UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 51 – 60
I scowl and cross my arm to look at Leslie. She’s not normal. How can she phone our mother and ask her to come over ? Because she doesn’t want me to visit Malibu for Alexa’s shopping. She’s crazy. I scoff irritatingly and pick up my bag to leave.
” You should leave. I need to lock my room door.”
She smirks and leave. I shut my door and hail a cab to Piper’s and Brandon’s apartment. My phone rings in my pocket and I quickly shove it out.
“Vickie..”
“Oh my God. Really , Ariel. It’s been three weeks since I last heard from you. What happened ?”
I get inside the cab and shut the door , afterwards tell the driver the address.
“I’m really sorry. College is stressing the little life out of me. How’s Sandy ? How’s the restaurant ?” I ask on the phone.
“Pretty fine. It’s annoying I missed you. The restaurant is normal as usual but stupidly boring. You stopped working and Gray Carter barely drops bye as usual.” Yeah, he’s been stalking me around college.
“I’m really sorry Vickie. I hope you’re okay ?”
“I’m fine. How are you ? Saw a look alike of you with Gray Carter in a picture that’s already going viral on the internet. Rumors says the blonde haired lookalike of you is from England.”
I groan and look at the passing objects through the window. How could they make that stupid photo go viral. Thank God nobody recognize it to be me except Alexa. I’m still freaking out thinking I owe Alexa an explanation.
I don’t wanna look like a liar and maybe a hypocrite. It’s not really important to me and not worth telling. We’re not even dating or in a relationship.
“Ariel. Did you hear what I said ?” Vickie ask on the phone. God , I zoned out again.
“I’m sorry. What did you say ?” The cab halts and I get out. I paid the driver and head straight to Piper and Brandon’s apartment.
“Where are you ?” She ask on the phone.
“I’m on my way to a friend’s house. Sleepover.”
“Aww. I should hang up then. Becareful and have fun. Don’t forget to date a lot of boys , it’s worth it.” She giggles on the phone.
“Vickie , thanks. I don’t want a boy now okay.” I roll my eyes and step out of the elevator.
“Whatever you say mother. I’m hoping to see you soon.”
“Sure.”
After hanging up , I press the doorbell as it opens revealing Brandon. He smiles broadly and drag me in before shutting the door. I heard chatters or maybe argument from Piper and Alexa.
“Yeah. Alexa wants to watch *His bride* but Piper thought *My brother’s best friend is better.” Brandon explains as we walk to the living room.
“Guys..” They stop arguing and turn to look at Brandon and I.
“Why don’t we watch something different ? Aside your choices.” I point at them and take the remote control.
“House of cards ?” Brandon asks.
“That’s an old movie.”
“Fifty shades of Gray.”
“Yeah Gray Carter.” Alexa and Piper chuckle at once.
They stop laughing and sigh in unison.”Hell no.”
“What about a horror movie ? Like jigsaw or maybe the conjuring ?” Brandon ask again.
“No and no. I can’t withstand a horror movie. We could watch Riverdale. That’s better.” I sigh and plump down on the couch opposite the TV.
Brandon sits close to me including the others as they watch me tune nonstop.
“When are we leaving for Malibu ?” I ask Alexa and remove my shoes.
“12 pm isn’t bad right ?”
“Yeah.” I stop tuning and wait for the movie to start.
“Are we planning to drive to California ? That’s far.” Piper ask.
“I know. We’re using my father’s jet since it’s gonna be quicker. We could drive to Malibu from there.”
Alexa’s father works with a car industry. They make cars and obviously he’s rich. Her parent’s are unlike mine.
Different and maybe carefree. They believe Alexa is old enough to make her own decisions.
