Chapter 10
I couldn't contain my smile for I don't know how long I've been at it. When Gideon texted me back last night saying that he'll treat me, I can't explain how excited I was. This is Hawaii guys! Take the chance that someone is voluntering for you to take you to see the best sites for free!
And I can't wait to spend time with one of my stepbrothers. When it was just me and Hillary, we do spend time with each other but it always ends up with me who gets to be an obedient dog on a leash or maybe even a slave who brings all of her shopping bags. I hate it!
From when I woke up, I smiled. While taking a bath, brushing my teeth, drying my hair, dressing myself, and even while eating, I can't help but smile. I was excited as fuck!
"If you're done packing your things. Get them down and into the car. We'll leave this noon."
'Wait? Did I just misheard it or some evil figure is whispering death to me?'
My smile immediately faltered off from my face. My narrowed eyes darted to my stepfather who was sipping his wine casually like he just didn't ruined my mood. My good vibes had jumped out the window with a suicidal intent. The fork I was holding stabbed on the steak on my plate with a loud noise.
"We're going home?" Everyone on the table looked at me.
"Oh I forgot to tell you." I looked at Faith with a delirious face. "When you were still out cold, Dad already told us about it." Faith continued.
I slumped down on my chair with an awkward laugh. And just like that, my used to be good mood had turned a complete 360 degrees. My face was dark and gloomy as I watch the other boys hauling our luggages on the back of the van. Faith came beside me with a chuckle. 'If I could just slap him, I would've done it.'
"Hah! This good vacation ended good." 'Good for you! you brat!' I cursed in my head. "Whatevers going on between you and Gideon, I think you made peace with him. And I think I should earn the thing that you promised me?" He motioned, raising his eyebrows up and down suggestively.
"I know. I'll give it to you when we get home." I stated with no expression and a dead tone. Faith, being the 'I'm happy as fuck!' kind of person didn't realize my distress and kept on giving off some bright aura on my side. I can even imagine some flowers sparkling around him!
His good aura is making my head hurt! I was so really expecting an adventure today and it all vanished like bubble that popped on the air. I wanted to explore Hawaii more! And I end up stuck up in the bed for the rest of the vacation! Oooohhh! I am so angry I wanted to erupt now and now!
"Sir? Thanks for checking in on our hotel. Here's a flower for you as a sign of our gratitude!" This guy who was chirping happily beside me made one of my vein popped on my head. In a quick movement, I flick my head to glare at him with all my might.
"Fuck your flowery shits! I'm so done for today!" I marched down the steps angrily. When I was about to enter the van, my sister slap me on the head making me glare at her.
"What?!" I huffed in anger.
"Go get that. Don't be rude." She scolded.
With a fisted hand, I marched back up the steps to the guy offering a flower. He looked at me and stretched out a flower then smiled. My left eyes twitched in anger.
"A flower sir for our gratitude." He smiled. I snatched it from his hands and quickly left the steps. When the car door was close, I looked at my sister, holding the flower in front of her then opening the window. The wind swept in as the car drove through the road.
"Aww, thanks bro." She said with a huge smile on her face. But before she could grab for it, I snap its stem into half, threw it outside the car's window then slumped down on my seat.
"Whay did you do that for?!"
"Shhhhh..." I silenced her with a glare luckily, she didn't protest and silence herself on her seat. She knows me better when I'm angry.
Something vibrated on my pockets so I went to fish it out on my jeans pockets to only see Gideon's message.
'I'm sorry. I will treat you when we get home. Promise.'
I just snorted at his text. I pulled my earphones out and just listened to The Chainsmokers new released. Nothing's better to calm the nerve with some great beats and a good sleep. The person who will disturb me must die!
The plane ride was... well normal, I guess. Faith and Michale sat on my side, while I look at the window outside. I took my phone out and captured some shots before posting it on Instagram. A couple of hearts went in and I scrolled on the feed then exited out of the app to go to sleep. My earphones blasting some good beats between my ears.
The ride home was, for me I was silent. While the other who were with me in the van, Hillary, Damian, Faith and Andy were singing some country songs that I don't know of. And the leader of this loud croaking singers were Justin and Jedidiah, a pop idol then the other a vocalist of one of the famous teen bands in our country.
"Turn up Castle on the Hill!" Faith yelled through the loud music blasting on the speakers of the van. Then they all sang.
Honestly, I love the song, the beat, Ed Sheeran and the lyrics. It makes me wanna miss my good old childhood days and the people that I met back home. Although I didn't live on the countryside to miss some fields and animals. I miss our old home where I used to play in the backyard with my older brother and some other neighborhood kids. I miss him too.
"I'm on my way
Driving at 90 down those country lanes
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"." Jedidiah sang loudly.
"And I miss the way
You make me feel,
And it's real
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill." Justin supplied making everyone sang after them.
I smiled, my anger dispersing. I know its just a minor thing to get angry about. I know I should just be upset but I just can't help feeling angry over it. Once my mind and soul is excited and I expect too much, then ends out like this, I can't help myself. My anger really surfaced most out of it.
The car stopped in front of the mansion and I quickly hopped out to let everyone exit the van since I was practically by the door. Gideon and the others car followed suit.
Andy opened the back of the van to get our luggages out. I pulled my single trolley out and proceeded into the house when a huge figure went by my side. I nodded to the butler who waited by the door and went in.
"So are you free on saturday William?" Gideon asked while pulling his trolley with him in the staircase. I looked at him, struggling with my own trolley.
"I need to catch up with my lessons. Plus, I have an exam to take." I stated and put down my trolley since we were on the second floor.
Although Gideon's room was on the other wing, he followed me in the direction to my room. When I arrived at my room, I unlocked it but before I could get inside, I looked at Gideon standing before me.
"What?"
"I'm sorry. I didn't knew it since after the incident I tried to distance with the family for awhile and even on vacation, I kept myself hauled in with work. I'm sorry William."
"Its fine Gideon. I was just mad that I get to expect over nothing. Its already Hawaii but it felt like I just went there to inhale the air and nothing more. Came home with nothing but a memory of me being on a hospital bed rather than swimming on the beach and partying. I just felt bad." I explained. I heared him sigh.
"It was my fault anyway." I glared at him.
"Its not."
"If I helped you there, you wouldn't be on the hospital-"
"Shut up! Have I told you many times that its not your fucking fault Gideon? It just happened and we were stuck on a place that even help is evadable. So get over it. And I'm not blaming you for it, blame it on the hotel and its electric power plant!"
Gideon gave a chuckle whilst I just snorted at him. "You never stop to fascinate me William James Hall."
"Whatever." I mummbled before opening the door and getting inside my safe haven.
But before I could get inside, I was pulled back by my arm, my body swinging back and then landed on the wall. Then Gideon's lips landed just right on my own making me gasps, my eyes wide as saucer.
