Chapter 41

*****Alex's pov*****

I was sitting on my bed waiting if she'll call back when I heard my phone ring. It vibrated actually. The name 'Michelle' written boldly on the screen made me smile. I picked it.

"Hey. What took you so long to call back?" I asked.

"My mom called me." She whispered.

"Why are you whispering?"

"It's past my bed time. My parents must not know I'm talking to a boy at this time." She whispered again. Her voice so soft and melodious in my ears.

"Oh. So will you come for my birthday?" I asked her.

"I'm not sure." Her soft voice sounded in the speaker.

"Why? Why won't you come?" I asked. My facial expression changed from happy and bubbly to furious. "Why won't she come for my birthday party?" I asked myself.

"I don't know how I'll convince my parent?" She said.

"I'll come talk to them if you want to." I said.

"Why did I say that?" My subconscious asked me.

"No. Don't come to our house." She begged.
