By Succie Brown.
(HOME ALONE)
“What are you waiting? Get lost before I do something crazy to you” Desiree said.
The girl glared at her, before leaving with her friends.
“Why did you that Desiree? She only wanted a picture with me, to boast her insta account”.
“To boast her insta account? Since when did you become a celebrity, huh!!” Desiree yells at him.
“And why are you raising your voice at me?”
“Because you allowed that girl to be touchy-touchy towards you!”
“And what does that have to do with you Desiree?”
“Huh?”
“Since when did you start getting pissed off about me being with other girls?” Bryan asked and that’s was when Desiree realize what she just did.
*Why did I do that?* She muttered inwardly and slowly looks at Bryan, who was looking at her confusingly.
*Am I by chance in love with him, without knowing?* She said inwardly.
*No, No, it can’t be. Not Bryan* Desiree said shaking her head and quickly took to her heels.
“Desiree” Bryan said going after her.
He caught up with her and held her head.
“What’s wrong Desiree?” Bryan asked.
Desiree jerks his off.
“I want to be alone” She said and run off.
Bryan watch her as she ran, without looking back.
“She’s so confusing” He muttered.

THE CASTILLO’S HOUSE***
Paige almost laughed out her kidney out, after Desiree told her what transpired between her and Bryan ealier.
“Can you stop laughing? Is not funny” Desiree throwing a pillow at her.
“Is so funny Desiree. You got jealous seeing Bryan with a girl…. My best friend knows how to be jealous” Paige said laughing.
“Stop laughing Paige. I’m finding it so confusing right now”.
“There’s nothing to be confused about bestie. You’re in love with Bryan”.
“That’s why I’m finding it so confusing Paige. I know myself so well. I know what I want, and I can clearly tell what I feel, but how on Earth couldn’t I know I have been in love with Bryan. I’ve always find him so annoying”.
“You were just too ignorant to know about it. Or maybe is because Bryan has always have his life wrapped around you. I guess seeing him with another girl ignited your feelings”.
“This is so lame. Why Bryan? Why him” Desiree squeals fraustratingly.
“You can’t control your heart Desiree. The heart always have what it wants”.
“What should I do?” Desiree asked pouting.
“What else? Confess your feelings for him”.
“Are you crazy? You want me to tell Bryan that I love him?”
“But you do, right”
“Never. I won’t. Now that I know I’m in love with that jerk, I’ll just get rid of this stupid feelings” Desiree said.
“Suit yourself then. But remember you own me five hundred dollars”.
“Five hundred dollars? When? How?” Desiree asked.
Paige clears her throat.
“I won’t just give you two hundred dollars, but five hundred dollars. Fall in Love with Bryan… that will be in my next life when I’m not called Desiree and he’s not called Bryan” Paige mimicked Desiree’s voice some days ago.
“That’s not the issue here Paige”.
“I don’t care Desiree. You were so confident saying you were never going to fall in love with Bryan. Your going to give me my five hundred dollars else I’m going to go to your dad’s convenience store and take groceries worth five hundred dollars”.
“Fine, I’m going to give it to you. But can I spend the night here?”
“Why?”
“I can’t possibly go back home, I’ll see Bryan’s face”
“So?”
“I don’t want to see his face, it’s so embarrassing”.
“My house is not a hotel where you can lodge, so go home Desiree, your house is just two steps away”.
“Seriously your going to do this to your best friend?”.
Paige giggles and wears a serious face afterwards.
“Yes I’m, go back to your house” Paige said pushing her out of the house.
“Paige I don’t want to go home. I want to stay here” Desiree pouted.
“Go home and start your own love story” Paige said.
She push her out of the house and giggles.
“Maybe prophesying is really my calling” Paige said smiling.
But her smile disappeared when she looks at the wall clock.
“Is almost 10PM and he’s not yet back. I hope he’s not overworking himself” Paige muttered sadly.

EDWARD’S BBQ SHOP***
“Lemme you with that Uncle” Carding said with a bright smile, when he sees Edward trying so hard to take a ceramic cup from the shelf.
Carding took the cup and gives it to Edward.
“Thanks Carding. Guess being tall have an advantage” He said and Carding smiles.
“You weren’t home on time last night. Did something happen?” Edward asked.
“No uncle. I was working”
“Working?”
“Yes. I work in a restaurant during the evenings cuz I have school during the day” Carding answers.
“Are you working because you feel your a burden to us? You don’t have to feel that way Carding.
Your not just Paige’s boyfriend but also like a son to me. We may be poor, but I never allowed Paige to work for money, the same should be applied to you”.
“I just want to help out uncle. And my mom can’t possibly stay in your house when she wakes up from coma. I’m working so I can provide a place for her to live in, when she wakes up”.
“Can you be able to handle it? You grew up rich” Edward said.
“Yes I did, but my mom thought me the basic of life, and that’s why I was able to adjust to the life I have now”.
“Then she must be a good mom”.
“Yes. She’s the best, and that’s why it hurts seeing her in coma”.
“Don’t worry Carding, she’s going to be fine”
“I hope so” Carding muttered.
“How about your dad? Have you heard from him?”
“No I haven’t. I cut ties with him after I left the house. Since he’s the business and money freak type, I’m sure he’s on a business trip like always” Carding said.
Edward smiles lightly.
“Please protect my daughter. She means a lot to me” Edward said.
“I’ll uncle”
Edward smiles and pats him softly.
“What should I help you with Uncle?” Carding asked smiling.
“Don’t bother Carding”
“I insist on helping my father in-law out”.
“Father in law?”
“I’m going to marry Paige someday. Is it okay if I call you father in-law?”
Edward laughs.
“I see Paige craziness is already affecting you” Edward said and Carding smiles.
“What should I help you do around here?”
“Fine, help me slice the salad… You know how to slice it, right?”
“Yes I do. Cooking is my number one favorite thing” Carding said, going into business.
Edward looks at him and smiles.
