Chapter 7: Forehead Kiss
I was awakened to the sound of an electric guitar outside, together with the drums, so I hurriedly looked at my window to see who it is, I saw Johnson and Claude, Johnson playing the guitar, while Cloud is playing the drums, then my Mom came knocking at the door.
**Knock! Knock!***
I opened the door and saw Mom, she said; "Shen come out Johnson is there"
I replied; "Yeah okay Mom, I'm just going to dress up"
"Just make it fast"Mom said and then she go down stairs
I quickly changed my outfit from my sleepwear to a red dress then I go downstairs.
As I opened the door going to the garden where Johnson with Claude and my Parents are sitting, the silence covered the place when they stared at me, I sitted beside Johnson.
"Shen you looked so gorgeous"he said expressing his sincere eyes
I let out a little laugh "haha, don't do that Johnson it doesn't suits you doing puppy eyes we're not teens anymore"
"O-Okay Shen, by the way Claude and I went here because I want to ask from you and your parents if we can get married"Johnson said
My eye widened to what I heard, but I need to response early; "Uhh Johnson, don't you remember you were just asking me lately if I could be your girlfriend, but how come you would want to have a marriage knowing we're not yet committed right?"
I stared at Johnson, tears flow out of his eyes he murmur "I see, then it must meant it's a NO"
"Jo-Johnson!, I didn't said it's a no,its just too early for that"I explained
"Then I have no choice but to go back with Claude, don't worry we will never see each other again"Johnson said
Johnson suddenly transformed into a sports car, and Claude ride in it, a portal appeared inside our garden, Johnson with Claude go in it and portal begone like a dust in the wind.
"Johnsooooooonnn!"I screamed while my face is covered with tears
Then our surroundings began to shake like an earthquake,then a bright light covered our surroundings till I can't se anything anymore.
***Riiiiiiinnnnnnnnggggggg!*****
***Sigh** Its just a dream!
My phone is ringing and Johnson is calling, I saw the time its almost 9 am
"H-Hello?"I said in a sleepytone
"Hey Gorgeous, wanna practice today?, your next competition is in next two days, oh don't excuse yourself just because you just woke up, don't worry, I know you must be hungry, so, yeah I'm on my way in your house and bought a breakfast for you and everyone whose in there" Johnson said then he drop his call
***Sigh***I have no choice but to act fast, as usual I fix my bed,go in the restroom, have a little shower, and dress up, I don't like to put too much make up on my face, a little powder, a lip balm is already fine with me.
I stepped down stairs and I can hear that Johnson is already here, talking with Mom, thankfully atleast she's here to entertain Johnson, I reached our living room, sit beside Mom.
Johnson noticed me, he wink his eye and stand up to offered me a seat beside my Mom and him, so I sit and thanked him.
Mom stared at us and smiled saying; "Shen, I'll leave you two for a while, I need to do something"
Johnson is eyeing the empty seat beside me, but I don't want to move, so he sat beside me.
"Good morning, I hope you liked it" Johnson said,he handed me a one piece of white rose.
"Thanks"I said and smiled
Johnson and I ate the breakfast he bought, I asked him about Claude, he pointed the garden, I saw Claude and Dexter admiring the scenery.
So after our breakfast we all went to Johnsons racing place, to train for my incoming racing competition, everything went well, he doesn't asked me about his offered last time if I could be his girlfriend.
I should be glad and fine, but somehow it worries me because it seemed he's not interested anymore, I don't know or maybe,he's just waiting for my answer.
Time passed by, morning became noon, noon turned to afternoon and now the night is approaching, we're just practicing, he's not looking that much to me, even tho I'm looking at his face.
We're in the bench right now, I looked at the sky and seen some stars beggining to appear, then I look back at him.I was carried away with my thoughts till I felt his hand holding my cheek.
"Hello Shen where in the world are you?. Shen are you here" Johnson said while touching my face
I looked at him and said "I'm sorry, uhmm, I'm just thinking of something"
He looked at me with worried eyes, he put his two hand in my cheek, he turned my head facing him.
"Shen, what's bothering you, I'm just here for you, you can tell me any---"
I cut him off by hugging him and dip my face in his chest, I don't know why but I suddenly cried, then he's tapping my back moving his palm around my back to calm me down.
"Shen, please tell me, what is it?"he said
then I moved away a bit and faced him "I'm sorry its nothing, I just let out a bit of worries so, let's continue the practice"
He sighed, because he knows there's a problem.
