For a moment I actually debate following Scott, i debate enduring this undescribable pain that I have in my legs and enduring the effects of the stupid decision that i had come through with and instead following my brother because he has some emotions he has not dealt with just yet.
It would be the honorable thing for me as a sister to do, but yet I would like to point out that I am an especially selfish sister. The first step I had taken in trying to follow him brought such a hard stab of pain to my legs that I simply shrugged that guilty feeling off and trailed my way after Eras and Oakley as quickly as I could.
I walk to the both of them barefooted, with Oakley barely being able to contain her laughter as she sees me.
"Isn't Scott coming along?" Eras asks with something of a worried look on his face and I shake my head.
"He said he'd prefer the walk". For a moment there i actually see something like disappointment flash through Eras's face before he gives me one of those smiles, those smiles that could melt my insides and still keep me breathing at the same time.
He opens the door for me like a gentleman and I feel especially embarrassed when I have to go in barefoot. I have to go in barefoot because I could not endure the sort of pain that wearing my heels brought to me.
Oakley hops into the back almost unable to contain herself as she breathes in and breathes out dramatically, taking in the scent of the vehicle in itself. I would have to say his car smells really nice, even if that practically isn't the whole essence of having a car, it's almost like an added plus when I noticed the faint hint of cherry blossoms and an especially exotic scent in his car.
"Your aunt got this for you or did you get it yourself?". He looks at me a little bit confused.
"What exactly are we talking about here?"
"Whatever you used to spray your car, did you get it yourself or your aunt got it for you?". He gives me a sly grin like he's amused at my question.
"Are you saying that I can't manage to make tasteful decisions for myself?" he asks and I give him a conspiratorial grin, "just for the main reason fact you had used tasteful just now I know you had not gotten it yourself".
Eras laughs an amused laugh and rearranges the textbooks in the three seats at the back. He looks towards the road with something of an unsure expression on his face.
"Forgotten how to drive?" Oakley asks, a smile on her face. "I can handle that for you, you know".
My heart practically slams in my chest as I realised exactly what she's hinting at.
"Don't even think of it"
"What???" she screams out in her excited tone, and i face forward, refusing to meet that delighted grin in her eyes. Oakley simply loves torturing me.
