WHAT IF

58

            The car was parked and we got out, Stephanie and I were extremely tired but I just couldn't wait to see the look on Marco's face when I come in with Stephanie. I rang the door bell,
          "Urghhhh" Stephanie sighed hard.
          "We are here now." I said, I could tell how tired she was.
She smiled at me widely and I smiled too, Stephanie looked so good in everything, even when she was extremely tired just like now. We were dressed in some of Amanda clothes, not exactly nice clothes though, she gave each of us some shorts, more like Patras, and two of her stay home shirts, the only good thing was that she offered us jackets.
The door was finally opened by Jordy.
          "Finally." Stephanie heavily breathed out immediately walking inside. Jordy was frozen, looking at me from head to toe then back to my head.
           "Jordy." I greeted as I entered, he remained silent eyes on me. Was it the hair, my so unusual dressing, or my messed up face?
            "You're so stunning." Jordy finally said following me from behind. I totally expected this and I'm still expecting it.
            "You're so beautiful." he added.
            "Thank you." I smiled.
I sat down next to Stephanie in the sofas, she immediately leaned her head on my shoulder breathing out heavily.
            "How are you this tired." I asked.
            "how are you not this tired." she asked as well.
We ended up giggling, Andrew and Marco slopped down the stairs all their eyes on us.
             "Valerie...." Marco shouted happily. I smiled widely at him, as for Andrew he was so stunned to speak.
              Stephanie's phone rang,
             "Urghhhh." she loudly groaned. she stretched getting the phone out of her jacket pocket. 
             "DANIEL!!!!!" she loudly said, she seemed so surprised as to why he was calling.
             "Isn't that your ex?" I found myself saying out loud.
             "Yeah ..." She said, still thinking it through whether to answer or not.
               Before she decided on what to do, Marco hurriedly pulled the phone from her hands.
             "Marco..." Stephanie called but it was too late, he had already answered the phone call.
             "Do you have a death wish or any last words?" Marco angrily asked.
             "Exactly, that's what I thought but that's no excuse for me to forgive you motherfucker." he angrily added.
          "You messed with my girl and you're going to regret that for the rest of your life." Marco angrily said then hanged up.
Before we could all take in a deep breath and process his actions, he hardly threw the phone on the wall.
          "Marco!!!!!" Stephanie shouted.
But it was too late, the phone fell down on the floor in pieces.
          "I will buy you one tomorrow." he said sounding calm, he crossed his hands on his chest taking deep breaths in and out.
          "You're changing the number as well." he added.
I would be so frustrated and wondering why the hell he would go to that extreme but honestly I found it cute and fascinating.
           As the saying goes, tell me your friends and I will tell you who are, his behavior reflected Andrew immediately, also this showing how far they go for the ones they love like how Andrew was towards his step mother, they don't care the length they go as long as the ones they love are safe. I looked over at Andrew who seemed not as moved at how Marco behaved as Jordy and Emma were.
This brought a smile on my face, turning back to Stephanie who was not so happy at him breaking her phone.
            "Why are you smiling?" she moved her lips saying but not letting out a sound.
I smiled widely then bent down a little closer to her ear,
            "And you tell me he feels nothing romantic for you." I whispered. Stephanie giggled
            "Bitch, guy is in love." I added making the both of us laugh hard.
            "Val..." She said loudly laughing.
Andrew's eyes on me, he looked like he was thinking hard about something.
             "From a party?" Jordy asked.
             "The other one was not the kind of parties you know." Stephanie saud laughing making me laugh as well.
             "Sounds interesting." Jordy smiled.
             "It was a transformation party and Val you came out so beautiful." Marco said, he seemed more relaxed and back to the good mood.
We all giggled.
             "It was everything, I even discovered things I didn't know." Stephanie said.
             "Some of us turned out to be virgins, what are we saints." she added laughing. I know she was referring to me here,
              "Stephanie.." I said laughing while standing up, Everyone laughed. I would feel the curiosity in there tones.
My eyes were on Andrew who was carefully watching me as well, his eyes had something I could not explain, I would like him to explain what exactly those eyes and stares meant. His smile was full of admiration.
             "Beautiful.." His lips moved saying, only for me to read. I smiled shyly walking past him. My smile though not leaving my face, my heart was really flattered. I walked to the kitchen laughing leaving the rest involved in deep conversations.
             "I never thought I would witness the both of you this casual." Andrew said as I came out of the kitchen sipping my water. But honestly I as well never thought I would be this casual and lose, but this also got me thinking that Stephanie is also normally about work, dressed up tight, the only difference is that she has a life. Stephanie walked hurriedly towards me getting the glass of water from my hands sipping as well.
