chapter 2.2: one-sided pt.2/2
3:00 p.m.
Lani pov:
They finally left. Fucking leeches. Watching intently Sajan yawns. Causing me to yawn as quietly as possible. Hmm.. I guess I have enough empathy. I continue following him in the crowded park. Tuning out the rest of the noise. I hear only him and myself as we take an afternoon stroll through the park.
Coming out of my daze, my mind wanders to Caige and something else i may be forgetting...

FUCK, THE GROCERIES!
Flashback

9:30 a.m.
Objective pov:
"have you seen my keys?" Lani searches around and under the couch. On the console table lay her keys.
"Stop losing them." Her mom plainly states while staring emotionless at said console table.
Lani looks at her mom, annoyance bubbling to the surface. She follows her lign of sight and laughs dryly. She walks towards her keys and hangs the lanyard around her neck.
"Why?"
"Why aren't you apart of mensa?"
Mrs. Kemb retorts. (The b is silent)
.
.
.
.
The identical pair break into laughter. Lani loved her mom's sense of humor. That's where she got her wit from.
"Ask your husband, he never studied well. I wonder why?" Lani pretends to ponder tapping her finger to her cheek.
Humming she looks towards her mom for another joke.
"I studied well enough for the both of us." Mrs. Kemb studied the contents of the fridge while joking with her smart but dumb daughter.
"That's not how it works mom!" They laugh again. Lani slips on her white sneakers lacing them up. Her mom peeks around the corner. "I'm gonna send the grocery list and cash app you." Do NOT FORGET like last time and have us living like struggling college students."
Lani's face contorts in embarrassment and annoyance much to Mrs. Kemb's oblivion. "I Won't." Turning back to the kitchen Mrs. Kemb readies a cutting board and some vegetables.
Standing up she makes sure she has her phone. "I'm leaving!" She yells, Opening the door. "Love you, bye!" Her mom yells back. She closes the door. leaning her back on it.
Lani sighs slightly annoyed at her mom. She pushes herself off the door. And makes her way to the shopping district. She and Caige had decided to meet up at cheryl's Sweets. A candy and deserts place. Where they usually go on Saturday mornings.
End of flashback

3:05 p.m
"Oh fuck my life." A kid seeming about four stood behind her. Lani turns around in shock. Praying that this kid didn't hear.
"You cursed.." the kid says just above a whisper. Lani whimpers embarrassed that she just taught a bad word to someone's kid. "The spunky four year old gives a wide smile, teeth and all. "I won't tell! Curse at home, okay?"
Lani goes from embarrassed to bewildered as she stays silent. "I'm Renmo!" The blonde haired kid waves frantically to keep her attention. "My sister curses too. Oh! Big sister!" The strange little boys sees a familiar figure in the distance. He runs past her as she continues to stand there stunned.
Thinking out loud, "di-did I just get lectured by a toddler?..." shaking her head to clear her thoughts she runs back to the shopping district.

5:00 p.m.
"Dude really!?" Caige cackles on the other end. "Yeah! And something about his sister..? It was weird. What'd you end up doing?" "The wrong w."
???
"Wha?" Lani walks along the spacious road awaiting an explanation. On her left arm are many plastic bags with food. Ranging from bread crumbs to various flavors of yogurt.
"You used the wrong w. It's not what but WHO I ended up do-"
"GROSS! you peice of shit!" She giggles through the loving insult as Caige continues. "You're just jealous, but jokes aside I found a new manga series you'll like."
"Hm?"
"Its called mountainside horny!"
Click ..beep.
Lani sighs not surprised as she silences her phone. She's a few minutes past curfew but she got the groceries. So it should be all good.

Caige pov:
Beep...
"Hey!"
"Hm? Whats wrong?"
"Nothing babe." He waltzes into the bedroom and holds me tightly. wrapping my arms around his neck as I listen intently.
Nuzzling his head in the crook of my neck he speaks. "You know that manga series you found today?" Bubbling with excitement I look into his almost glowing golden eyes. "Yeah...?" Anticipation evident in my voice.
He tilts towards my ear speaking softly. An octive just above a whisper.
"I have the anime downloaded."
GASP
Letting go his embrace I stumble out of surprise.
"NO FUCKING WAY!"
TO BE CONTINUED...
A/N:
who's that strange kid? Whose that strange kids' sister? Who DID Caige end up doing? And what the hell is mountainside horny!?
