I walked in the supermarket with Tommy by my side and looked at the shopping list. I sighed and walked in the different aisles looking for the demanded products and ingredients that aunt Lucy told me to buy. Tommy tugged on my arm and pulled my in another aisle, the one which displays cakes and chocolate. I smiled at my small cousin and kneed in front of him so that we were now of the same height.
"Listen Tommy boy" I said in a sweet voice. "Let's take what your mommy told us to buy first then we'll buy you some chocolate" I said and watched as his eyes lighten. "Okay?" I asked and he nodded enthusiastically. I took his hand back in mine and looked at the list again.
Well, I guess you need a better introduction of me, right? Well, I'm Kimberly Ella Perry. I'm seventeen and I moved here one week ago. I was now leaving with my aunt Lucy and her husband Max and with my two cousins, Grace, who was of the same age as me and Tommy who was six years old. My parents are busy traveling over the world for their work so in order not to be left alone, they sent me here, with my aunt Lucy. I adored her. I was thrilled by the idea of living with her. I know that you'll say that I'm crazy or insane but I loved her more than my own mother. My parents never worried about me and sometimes, I felt like a burden for them. In a month, I would see them only one time.
One day, my aunt Lucy called home and she had the brilliant idea of telling my mom to send me over hers. I couldn't help but yell in happiness. I hated living in a big house all alone, on my own with two maids. Guess what? I was more comfortable with the maids than my own parents. They knew me better than anyone else and I considered them more like family. They were heart broken that I was moving here but they knew that it was for the best. My cousin Grace is wonderful. She's more like my sister. She's the typical cheerleader type and would do anything for me. When she heard that I was moving at hers, she practically made me go deaf as she screamed in happiness right in my ears.
My parents on the other side, had no specific emotion. It made them no difference whether I was home or not. They simply agreed and asked me to pack. They gave a
me a credit card in case I wanted to buy my own things hence not depending on my aunt. But I knew that If I wanted something, my aunt would buy it for me. My parents bought me a car so that it would be easy for me to move but somehow I knew that it was a way of bribing my love for them. I rolled my eyes at the thought.
Today was Saturday and I was doing some shopping for aunt Lucy. I volunteered to take Tommy with me as I knew that Grace wouldn't have to patience to look after him and also because he was so damn cute. He would listen only to me and his father. If Aunt Lucy and Grace ask him to do something, he would simply stick out his tongue and run away.
I'll be going to school on Monday. First day in this new school. I hated to be the new kid. I hated when I would be the center of attraction in this new school. But I was lucky enough to have my cheerleader of cousin going there.
I looked at the last thing on my list and smiled as I got everything covered. I put the box of juice in my shopping basket. Tommy was jumping happily next to me and pulled me towards the chocolate aisle. I couldn't help but chuckle as this cute boy. "I want this one!" he said showing me a chocolate bar. I smiled and motioned him to put it in the basket.
"Take more Tommy" I said with a smile and his eyes lighten and he gave me a toothy smile. Of course I was going to spoil him to death. I always wanted to have a little brother. I pulled my credit card as Tommy chose more sweets and chocolate. I was looking for a chocolate pack for Grace. She loves dark chocolate. I started looking in the different shelves. Suddenly, I bumped in a small body. I turned to look and saw a little girl. I smiled at her and she gave me a hesitant smile. She was looking at the chocolates with envy.
"Hey doll, you're alone?" I asked her and gave her a smile to show her that I was being friendly.
"No, my brother's over there" she said pointing behind her.
"Then what are you doing here?" I asked as tommy ran and shoved a handful of chocolates in the basket.
"Emmy!" Tommy said happily and took the little girl's hand in his. I looked at them with a questioning expression.
"You know her?" I asked looking at Tommy and their linked hands.
"It's Gracie's boyfriend sister" Tommy explained while tapping his chin. I simply smiled and took Tommy's hand in mine and we walked to the cashier. Tommy was busy talking with Emmy and seriously I would burst out laughing if they were not kids. They are arguing on who's the best ninja turtle.
"Emmy" I called her and looked around. "Where's your brother?" I asked. She turned her face and looked around making her beautiful blond hair go all over her face. I put the items on the table and waited for the cashier to tell me the cost. I frowned when he winked at me. Gross, he was like thirty for God's sake.
"There he is!" I heard Emmy shout and pointed behind me before running to them. I paid the cashier who slipped a paper in my hand. I hesitantly open it to see a number written on it. I scowled and glared at him. I turned on my heels and tossed the paper in a ball. I turned to look at him before throwing the paper ball on his head. Tommy laughed and I high five him.
Suddenly I heard deep chuckles coming from behind me. Tommy let go of my hand and ran away. I turned around to see him in the arms of a blond guy. He smiled and I saw Emmy standing beside him. It must be Grace's boyfriend. He walked towards me with Tommy in his arms. "Hey, I'm Chase" he said and put Tommy back down so that he was standing next to me. Just as I was about to reply, a guy came beside him. I think I dropped my jaw. Wow. He was hot. His messy black hair and blue eyes and his well sculptured body who seemed drool worthy. When he saw me, his eyes widened. Thank god Tommy tugged on my hand otherwise I would spend the whole day admiring the Adonis standing in front of me.
"Kim" I replied with a smile.
"Kim, This is Aaron" Chase said as Aaron seemed to faze back to us and blinked several times.
"Hey" he simply said and smiled. I smiled back taking Tommy's hand and blowing a kiss to Emmy.
"Nice to meet you but we really need to go" I said looking at Chase only as I knew that if I looked at Aaron, I would be lost in his deep blue eyes. Chase nodded while Aaron stood there with his hands shoved in his pocket, staring at me. I smiled and turned to make my way out of the supermarket when Chase called my name.
"Kim!" he called and I turned to look at him but my eyes met those of Aaron first. He smiled and looked away quickly. "Tell Grace that I would pick her up at seven" Chase said and I nodded. I walked to my car. It was a silver Volvo and let me tell you that I love it. Tommy jumped in the backseat and started jumping in the backseat, shoving some sweets in his mouth. Oh my god, I completely forgot. Tommy become hyper whenever he eats sugar. Damn. It's going to be difficult to calm him. I, too, become hyper whenever I eat too much sugar. I guess it kinda run in our blood. I hide the rest of the chocolate in my bag so that he won't find it. I put on the CD player and the music started playing. Tommy was wiggling in his seat and I was nodding my head to the beat of the sound.
Soon I reached home and Tommy, as soon as I parked the car, got out of his seat and ran in the house. I took the shopping back and walked in the house behind Tommy. "Mommy!" I heard Tommy yell in the house. "I ate chocolate!" he shouted happily. I put the bags on the counter and walked in the living room to see Tommy jumping on the couch and Lucy watching his son in amusement.
"You gave him chocolate" Aunt Lucy stated and I nodded.
"Tommy better run or Monster Kimmy will eat him!" I roared and he squeal before running away laughing. I laughed and started running behind him. He ran up the stairs and burst in Grace's room.
"Chase told you to be ready by seven" I told her and grabbed Tommy's feet pulling him from under Grace's bed. He shouted and laughed as I started tickling. I couldn't help but laugh at his cheerful face. When I saw that he was soon out of breath, I stopped and watched him run away.
"You saw him?" she asked and jumped on the bed pulling me along with her.
"Yeah, he was with his sister and his hot friend" I told him emphasizing on the word hot.
"You mean Aaron?" she asked wiggling her eyebrows. I nodded and she smiled sadly. "He's Chase's cousin and is not single" she said and stood up and start looking for clothes.
