Season two episode 38(A)
Aurora’s POV
After our date last night and the little incident that happened afterwards, Dian drove back to the mansion.
He kssed me goodnight and walk away to his room.
I was grateful that he left because I was really tired.
This morning I woke up with a pang of headed.
My head felt like it has been hitting on some heavy object.
I step down from the bed after five minutes of trying to ease the pain.
I walk inside the bathroom and do my morning routine.
After washing my hands I walk back inside my room and opened the door to my closet.
I picked up a pink hoodie and a black high waisted jeans.
I wore them before putting on a lip balm.
I walk out of the room after picking up my phone.
I glance at my phone and I nearly screamed out.
Why are there so many missed calls?
I checked my call log and checked how many times she called.
Ten times!
What’s going on?
I dial her number and placed the phone beside my ear.
After the third ring she picked up.
?Hey?
?Aurora what the fk has come over you, I get that you’re dating that guy now but why can’t you come and visit your father?
You completely forgot about him and me! She yelled that I have to remove the phone from my ear in other not to spoil my eardrum.
?I’m sorry Arielle, I’m totally sorry. I’ll come visit today I promise.?
?Whatever.?she hanged up on me.
I’m truly sorry, I don’t really know what has come over me.
I climb down the stairs and met Tina making a call beside the wall leafing to the sitting room.
She saw me and smiled at me before hanging up.
“Good morning.” I greeted her with a lopsided smile.
“Hey Aurora, how was your night babe? She asked.
My night was fabulous!
“My night was awesome.” I said and giggled.
She nodded and concentrate more on her phone.
I guess she is busy, she’s a celebrity anyway.
I walk inside the kitchen and saw Mrs Russell already preparing breakfast.
“Good morning Mama.” I greeted.
“Oh good morning my child, how was your night? She asked with a smile as she drop the spatula inside the sink and turned to face me.
“My night was awesome Mama.” I replied her with a smile.
“That’s good, I’m making lasagna for breakfast. Will you like some? She asked.
“I’ll love it, it smells good.” I complements.
I pick a glass cup from the shelf and pour some water inside it.
G0sh I’m so famished.
After drinking the water I dropped the cup on the counter and turned to face Mrs Russell.
“I’ll go check up on Dian to see if he’s awake now.” I said and she nodded.
I walk out of the kitchen and pass by Tina again. This time she wasn’t making any calls, she was in a deep thoughts that she didn’t even noticed me.
I climb up the stairs thinking about if Dian is awake or not.
I’d know if I should take permission from him to go see dad.
Even though the school is on a little break for Summer holiday I still have to ask because I’m still working for them.
I got to his door and knock gently on it.
I place my ear beside the key hole and keep calm to know if he’s awake.
But there was no movement.
Maybe he is still sleeping.
I walk off and contemplate on checking up on Bobby.
I knocked on his door and few seconds later I heard his raspy voice.
“Who is at the door?
“It’s Aurora.” I said and bite on my lip.
It has been a long time I last hard a private conversation with Bobby.
The fact that he keep avoiding me this past week or should I saw that he just placed himself as the introvert one.
Few minutes later I really thought that he’s not going to open the door but he later did.
“Can I come in? I asked as I made eye contact with him.
He nodded and push the door wide enough for me to pass through.
I walk inside his room and sat down on the bed.
It was awkwardly silent for awhile that I don’t even know what to say.
“What are you doing here? He asked and I chuckled nervously.
“What do you mean this is not the first time I’ll be here in your room.” I reasoned.
“Yea, but this is the first time for the past month.” He sneered.
“I just want to know what’s is wrong with you Bobby, you’ve been acting different unlike before.” I said and he furrowed his eyebrows.
“You are the one acting different here Aurora.” He fired.
I feel like we’re two siblings trying to prove that we’re both right.
“How do you mean?
“Ever since you and Dian started dating you forgot about every other thing. You ignored everyone that used to be there for you. When was the last time you visited you dad? He shouted.
Bobby has never been angry with me.
Even though I know that he is right but I also feel like there is something else he wasn’t saying.
“Bobby.. ”
“No Aurora, I feel pike the third wheel. I’m not saying that you should ignore your boyfriend but come on. I was there for you too, I’m your friend, you should always check up on me ‘AS A FRIEND’ not just your boyfriend.” He said and opened his bathroom door.
Why do I feel so shattered by what he just said?
Is what Bobby just said true?
Am I so occupied with Dian that I couldn’t think of anybody else?
