All I Wanted
Chapter 18

I blinked my eyes open as the rays of the sun hit my eyes. F**k it was a dream and yet felt so real, why did I dream of him it has actually been long I've thought of him, maybe it's just a normal dream without any other thing attached to it, the thought of how is he came through my mind but I shoved it away because I don't think he has ever thought of me in the last eight years because if he actually thought of me he would have found a way to call me. Maybe he hates me, I mean I'm one of the reason he lost his only friend so that should be it.

"It's morning already" I say as I rubbed my forehead trying to relief myself of the sudden ache in my head. I stood up to go to the bathroom and stared at myself in the mirror as I realized that I've really grown in the past few years. I took out my brush and brushed my teeth hoping that my father has made breakfast already.

I got to the living room but then I saw my dad still sleeping on the couch, I supposed he was tired and stressed from yesterday's work so I assumed it's left to me to cook but then I was also tired so I ended up ordering some pizzas and French fries. "Good morning Janey" my dad says as he saw me standing with my phone.

"Good morning Dad" I say to him

"What are you up to"

"I was just ordering some food for us"

"Ordering?? Why would you order food"

"Because I'm too tired to cook" I mumble and my dad laughed.

"Okay so what did you order" he asks

"Pizzas" I say

"Fair enough" he responds.

It didn't take up to 30 minutes before the delivery boy knocked on my door and I hungrily opened the door.

"Thank you " I say and handed over his money with a little tip on top.

As soon as I closed the door my mouth was salivating and my tummy was grumbling.

"I can hear that" my dad says and chuckled.

I handed over a box of pizzas and done french fries to him and took one for myself. In no time knees through with the food and I took my bath. My phone started to ring and I saw Justin's name boldly appearing on my screen. "Hey Justin" I say

"Hi, good morning so my car has some issues and I was just thinking if you have a room for me in yours." He says.

"Sure, I do you can come right away" I say

"Great I'll be right there" be says as he hung up.

By the time I was done dressing up my Dad was also ready so I had to ask him to leave on time since he'll be taking his car and Justin and I would join him shortly.

He left my apartment with a box of cupcakes he made while I was ordering the pizzas and in some few minutes Justin was at my apartment too.

"I've been waiting" I pout as Justin walked in.

"I'm sorry babe" be says and kissed me on my lips. It was a short kiss but I was not really comfortable with the kiss so I adjusted my body and he noticed my reaction. "I'm sorry" he says.

"Uhm my dad made cupcakes they are in the kitchen in case you want one or we might just take everything Long with us on our trip" I say

"Sure we'll do the latter he says.

"Let's be on our way?" I ask

"Sure of course" he says.

We got into my car and I dropped the box of cupcakes in the back seat and hurriedly entered the back seat and locked the back seat door. "Hey no fair" he says as he grumbled like a little kid and sat on the driver's seat.

"You're the man here so you're driving" I say to him and he raised his hands in the air as a sign of him surrendering..

We spent most of our trip chatting and talking about some funny things. "I can't believe you've graduated already everything seems so fast" he says. "Neither can I" I say and then the whole car was filled with silence again.

"Jane?" He says

"Yeah?"

"I really do love you and would wish to be with you" he says and I stared at my feet awkwardly not knowing what else to do or say so I just kept quiet and the rest of the trip was filled with silence until we finally got to my Dad's house but it was late already. "Here we are" I say and realized that there was not any light coming from the house and I couldn't see my Dad's car anywhere. With different thoughts running through my head already I came down from the car and walked towards our front porch. I turned the door knob and the door didn't open, the door just be locked so I knocked on the door but still got no response.

"Dad" I say but still didn't get any response. Justin was standing there clueless. I went to the back door but it was also locked. I should probably call him so I brought out my phone and dialed his number. "The number you're dialing is switched off".
