Camille was feeling more uncomfortable now because whenever she goes to drink now, she always return back with someone’s things. This is the second time and she have someone’s jacket and she hanged the jacket on her closet with the other coat.
“Like this, my closet will have men’s clothing and then it will be seen as if I am living with a man.” She said thinking to herself.
She did her laundry and cleaning and sat down to draw some comic. It was already evening, she decided to order fried chicken and watch some shows. She decided not to have any drinks that evening. When she thought her fried chicken was here, she didn’t expect to see her favourite cousin standing there with his things.
She was more than glad to see him; it’s been a while. Lucas Parker,her cousin is 21 years old and is currently studying engineering at a university and lives in the dorm. Apparently, his parents wanted him to be a doctor but he had something else in his mind. Lucas always hangs around at her place because he have no where to go when he have breaks.
“I ordered fried chicken, I will make some noodles for you.We can have that with some side dishes. You can freshen up.” She said as she got ready to make food.
“I am sorry to always bother you.” Lucas said apologetically.
“You do know I love when someone is around. Makes me more comfortable.” She said smiling. “Tomorrow morning, do you want to go for groceries shopping with me? I will make lunch and dinner for you and make foods for the whole week so you can eat when you want.”
“I miss your cooking. In dorm, I always eat from the canteen and they always have the same food.” He said pouting.
“I miss cooking.” Camille laughed. “If I just cooked for myself it is no fun as I just want to make it simple, but when I have someone around I get really excited to cook for them.”
Both of them was having great time as they ate and catch up. The next morning both of them went to the local market as well as the super market to buy the ingredients.
Brandon, was having a great time annoying his brother. Apparently his brother was not happy when he showed up on Friday, to pick him up from school. Since Grayson said that he doesn’t want anyone to pick him up, he went there himself. Grayson, was walking out of school when he heard excitement from other students and most of them was running out and he heard some students saying that a guy, with a fancy car was here to pick his girlfriend. Grayson laughed at that thought as he walked out from the school building and saw his brother standing with his arm crossed and was dressed in suit. His hair was styled perfectly and he was wearing shades,and to Grayson, he was looking cocky and arrogant while the girls students and few other male students looked up to him. Grayson, was so embarrased seeing Brandon standing there and he could hear how girls were curious who the lucky person was, that the guy is here to pick her up. Grayson tried hiding as perfectly in the crowd as he could, but he unintentionally made eye contact with Brandon, he was hoping that it was a mistake, but he heard his brother’s loud voice and wanted to smack him.
“Grayson.” Brandon called out loudly making some student gasped and turn to look at Grayson. Grayson, was popular in school for being the mysterious type. No one knows who he is and what his background is. He comes to school on time and leaves school on time. He disappears after school, but he hangs around with his friends who are not from the school.
He didn’t have a choice. He walked straight and grabbed his brother’s arm forcefully and walked to the car.
“Stop embarrassing me.” Grayson said annoyed.
“How am I embarrassing you? You should be honored that I came to pick you up.” Brandon said offended.
“No need. Why are you even here?” He said and quickly got inside the car to hide his flushed face. Now everyone in school will know his family background and he won’t longer be the mysterious boy, that he was hoping to continue.
“You remember? You promised to get trained this week.” Brandon reminded him.
“I said I will come on my own.” Grayson said.
“How?”
“Somehow.” Grayson said.
He could see everyone’s face as the car passed by. Everyone was looking with awe at the beautiful sports car which Brandon was driving.
“What do you want for lunch?” Brandon asked.
“McDonald’s drive thru.” Grayson said.
“That’s unhealthy and oily. How about we go for some italian lunch or something like that?”
Grayson groaned.
“Then why did you even asked me what I wanted to eat.”
Brandon thought for a while.
“Okay, we will get whatever you want at McDonald’s even though it is unhealthy.” He said smiling at Grayson.
“What do you mean by unhealthy? I know you are very strict with your diet, but others love it.”
Brandon didn’t answer but went along with Grayson’s plan and that’s how Grayson ate his lunch in the car and Brandon ordered sushi for himself.
“Thank you for picking me up today.” Grayson said realising how rude he was to Brandon.
“That’s okay.” Brandon mumbled.
“I was just embarrassed.”
Brandon nodded his head.
“Isn’t it your turn to apologise?” Grayson said looking at Brandon in disbelief.
“Apologise for what?” Brandon said taking a quick turn in the traffic.
“You coming to pick me up.” He said.
“Why should I apologise to pick you up?” Brandon said making Grayson groaned and smacked his head in annoyance.
“I should have seen that coming.”
“Then why didn’t you?” Brandon asked.
“Because I thought you will because that is how it is suppose to be. You apologise and the other person too will apologise.”
“Did you apologise just because you wanted to hear me apologise?” Brandon asked.
“No- I really apologised because I was guilty-” his sentence was cut by Brandon
“Then why do you want me to apologise?”
Grayson groaned and wanted to smack himself for expecting an apology from Brandon. Brandon Clark never apologises!
Grayson was curious that if Brandon had ever apologised in his life.
