiffened."Stormy dear" Danielle came into the garden. Worry for her nephew was etched all over her face but when she saw how calm he was now, she smiled. "Both of you come in. It's getting real cold out"I looked at Scott and he was throwing me get me out of here glances. I took his hands in mine leading him back to the house. Daniel and his dad, Carter sat by the counter dipping into salad bowls. David smiled when he saw me."Stay for dinner?" Danielle asked us."No""Yes" both I and Scott say at the same time. I glared at him and he was looking far away, out into the garden in the distance. I tugged at his arm. "We'll stay for dinner" I smiled at Danielle and she nodded before walking off.

I folded my hair around my finger. A habit I had when I was a child. I didn't know I still possessed it until now. Seating in the lecture hall, waiting for the professor to show up I kept thinking to what Adriana has to ask me."What's taking him so long?" David muttered."Maybe he has a fever or got stuck in traffic." I point out and David chuckled.'Fever huh?"Just then, the class door opened and a young man stepped into the class. His hair was dark brown and he had on glasses. He didn't give off the old professor vibe but looked young and vibrant."Sorry for the wait class" he smiled apologetically. "From today, I'm taking you Literature" he announce and I looked at David who also looked at me. I guess we're thinking the same thing? Shouldn't he be seating with us to learn, not teaching us?"He doesn't look a day over twenty three" David mumbled close to my ear and I n

Adriana tapped on my desk drawing my attention. I looked up from my coffee and smiled at her. She took the seat opposite me. David was supposed to be here any minute but he's not. I don't know how he'd react if he sees Anna. He doesn't seem to like her much."Hey Anna. How's your today?" I asked and she nodded with a smile."I was hoping I could move in today after my classes" she pinched the ends of her yellow jotter creating a tear. I cringed."Sure. Your last is Yoga?" I asked and she nodded."Mine too. We'll just help you settle in" I said with a little smile hoping she doesn't see the nervousness I'm showing off right now. Her hands tangled with mine."Thank you so much Storm" she said and I cring. I'm only ever used to Scott calling me Storm and no one else."Your welcome."I spotted David's blonde hair walking into the school cafe and I waved for hi

Scott took slow precise steps toward me. His hands connected with mine before he pulled me in for a slow, demanding kiss. He took me by surprise but I found myself responding to his kiss.Anna moved behind us and i pulled away breathless. "What are you doing here?" I asked him.His eyes move from my face to the tight yoga pants I was wearing and that made me grin. I brushed past him to open my door."You wasted some time getting here and I sent you a text" Scott frowned.Anna came in through the door and Scott glared at her. I can notice the tension in the room but I shrugged it off. I pointed toward the bedroom and she thanked me before walking away."I didn't see any text" I say leaning into him."Why is she here?" Scott asked. I moved my arms round his neck and brushed my lips against his, feeling just a little bit bold."She's going to be staying with

I watched Danielle ice the little cupcakes we've been working on for minutes now. She called it our little wonders after which David frowned saying he thought he was her little wonder."Idiot!" Scott called him out and we all laughed.She placed the now iced cupcake on a flat tray and sighed rolling her napkin away. "Phew! That's one iced cupcake" she touched the top of a cake with the tip of her nails. "They're so cute""I know. I fall in love with the little things after I make them and then feel sorry and contented when I eat them" I chuckled and Danielle laughed."Wait till Carter sees this. He'd fall in love with me all over again" she grinned proudly and I smirked remembering her husband's tease the other day at dinner. Such a lovely moment. One which after, I'd cried and Scott thought I was stupid. Well he didn't say that..."Are we placing them in containers?" I asked her

I don't know if I should cry or just bottle myself up right now but I feel like hell and shit. How could Scott say that to me? Of course I know he never asked me to be his girlfriend or called me his one day but he didn't have to say it. I felt my insides churn with distaste as I buried my face into my palms.After Scott said that, I hurried to the kitchen with the silly excuse of needing water.Maybe I should just call this whole thing off. But there's really nothing to call off. I'm not his and he's not mine. He just said that. But why do I feel so terrible right now. Like an ocean of jellies are lightening my stomach up with fury flames.Movements behind me made me wipe the tear I didn't realise had rolled down my cheek."Stormy, are you alright?" David asked from behind me. I turned to stare at my friend not sure if I should tell him. I decided not to because it's too embarrassing.

Valerie walked up to me with a smile before engulfing me in a calm, friendly hug. I hugged her back before she pulled away."I've wanted to see you since my Aunt's party" she said before turning to David. "Hey Dave""Hi Val" David smiled smartly.I didn't know wether to invite her in for something or to just have whatever discussion she's here to talk about right here. Of course she's got something to say to me and that's why she's here right now."Didn't think I'd see you here" Val told David."I dropped her off" David hummed beside me. "I'll just be leaving now" he said to both me and Val before kissing my cheek and walking off. We both watched as his car revved out of the parking lot."I thought your together with Scott" Val said looking a bit confused. I'm sure I am too, cause I don't know what she's talking about."Um...I don't understand"
