“His name is Alexander knight and he lives in the outskirt of this town. I know him and his family for a long time.” She told me with a distanced look, like remembering something or maybe I just imagined that part.
“Thank you for helping my Cathie, son” my granny thanked him with a grateful smile.
“Anything for you Mrs Brown.” He assured her with a smile. God! That was the most beautiful smile I had ever seen, he looked so much young and carefree when he smiles like that. He should smile so often, instead of looking like permanently shoving a stick in his ass.
After Alexander and the cops left, my granny gave me a full-blown lecture on how irresponsible I was for my age and how I should think about others before doing something. After an hour of lecture, I went to my room to take a nap, I couldn’t help but think about that arrogant blue-eyed boy, there was something odd about him the way he carried himself. I just couldn’t figure out, why all the good looking guys are being a complete jerk to the people, maybe God should work on his creation a bit.
A week had passed in a blur by spending time with my granny and my friends. The summer break is about to end in two weeks, Thank god, Rachel was by my side in the university. She and I took the same course but I was not sure about the classes. Paul was taking a business management course at the same university.
Ringggggg Ringggggg
I moved across my room to find my mobile on the nightstand, it’s my mom, I answered her call and greeted with her comforting voice.
“Hey pumpkin, how are you doing? How is Maine? Why didn’t you call me? Is everything alright?” my mom fired me with back to back questions without taking a break.
“Mom! Mom! Relax, will you? I’m fine. Maine is beautiful with nature everywhere and sorry for not calling you earlier, I was caught up with enjoying my time with granny and my friends.” I reasoned her. I heard her sigh with relief.
“Jesus! I was so worried about you. I’m so glad that you’re enjoying your time. Don’t snoop around a lot of honey and how is your granny?” I could feel the smile in her voice when she mentioned granny.
“Granny is fine. I think she stopped ageing when she reached sixteen. She is full of energy and fire. No one can compete with her.” I told her with a chuckle, remembering, how my granny kicked my ass out of my bed every morning at 6’O clock for a walk.
“So true, say your granny, I said hi. Don’t forget to take medicines, no more alcohol and partying…”
“Mom! I got it. Have to go, Paul is waiting for me. I love you, take care, bye”
“I love you too baby but wait I’m not done talking with you…” I ended the call by releasing my breath. I know for a fact when my mom started talking about my health, it’s never going to end anytime soon and I was not lying when I told her I’m meeting Paul.
We were going to the outskirt of this town to buy some stuff to fix my granny old car which was a black Toyota. I heard a car pulling up on the front porch, it must be Paul. I ran downstairs skipping two steps at a time and swung open the front door. To my utter surprise and disbelief, it was Alexander.
“I would appreciate if you stop gawking at me with an open mouth.” I was speechless, how dare he insult me at my doorstep? I was so shocked that’s why my jaw hit the ground without my consent.
“What are you doing here?” I asked him with a murderous glare.
“I was here to…”
“Hey, Alex! thank you for showing up.” He was cut off by my granny’s voice. I turned to her with raised eyebrows as to ask her what’s going on but instead, she had a mischievous smile on her face. Alex gave her a polite smile and hug her as soon as she stepped in front of him.
“Cathie honey, Alex will help you to buy your stuff because Paul was caught up with some work, he just called me this morning while you’re taking a shower” she chirped happily. I narrowed my eyes on her because something was suspicious of the way her eyes glinted. Is she trying to set me with this sexy pants?
“Oh hmm…uh…okay,” I awkwardly scratched my neck and diverted my eyes to my boots.
“Perfect, then we will be leaving Mrs Brown” we both left my granny with me waving at her and him smiling at her. A day with Mr Sexy Pants couldn’t be that bad right?
