Trouble For Me

Chapter 37

The cab driver pulled over at the house I'm going to live into for the whole 2 years of college. I paid the driver and I made my way in the house.

First thing I did was to connect my phone. I knew there is a tiny possibility that they will call. But there's also a huge possibility that they won't even call.

I sighed and I immediately went to bed but I couldn't sleep. I wanted to talk to someone about this dream so bad. I basically dreamed a whole life with them and I can't forget about it.

Before I could think of anything else I heard the doorbell ringing. I got up and I run downstairs. I opened the door and a girl, probably around the same age as me, was standing there with a smile on her face.

"Hello.." I said

"Hi! I just noticed that you moved in this neighborhood and I wanted to welcome you" she said

"That's so sweet of you! Do you want to come in? The house is still a mess but if you don't mind come in" I said

She walked in "I'm Diane by the way!" I introduced myself

"Nice to meet you Diane, I'm Mary!" She said

"It's nice to meet you too!" I walked in the kitchen and she followed me

"I'm just going to make tea, do you want some?" I asked her

"Sure!" She smiled

"How do you drink it?" I asked

"2 sugars and a little bit of milk please" she said

I made the tea for her and me and we sat in the living room

"So how did you end up in London?" She asked

"I came here to start college..are you in college?" I asked

"I'm not in college, because I haven't really found what I actually want to do..What are you going to study for?" She took a sip from her tea

I took a sip from my tea and I got lost in my thoughts. What am I doing? I don't want to do what my mom wants. Mary brought me back to reality

"You okay?" She asked

"Yes. Actually. Ughh.. I was supposed to study to become a pastry chef but.. that's only what my mom wants, I don't want that." I said

"So..don't do that. What do you actually like to do?" She asked

"I love writing songs and singing but my mom always told me that I would fail and basically put me under pressure and made me follow her dreams" I said

"That's nonsense! If you really want to have a music career then I know someone that might be able to help you!" She said

"Are you serious?" I asked

"Totally! My boyfriend is in the music business. But you'll have to wait, he's currently on tour with his band" She said

"Wait a minute..which band?" I asked

"Queen, you haven't heard of them?" She asked

"I..uh.. no..nevermind" I quickly changed the subject

My phone started ringing and it caught me off guard. I quickly got up and I picked it up

"Hello?" I said

"Hi Diane!" I heard Brian's voice from the other end of the line

I didn't know what to say next

"Umm..so how are you feeling?" He asked

"How I feel about what?" I asked

"About what happened earlier. Are you feeling better?" He asked

"Oh yes, I'm feeling much better. Sorry if I caused any trouble earlier, I was really tired and when I'm tired-" He cut me off

"And when someone falls on you" he said and laughed softly

"Yeah..but I was mostly tired and that's why I-" he cut me off again

"Don't worry, I should be the one to apologize" he said

"It's okay.." I said

There was a short pause and then I heard Freddie's voice

"Oh for god's sake, give me the damn phone!" Freddie said and grabbed the phone away from Brian

"Hello darling!" He said

"Hi!" I said

"Sorry for the dull phone call, it's hard for Brian to talk to cute girls" he said

"That's okay" I giggled

"So tell me Diane! Are you seeing anyone?" Freddie asked

He caught me off guard, he's being so forward

"Why are you asking?" I asked

"Just answer the question" he said and I heard him laugh

"Um..no I'm not.." I said

"Great!" He said and then I heard him talking to someone else

"Hello? I can hear you" I said

"When we get back remind to set you up on a date with Rog-"

I cut him off "Excuse me?" I said

"What you don't want a date?" He asked

"I barely know you guys.." I said

"Oh, well in that case, in 3 weeks we're coming back in London, let's get to know each other better then" he said

"I don't know if I'm going to be fr-" he cut me off

"I'm glad we all finally agree! We've got to go, Bye bye!" He said and he hung up

"Well that was weird" I thought as I walked back in the living room

I saw Mary sitting on the couch and she was reading a magazine she found on the table

"Sorry it took so long.." I said and I sat on the couch

"That's okay!" She said as she kept reading "So who did you meet today, you know..except me" she asked

"It's kinda weird but I met someone by accident" I said

"What do you mean by that?" She put down the magazine

"Well, I was at the airport and this guy was running so fast and he literally knocked me down" I said

"Was that him on the phone?" She asked

"That was his friend..he just wants to be friends with me and" I took a deep breath "he probably wants to set me up on a date with one of his mates that were also there" I said

"What time were you at the airport?" She asked

"My plane arrived in London at 10am" I said

"I see..." She said "You met Queen, darling" she said

"What?" I asked

"According to my boyfriend they had to board the plane at 11am, so it's possible that you met them. Let me guess..Brian was the one who fell on you" she said

"Uh..yes..how do you know?" I asked

"He can be clumsy, when a woman draws his attention" she giggled

"You mean that he did it on purpose?" I asked

"Yes, I'm 100% sure!" She said

"Nah I don't think so.." I said and I looked at my watch "It's getting a little late.." I said

"Oh right..sorry I should go, you are probably tired" she said and her calm expression on her face disappeared

She got up and I walked her to the door before she left she stood at the door for a moment and started scanning me from head to toes, an uncomfortable hug followed, it's was like she didn't want to hug me and a bitter "Goodnight Diane" came out of her mouth

I tried my best to pretend that didn't just happen.

"Goodnight Mary, it was nice meeting you" I said and I faked a smile.

She finally left. I locked the front door and I went to bed
