So without any further adieu Chapter 4 officially begins!

HOLY MOTHER AND SON!
WHAT ON EARTH IS HE UP TO NOW???!!
It a good thing that he shopped so many clothes for me, at least now I have the control on what I wanted to wear. Stefan's makeover was great but it was not me. Now that I'm willing to play his Game, I better be myself from start to end.
Eri my love, I do hope that when you learn about this you will understand. I'm doing this for you and mother and not for that stalker!
Here's my natural hair, I miss putting it in a pony tail but I have to please him. The curly hairstyle won't work for me, its too much I guess. "Good Morning Mrs. Stone! Is Keira around?"
"Yes, she is still upstairs, oh you must be the boy from the photo I saw, Eri right?
"Oh, is it that obvious Mrs. Stone?"
"Yes! So you'e keeping it a secret from Keira, but why is that?"
"I want to know if she can accept the real me"
"Knowing my daughter, she won't notice that you are the Eri that she is waiting for"
"Please don't tell her its me, I've been looking after her from afar and this is the closest that I can get"
"Your secret is safe with me, just don't hurt her that much"
"I won't hurt her one bit"
"Give me a sec and I'll call her, what shall I call you now?"
"Ric, but my real name is Eric."
"Very well Eric" "KEIRA DEAR YOU HAVE A VISITOR, I'M GOING TO WORK IN AWHILE, PLEASE COME DOWN THIS INSTANT" I can hear mom's voice loud and clear
"Coming Mother" I replied but there was no answer I guess she left already
That Ric, he came all the way here just to annoy me again, the worst part there is that I think Mother allowed it. His acting skills is such a deceiving tool, I should've gave Mom a head ups about this perverted stalker! "Look who took her time" he said
"My house, my rules. Live with it" I snarled
"Easy tiger! But you forgot one thing, my game and my rules. So shut up or I'll kiss you" he smirked
"I hate you!" I whispered
"Oh yes you do!" he laughed
Why is he enjoying this so much? I can't stand him! But I must focus on my goal, I better let go of this sour attitude of mine. For Eri and Mother!
"So what brings you here my love?" I asked with a bit of sarcasm, calling him my love gives me goosebumps!
"Your acting is improving, okay then-3, 2, 1 ACTION! Well darling, I came here to visit you, I just can't get enough of you" he sounded like it was natural and real! WHY?!
"Well I'm glad you feel that way cause I too wanted to see you" I replied enthusiastically yet off, I hate this so much!!! "Btw, what do you think of my look now?" Why do I even care about his opinion on my look? Why is this happening to me?
"Looks better on you, at least your fats wouldn't be seen!" he laughed and thought he said that "I look stunning" what a liar! So I didn't answer back and just looked at him with pure annoyance.
It was a brief moment of silence..
"I'm sorry" he said
".." I didn't see that coming
"But seriously your last outfit makes you fatter" he added
"Is this what you came here for?" "Fine fine, I'll stop! I came here to check up on you and to help you with your job, you mentioned that you would like to work at the Bookstore once more and luckily the owner of that bookstore is a very close friend of mine"
"What should I do?" I asked exasperated
"Let's go to the bookstore"
"Okay, Let's take my car"
"Nuh-uhh, we're taking a cab, Its supposed to be my ride, but my car is broken for the meantime, I can't let a lady drive for me"
"I don't really care, Let's just go!"
We argued all afternoon. So yeah, we arrive at the bookstore quite late because of our non-sense argument on whether we will bring my car or take the cab instead.
I saw him approaching this one-eyed man, he's other eye is covered with his hair, I have no idea why. Looking at this guy sure is nostalgic, I'm not sure if I met him before or I don't know, he just looks so familiar.
I can hear Ric babble but I'm not listening to every word he is saying..
"So Keira, this is Mr. Griffith, Leo Griffith" he gestured his hand towards Mr. Griffith
"Hello there Mr Griffith!"
"Hello Mr. Griffith, My name is Keira Stone, nice to meet you!" I smiled
"Keira you say? Hmm.. your accepted."
"What? What do you mean?" I asked
"You're applying for a job at my bookstore right? So yeah, you're hired"
"I don't know what to say Mr. Griffith"
"You don't have to say anything! You know Ric here is a very dear friend to me, if helping you can help him then I'll be glad to help you." he smiled
"Oh Leo! You don't have to say that!" Ric interrupted
"Well its only the truth" Ric and Mr. Griffith laughed like it was some joke
"How about we head to Bistro and grab some din din?" Mr. Griffith touched his tummy
"That's a great idea, c'mon Kei" Ric dragged me with a smile on his face. The Bistro wasn't that far from the Bookstore so we managed to arrive there by just walking.
Its kinda cute that Ric called me Kei, no one has ever gave me a nickname but what the heck! So this is how often Ric eats at the Bistro but at least now I know that he has a friend, an adult friend that is. Mr. Griffith is such a mystery to me, he looks at me like he knows something about me. Probably Ric told stories about me? I don't really know.
"So Keira tell me about your family" Mr. Griffith ask without any second thoughts
"Well uh, I live with my Mom and I don't have any siblings" I munched on my shawarma.
"Where's your Daddy?"
"Mom told me that he died after I was born, why do you ask Mr. Griffith?" I can see Ric listening attentively.
