Forgotten

Chapter 6

I can’t believe I actually saw him and here in the shop of all places. I feel utterly giddy while we are checking out. I kept looking around as we got the last things I was hoping to see him again, if only a glimpse, but I wasn’t that lucky. He must have left right after we saw each other. My head was so in the cloud I didn’t even noticed that we were done checking out. Liara bumped me. I looked at her confused as to why she was bumping me when I noticed the cashier was waiting for me to pay. The cashier actually looked nervous since we were only teenagers and we had bought a lot of things. Probably way to much for a simple beach party, but she likes being prepared. The cashier probably thought that we were pulling her leg and was going to run out leaving her to pack everything back. I pulled out my card and handed it to her with a slight smile.

She smiled back and went to swipe the card. I waited for her to finish she held on to my card until it was completely through, she most likely thought it would decline. This happens a lot actually, not that I go out and spend a lot of money, but there are occasions I do. Mostly on my fathers birthday. I need to get him things I know he’d actually use and which is of his taste. His taste is expensive. Other that I only use my card when I do reviews and when I need new clothes which isn’t often. In the beginning of Lyssa and my fathers relationship she took me out for clothes shopping quite often as a bonding experience. A result of that is to much clothes. We walked to Liara’s car and started to unload everything into her boot and her back car seat before we got in. Everything just managed to fit and we stacked it pretty high up. Liara pulled out of the parking lot and I was anxiously waiting for her to say something about Jacin. It’s such a nice name. I so glad that I finally know his name.

“I thought that you were insane chasing this boy I never imagined that you would really ever see him again and just like that you bumped into him again. Really, what is the odds of that? I must admit he is pretty cute with those shaggy hair and blue eyes. You were certainly not over exaggerating his looks. The two of you were so cute and the way he asked for your number because he doesn’t want to loose you again. It was so adorable.” I was red like a tomato by the time she finished. I guess we were really cute, well he was cute and I was awkwardly shy. I was just so shocked at seeing him there that I was caught of card. I really want to talk to him right now, but I’m sure Liara won’t allow that so I’ll just have to text him tonight. I’ve never texted with a boy, but I’m not sure if he can be classified as a boy he is more like a man. I don’t really know where we will be going from here. I don’t know if he longed for me as I had longed for him. All of this is so new and exciting.

“Yeah we were cute. I’m so nervous about tomorrow now. Now I want everything to perfect, but I also don’t want it to be to perfect because he already treats me like a spoilt princess. What do you think will happen? Do you think he likes me as much as I like him. What am I going to wear?” I started to rant while she suddenly burst out laughing.

“It’s so funny seeing you like this. You’re always so sensible and practical and now you are crushing big time. You’ve never even cared about what to wear. This is going to be so fun and entertaining.” I was glad my panic was entertaining to her. How am I going to get any sleep, because by the minute I feel more worked up. We drove to Liara’s house where we were going to leave everything for the party. As we pulled up her parents were about to leave. They got out of their car and hugged Liara goodbye before getting back in and leaving. I miss that, I want more than anything to be a whole family again. I miss my mothers tight hugs and my fathers laughter. I can’t remember the last time I heard him fully laugh out loud. I’d give up everything just to have it all back. We started unloading her car in the garage. We put the drinks in the freezer and sorted the things out according to day and night. After we were done we went inside the house. Liara started making us some hot beverages. She made herself some coffee and made me some tea. I started with the sandwiches. I made us some salami and perinaise with lettuce and tomato slices sandwiches. I took a photo after making it. I sometimes share the food I make along with my reviews since most of them are inspire by things I have ordered before. We went to the dinning room with our food, drinks and more importantly our schoolbags. We need to finish all out homework so that we don’t have to worry about it on Sunday when we are crashing from the party. I don’t drink but social events are very tiring for me and I will basically be a zombie all day Sunday. It’s a good thing I am grounded because all I’ll want to do is crash in my bed and sleep the day away.

We made a quick job of doing our homework and eating. We always do our homework so we were on date with it. A lot of people will not do their homework if they don’t have that subject the next day. I’d rather get it over with before I forget and don’t do it at all. When we were done we decided to watch a bit of TV since I didn’t want to go home yet. We watched a couple of music videos for about an hour before I got ready to go home. I wasn’t focusing on the videos my mind was only occupied with one thing…Jacin.

Liara dropped me at the gate once again. She waved at me as she drove of. I made my way up getting out my back up phone for Lyssa. As I opened the door she was waiting for me.

“I just love the way your father grounds you. You can come in whenever you want and go to the beach with your friends. It’s ridiculous. You’ll never learn if you aren’t punished. I’ll be sure to tel him that I should be in charge of your punishments from now on.” That be the worst thing to happen she will probably never even let me leave the house.

“I don’t understand are you made because my grounding isn’t what you expected? It’s strange because I feel that it’s fitting since I didn’t really do anything wrong and you know it. You just wanted me to be in trouble and you got your way like you always do. So why don’t you just leave me alone because I am following all the rules my dad laid out for me. Here is my phone.” I handed her my fake phone and started walking up the stairs.

