EPISODE 9
I got home that day and took my shower before putting on a conformtable cloth and heading down for dinner.
After that I went back to my room to search the web of how to make the nine planets for our project and my meeting with James tomorrow.
I heard a soft knock on the door and I expected to see Beatrice but instead Naomi walked in.
âNaomi!!â I scre-med with excitement and rushed to hug her and she seemed kind of surprised by that.
âwhat?â I asked, cause she was looking at me weirdly.
ânothingâ she quickly said and walked to my bed, grabbed my laptop and turned to me
âwhat are you doing?â she asked.
âoh, just searching the web for our school projectâ I replied and she nods.
âokay, whatâs the project?â she asked.
âitâs making the nine planets out of balls or anythingâ I replied and she gasped. âoh maybe I can help, Neilâs made stuff like that beforeâ she said happily. Neilâs Naomiâs older brother whoâs in college.
âreally?â I said and rushed up to her.
âyeah, he made it out of papers and crayons, water colours and markersâ Naomi replied.
âwell wish you could help but Iâm going over to James house tomorrow, maybe I can share this idea with himâ I said laying down.
âJames house!!â Naomi towered me.
âkeep your voice down! My parents could hear youâ I whispered yelled!
âyour parents are not homeâ .
âyeah, but Beatrice is.. And maybe you donât know but sheâs a blabber beakâ .
âokay, I wonât yell but James house, when did you two start to get closeâ she asked with a full grin, and I couldnât help the excitement that filled in me.
âwell I donât know, but weâre pretty close now.. And luckily we happened to be partners on our history project.. Isnât it rom-nticâ I said dramatically and Naomi laughed.
âyeah you guys are more rom-ntic than Romeo and Julietâ she said sarcastically and I threw her one of my pillow, âdonât joke with our beautiful relationshÂĄpâ I smiled.
I suddenly sit up and held my hand. âhave a sleepover tonightâ I said happily and she slipped her hand out of my grip.
âI donât know.. Iâm not sureâ she said and I rolled my eyes.
âCâmon please!â I said and wiggled her shoulder.
âwe can both have one of our lovely tete-a-teteâ I added in a funny British accent and she laughed.
âokay first, I have to check with my mom firstâ she said and brought out her phone. Dialed Her momâs number and called her mom.
âhey momâ she said happily and I watched her solemnly.
âyeah, Iâm at Samanthaâsâ she said and I quickly grabbed the phone from her hand.
âHey Mrs Alexei, itâs me Samanthaâ I said happily.
âSamantha how are youâ she said happily.
âIâm fineâ I replied.
âI thought I was talking to Naomi, where is she?â.
âNaomiâs still here, I just took the phone from her, I just want to know if youâd give Naomi the permission to have a sleepover here?â I said and bit my l-ips.
âdoes she wants to have a sleepover there?â Mrs Alexei asked.
âyeah,â I replied
âgive Naomi Back the phoneâ Mrs Alexei instructed and I gave Naomi the phone.
âwhat?â Naomi said into the phone.
âyeah, I doâ she bossed quickly while I watch with anticipation.
âokay thanks momâ she said and dropped the phone.
âso?â I asked.
âshe said yesâ naomi grinned Naomi grinned and I gasped happily.
*
It was 12:22am Naomi and I were both alone in my room and on my bed still talking, weâre on our pajamas and weâve both passed our bedtime. If my mom was home she could have yelled three times for us to fall asleep.
âyou missed that sâą0tâ I said to Naomi who was painting my nails with a peach colored nail polish that rhymed with my finger.
âhey, Iâm the painter donât correct meâ Naomi said and I rolled my eyes.
âI need it to be prefect for Jamesâ I smiled .
âyouâre way to obsessed over James, heâs taken some part of youâ Naomi stated and I raised her head to look at me.
âis it a bad thing?â I asked inquisitively and she smiled.
âfor you, itâs definitely a good thingâ.
âwhatâs that supposed to me, for you itâs definitely a good thingâ I mimicked her almost tiny voice and she laughed. âjust forget I said that cause..â.
âcause what?â I asked.
âcause Iâm done.â she replied dropping the nail polish and placing itâs lid. .
