The look on his face could be saying many things to me but I preferred to be a blank person and pretend I did not know what his expression meant but I knew he would make me pay for that.
He had a sweet loving look on his face that sent butterflies in my stomach and made me feel like a bride on my wedding day when I see my groom hopefully that comes true. Brandon had been some one I could confine no matter what the situation was because I just felt close to him. both our parents had been friends for years and they probably thought so were their children.
My mom and auntie Alyssa had been friends since high school and both of them have been single mothers which I don't thinking bothered them much. when I was young I would hear them talk about the old days when mom wanted her first born to be a boy and aunt Alyssa a girl but ended up with the opposites hence both of them naming us names that they had prepared for their first kids. They did not want to know the gender of the babies so they had even gone shopping for baby clothes and ended up buying those they thought were for their babies.
Brandon's mesmerizing eyes still had me drowning in them because he had grown and totally changed into a very fie looking species if I may say but never to his face because that won't end well. when I finally manage to take my eyes off the very fine looking species my mom decides its the right time to start teasing me.
"Did you see something you like ?"she asks as though she is talking about clothes or even food.
Shocked by her question I decided to ignore her and just walk to Brandon who engulfs me in a big hug while circling around like we are this very lovely couple who departed from each other for a very long time and now are back. I was totally sure I was grinning like an idiot because I could see so many angry faces of girls with judge mental looks plastered on their faces but did not care.
I walked towards auntie Alyssa who almost took all the breath out of my lungs because of the bone crushing hug she gave me but I still loved her like my own mom. she literally made the best cookies I had ever tasted mostly with this cold winter that feels like eternity.
We walked out of the airport like a family of four while Brandon decided it was time to start disturbing me because apparently I have had to much peace.
"So Drie how long has it been since you decided you did not want to talk to me?" both our moms decided to stop walking and turned to look at me causing me to give a hard glare to Brandon who as usual decided to act like he saw nothing just like I had done when I had first seen him. Revenge is sweet.
" Mildred is what Brandon said true?" my mom asks but I am still glaring a Brandon who has a big grin plastered on his face. My mom has always like Brandon like her own son so am sure hearing him say I blocked off contact with him she had to say some thing in his defense an also would not listen to what my reason was even though its not true. Brandon used my moms love to his advantage and made my mum his shield whenever he wanted something.
Seeing that the situation was in his favor Brandon decides it times to add more oil to the fire that he has set. "Drie you know how much that hurt when you decided that I should not be a part of my life anymore and changed all your social media and contacts?"
Whenever we used to have arguments as kids he would always call me Drie because others would call me Milie and he preferred to always be unique typical Brandon. I looked at aunt Alyssa and saw she was trying so hard to stifle her laughter but to no vail because she was almost bursting.
Mom just stood there looking at me in shock as though I had done the worst thing in the world because even when she was called at school cause of me fighting she did not look like this. I turned to her hoping for he to be my saviour and at least try to understand but that one a dead end.
I tried walking away but stopped in my tracks when I heard probably the loudest squeal of my name from an all top familiar voice that belonged to my and only............
