Chapter 38
My eyes are shut but I can still hear everything that's going on downstairs, I think mom is cooking breakfast. Seconds later my door is pushed open and when I open my eyes, Snow jumps on my bed with a red rose flower in his mouth and he barks twice. I chuckle.
"Good morning to you too, Snow."
He drops the flower on my bed and moves closer to me and I pet him.
"Good boy. Where did you get this from?" I ask, knowing he clearly doesn't understand me but in a way I always feel like he does. He barks again and leaves my bed, stopping at the door as if asking me to hurry up and leave my bed. His white tail wagging quickly.
"Okay, okay. I'm coming," I respond, leaving my room and following Snow downstairs, where I find dad cooking. In his hand is a spatula and he is wearing a white and orange checked apron.
"What in the world is going on today?" My brow is raised and dad laughs. His eyes move to the stairs behind me and I follow his line of sight to see my mom carrying a rose too.
"Wait, what day is it again?" I scratch my head because I am sure it's not my birthday, nor mom's. Mom walks down the stairs and stops right in front of dad and he kisses her on the lips gently.
"Happy Valentines, darling," he says then he spins her around as if they were on a dance floor.
Wait, what?
It's Valentines? How time flies.
"Oh, Valentines. I had completely forgotten about it," I announce, sitting on the kitchen island and grabbing a sky blue plate and placing it in front of me.
"Honey, at least I didn't forget. Your mother would have killed me." He grins and I shake my head.
"Thank you darling. Happy Valentines too." Mom kisses him on the cheek and joins me on the kitchen island. Carefully, dad serves us breakfast. He made pancakes, bacon and fresh mango juice. The moment I take a bite of the pancakes, my heart melts with joy.
"These are so damn good, dad. You should cook more often," I joke and he laughs, piling his plate with bacon.
"You know your mother can't last a day without cooking. She enjoys cooking alot," je opposes.
"Oh, come on. Stop teasing," mum says, taking a sip of her glass of juice.
"Would you look at the time! I don't want to be late for school," I say and head upstairs to get ready. Scott will pick me up any minute from now. One thing I know is that he keeps time. His father must have taught him so.
Today, I choose a peach knee-length skirt, with a white top and black Nike sneakers. Once I am done, I head out after I bid my parents goodbye, as well as Snow who licks my palm before I leave. It's awkward that I'm the one going to Scott's house. Normally, he's the one who comes to my house. When I am about to knock on the door, it opens. Revealing a tall, handsome Scott in grey ripped jeans and a black t-shirt, paired with black converse.
"Hey, good morning. I see I'm the one who's late today," he says, closing the door behind him as he chuckles.
"No, not really. I guess I got ready quicker than usual." I tuck my hair behind my left ear as we walk to where his car is.
"How's Vic?" I ask once we stop next to his car.
"He's okay. Didn't want to wake him up. So I left a note with everything he would need. Including my number," Scott informs me and I nod.
"Awesome! He'll be fine. Now let's go before start running late," I say and in and off we go.
At the campus parking lot, there's a huge number of students roaming about and I wonder why. When the car comes to a halt. We both walk out, carrying our backpacks. I notice some girls passing by while whispering and stealing glances at us. It gets more awkward when several other groups of students pass us, whispering and pointing at us.
Is it my outfit? Or is walking with Scott a problem?
"Why is everyone acting weird today? Is it my skirt?" I stop and face Scott and he shrugs.
"I don't know. You look pretty as always. I don't understand what's going on," he answers me.
I face palm myself and start walking again only to spot Maeve running towards me. Behind her is Tyler and Jim who are waving at me, and I wave back.
"Kyrah!" She hugs me tightly, "You won't believe this. Come see!" she pulls me by the hand, grinning away and I frown for a moment, unaware of what is happening.
"Maeve! Slow down, what is wrong? Why is everyone acting so-"
Whoah!
We stop right in front of a freaking hot, red car. Not just an ordinary car, but an Alpha Romeo and guess who is seated in it... Who else but my honey bun. Blake! The car has a huge red bow at the bonnet and a large card written Happy Valentines day, Kyrah! My jaw drops and the backpack I was holding in my arms, falls to the ground.
He walks out with a huge grin, straight towards me. His hair being blown by the wind. I swear everything is in slow motion right now.
"Babe. Happy Valentines. I bought you a gift. I hope you like it," Blake says, searching my face for a reaction. I am in shock and I can't find my words. I open my mouth and close it, then open it again.
"You... You mean, this car is mine?" I ask just to make things clear and he nods. A grin forms on my face, from ear to ear and I throw myself at him and hug him and kiss him.
"Oh, my, goodness!" I shriek when I touch the car. It's so sleek and and very brand new. Students are around us, staring at us and I know some are probably wondering why their boyfriends aren't like Blake. I rush to get inside. The leather seats are so comfy and I can't help but imagine Blake and I making out in the back seat. I place my hands on the wheel and I sigh.
It's been years since I got my driver's license and the only car I drove, was my dad's old car which he sold a year ago and bought a new one. Might as well check if I still remember how to drive. With my hand out, Blake places the keys in my palm and I signal him to come in. He pulls off the bow and card and shoves them into the trunk before joining me inside.
"Let's go for a ride." I wink at him and the engine comes alive. Some students are cheering, including Maeve and Tyler. Jim and Scott stand there with flat faces. Expressionless. Just watching. I wave at Scott and he crosses his arms and I choose that moment to drive off.