âwow youâre giftedâ I smiled staring at my nails.
She got up from my bed and walked out of my room, and later came back with a bowl of water.
âokay dip your fingers in hereâ Naomi instructed and I did. And after a minute I removed them and she went to dispose the water while I cleaned my hands with a dry towel.
Naomi came back and got into the bed lying down. âIâm sleepyâ she announced.
âIâm notâ I tell her.
âitâs because youâre too excited to go over James house tomorrowâ.
âhow did you know!!â I gasped.
âsammy, itâs written all over your faceâ Naomi said and I touched my face and laughed making Naomi laughed too. But then I paused.
âyou know how I told you how I almost k-ss James yesterday!â I said and she nods.
âthe truth is, if he shouldnât have resisted that k-ss he would have totally be disappointed in me cause I donât even know how to k-ss?â I said sincerely and Naomi sat up. âreally?â she beamed.
âwhy are you smiling?â I asked.
âcause, you know..
âknow what?â I raised my brows at her.
âI thought you knew everythingâ she said still smiling.
âdonât mock me Naomiâ I warned. And she stopped smiling
âI am not mocking you, looking at someone like you, k-ssing would be the least problem in your list, since Youâre perfectâ..â she said and did air quote around perfect. Which made me release a sad sigh. What she just said hurt and itâs still hurting, but sheâs right.
âokay maybe when it comes to k-ssing, Iâm not perfect, but Iâm sure you donât even know how to k-ss too, so weâre both in the same shoesâ I tell her.
âuhm.. Donât you remember Daniel.â Naomi said in a âduhâ tone.
Daniel was Naomiâs first boyfriend.
âwhat do you think we did while weâre together, Stare at each other all day??â she said sarcastically and I sighed. Looks like Iâm the only one who hasnât dated or k-ss any one before. Maybe Iâm not that perfect.
âokay I give up, you win maybe Iâm not that perfectâ I said and she laughed. âyouâre still perfect to meâ she smiled and held my hand.
âreally?â I said and she nods.
âthanksâ I smiled.
âbut what am I gonna do if james k-ss meâ I whined like a child.
âyou go with the flowâ Naomi replied.
âgo with what stupid flow, what if I ended up biting his l-ips and he ends up in the hospital heâll never be friends with meâ I said rushing my words which made Naomi burst into laughter. And I glared at her.
âIâm sorry.. She apologized.. âitâs just weird and funny seeing you this wayâ
âwait, Naomi you know how to k-ss right?â I asked happily and she nods. âwhy whatâs wrongâ
âpractice with meâ I said and held her hand.
âwhat?! Weâre both girls,â she half scre-med!
âyeah I know and it doesnât matterâ I rolled my eyes.
âit does matter!â she said and moved back. âwell I donât care cause Iâm not gonna embarrass myself in front of Jamesâ I said and pulled her head towards mine while she moved her head back. âwhat is wrong with you samâ she struggled out of my grip.
âJames is wrong with meâ I replied and with the force weâre having we both bumped our foreheads into each other. And burst into laughter.
âIâm crazy right?â I laughed.
âmore than crazyâ she said and we kept laughing until I felt sleepy and decided to just go to sleep.
//
The next (morning) day, I woke only to find Naomi not beside me, and I grabbed my phone to look at the message she left for me *good luck with James* I smiled and dropped my phone, thatâs Naomi for you, whenever we have a sleepover she wakes up before me and the leaves a message.
I got out of my bed and walked to my closet grabbing my yoga p-nts and a sweater. I removed my pajamas and wore those instead.. And I went to jog, after jogging, I took my bath, brushed my teeth, wore the most beautiful, decent and extensive dress from my closet, all my clothes are expensive but this particular one, is worth trillions of pounds.
I ate breakfast made by Beatrice as always and after that I packed my blonde hair in ponytail and carried a small black bag which I place my man and space in.
âBeatrice!!â I called and she ran up to me.
âyes missâ
âIâm going over to a friendâs house for our history project if my mom comes home tell her that or she can call meâ I said and Beatrice nodded.
While I walked out of the house and got to my limo, âEvansâ I called and he turned âgood morning missâ he smiled .âgoing somewhere?â he smiled.
