chapter 1

Clara's POV

I woke up feeling very weak and tired, I slept really late last night because I spent the whole night watching romance series and now I can't feel my body.

it was few minutes past ten when I got up from the bed to go freshen up when I heard noises coming from the living room.

I went to take a peak on what the fuss was all about ,only to see my grandma hitting my kid bro Maximilian, and yelling at him for always being irresponsible and flirting around with girls,I signed and left them both to continue with their drama.

There is never a quiet time in my family ,there always seems to be one or two things going on.

my family is not the that fancy like all other families but it's quite the best, I lost my parents at a very young age due to a terrible accident

It was a day I would never be able to forget,

On a Sunday morning,my self,my mum, Dad and my kid bro were on our way to church.

when we got to the front of the building,i and max got down from the car and left dad to go pack the car at the back with mum still sitting at the front seat,on their way to the parking lot another car bumped into them ,crushing them through the walls.

my dad died Instantly but my mum survived but not for too long before she gave up and passed on.

so that was how my kid brother and i found ourselves leaving with our grandma and she has been all we've got.

Max's POV

Grandma stop hitting me you are hurting me , I pretended to be in pain.

Grandma let me be ,I never forced any girl to be with me

They always come to me on their own so stop blaming me when ever you see them crying.

They want me to fall in love with them which is impossible and am not ready for relationship. And yet they won't let me be.

Then stay away from them, whenever ever they come close to you,chase them away

and they will let you be Grandma said to me,

I felt like laughing at her words but I had to hold it back

Then I told her that I can't chase them away,it will be so heartless of me

it's not my fault that am so cute that they can't resist me

I can't chase them away grandma I smirked as I left her speechless and ran out of the house

I heard her screaming my name but I acted like I didn't hear her

Clara's POV

After freshening up I went downstairs and headed down to the kitchen cause I was already hungry

When I got to the kitchen I saw grandma doing the dishes I immediately ran towards her to stop her doing what she was doing

She gave me her one of her scary look that I froze at the spot I was standing.

I tried talking to her but she was still staring at me so I just kept quiet till she finally spoke.

Why are you just waking up she asked me with a very calm voice as if she wasn't angry,but behind the calm voice I know that there was a ticking bomb about to explode

I taught of the perfect words to say but I couldn't think of anything,and I can't tell her that I spent the whole night watching romance series

I signed and said nothing

she just stared at me for a few seconds which felt like hour's,then I went behind her to hug her and told her that am sorry for waking up late and making her do all the chores alone , that it's never going to repeat it's self again "I hope " I muttered the last sentence in my head

Then she signed in defeat and smiled at me ,when I felt she was a little bit calm I left her and turned to face her then I told her am sorry again making a cute baby face

She just smiled at me and told me that she wasn't angry at me and she knew what I was doing all through the night.

I was shocked for a moment before I remembered that she's still my grandma,very sneaky as always.

You would have called me to come join you instead of watching alone Grandma said, I wasn't surprised though because we normally watch movies together mostly romance movies

Grandma has always been a lover of romance and she always tells max and I about her teenage age,how she loves to make fun of guys,go clubbing with her friends,and she loves movie date

She mentioned that she also had a diary that she write out all her taught, how she felt either Happy or sad ,and how she claims to be writing a letter to her husband to be

She would tell her diary about all the guys she saw each passing day and that her husband isn't one of them,that was why she hadn't stopped writing

That once she finds her husband to be she would stop writing and focus on her husband

She bought me a diary on my eighteenth birthday, telling me that I am now a lady,and I will be getting into a relationship soon

so I should also write a letter to my future husband that it would help me a lot

And I didn't understand how writing in a diary would help me but I just accepted it

So I ended up writing letters to my future husband even though I found it weird but I still enjoy it.

After grandma left the kitchen I ate my breakfast and completed the dishes then I got mad at my self for making grandma do the cooking, cleaning and almost the dishes by her self

I felt bad though but there was actually nothing I could do about it
