Chapter 331

"Do you have enough to afford a weeks supply of cupcakes?" Scott says looking at me and I'm practically flushing behind the ears now.

"Are you calling me poor?"

"I'm calling you very poor. You have spent almost half your allowance on clothes and other things just this month"

"When is aunt even going to come back?" I say almost crying.

I need some normalcy in my life, I need a figure that will be the one to wake me up and push me out of the house, telling me to go to school.

I need someone who will tell me that if I do not come back home early enough, she will lock me out and keep the digital key in her purse. I need her to come back.

"She says that her stay is till indefinite"

"I thought you said she was only going to spend a week" I say cocking an eyebrow up at him and it shrugs.

"I'm not really meant to control your aunt am I?".

Okay, true. True on all levels.

"I'm sure i still have enough to afford some cupcakes" I say looking at him and Oakley practically smiles.

"Do you have enough to afford a week's supply of cupcakes for me?".

It seems it is only now that I can see what is really at stake, it is only now that i consider exactly how much Oakley can eat.

I mean we're talking about cupcakes here, all right maybe she can't consume that much but still, she should be able to consume a very considerable lot considering the fact she always gets randomly hungry in the afternoons.

"I'll get it. I'll buy it for you, just flag five people down and talk to them".

She's still sitting down, a smile playing on her face and trying to hide the nervousness that she feels.

I can see it, I can see exactly how nervous she is and I'm smiling to myself. This should be some be fun.

 At least it's not every day that I get to see Oakley this nervous.

Scott is sitting down on a seat, limbs splayed out everywhere, and he's possibly getting stares from whoever passes by him. I'm guessing that his green eyes are not supposed to be sparkling in the cinema are they?.

"Do you know why you are attracting so much stares?" I say looking at him and he shakes his head.

"Please do not make me feel more worried about it".

Eras almost goes doubling over in laughter.

So it would seem that my brother has a little bit of shame anyways.

 He has a little bit of embarrassment in him. I thought he was a steel fortress before, one who could not feel anything but here he is, embarrassed in the cinema.

I smile to myself.

The embarrassment is only about to begin.

I send another text to my surprise guest.

He says he'll be here in ten more minutes. Ten more minutes until it all blows up.