"I'm just curious about your foundation, Ric here is actually living by himself"
"Where's your family Ric?" Ric didn't looked at me but I can see that he smirked on my question
"I threw them out" Mr. Griffith threw that sly smile too, I just don't get them, its like they are talking telepathically.
And then I saw Mom approaching, oh yeah her shift is done.
"Hey Mom!" I shouted
"Oh hi sweetie, and hello Ric! My my Keira you went all the here at the Bistro to eat what exactly I cook at home, you shouldn't waste money, especially if its not yours"
"Sorry Mom, I just.."
"I asked her if she could join me for dinner, I am at fault here you don't have to scold your daughter for it." Mr. Griffith cut mom off, but knowing mom she would let her manners down
"Oh if that the case--"
"Next time we'll be eating at your place" Mr. Griffith said with authority and confidence.
"It will be an honor Mister?" My mom said
"I'll just go to the men's room Kei" Ric interrupted Mr. Griffith
"Okay" I replied
"Wait for me" Ric ordered
"You were saying Ms. Stone? Mr. Griffith continued
"What is your name?" My mom asked sharply
"The name is Leo Griffith and you?"
"Carina, Carina Stone"
This is the first time that I saw Mom like this, she looks defenseless and at the same time she looks like that she can attack this guy anytime soon.
"Carina, what a lovely name" Mr. Griffith said
"Leo, I'm heading home please take care of my daughter" my mom sounded so pissed but still with manners
"Don't you worry, I'll treat her like my daughter" the way that Mr. Griffith said that put a frown on my mom's face. Why do I feel like I'm the only one who is missing out? "Sweetie can we talk for a moment-- away from here" We walked a few meters away from our table
"How did you meet this Leo?" My asked flatly
"Ric introduced him to me"
"And why is that?"
"Well you see, Mr. Griffith owns the Bookstore where I'll soon be working, he is my boss Mom"
"Your boss and he owns the bookstore you say?" mom looked like she wouldn't believe me
"Yup, do you know him from before mom?"
"No." she said emotionlessly
"Why does he look familiar to me then?" i looked at mom with utter curiosity, hoping that she'd tell me something more.
"Don't ask a stupid question if you don't want a stupid answer Keira. You probably seen him in a poster or something"
"Whatever you say Mom"
"I can see your boyfriend coming this way, I'll let you go now"
"HE IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND!" I said annoyingly
"Whatever you say Keira" Mom laughed
"MOM! How could you! You're siding with Ric now?!" Mom just laughed at me, well at least the irritation from her mood was gone.
My left living me and Ric alone, and for some reason Mr. Griffith was no where to be seen. "Where are you taking me this time?" I asked
"Just be quiet" he said flatly
"I can't be quiet if I don't know where I'm going!
"Just shut up will you?! Don't ask anymore questions!" he shouted with authority
"Control freak"! I added
"SILLY,IGNORANT AND FAT!" he teased
"I am so not fat!"
"Then don't wear clothes that shows too much skin!" he looked away and continued "Let's just go" he said calmly
Why is he mad that much? Its his stylist's work!
"If your thinking that its Stefan's work you could have told him that it was not you or you don't like it!" he bursted and just took my wrist and threw me in the cab.
How does he do that? He changes mood in a snap, plus why does he care so much? Whatever it is, I hate him!
I don't know where were going but hey.. I know this place!
Why are we here at Fairy Folk Park? Of all the parks here in Hidden Springs, why here? I don't want my memory of this place be replaced by something bad.
I hate the way this guy thinks... I have no choice but to go with him..
But when he offered me that he will push me in the swing, my body automatically agreed. It was a magical nostalgic night.. We just laughed, really weird huh? Cause I never thought that I'll be enjoying his company.. How I wish this was Eri, just like old times. But when I come to think about it, putting his stalkerish character aside, he is a good person within. Something is just blocking it, now I'm more curious about him. I'm so sorry Eri... Hanging out by the swing reminds me of Prom, where he told me that he wants me to hate him.
"Are you thinking about Prom night? I'm sorry about that" he said
"I just don't understand you"
"You don't have to"
His answers are like riddles, I couldn't decipher it! Just like Mr. Griffith he is such a mystery.
"I'm sorry for getting mad at you earlier"
"I just don't get it"
"Like I said you don't need to, just listen and follow me"
"Control freak" I whispered he just smiled He stood up randomly and asked me if we could watch the stars together, I didn't have a choice don't I? At first it was awkward that we were together that close, but it didn't took a long time for me to be comfortable. Weird huh? Words can't explain the whole moment of being under the stars with him... There's a part of me that does not want this moment to end.. But all good things SHOULD end, especially if its with this guy. My heart started beating fast, I know it was a wrong feeling and I have to stop it. I have to stop myself from..
"I'll be going now" I stood up
"Wait one sec" he also stood up "Face me" he ordered. The next thing I knew I was at his arms, it was so shocking that I was not able to move. My heart is beating so much faster now. What's his problem anyway? Why hug me? Why am I feeling this way? and just plain why??? For some weird reason, his hug is nostalgic AND for the first time for the last couple of years, I felt safe again. His warmth reminds of how Eri hugged me back then.. But really why did my body automatically hugged Ric back?
TO BE CONTINUED, TUNE IN FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER...
