Stop-2

  My dad is from Boston but my mom is from New York. After they got married, Dad had moved to New York for good. When Hughes Industries planned to open an office branch in Boston, Mom suggested to Dad to move in here, then Dad got his job at White Security Agency.

  “Serious about what, Sean?”

  “I wanna be your friend.” He scans my face.

  I chuckle. “Since when the notorious Sean Rexwell is running out of friends?” I ask him sarcastically.

  “I still have friends, but I want to count you in.”

  I roll my eyes and wince internally at the thought of being his friend. I guess my loyalty still lies with Hughes. “You know I’m not from here, right? I’m only here to visit my parents.”

  “I visit New York on a regular basis, Kiara. Why do your parents don’t fetch you if they know you’re visiting?”

  “Why do you ask too much?” I ask a little bit aggressively.

  “Hey. Calm down. I’m just asking,” H’s a little bit alarm.
