Chapter 6: 6. The Holiday
Karen you drank so much last night, anything on your mind.
Michelle,you care too much. I'm fine I said while faking a smile.
Are you sure. You were saying "he doesn't care about my feelings". Did someone break your heart.
Michelle,I'm fine. No one broke my heart. Maybe I said those whacky things because of the movies I watch.
Okay,but if you have anything on your mind you can always share with me.
I'll come to the master of relationship,I teased her.
The monthly test results came out and I passed. I'm so happy. Dad changed my phone to an iPhone 15 promax because I passed. Dave also passed the exam. His score is higher than mine. I feel bad because the term is about to end and mum says we're spending the holidays in NYC. She misses NYC. I don't know if dad and Dave are coming with us.
I've been sad all day. It not fair when you're in love with someone and the other person doesn't care. I watch Erica giggle around him. She has been around him lately. I saw Jade glaring at Erica with bad eyes.
I hate boy. I cried inside of me.
The term finally came to and end. We are spending the holidays in NYC. I'll miss everyone including Dave.
The maids helped us with our luggage.
Karen,mom called me. Are you sure you'll need all this luggage. We are not moving back to NYC and we are going to live in Richard's mansion.
I laughed. Mom I need to be prepared for anything. The luggages are just okay.
Okay,she kissed my forehead. Be quick. I don't want us to miss our flight.
I went inside to carry my hand bag. Dave didn't bother coming downstairs. I walked towards his room. I wanted to knock but changed my mind and headed downstairs. It's no use telling him I'm leaving.
Baby, Leslie hugged Richard. I'll miss you.
I'll miss you too but we'll join you in the best two weeks.
That's far,I said while pouting my mouth. Two weeks feels like two years to me.
He kissed my lips. Don't worry,it will come in a flash. We hugged,said our final goodbye and John drove us to the airport.
Karen,are you okay. You've been staring outside sadly. Anything bothering you.
No mum. I'm just missing Australia.
I smiled and held her hand. I also miss Australia but they'll join us in two weeks. You won't have to worry once they are here.
Really,I asked happily.
Yes,now smile for momma.
I smiled at her. At least they are coming in the next two weeks. I'll see Dave again.
Two weeks came in a flash. I'm so excited. They're coming today. Life feels good when you're rich. We are living in his mansion.
Karen,I miss you.
I laughed over the phone. I miss you too. How is Jack.
He's fine. I'll book a flight and come over to visit you. I got a lot of gist for you.
Okay,but come two weeks before resumption.
Okay,I'll talk to you later. Bye.
Bye. I hanged up.
I went downstairs. Mom already went to airport with Marcus. He's the chaffeur here.
Hours passed and finally the door bell rang.
I'm coming. I opened the door and they entered. I stared at Dave as he entered. He's more handsome than before.
They settled down and we had dinner as a family.
Karen,dad called. Do you like this house.
I nodded. It's great.
I'm glad you do. And I'm happy to have you as my daughter.
Awwnn,I tried not to blush. I'm also glad I've a good father. I caught Dave rolling his eyes. He hasn't talk to me.
We ate to satisfaction.
I stared at the ceiling of my room. I can't sleep because I'm thinking of Dave. He had no idea how he hurts me everyday. I drank warm milk and eventually drifted into sleep.
Karen, wake up. Mom yelled. You're sleeping too long.
I groaned. I did my stretches and took my bath.
Morning Mom. Morning Dad. I sat down. Everyone is at the table.
You love to sleep,mom teased me.
I laughed and we ate.
So I was thinking of going to the beach to have some fun.
Dad,that's a great idea.
He chuckled,you love fun. We ate as a family. Chatting, giggling and laughing. Dave remained silent throughout the feast.
We packed for the beach. We are going to have a beach pinic too.
I got down from the car. The sand feels warm on my legs. Everyone changed into swimsuit. Dave looks extremely hot. I nearly fainted when I saw him.
Karen looks sexy in her swimsuit. Too bad she's innocent I would have fucked her ass. She knows nothing.
We had our picnic. I went to swim. I didn't get too close to the water. Suddenly a huge wave occured pulling me into the water.
Help! I yelled trying to maintain my balance in the water. The more I tried the more I drowned.
Karen. Oh my God. My baby.
Leslie calm down. We'll save her. I can't wait till they get someone to save her. She'll drown before then. I entered the water. Swimming fast. I can only see her hands. I swam faster. I grabbed her hands and pulled her up. I putted her on my back and swam to shore. She fainted along the way.
I placed her down and gave her a CPR.
She coughed spitting out water.
Dave, you're a hero.
That's brave of you son. You made me proud. For the first time I smiled to his words.
Karen, Leslie held her hands. Are you okay. Dave saved you from drowning.
I stared at her trying to recollect. I nodded.
Let's go home. We got home and mum made me hot cocoa. He saves me when I'm in danger but ignores me like a beggar. I went to my room to have a warm bath. I wore my robe and went to Dave's room.
Knock.Knock.
Come in. I entered and he turned his back away from his computer to face me.
I just wanna say thank you for saving me.
It's nothing.
I moved closer to him. Why did you save me.
I looked at her in awe. Should I watch you die.
Hmmm,good answer. Since you can't watch me die why do you ignore me everytime.
Must you bring up this topic everytime.
Answer my question. Am I too ugly or am I not pretty. I'm prettier than Jade and Rose you know. You talk to them everytime and ignore me. Did I do anything wrong.
I watched her list everything. My eyes went to lips. I couldn't stand all the questions so I kissed her.
I opened my eyes widely. Did he just kiss me. Our lips interlocked sucking every part of it.
I pushed him away. Don't kiss me. Answer my question. What am I to you.
I stared at her. You're my step sister. Nothing more than that.
Your step sister and you kissed me just now. I should have known you're a flirt and a play boy. I walked out angrily slamming his door hard.
