บท 10: Chapter 10
Michael's P. O. V
I was still trying to wrap my head around the scene in front of me. A woman, a person, was staring back at my father and actually talking back to him.
Let me give you a brief intro about Xander Tyler, my father.
Both his parents died when he was fourteen, he lived his life with Lola.
Lola's mum was a maid at his family house, her mother was kind enough to take him in.
He later took over his company when he turned twenty and simply put he wore his heart on his sleeves. He found out my grandparents were assassinated, and he kept his defences up.
"Dad, she was just helping"Makela said, but father didn't say a word to her. He still kept his harsh gaze at her.
"Xander, you know what we talked about, could you just overlook everything? Please?"Lola asked.
"Michael take your sister upstairs, let me speak to these two"My father said.
I knew that he would throw a fit, but it was amusing to see him at a loss for words.
"Thank you for your help today..."
"Mia"she said.
"Thank you Mia"I said and led Makela to her bedroom, my phone buzzed, it was a message from Pablo.
I deleted it and tossed my phone aside, I wasn't ready to hear anything from him, he still crushed my sister's heart after all.
I'll get back at him and that Diana bitch.
Later in the day Lola came up to the upstairs lounge to come see Makela and I.
"Are you two okay? It's been a while"she said, looking at Makela, she had always had a soft spot for Makela.
"Yeah, so how did things go?"I asked, Makela still brooding in a corner.
"Well...after much persuasion, your father...he...agreed!"Lola said sounding very excited as if she had accomplished something huge.
"Glad to hear"I said, "do you two want to go visit Pablo? He's with someone I'd like you two to meet, am sure you'll like her. Her name is Diana, and she's so pretty!"
Makela stood up and left to her room, "what is wrong with Makela?"Lola asked clearly confused.
"It's nothing, she'll come around, she's just going through something"
Diana's P. O. V.
The weekend is over and it's 6am Monday Morning. My damn alarm goes off!
I hit snooze and sluggishly drag myself out of bed, I was definitely tired out. Pablo was some competition, I thought I'd never beat him in any game.
Sam's words cut through like a knife, I secretly didn't want to go to school. Maybe I could fake a knee injury...
Or I could just lie that I was sick am sure mom would approve! Where is she anyways? I barely saw her since she left with Lola, I grew tired from waiting up for her.
I take a shower and get my things ready for school I'll probably see Mom downstairs fixing up my breakfast anyways.
By the time am done with everything, I get downstairs to see a sticky note on the kitchen counter.
"Had to go to work. Eat breakfast, don't cut class.
XOXO"
"Did my mum just ditch me?"I asked myself out loud still trying to figure out how to get to school.
"Guess am catching the bus"I said and left after locking the doors.
As I strolled out I noticed Pablo getting into a truck, his truck.
"You can ride with me Senorita"Pablo offered.
"Aren't you underaged?"I queried raising up a brow.
"Perhaps the less you know the better"Pablo said, "but you can drive right?"I asked him again.
"I think you don't trust me"Pablo said, I got in to prove a point.
I sit down and a dog pops up, he likes my face and wags his tail. "Marcos! Let Senorita be!"Pablo cautioned, the dog ceased licking my face.
"He just really likes people"Pablo said. "You don't say, I myself like people too, am guessing me and Marcos have something in common"I said jovially.
He started the engine, and drove off, keeping his eyes on the road fully.
"So your mum actually let's you drive?"I asked trying to kill the silence.
He suddenly seemed very gloomy, "something wrong?"I asked, hoping I hadn't struck another nerve.
"When my father left, my mom got drunk a lot and I had to drive and pick her up. I taught myself how to drive"he confessed.
"It must have been scary" I said empathising with him.
"Am glad to see the results"I said trying to lighten up the mood.
"So...tell me more about Michael"
You need as much information as you can get on your enemy. You'll never know when the right opportunity would present itself.
"He's an obedient son, a jackass boyfriend, a loving brother, a passionate player..."he stopped and passed me a glance.
"Senorita you're giving me the idea that maybe you..."
"Hold your horses there cowboy! I was just curious, I can't stop thinking about that stuff you told me about him. I just want to know him better"I lied.
"He has unusual ways of making friends, but he means no harm. He just does not know how making a friend works"Pablo said.
Cut the Claptrap!
"Friends? Me? Not possible, you have your head in the clouds"I said.
"Not really, I think he's interested in you Senorita"Pablo said and my heart skipped a beat, I bit my lip trying to hide a smile that almost surfaced. Then a question popped into my head.
"Are you interested in me?"I asked, a silence followed, he looked at me then at the road.
"Yes"
Things just got a little heated in the car, my palms became sweaty and I gulped hard. What the hell does that mean!
Luckily we just arrived at school, this was really an awkward car ride.
Michael's P. O. V
I sat beside Makela having pancakes and maple syrup, Mia made some and it felt good eating something I could say the name without bitting my tongue.
Mia stares at us funny, like she could just hug the life out of us.
"What are you doing Mia?"I asked staring at her, "packing your lunch"she says smiling at us. "We just buy lunch from the cafeteria"Makela said.
"That's not right, home cooked meals are always the best"she said. She rushed into the kitchen I think she said Tea...
"She's funny and I love her"Makela Said. "I love the pancakes"I said and took a bite.
"Admit you like her"Makela said, "you met her just yesterday, don't get too attached"I said.
"How are you?"I asked changing the topic, "better but...."whatever she said next lost value, the scene in front was just too overwhelming.
Mia just crashed landed into my dad, spilling the hot tea on his newly ironed shirt.
"Oh! I am so...Sorry! It's my fault..."she said rubbing the shirt, but the stain was only spreading.
Dad spread his fingers around his Forehead and stood there staring at her busy herself with trying to get the stain out. Makela was laughing softly from her seat, something about this scene felt....right.
"I'll pick you up at three okay"Mia said as we alighted the car. Makela answered and I nodded and walked further away from them.
"Mike!"I heard her call out, I looked over my shoulder to respond.
"Can I get a smile?"she asked, Makela was grinning from ear to ear.
"Come-on! You seem like the heartthrob! Just a smile to make this girl fall head over heels!"she yelled from the car.
I was looking around if anyone was watching, no one looking in my direction, I quickly smiled at her then walked away, I couldn't let her know her little request brought a huge smile to my face.
But I could hear the giggling, then I heard a truck door slam then two familiar voices.
I turned back fully to see Diana alighting Pablo's truck and I clench my jaw at them both.