âyeah, take me hereâ I said and showed him James address from my phone.
âno problem maâam Hop inâ he said and I got in my LimousineâŚ
*
âWeâre here maâamâ Evans announced though the limo phone and he stopped the car. I got out of the car and I was standing in front of a big house.
âare you sure, this is the right placeâ I asked Evans just to be sure and he nods.
âI cross checked the address maâam this is the placeâ Evans said and I nod.
âokay just stay around the blockâ I tell him and he nods.
I walked to the huge building, walked in the small open gate and moved to the front porch, I decided to knock not seeing the doorbell stopped first but stopped when I saw the door bell, I pressed the door bell and no one answered. So I pressed it again, and again. And again but no one answered, I hate waiting. I pressed it for the fifth time and gave up that no oneâs home ..i turned back to go back home when I heard clicking sound and my name.
âSamantha??â I heard his voice and I turned swiftly.
âJamesâ I smiled. He was wearing a loose sweater and a short, his hair w-t and cereal box in his hand.
âI didnât know youâd be here earlyâ he said while I walked closer to him.
âitâs just 11:40, itâs not that earlyâ I primped.
âI just woke up like five minutes agoâ he said and I shrugged. âI like being earlyâ I tell him and walked in,side his house without him telling me to.
He closed the door and walked in too. His house looked nice expensive and fancy, just like my taste, weâre the same class, we have one thing in common.
âCâmon letâs go to my roomâ he said I nod. He shoved his hands in the cereal box and grabbed a hand full of Kelloggâs Apple jack and shoving it in his mouth.
âis that how you eat cereals?â I asked.
âthatâs how I enjoy itâ he replied and I rolled my eyes. As we walked through the hallway I saw frames of James parent and he looks so much like the woman I saw, who I assume is his mother. And then moving to other frames were pictures of boys and I donât know how many cause they were many and James and I were moving but I stopped
âwho are they?â I asked pointing to the picture of the boys..
âmy brothersâ he replied.
âall of them?â I asked and he nods, and I tried counting them.. âdonât bother Iâve got eleven of them, ten made by my mom and one adopted and together weâre twelveâ he said and I gasped âwhoaâ softly.
âand thatâs meâ he said and pointed to a little boy at the eight side of the picture.
âwow, youâre so adorableâ I smiled looking at him, heâs so little here and his hair was cut so low, unlike now.
âthat was taken four years agoâ he said and I nod, if thatâs taken four years ago then he grew up pretty fast.
We got to his room and likewise mine, his wasnât as wide as mine, but it wasnât claustrophobic either. We got on his bed and brought out the book.
**
We both talked about the book âman and spaceâ which was remaining only three chapters for James to finish so I had to summarize the remaining three chapters for him before reading it.
I shared the idea of Naomiâs paper planets to him and he liked the idea..
He suddenly talked about how man and spaceâ reminds me of a movie he watched and he asked me if I knew that movie. And I told him I havenât watch any movie my wh0le life.
âwhat you havenât watch any movie your wh0le life?â he asked again and I nod.
âaside Romeo and Juliet, looney tunes.. No. No oneâ I said and he arched his brows.
âwow! May I ask why?â
âmy mom thinks itâll let me loose interest in a lot of things and she wants the best for me, since I grew up without watching movies I got used to it and I also think it a distraction from many thingsâ I said and he laughed.
âbummer!â he said.
âcause if you have watched movies youâd have knâ.. He stopped talking.
âI would have what?â I turned to him.
ânothingâ he shrugged.
âreally? Cause I think youâre about telling me somethingâ importantâ I smiled and moved closer to him.
âit was nothingâ he said lowly.
âwell I like to know this nothing you speak ofâ I said and he smiled. âyou know our faces our apart rightâ he said and I didnât know the time I got so close to him.
âoh sorryâ I said and moved back a bit. Gosh I canât control myself.
âitâs okay, I enjoy your companyâ he laughed.
He enjoys my company.
âso you donât mind it when I come close to youâ I asked and moved closer to him.
ânope I donât mind itâ he said staring at me, we were so close and that feeling came again and I went for it AGAIN I canât k-ss and Iâm still going for it. But this time he reciprocated. And I just went with the flow.
