Chapter 11

"Sundays are the best," Emma says aloud , getting up from her stool she stands up holding the glass of alcohol high. "Let's celebrate the partnership of you two," she sings in a drowsy tone ,Dylan and I took out glasses and raised it up both their glasses were fill up with alcohol but mine is orange juice. It's not that I don't drink it's just that I go crazy when I'm drunk. "Cheers," we say unison as we sit down. Grabbing the bbq stick I pulled the meat through my teeth,this flavour takes me to another world and after all what happened for the past few days is flown away when my taste buds dance in excitement. Emma,Dylan and I came out ,we had lunch in their place , Dylan's mom cooking is the best she is soo kind and loving too,his family always treats me like a member of theirs. Ordering the third plate ,I grab the last stick and stuff it up in my mouth. "What?," I ask looking at Dylan because his eyes were on me all the time. Emma is almost drunk,she rests her elbow on the table,her face landing on her palm and she keeps waking up looking around telling something to herself and falls asleep again. "Seems like something is in your mind because you are eating alot today,"he asks surely his voice in concern. I always reveal my stress by eating too much or by drinking many cans soda and my whole mind is consumed by the Mr Han. I walked out in the morning today making sure we don't run on each other, I'm just going to avoid him as long as I can for my own good. "At what time did you reached home yesterday," he questions while I was silent thinking about what to do at work tomorrow. "Anna,did Mr Han drive you safe," he asks. "Yess dude,and I reached home early last night," I lie. I feel guilty of lieing to Dylan but can't help it I can't tell him that Mr Han kissed me and we went for a date ,no way. That would make me feel humiliated as well. "I was just worried," he utters taking a sip of his drink. "You don't have to,"I wave off grammatically, grabbing another stick I fill up my stomach and empty up mind as his image keeps displaying in my mind. I just want to forget about what happened as it is giving me weird kind of feelings and I don't like getting those feelings for him. .............................................................. "Seems like something good happened," Lan says flipping the page of his book. "Do you know what happened?," Han asked leaning forward from his seat. "How would I know," Lan glances at him and looks back at the book. "Ask me,"Han's lips twitches up to a wide smile. "No,no Keep it to yourself,"pointing his index finger up he moves it to the left and right,his eyes glued to the book. "Come on ,"Han got up from his seat, he snaps the book from Lan giving him an evil grin. "Alright tell me," he sighs. "I kissed her," "What?," his voice loud enough to show that he is surprised " Did she remember you?," "Nah," he places the book on the table and takes his seat. "I don't mind having a fresh start of relationship,"he blurts his eyes glinted in joy. "You gotta be kidding me,she might be out of her mind after what happened, don't you think she will be mad at you, you told me that you would be patient , memories cannot be brought in a split second Jackie," "Calm down it's not a big deal we have kissed before," "But she doesn't know it," "Oh,yeah I missed that point," "I agree that she is in the right period of time to recover but it cannot be made sure,"Lan informs which makes him to sigh. "I just need her back,I want to take her back home," "I understand buddy,but it's better to be patient just go slow she might remember you if she tries to ,it's all in her hand,if you make her mad I'm sure that she won't even take an image of you in her mind" "Fine," "You shouldn't have done that,she would have freaked out," "I just couldn't control myself looking at that cute little face," "Love makes people insane I understand it," Lan utters getting up from his seat,he walks to the table close to the shelf and pours a glass of water. "Seems like something's wrong between you and Charlotte," Lan remains silent taking a sip of water. "She has been crushing on you since college but still you pretend not to know," "I forgot to ask you what about Lara," he changes the topic. "I'm sure that she is goona make a scene," "hmmm," "Lets hangover Charlotte wanted us to have dinner together,and for the following days I'm gonna be a busy body," "I thought you didn't like hangovers and get together,seems like Anna is working on you," Lan chuckles "How can someone change from cold to warm in a flash, your theory cannot be found in my book as well," he laughs looking at Han glaring at him. ........................................................................... "It's almost 7,I gotta go," wearing my bag ,I stand up. "Let me send you home," Dylan insists as he stands up from his stool. Turning towards my left I take a look at Emma and shrug my shoulders, her head on the table and she is in deep slumber that how many times we've woke her up she didn't even budge. "You gotta take your sister home and don't forget to give her the honey water before mom finds out," "She gotta control herself,how can she even be my twin" he grunts, bending low he picks Emma up onto his back like he is giving her a piggy ride. "I'm away,awake," she suddenly woke up her eyes lids half closed, smiling she looks at me and then at Dylan "You gotta send her home," she utters her index finger pointing at Dylan like she is giving him a lecture and she smiles at her own action. "See yah," I wave at them as I walk further leaving both of them behind,Emma surely needs to control herself. Even though that Dylan and Emma are twins they are completely different in person. I decide to take a walk enjoying the chilly climate to the apartment as it's not too far from the bbq bar. Pulling out my buzzed phone I read the message, it's Dylan. "Be safe,go home before it rains," I smile reading the message,he is really so caring. I walk faster as it is about to rain the lightening reminding me of it. On my way in a pavement I hear a cat pur. Following the sound I search for it to find out what it is and it's a cute little kitten, it's drenched maybe it fell into soyem puddle and looks like it's hurt. It looks at me with a pity face which can make anyone melt. "Don't look at me as that," I complain getting up dusting my trouser "No pets are allowed into my apartment," I explain like as if it can understand. It purrs again which makes me to stare at it in pity. Few drop of water began to fall from the sky, it's drizzling. "Alright,forget it," carrying it I rush to the apartment because it started to rain,I regret not getting i to a taxi of I've done it I won't see the kitten,I won't be drenched and surely I have no need to be afraid of being caught by my weird landlord. I hug it in my arms making sure it doesn't get wet, getting into the elevator I pull it tight onto my chest. As the elevator doors parted I step out trying not to make any noise as pets are banned in here. Keeping soft steps with my drenched shoes I look behind slowly to find his door closed, a smile makes its way on my face knowing that he isn't here. Turning around I walk towards my door. Grasping the door knob I pause when hear the creek of the door. "Ms Anna" he calls out curiously. "See you at work Mr Han," I reply as I get in and shut the door in a blink of an eye. Tomorrow is going to be a hard day for sure.
