Chapter 56: Shy Cynthia

                             ***Shy Cynthia***

"Awwn, you wanna take him from us? Wish I could borrow him small." 

A girl said as Cynthia walked to me and heaved me up to my feet. 

"Do they live together? Oh my God, she is so lucky, I wish I could just be her, I swear."

Another girl said as she made this face which made her look like she was about to cry.

Now, both Cynthia and I left the school premises to the park where we had to get a cab home, but all the while starting from when we walked from the school till the time we got to the park and stood in wait for a cab, we found it difficult to say a word to each other, she was probably shy, Cynthia shy, I seriously do not know her as someone who could be shy, that is if I should judge by her usual character exhibitions. As we waited for a cal, I held her by the hand without airing a word, and she gave me a strong grip after which she bled out a sweet shy smile. Well, we were not there for too long before we found a cab that drove us home, it was when we got home that we finally spoke to each other, though we spent a little time in the taxi, we still said nothing to each other. So when we got home I said I won't just let her go home without a word. I held her by the hand and said:

"Take care honey, I love you, ok?"

And she blushed when I said this with her face buried in her head.

"I love you too. Can I go now?"

So she said, and I left her hand and instead of walking home as usual, she ran like I was chasing her, it was funny though, but still, it was sweet and cute. So I also took the other way that led to my house.

I was so excited that day, my whole system sang for joy as I walk, I felt this butterfly sensation in my stomach. When I got home, as usual mom was not home, she was still in her workplace, she won't be home till evening, so had to do some house chores before she comes home.

My mom said that I am the best son any mother could ask of, according to her, when It comes to protection, Im there for her, and when it also comes to care, I'm always there for her, even when it comes to keeping the home tidy, that I've never done bad. My mom loves me a lot, and she is always proud of me anywhere, and am I. She is also the best mom, I had been without a dad for almost eighteen years and I had never for once felt it, that was because mom had always filled the space of both mom and dad at the same time in my life.