"Shen our practice is done, you might be tired, we can drop by at a restaurant, I'll treat you all" Johnson said while looking at me and Claude whose sitting in the grass.
Johnson signal to Vlaude to come over, then we all went to his limousine, as usual Claude is driving again, Johnson sit beside me, he looked at me and held my right hand.
We're holding hands right now, he turned his face and I looked at him, he is moving closer to kiss me, but we're interrupted by Dexter, Claude's twin little monkey, Dexter jump in the middle of our seat, Claude looked at us in the mirror and laughed.
"Dexter you shouldn't had interrupted the lovers" Claude said
Dexter jumped at the back of Claude and he scratched his head, and close his palm as a sign of sorry, then he waved at us, get back inside Claude.
We ate at the reastaurant, then they drop me back home.
The next day Johnson trained me again, but his condition this time is, he will be using his sports car same as the sports car that will be used by my top competitors, and Claude will use sports car too, they will served as my individual competitors.
First round Johnson won, second round Claude and more rounds they are the one who just gets on top, I didn't get to passed them, I am loosing hope because we we're doing it for five times now.
Johnson called a break, and they went on my spot, Johnson handed me a drink and a burger.
"Why is it seemed, that you're giving up right now?" Johnson asked
"No!. I'm not, I-I'm just tired" I said
"Yeah I can sense that, but I can somehow tell that you're loosing hope, She you shouldn't okay?. I'm sorry if we are participating in this, but I just want you to be at your best, I can see you still can exceed what you think your limit is" Johnson said
I got inspired to what he said, I looked at him, smiled and whispered; "Thanks"
I quickly kissed him on his cheek, then walked directly at my sports car, and looked at him through my window, he is touching his cheek where I slightly kissed him, he is so cute even we're not youngsters anymore.
Then Claude and Johnson settled in at their sports car after our fifteen-minute break, at our sixth race I was on second and Johnson on first it means Claude ending at third spot,on the seventh I was third again, eight I'm still at third, I get to be first for the nineth round but at our last round I'm just on second.
It's almost 8pm when we're done training, Johnson congratulate me, according to him I improved a lot, and if I keep that motivated, inspired spirit in the competition, I can really beat the current winner.
He invited me to his house because he wants to cook a dinner for me, as we're leaving the racing field, Johnson signal to Claude to come, and we all went to his limousine Claude is the one who drove the limo, Johnson is tired and sleeping at my shoulder.
After a one-hour drive, we arrived at his home, I can say its not so big unlike ours, but its a big home for the two of them, there is a covered parking lot, and two covered vehicles, it have a spacious garden.
"Shen do you like it so far? I can tour you tomorrow,after your competition if you want" Johnson said
"Why not now? I'm having a dinner here right?" I asked
"Because you need a rest and I will just be cooking tonight, and all you can see here this time, is not all of the things I wanna show you tomorrow" Johnson said
"O-okay, tomorrow after the competition"I replied
"Let's go inside, so I can start cooking"he said
I followed him with Claude and Dex, as we entered I saw a living room with a huge television and elegant sofas, there is one entrance to the kitchen in the left side, one spiral stairs at the straight part of the hall then two doors at the right side which he said is both bedrooms, Claude and Dex entered at the second room .
Johnson turned on the television and said I should wait at the sofa, rest and watch tv shows while he cooked, after 15 minutes he's done cooking, Johnson called Claude, Dex and I, we followed him at the kitchen area and at the left side of the kitchen is the dining area with a round glass table and 5 elegant seats.
We're done eating, and I asked Johnson; "Why is there a five seats at your dining table, whoelse is going in here?"
Johnson stared at me, smiled, he replied "If ever there will be visitors, its better to be prepare"
I moved my chair closer to him, I asked; "so whoelse visits in here"
He replied "Why are you asking Shen? you think other girls visits me here?" he chuckled
I suddenky realized my question, and it bothers me because he can sense what I'm thinking, I replied with; "O-ofcourse not haha, what if a relative of you came here"
He said; " Shen, you know eversince I was gone before, I dn't have any news about my relatives, who raised me, I tried to find them but it can't be helped"
"Uh, I'm sorry" I said
"That's fine" He replied
We're done eating and Johnson drove to drop me home safely, while he left Claude and Dex at the house.
I was about to go down then he held my hand, so I sit again, he caress my hair and kissed me at my forehead.
He said; "Good luck tomorrow, we will be there, I promise"
I stepped out of his car, I waved him bye but his not going until he sees me inside our gate, he opened his window and waved to me, then he drove away.
