'I Am in love with the shape of you push an...' Omg who was calling me this early on a Sunday?
I groaned in frustration and picked up my phone.
" Hi bitch!" Marinda greeted me cheerfully.
"Seriously Marinda? You are calling me this early on a Sunday! When you know my beauty sleep is so
important?" I asked her.
"It's eleven o clock honey and you have lunch at my house today remember?" She asked me giggling.
Oh shit I totally forgot. Last night I had came back so late that I had totally forgot to put the seven
alarms that woke me up. I quickly got out of bed and took a quick shower.
After fifteen minutes I was ready. I wore a white sleevless shirt and paired it with my black skirt and
white sneakers. After putting my hair in a pony and applying some mascara and lip gloss I was finally
done. I knew I totally looked like a tennis player but I kinda liked the vibe.
I quickly ran downstairs and was greeted by a very angry mom. She was very strict about being
punctual. We soon sat in the car and reached Marindas house.
Marinda's mom Grace came to open the door and engulfed me in a tight hug. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"Happy Birthday darling " She wished me cheerfully.
I smiled at her and then we entered. Their house was like a mansion. It had three floors and twenty
bedrooms. Grace had a passion for interior designing so she had designed it all herself.
"Hey Sydney!" Greeted Marinda.
"Hey dude are you okay?, were you able to sneak back in or did he find you?" I whispered in her ear.
"Oh its no problem, we did some trading and I saved myself from some grounding." She giggled.
Well that was weird.
"Oh and by the way I want you to meet someone." she said and she took me to the kitchen.
And in the kitchen I found the cutest little chef stirring a cupcake better. She had her tongue out as she
stirred in full concentration. Her blonde curls fell onto her eyes but she was still adamant to stir that
batter.
"This is my cousin Alice, her parents have gone for some business so she is staying with us. I told her
that today is your birthday and she wanted to make you some cupcakes." Marinda told me.
"I think I can mix the rest of the batter Alice." Said Marinda as she made her way to her.
"But..." She started but stopped when she saw me.
"Is this Sydney?" She asked Marinda, her eyes beaming with happiness.
"I believe she is." Marinda smiled.
"Happy Birthday!" She smiled and came and hugged me.
I bent down and hugged her back. Kids were my weakness. I just coudnt resist their cute smiles.
But when I hugged her, she whispered that she needs to take me somewhere and started to drag me
out of the kitchen and towards the stairs.
"Where are you taking me Alice? "I asked her.
"Come on I'll show you something" she replied excitedly.
"But what?" I asked her, clearly amused by her.
"I saw your picture in one of the rooms today." She told me. By now we had reached up the stairs.
"That must be Marindas ro...." I started but instead she took me to the room next to hers.
I had never been in that room before, for some reason it had always been locked. As I stepped into that
room, I instantly fell in love. It had a very mordern and cozy vibe. The walls were black and a white bed
was placed in between. It had a small book shelf with some black velvet sofas and a fire place in
between that I was sure Grace had designed.
"Are you sure you saw my picture in this room Alice?" I asked her.
"Yes yes look there it is." She said as she took me towards the drawers and pulled open the first one.
And indeed in there was a photo of me and Marinda. This was taken last year when we both had gone
to the carnival that took place in our town. Marinda had framed it and put this picture in her room. But
what confused me was that what was that picture doing in this room.
" Alice darling,whose room is this?" I asked her.
Before she could reply, a husky voice interrupted her.
"This is my room." He replied. And infront of me stood Marindas brother just in towel. His hair tousled
over his forehead and his blue eyes stared intensly into mine. My eyes automatically fell onto his body
and man did he have some abs.
"Umm I must get going." I whispered when I realised that I was once again gawking at hIM.
"Did I say you can leave?" He said and I immediately stopped.
I could feel his presence behind me now and all the hair on my body had stood up with a weird
excitement.
"Turn around Sydney." He whispered.
And automatically my body turned towards him.
He was now standing infront of me. I could feel his minty breathe. My heart raced as I felt his arms
snake around my waist. His eyes never left mine as his hand came up to my face and caressed my
cheek.
"What are you doing?" I whispered still entraced by him.
"Touching whats mine."
"Marinda Marinda, Sydney and Dorian are doing gross things upstairs!" I heard Alice yell as she ran
away from the room.
