130 The Call
Donna
As I left the car and ran towards my neighborhood I was filled with excitement. I have never been this happy in my entire life. I was gifted a brand new phone, not just a phone but one of the latest iPhone, this is still not used to me. I was not used to people treating me so well especially when they know of my background, they try to isolate themselves from me, but Xander is different. I was the one that’s supposed to get him to fall in love with me, but here he is making me fall harder for him. He’s the first person that ever stood up for me, he chose me over the school most popular girl, what did I do to deserve such good fortune
Today I told him to stop in front of my neighborhood, I don’t want him to see the kind of house I live in. My neighborhood is already a poor sight, what if he stops talking to me, what if he hates me? All of these question keep on ringing like a bell in my ear, I already managed to get Xander to be my friend I’ve loved him for years now, and I don’t want to lose him
I got to my house and walk into our apartment,
“Mother!” I screamed in excitement and ran to her, she was sited on the couch folding clothes, I hugged her so tight
“My darling Donna” She called with smiles caressing my hair after hugging for a while we finally pulled away from the hug
“How are you doing? What’s that on your hand?” She asked pointing at the phone, I smile and looked at her
”Don’t worry mother I’m here to tell you all about it” I said sitting beside her
“Hmmm so tell me” She said giving me her attention
“Remember the guy I told you that I love and you advised me to confess my feelings to him?”
“Yes I remember”
“We’ve been talking for a while, I borrowed your phone to call him remember”
“Hmmm” She smile
“After school today he took me to a mall where they sell different kinds of phone, at first he told me to choose anyone I want but I was so afraid to choose since all the phones are so expensive, when he saw that I was so reluctant to choose, he picked this one for me and mother do you know what…. this is the latest iPhone”
“He’s really nice Donna, I think he’s from a rich background”
“Yes mother, he’s the second of the triplet and they all drive their separate cars”
“Huh?!”
“Yes mother”
“How do you intend to make someone as rich as that to love you Donna?”
“But mother you advised me to follow my heart and go for what I want”
“I never knew he was this rich dear, are you sure you can do this?”
“Of course mother, he’s been nice to me and he even stood up for me today when some rich girls wanted to bully me”
“Alright dear but don’t take advantage of his rich background, if you love him I want it to come from your heart okay? Cause good people like him are hard to come by”
“Okay mother”
“Go upstairs and freshen up then come down lets have dinner”
“Hmmm” I smiled and went up feeling so happy.
I went up to my room and pulled my clothes off before unboxing my phone though the server at the shop already unboxed it to put some of the things that Xander asked him to, my new phone was looking so gorgeous, it turned out Xandee bought a cute pin pack for the phone too, it was so beautiful I didn’t even know when he bought that.
I picked the paper I used to copy Xander’s number and wanted to save his number in my phone but it turned out that his number was already saved in my phone making me wonder if he did that too, of course who else will.
I rushed into the bathroom and took a quick shower after which I went downstairs and had dinner with my mother, we chatted a little before I retired to my room, I checked the time and it was almost past ten in the night
“Shit!” I curse, I chatted with my mother for so long that I didn’t know when time passed this much. I got on the bed hugging my pillow, I contemplated whether to call Xander or not, could it be that he’s already asleep by now, will I be disturbing him? After thinking for some time, I decided to call him regardless, I picked my cute phone and dialed his number,
“Donna” Came his deep voice, sending chills down my spine, I was so surprised
“You’re still awake?”
“You wished I had slept?”
“No.. no.. that’s not what I meant, I stayed up to keep mum company after dinner and I didn’t know when time passed so much, I’m so sorry for calling so late”
“That’s okay you don’t have to apologize”
“That was why I asked if you’re still awake? I thought you light have slept and my call might be disturbing.”
“Don’t worry you’re not.”
“Xander?”
“Hmmm?”
“Thank you so much for the cellphone, my mother is so happy she sends her greetings too?”
“Xander please can you stop by for lunch sometime?!” My mother’s voice screamed into the phone, I jumped up in fear and saw her leaning by the door making me wonder when she walked in.
“Mother……” I whispered.
“Of course mother I’ll stop by some time” Xander said.
“No Xander you don’t have to listen to my mother” I said almost in a pleading tone.
“But I want to…” Xander dragged, I can imagine him smirking right now.
“Thank you dear Xander I will be waiting” Motherscreamed yet again.
“Mother……goodnight time to sleep” I said looking frustrated she finally left my room and I slammed the door shut, gosh…
“I’m visiting your house soon.”
“Huh…Xander you don’t have to.”
“Sleep like a baby, goodnight” He said and hung up. Gosh….. I ruffled my hair, what if he sees my apartment and distances himself from me? I don’t want to lose him, not when he’s already my friend and I have fallen so hard for him.
