《Innocently Falling》Bonus Chapter 5
Advertisement
I am roaming around Columbia because my class was cancelled and I don't want to go home. I am now 2nd year pre-law student. So far my subjects are really easy.
Just like my big brothers I finish highschool one year early. Good thing my siblings and I inherited our parents intelligence. Don't get me wrong I study properly like any other students out there. I am just blessed that I can understand concepts really well.
As I am mindlessly walking around a boy captures my attention. He was sitting alone on the grass and was reading a book. He was surrounded by group of students fooling around and he is just there leaning on a tree, Isolated from other people. I don't know what but my feet unconsciously walks to his direction.
His breath hitch when when he saw me standing in front of him.
I remove my sunglasses and glance at the cover of the book that he was reading. I am wrong he was reading Archie Comics.
"Can I sit beside you?" I ask.
He is still staring wide eyed at me. His mouth was gaping.
I interpret that as confirmation so I thank him quietly.
I sat beside him and lean my head on the trunk of the tree behind us.
"So what is your name?"
I stare at his mesmerizing green eyes covered with crooked black eye glasses. His short blonde hair is messily styled like he just woke up. He is lean but I know he is taller than my 5'7 height.
"Cl-Cloud Su-sumers Vanderbilt." He murmured but I still heard it.
"Cloud? Did I heard you right?" What a unique name.
He nodded slightly. Pinkish hue dominates his cheeks.
Aww so cute!
"Hi Cloud I am Ameera. Nice to meet you!"
I offer my hand and he shyly shakes my hand. Surprisingly his handshake is firm and not sloppy.
"I know." He said.
"Know what?" I ask.
"I mean everyone knows you." He clarified then he proceeds to roam his eyes around us.

I scan the crowd and some of the students are discretely looking at us. When they saw that I am glaring at them they go back to what they are previously doing.
Nosy cowards.
I look back at Cloud and said
"Well everyone knows me I guess but they don't really know me. Does that make sense to you?"
His stare makes my heart skips. Damn those eyes.
He nodded.
I smiled at him and said "Well Cloud this might be too forward but can you be my friend?"
He is clearly stunned by my request which is understandable since I really doesn't mingle with other people unless it is necessary.
Cloud said something but I did not hear it properly.
"I am sorry what did you say?"
"I said sure friends." I grin.
He is my friend now. I cheered mentally.
For now.
After a while we stand up and I am correct he is way taller than me maybe 6'2 or 6'1. My dad and brothers are still taller than him except Parky who's 6 foot. We walk towards the Parking lot since we don't have any classes already and it is the weekend tomorrow.
"Wait what is your course?" I ask.
"Pre-med. I want to be a Cardiologist."
Wow. Smart too.
We reach the Parking lot and immediately the MIB's are beside me. Cloud was spooked when they soundlessly appear at my side.
I hand one of them my small bag and continue to walk with Cloud.
We stop in front of many parked bikes. Wait he is using bike for transportation?
I saw him dislodging an old Rickety bike from a chain. My God if I am a thief I'll not even take a second glance at his bike. Seriously it is that old.
As he successfully removed the unnecessary chain from his bike I offered to give him and his World War 1 veteran bike a lift.
"No it is okay." He replied. That will not do.
"No I insist. What kind of a friend am I if I don't offer you a lift? And your place is in our way." In my peripheral vision both of the MIB discretely shakes their head in unison.

Oh it is out of our way.
Cloud look at me and switch his glance at the 2 MIB standing behind me. He sigh and nodded.
"Yehey! Come on!"
I grab his hand which made him froze. I ignore it since he'll get used to it later on. One of the MIB get his old Bike. We walk towards my White Range Rover. He unexpectedly opened the door for me.
1 major points for Cloud!
I thank him and and go inside. He sat beside me and he shyly told the driver where we will drop him off.
His place is 25 minutes away from the school by car. So it means it took him almost an hour just to reach the school using his old bike.
His apartment is near the soup kitchen and night shelter that my family build. Before he go I ask for his number but he doesn't have a phone.
This is not acceptable. I need to do something.
Since I learned that we have the same morning classes I decided to pick him up also tomorrow.
"I'll be here at 7am so be ready Cloud. Bye!"
He tried to protest but I already close the door.
I went home with a ghost of smile on my face.
My boring day turned out to be much more interesting than I thought.
I arrive at the house and the grandson of Grandpa Alfred is the one welcoming me. Albert is his name but mommy calls him Alfred.
Mom is really bad at long names.
"Welcome back Miss Ameera."
"Thank you Albert. Is Daddy home?" I ask.
"Yes he's with your mom at the pool area."
I thank him and skip towards the pool area.
Even after 28 years of marriage not including the 5 years they are in a relationship my Parents are still so in love with each other.
They still look young and strong for their age. Daddy has a few unnoticable white hair which he said appeared because of Gabriel my third older brother.
Mom was sitting beside daddy and her feet is on top of his lap.
I can hear daddy convincing mommy that jumping from the spring board is dangerous for her.
"I am home!"
Both of my parents looks at my direction and smiled at me.
"Hi Princess!" I kiss both of their cheeks and hug them.
"Did you have a good day baby?" Mommy ask.
I grin at her and said."I can say it is an interesting day mommy."
I catch daddy staring at me but I grin at him.
"Get ready for dinner princess."
Dad said. I nodded and went up to my room.
I change out of my dress and wear my silk shorts and top.
I went down at exactly 7pm skipping down the stairs. I am the only one using these stairs the rest of my family can not be bothered.
I kiss and hug my brothers starting from Grey up to Jamison.
They are all professionals now. Grey is in charge of our corporation, Parker is a doctor, Gabriel is an IT and Chemist. Yes he did not move on from his fascination from bombs and explosive devices. Jamison is an engineer but working for our Company.
My parents arrive and sat down to their seats. Grey said some grace and we starts to eat.
"Daddy." Dad looks up while serving mom another piece of steak.
"I met someone and I intend him to be my boyfriend at the end of the year." Which is exactly 6 months from now.
All the cutleries simultaneously fall to their plates from my dad and brothers hands.
All of them except my mommy who is still trying to cut her steak are scowling and have a serious expression on their faces.
Did I say something wrong?
