An unexpected twist

Chapter 6

"What important?" I asked her still making my way to the bathroom door.

"I don't know stupid, just come. Quick!"

Uh! Now what's with mommy. What's so important? Important from my sleepy mood?!

I rugged my feet on the bathroom floor and grabbed the tooth paste and my brush. I saw myself in the mirror. Blue eyes, tan skin, dark pink lips .. wow! I am perfect! Yeah!

I am Cassie Peers Blake and I am one in a million. I don't talk to people I don't like. They suck! Blah! I am super famous.The whole collage is my fan.. girl roam around me. Boys trying to get my attention, but poor guys, unlucky for them cause I like only me. I, ME and MYSELF! I am moody and I am the hot chick. Wow! I am rich, beautiful and what's left?, whatever is left, that's me too. Okay.. but today I am a sleepy head. Cause its Sunday. I came back from the party at 2.am yesterday. How am I even awake at 11.46 am! Its so early!

I rolled my eyes off the mirror and when I was done all from the bathroom tasks, I got out of my room and down stairs to the living room. I saw mom sitting on her chair in an elegant manner, drinking something.

"You called?" I asked her curiously.

"Hmm.. here sit down. I wanna talk to you something serious." She says as she place her drinking cup on the table next to her.

What serious? My heart beat fastens. DOES SHE KNOW ABOUT THE CLUB PARTY I WENT YESTERDAY? Shit! NO.. it must be something else. Or maybe that I cheated my whole final exam from the small chits I made? Or maybe that little girl told mom about how I made her complete my assignments? SHIT! DAMN IT! How can she know all these things. SHIT IT!... .. But she doesn't sound angry. Maybe it's not about my THESE things.

I hate the way all my sins come rushing into my mind when she says that she wanna talk something important!

"Bells.. you are at the age now when its time to be.."

"To be ..?" I asked her with coaxing my tone, hiding my nervousness within my voice.

"Well.. " She cleared her throat and continued, " You are about to graduate in a week and you would likely be starting a job after two or three months as you already got offered from the bank. I was thinking that you could.."

"I could.. what mom?",the nervousness in my tone was growing.

"You know..have some associates with you to live." She spoke which seemed that she is trying, finding for the right words.

I tilted my head in confusion. What is she talking about? Associates?

"'Mom, I can't understand you. What do you mean? Associates?"

"Bells, honey look.. when I was your age,. well, my mom told me that life is incomplete.. Umm. without someone. Like partner, you know.. "

"WHAT! YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT MY MARRIAGE OR SOMETHING!! NO! HELL NO!" I jumped out from the sofa as my brain choked after comprehending what was she trying to say.

"Honey.. relax.. calm down. Its not like what you're thinking. Relax.."

My mind was still comprehending the idea of getting married when I had so many lustful wishes in my heart. To me married was something like trap. I mean how can you live with same person all your life. And special thanks to my moody heart, it jut gets tried of people easily. My anger was flushing up but soon my ear caught voice of my dearest father.

"Hey Honey! What is offending my lil sweetie? Is it your mother again?", he asked in a coaxing tone.

My father was the one and only person on this earth I loved the most. There was no one who could ever take his place and what's more, I was his favorite. Seeing him was always a pleasure to my eyes and I would jump out my skin just to greet him.

"Daddy! You came!" I exclaimed with joy. "Look what mother is talking about. She wants me to marry someone. I don't wanna marry. Please daddy."

He chuckled softly and kissed my forehead. Then he greeted my mother and took to his usual form.

"Hi Rose dear. What's the matter now. She is only a child. We'll think about her marriage later."

"David, you always take side of your daughter. Look, you've spoiled her out of your love." She said looking at my frowning face. "She is old enough and I am not talking of marriage. Just that she should choose her life partner and be with him. Enjoy life as we used to do remember?"

My dad let out a peaceful sigh," Those days are gone Rosy, Let our children decide what they want to do with their lives."

I was just sitting there, hearing all their conversation and agreeing dad with every single of his remarks.

"But David dear..". Just then my father cut her out, "Rose we shall speak about it some other time. Don't worry, everything will be fine."

I was relaxed. I gave a departuring look to them and went back to my room. My mind was still full of my mom's words. At the least, it wasn't as bad as I reacted on that. I thought about all the boys that I used to hang out with. There was this boy named Henry. He was my cousin. He was cute and had soulful eyes and a handsome face. And then there was my childhood friend, Peter John. But I always called him John. He was undeniably attractive and he was the only person I trusted and told everything without being judged. Rest of the girls and boys were just fair weather friends. They just came and go.

I was occupied by my thoughts when a msg blinged up on my phone.

It read'Hey Bells come and meet me at my place. We got birthday plans to make for Henry.John'

Oh my God! I completely forgot that. I rushed out my bedroom with one quick look at the mirror and stepping down the stair case telling my mom where I was going and went out. John house was on the walking distance. As I continued my path, I smiled at the thought that John always remembered what I forgot. He was always so caring and we had a bond that no one could understand. He was there for me when I needed help and believed in my crazy ideas. He always said that I am too different for others to understand.

I reached at his house, banged his door but it was already opened. I went inside and saw him jumped at me.

"Hey Cassie!Are you nuts?.How can you forget to plan. Its already Friday and Henry's birthday is tomorrow!"

"I know, i know. Don't make a big deal out of it. We'll figure it out. I am thinking of inviting only close circle. His dad is still out searching for his little brother and his mom won't allow his to stay late. So we'll do things precise. By the way, speaking of moms, where is yours?"

"Oh yes, she is in her bedroom, sleeping. She is not feeling well. Just back pains, you know."

"Oh, I hope she will be fine. Okay then, lets start."

We went into the basement and started making plans and decorating it.

"Bells?", he asked while making the flower decorations.

"What?" I said vaguely.

"Is there anything going on between you two?".
