Lahat ng Kabanata ng Helplessly inlove with my best friend: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Just a few more days to leave the city for school and I could already tell that my mother is missing me already. "I will really miss you". She says and I smiles, making a face that says, I will miss her too, but I am happy to be away from the house for once in my life."I know, but it is not like I am going too far, Myles didn't make that happen, so we are still in the same area". I explained to her, and she winked at that, for she knows she will always come looking for me in school whenever she misses me too much."Yes, Myles did well in that aspect. By the way, this guy that have been coming around for some time now, who is he and what is the relationship between you two? She asked me. I had expected her question about Darius sooner, but she seem to be waiting for me to tell her on my own."He is just a friend. He is the cousin, to Myles' girlfriend, so somehow, he is family". I explained, so that she doesn't start thinking. "But he is coming today right? She asked and I nodded,

How I went through the night was what I could not explain. When I got home, I explained all that happened to my mother, and she could only laugh."I am sure Myles will understand that this is a different phase in your life, and he will understand that you don't have to be with him all the time, or do everything together. He is your best friend, you guys could always still be there for eachother, but it doesn't seem fair, if you inconvenient yourself, just to make him happy. Friendship is give and take, it doesn't hurt, and it is not one sided". She explains, looking into my eyes, knowingly, because I will surely have something to say to backup everything."But I promised him mum. I promised to be there for him. That was the the same thing he said, that if I didn't want to, and that I had other engagement, I should have just told him, which I didn't, for him to make other plans for himself, and since I didn't, it hurt him even more". I was almost in tears."I know, you forgot, you are

We moved early the next day, with my mother, and she didn't bother asking me about the previous night, even though when she got to the airport, she saw him with Myles and Ariana. I was feeling alone and awkward for having fought with the both of them, yet I am to travel with them, in Myles' private jet."Myles, please take care of my daughter". I heard my mother say to him, as she pulls him to the side. I wonder what she was trying to do, when she had been the one that had said that I should move on with someone else, and that someone else, happen to be standing just by the side, yet she was talking to Myles, instead of to Darius."I will try my best aunty, just that, I feel she is big enough to take care of herself now". He replied, and I just pretended as though I was not paying attention.Somehow I wish I could travel on a different day, I dont like the attitude he was giving me, and I really would have loved to show him that I could do things on my own, with or without his help."

I wish the question was the other way around, but I guess, this is not the time to say the truth, after all."He is not that bad, but I am not very sure about love". I answered. That should make him happy if he feels anything for me, that should tell him that I want him, that should tell him to just end this drama, so we can all have this time to ourselves. For it would have made me happy, if he had looked into my eyes, the way he was looking now, and told me that he doesn't love Ariana. I would have had a new surge of hope."What is really the problem? I heard him ask, after he took me to the long couch, and made me relax my back, while he stared into my eyes."What are you asking."The way you are going about your relationship life, are you sure you are ever going to fall inlove with anyone? Or should I ask what I have in mind? As soon as I heard him say that, I swallowed hard and sat up. I resolved within myself that if he asks me if I love him, I would just tell him the truth. I

I thought they were going to leave, but I was surprised, when Ariana, spoke."We are all going to eat at home then. We are willing to eat the food made by you Darius". She says laughing at him like he doesn't know how to cook."Rina, you sound like you don't think he can cook". I asked and she chukkled."Well that is because I don't think he can, since I have known him, he has never even boiled water before". She says, but Darius didn't seem moved by it, for he says." A king is not recognize in his home town, but since you are all eating here, no problems, but first, I need to ask Myles if there are any preferences so that I know what I am doing, for I would not want to have a life threatening issue in my hand". Darius says and that sounded as though he was mocking Myles, which I didn't like, and would not take it from him. I watch Ariana, who is supposed to support her man, also laughing at such dry jokes, and I had to speak up, especially when I noticed that Myles was not smiling