“You are just a spoiled little brat and I will put you in your place one of these days. Daddy won’t always protect you.” I just ignored her as I walked up the rest of the stairs and to my room. I put my book bag done before going to take a shower. I really needed this shower it helped me relax I felt so pent up and energized. I still need to text Jacin. I’ll just send him a cute goodnight message. I just want him to know that I am thinking about him. Then I’ll go get some lavender and camomile tea to make me sleepy. I put on some thick and fluffy pajamas before jumping on the bed. I held my phone in my hand trying to convince myself to unlock it. Just as I was about to unlock it my screen flashed with a message.

[I’m so happy that I found you again. I gave myself until today to find you, because I’m starting a new job on Monday. I don’t know how I would have been able to stop looking for you. It’s strange how I don’t even know you, but I felt like I missed you]

My heartbeat picked up as I read the message over and over again. It gave me butterflies. I did the most girly thing I’ve ever done. I hugged the phone to my chest as I laid back on the bed and kicked my feet like a maniac. I was smiling so big that my cheeks actually hurt. He missed me like I missed him. My phone dinged again. I quickly put it on silent not wanting to be caught.

[I dreamed about you every single night. In my dreams I could never reach you. It just made me want to look for you more. I just wanted to know your name. I didn’t want to be strangers. I don’t know how this happened I was sure that I didn’t like you when we first met. It’s funny how attraction works. I’m texting this number not even knowing if this is really your number Princess for all I know you didn’t want anything to do with me and gave me a fake number just to get me of your back. Somewhere in the world someone could be reading this and laughing at how ridiculous I’m sounding.]

He didn’t sound ridiculous to me. I can’t believe he dreamed about me while I longed for him. I need to text him back.

[When are you going to stop calling me princess. If you dreamed about me you must surely not still be thinking I’m a spoiled brat]

I was playing it cool even though I wasn’t feeling cool in the slightest. My heart was leaping all over the place. I swear it was trying to escape from my throat. And jump right into my hands so that I could see just how much it was beating.

[So it is you. Nah to me you’ll always be that princess that spilled coffee all over me]

Two can play at this game. I settled into my bed and readied myself for this texting session. I kind of like the back and forth we had when we met I’m glad he challenged me and called me out even though I didn’t act like he accused me.

[Maybe you will always be the guy who manipulated me onto the back of his Bike][You enjoyed it on my bike I still remember just how tight you held onto me]    

I blushed I can’t believe he would mention that, but I also remember it I remember feeling his strong back against my soft chest. I remember everything from that day.

[That was because I was on that death contraption…it was also my first time on a bike.][I think that you only wanted to be close to me.]

The nerve of him to make assumption like that. Although next time I get on the bike and sit close to him it will be for that exact reason. If there is a next time. I just have to get through tomorrow and then see if he wants to see me again. I tend to get a bit weird when I arrange things. I want them to be perfect and I become anal about every tiny detail. In the end I usually don’t enjoy it because stressed so much to get it right. I don’t want to scare him off.

[I guess we’ll need to test that theory next time I ride with you] 

I flirted boldly I guess I want to try and ensure a next time.

[That’s fine with me. I might just speed up more to ensure that you hold onto me tightly}

I blushed at his text we were definitely flirting with one another. I have never done this before and I must say that I am enjoying it. Maybe it’s only enjoyable because it is him. I’ve never been interested before him. He seemed to wake this side of me up. I never expected this when I went to do that review at the docks. I guess you never expect to meet someone special. It’s part of the magic of it all.

[I fully intend to]

That was the bravest text I have ever send and I regretted it instantly. What if it is to much, what if I went to far? I grabbed a pillow and held it over my head. My mind was spinning and I wish I could take it back. I felt my phone ding, but I couldn’t look I’m to afraid to see what he had to say back to me. It took me a while to try and convince myself to take the pillow of my face and just look at the text message. Worse case scenario he thinks I’m to forward, but he pretends to be nice and plays it down. I do think if he didn’t like it he wouldn’t have replied. I slowly to the pillow of my face, but kept my eyes closed. I took a deep breath and just willed myself to do it. I opened my eyes and was about to look when I hear Lyssa’s heels coming in the direction of my room.

“What are you doing?” She said as she slammed my door open I need to get a damn lock for my door. I can’t just have her barging in here all the time.

“I’m not doing anything. I’m just laying on my bed. I’m trying to fall asleep.” I lied to her. Sleep was the last thing on my brain. We all know what the first thing is. She glared at me as she put the fake phone done on my desk and then she left. I pulled out my phone from under the pillow and looked at the messages.

[You better ;)][Goodnight princess. You need your beauty sleep. I will see you tomorrow. Just let me know how late and I will be there. I can’t wait to see you again]

The messages was more than she could have hoped for. It made not only her belly flutter, but her heart too. She quickly typed her reply back to him before putting her phone on charge and falling down on her soft pillows hoping dearly she falls asleep fast so that it could be the next day already

[Goodnight my Knight. I can’t wait to see you too, I will let you know about the time tomorrow. It was really nice talking to you. Sweet dreams]
