PLAYING THE PLAYER : A Better Player.

TWENTY-THREE|Memories.

"No. I'll tell you...... Someone had her first kiss today..." I shrieked.

Mom gasped and put a hand over her mouth. I swear,..sometimes,..this woman is more of a best friend to me than a mother..

"Oh My God!...my baby's growing!...." she exclaimed...

"Yeah..." I said blankly,..and my face fell.

"What's wrong honey?..." she asked,..lifting my face to meet hers...

....you're not happy?..."

I pushed her hand away and shook my head.."No...I'm not..."

"Why?...you tell me..."

I told mom everything that happened and what Aidan had said.

"Wow...So,..the boy next door kissed you and he said twaz a dare?..."

Mom asked and I nodded.

"I don't believe that..." she says,..and I arched a brow..

"What?..you think I cooked up this story?..."

She shook her head quickly..."No honey. I mean,..I don't believe it was a dare. If it was,..who's gonna tell his friends that he really did it?.....

That got me thinking.

....and my daughter's not a sloppy kisser. I can swear on that. Don't feel bad about it. At least something good came out of it. It earned you another kiss..."

I laughed at what mom said,..but she was dead serious. God! I love this woman. I knew talking to her will make me feel better and wash away the little anger I had left in me.

"Thanks a lot mom..." I said and kissed her cheek,..then headed to my room.

"I love you too honey..." she called after me.

I got to my room and my backpack knocked off something on my side table. I turned and picked up the picture frame.

The person I saw brought back a lot of memories. I sat on my bed, still holding the frame and caressed it lightly.

"I miss you so much dad..." I whisper to the man in the picture,..Wiping a lonely tear with the back of my hand.

"Do you have any idea that you're talking to an inanimate object..." A voice said to me.

The voice I despise.

My eyes snapped up to look at him. Aidan was in my room,..standing by my door.

"What the hell do you think you're doing here?.."

He didn't answer me but stepped closer....

"Don't move a step closer...or I'll call the cops..."

He froze,..and his eyes twitched..."call the cops and tell them what?...don't be absurd Ryder..."

"Shut up and leave while you can Martinez!...how did you even get into the house?..."

"..the front door of course. I don't walk through walls you know. Your mom let me in..."

Geez. That woman.

I let out an exasperated sigh.

I figured,..this boy won't leave until he does what he came for. And the sooner he does his shit...the sooner he'll leave.

"What. do. you. want?!..." i ask sternly and he moved closer...

"Stay where you are..." I warned and he nodded.

"I want us to talk Te...."

"Talk?...- I cut him off.

....what are we gonna talk about?...about What a sloppy kisser I am?..."

He face-palmed himself.

"Stop it Ryder. You're been difficult" he yelled in frustration.

That scared me a bit and I keep shut. Drilling holes through him with my glares.

"Look. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry about what what I said in school today. I shouldn't have said any of that..."

My eyes bulged out. Not sure I heard right.

"What?..." I asked,..looking at him suspiciously...

He sighed..."I know you heard me . And I also know that I'm not one to apologize,..so just know that this is a genuine apology...please accept it..."

Somebody pinch me please. Aidan used 'two' magic words.

Please and sorry.

I wasn't sure if I should believe him,..but knowing what he's like,...he might really mean it.

Normally, he would never say sorry even if his life depended on it. So I guess he really is sorry.

"I'll make it up to you..." he added before I could talk.

That sounds interesting...."what are you gonna do?"...I ask.

He thought for a while..."I'll take you out tonight..."

I arched a brow..."take me out?..."

"Yeah..."

"Where to?..."

"Let it be a surprise..."

Surprise?...

Screw that.

"Tell me. I'm still having second thoughts on forgiving you..."

He closed his eyes and breathed out slowly....as if trying to control a certain emotion.

"Fine. It's Asher's party..."

I thought about it and decided I should go. I think I should go out often now.

"Please..." Aidan begged.

"Ok..." I answer simply. A goofy smile played on his lips. It scares me how his expression changes in seconds.

"Thanks princessa. Pick you up at 7:00..."  and he left with that.

This had better be good..

Or I will just kill him.
