Coincidence

Chapter 6

~+ Ken's POV +~

So I get to be upstairs, just Sam and me. Alone again. I start playing with Sam and hugging him because he's soft and smells like..... cologne? Don't know how that got there. I pull my phone to see that I have a message. It was from my dad.

" Hey Ken, almost done with my work. I'll be down soon, in about a couple days. Love u."

I decide to text him back since he is my dad and I'm still waiting for him.

"Awesome. Come down as soon as possible. Love u too."

I lie down on the floor because the carpet was so soft. Sam lays next to me putting his head and resting it on my stomach.

"Do you like it here boy?" I ask him sitting my head up. He looks into my eyes with some satisfaction then gives me a little bark. As soon as that happens, I hear mom come through the front door.

"Hey I'm home. So where's Kenna and did I just here a dog?" mom asks with concern.

"She went home. Left. She left about 2-3 hours ago," Bo responds saving my be-hind.

"And the dog?"

"Neighbors."

"Oh thank goodness. Grilled cheese?"

"Yup. You want some?"

"Yes. I had a rough day at work."

"Sorry, but now you can relax."

The aroma of the grilled cheese slowly started making its way upstairs and up my nose. It smelled so good and I was so hungry. My phone went off, destroying the moment. I quickly pull it out of my pocket and turn it on vibrate, trying to shh it. Sam sat up in alarm.

"Did you hear that?" mom asked attentively and alert.

"It was my phone, I left it upstairs," Bo says tucking her real phone behind her shirt. I hurry to see who text me. It was Zack.

"Hey this is Kenna's number right?"

I quickly text back, trying not to be rude and besides it was kind of getting lonely up here.

"Ya, this is Kenna. Zack right?"

"Yea so what r u doin?"

"Hiding upstairs from my mom, u?

"Y r u hiding from ur mom?"

"Long story, u basically saw it this morning."

"O I c."

"Well i have to go, suppers almost done."

"K cya."

I put my phone away, waiting for Bo to bring me my food because I have a high metabolism and require lots of food. I hear foot steps then they suddenly stop.

"And where do you think you're going," mom said stopping Bo.

"Upstairs to eat," She responds trying not to be suspicious.

"No. We can have a nice family dinner. Just the 2 of us. Mother daughter bonding time."

"Yea, ok," she says sounding very disappointed knowing that I'm gonna starve up here. I could hear them enjoying their meal. I sat in the middle of the floor criss-crossed putting my hand up to my face holding my head up. My bangs fell in my face so I kept blowing them away, childishly. Then I had the perfect idea. I'm gonna sneak out and get some food. But before I do that I wrote a note for Bo when she comes up here so she knows I left.
