I'm so exhausted I been working all week with out a day off. "The real world sucks" I throw my self on to the sofa. "Tell me about it" Sophia lands right next to me. Her phone rings and she answers. "Hello" it's Gabe she mouth to me. "Oh no really?" she sounds concern. "What happen?" I quickly ask. I hope he isn't hurt. "How long is it going to take?" she ask. I tap her leg and ask her again with my hand what's going on. She puts up her finger indicating for me to hold on "You can stay here until it's fix". I start to shake my leg waiting for her to inform me. "Yeah I don't think she'll mind" she turns to me and I shake me head. I don't know what she is talking about but I don't mind. "Just come over" she hangs up. "What happen? Is he okay?" I quickly ask. "Yeah he is fine a water pipe broke in his apartment and he has no where to go. I hope you don't mind if he stays here for a couple of days?" she ask. I shake my head "Of course not don't be silly he can stay as long as he has to it's fine with me," I get up "I'm going to shower want to order something to eat?".
"Chinese?" she picks up her phone. "You know me so well" I walk away. Having Gabe stay with us is only going to confuse my feelings even more. I don't know if I hate him or if I don't hate him. Okay I'm lying I know that I don't hate him. Neither of us have brought up what happen that night or I should say what didn't happen. Some part of me is still sad that he didn't kiss me but the other side feels relief. I can't let myself fall for Gabe or anyone else because I don't know how long I am going to be here. I know that once my father finds out where I am he will come looking for me and I refuse to put Gabe or Sophia in danger. I'm surprise he hasn't found me yet. I hop out the shower and change into a white tank top and my pajamas. "I order already Gabe is going to pick it up on his way" Sophia informs me. "Kay" I snuggle on to the sofa and look for a movie. 20 minutes later there is a knock on the door. "I got it" I jump off the sofa like I was on fire. "Delivery" Gabe is standing there leaning against the door frame with one arm above his head and a bag of food in the other one. Where the hell is Ashley when I need her to trip me so I can fall right into his lips. I smile and grab the bag. "No tip?" he frowns. "Yeah next time don't be late" I turn around. "Well at least I got you to smile that's enough payment for me" he walks in with his backpack. "Soso I'm here" he calls out and Sophia walks out her room. "Hey Gabbie" she hugs him. "Soso? Gabbie?" I look at them and laugh. They both look at me "Shut up that's our nicknames for each other" Sophia sticks out her tongue. "Okay Soso let's eat," I turn to Gabe "You can leave your bag in my room if you like Gabbie" I couldn't help myself. He chuckles "What have we done?" he shakes his head as he walks to my room. Sophia takes out 3 plates and I set the table up for us to eat. "So the fair is in town this weekend" Gabe says as he pour out some soda. "Really?" my face lights up. I have never been to a fair before but I don't say that out loud. "We should go we all have off this weekend" Sophia says. "Oh my god we should go it will be so fun" I jump with excitement. Gabe and Sophia are staring at me like I am crazy but I don't care I'm to excited. "I'm going to take a wild guess here," Sophia takes a sip from Gabe's soda "I'm guessing you never been to a fair before". There is no point in me lying to them. "Nope never" I feel embarrass in admitting that. "Are you like Amish or something?" she ask. "Or something" I take a sip of my soda trying to avoid this conversation. "So how about Saturday?" thank you Gabe for jumping in. "I can't wait" I feel like a 9 year old. After dinner we all go to the living room and watch some TV Sophia sits in between Gabe and me. "I'm off to bed" Sophia kisses Gabe on his cheek and gives me a hug. "Night Soso" she flicks me her middle finger. Gabe laughs "You aren't going to let me see the end of this one are you?".
