Her Choice

Chapter 14

"Yeah, yeah."

We watch movies on Netflix from my laptop till five in the evening. Kiki needs to leave now so she can get ready for the party. I get my keys, and we leave the house.

We drive out and head towards Kiki's house. "I want to meet Alpha."

"Of course you do."

"I really want to. I want to see who Laroi is up against."

"Laroi is not up against anyone. There's no competition." I explain to Kiki.

"I still want to see him." I only smile instead of giving her a reply.

We arrive at her house, and she steps out of the car only to pop her head back into the window. "You should come with me."

"Not again, Kiki."

"Ok, OK. I was just trying for the last time. Bye, babe."

"Have fun." She blows me a kiss and walks away.

I drive off and get home in record timing. I don't bother going back to my room. I log into Netflix and resume with 'The Summer I Turned Pretty'.

Dad comes home first. "Hey, dad. How was your day?"

"It was OK. How was school?"

"Cool."

"Cameron?"

"Yes, dad."

"Don't you ever go out?" This surprises me. I pause the series and look up to my dad.

"I mean." He continues. "You're always home. Don't you go out like Olivia?"

"I'd rather stay home, I guess."

"Hmm. She'd rather stay home." He keeps repeating it till he leaves the parlour.

"Will you need anything, dad?"

"No, honey. I'll be in my study"

"Ohk." I resume my show and get comfy again. Next mum returns. We have a cordial greeting. She asks where dad is and leaves to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Olivia returns later on.

"Hey."

"Hi."

"What are you up to?"

"Just watching TV. "

"Cool."

"Cool." She walks up to her room, and all I hear is the sound of her door as it closes behind her.

It's nine pm now, and I'm proud to say that I've finished season 2. I am a little sad that I've finished it already, but I was too reeled in to take a pause from it. I walk to the kitchen considering that the last thing I ate was pizza, and I am hungry. Mum made spaghetti. I dish a little to my plate and sit on the table to eat. After eating, I rinse my plate and take a bottle of water from the fridge. I walk to my dad's study and knock on the door.

"Dad, you still in there?" I open the door to see him typing on his laptop.

"Still here, darling."

"Don't sleep too late, dad."

"You too, honey." I close the door and walk to Olivia's room. I still feel bad about what happened Sunday night, so I was wondering if she would like it if we had a sleepover. I know it's weird since we're sisters and live in the same house, but I'm still going to ask.

I arrive at her room and knock while opening the door slowly. "Olivia? Can I come in?"

"Yeah." Although I'm already in the room.
