More than friends

chapter 7

He stared at her as she watched him. His breath caught in his throat afraid of what she might say to him. This was the reason he didn't want her to know it was him earlier because she would have refused to follow him.

He'd come to visit her mother and grand ma ,he didn't have any idea she would be coming as well until her grandma had told him and asked him to bring her home.

He had felt a lot of things when she had held him earlier,her slender hands tightly held around his waist. Not to mention feeling her snuggle behind him, he didn't know how to explain it,just that he loved the feel of her near him.

Even in the mist of darkness ,he could still see her beautiful face staring at him,the moon did a good job with that. He averted his gaze to his helmet in his hand as he placed it carefully on the bike.

"Chris my child,we can't thank you enough" her grand ma hugged him as she led him inside past mia. Mia's mom took ahold of her bag seeing that Mia's attention was fully on Chris. " let's go in honey,its about to rain" she dragged mia inside.

She stepped into the house as she replaced her shocked face with a happy expression. She remembered everything. She loved it here. Her grand ma had led him to the kitchen and she was grateful at least.

Her mom dragged her upstairs to her room." You must be tired, get changed and come downstairs " she said dropping Mia's bag on the bed which was still unmade. " mom ,what's he doing here? " she voiced her curiosity.

"What do you mean what's he doing here,he's like family,he came to see us, considering he couldn't ask you for that" that was true but she didn't want to accept it.

"Why today,did you call him over,it seems too Much of a coincidence"

"I didn't,he was supposed to leave earlier but gran made him stay,she doesn't know about .....the ....you know....thing that happened between you guys"

True,she didn't know mia had slept with Chris yet but she knew about Mia's endless crush on him. She even used to help her scam some stuff to bring them together back then.

"Yes I know ,I promise, I'll tell her soon,oh God,this day couldn't get more worse" she sat on the bed.

" one more thing,um his things are here ,he kinda planned to sleep here, gran made him" she left the room.

"What!" She fell back on the bed. Her hand went to her necklace,she gasped, "oh my God, he saw it, he saw me wear it!" She panicked. She cleared her head ,she had to be strong if she  wanted to face him in minutes.

She got up from the bed as she searched through her bag for her nighties. They were awfully skimpy as she didn't expect a male company. She put it on anyway.

She spotted his things on the window seat ,as she couldn't help but want to touch them.  She grabbed his shirt, plain white but awfully large. She brought it to her nose as she smelt it. It smelled like him,all this while and she still recognized his scent.

Her fully open  door squeaked a little and she turned towards it only to come face to face again with him. She flushed with mortification as she spotted his eyes go to her hand which still held his shirt.

"Mph mph" she cleared her throat as she dropped the shirt back. He didn't come to take his things but to talk to her. " I'll be downstairs " mia said as she hurried out of the room. He smiled seeing she still loved holding his things, but that wasn't what he came for.

Minutes later,they were all seated on the dinning table. Gran at the head of the table,her mom at her left and Chris at her right. Mia sat beside her mother on the left. They started eating,but mia felt uncomfortable as his eyes spared her a glance from time to time.
