My aunt came in with a bags full of groceries. And looked at me , awkwardly holding a baseball bat in my hand .
" what are you doing with that" she asked pointing to the bat
" um nothing , thought about playing baseball "
"But you hate baseball " she looked at me with a blank face
" I--saw few matches so I thought to try it out " there was a awkward pause and nodded and started going towards the kitchen , i followed her she said
" who are you gonna play with , you don't have friends "
" I didn't thought about that " I said , i didn't thought about even having a baseball .I sighed through relief .
Nothing happened to her .
" where did you go "
" oh I was going to get some groceries and some flowers , were you worried ?"
" nope , just asking , flowers "
" yeah , her favorite flowers , thyme " and smiled , my mothers fave flower and a herb was rosemary . sighing I looked at them laying on the counter .
" help me with washing the vegetables "
She said
" hmm "
" also can you do the laundry for me , I forgot "
" ok "
" thanks , you're the best " she said patting my shoulder and she started to take out the groceries to the counter .
" how did you're date went " I looked at her turning my head and said
" fine , honestly was I the only one who thought it was a casual meeting "
She stopped And laughed
" you thought that was just hanging out , no wonder you had no girlfriend till now " I looked down at the wash basin but silently she can near me , making me flinch .
" Or maybe......are you into men"
" what! No , you got the wrong idea "
" its fine , its just harmones And we can't control them , you can tell me , I will understand "
" no ! No , I am Not , its Not a bad thing to be gay but I am Not "
" all right , no need to be feisty " she Said giving a *I don't believe you* look.
After washing the vegetables aunt .
" lets have pasta , Or you want something else " she Said bringing some lettuce , tomatoes And other kinds of vegetables
" nope , fine with me "I Said
" oh and I invited sarah for launch "
" really" i need to be cHill about it , calm, she is just sarah , coming to my home for first time.
When we were just laying the food on the table the bell rang .
"i'll go get it "i said, hoping its sarah and it was.
she was wearing a casual skinny jeans and crop top .
"hey sarah , how have you been, come in " she. Nodded and took her sneakers near the door mat .
I lead her to the kitchen. Where aunt ruby was already peaking leaning on the kitchen counter ,at us and shifted to Her usual position and looked at us weird .
" lunch is ready , hope you like it "
we sat down .
" oh i will get some glasses for water " they nodded.
" oh thanks , i forgot , i only bought the jug " she said chuckling at her mistake.
the dinning Table was Just few steps front of the kitchen , there was a pendent neckless in the shape of a of a square whose one side was missing or was not there and on one end was circle coloured of pure black and a crack like design with a flower design made out of metal on the other end ,laying on the ground which i have never seen before , it was so pretty and black colour seemed like no light could enter it . perhaps its sarahs , I grabbed it and kept it in my poCket and went to Get some glasses.
" sarah is it yours " i asked her , she looked up from her food and saw the pendant In my hand , her eyes went a little wide .
"how did you find it , i was looking for it in my purse for so long" i nodded and passed it to her .
" its pretty " i said
" thanks" she said and was about to drink water when
" really can i see it " my aunt said .
sarah kept her glass on the table but took the pendant out , and was about to pass it when she accidentally pushed the glass half filled with water down .
' splash '
" sorry , it accidentally happened , i will help you with this " she bend down and started collecting the pieces
" oh sarah , dont do this " my aunt said and i nodded but sarah was already bleeding, i looked at it and something was off with me , its smell and colours were perfect , soothing smell with a hint of sweetness And hint of bitterness , red glossy colour .
" oh i will get the bandage " my aunt ran and i took her to the drawing room and aunt ran in getting the bandage . I saw her finger where she was pricked and blood was coming out quickly and my aunt came run towards us with some bandages and first aid kit.
After sarah had apologized 101th time she left .
aunt was getting a mop and broom.
I looked the blood which was still there on the floor , it was still the colour of glossy red , its smell was sweet and hint of bitter , it was as if telling me to bend down and-. It was perfect for-
" why are you here. You'll get hurt , go sit on the couch , I will clean it up " my aunt said from behind . I nodded and i smelled something 2 , maybe its aunts new perfume .
" you changed you're Perfume. "
i said
" no , i am not wearing it right now "
she said mopping the floor
" oh but i smell something new"
" maybe a ghost was near you " she said , i chuckled
" ghost. As if " and turned and the smell didn't leave for a long time.
In bed i was thinking of sarah , and my feelings .
I did like her when i first meant her but i don't really know now , she is great just i never had the heart racing feeling neither did i ever blush nor felt flustered , ever .
that are the ways to tell you , right?
I don't want to date her only to find i never had feelings for her.
When i woke up , sarah asked me on yet another date . Maybe i should just tell her about my feelings . Yes thats the right thing to do.
I was waiting for her , and saw her looking at the pendant she dropped yesterday
"hey " i said from a distance she looked up confused and then saw me waving at her .
we were again at the café We went to.
" you look pretty " i couldn't find anything else to say .
" really , thanks , lets get in " i nodded
After our "date" i don't say it , even when i wanted to , its like i forgot how to talk . we were at a street and she said.
" thanks for walking me home " i nodded and said
" glad , i could " and i prepared my self to say about my feelings in 3,2,-
" ouch " she said
i looked at her hand with a scar and blood dripping out of it
" how did this happened "
" i thing its just a big paper cut "
" paper cuts dont bleed this much " i said
the smell , again hit me .
Here i was with bloody mouth........
