THE DIARY OF LIA MARK
(Dear Diary)
BY RUTHIE LEE
EPISODE 5
Logan sighed heavily and used my pillow to cover his face
“well since you two annoyingly geeks won’t turn the stereo
down can you plea-se low the sound.. plea-se!” he said throu-gh
the pillow and Derrick sighed and lowed the volume and
pooped to the floor ..
I joined him on the floor and he continued painting my maroon
cortex on my f!nger,
“and done!” Derrick said referring to my f!nger, he dropped my
nail polish gently and placed all the item he used in my small
purse.
I glanced at my nails it was shiny and beautiful.. “Wow Eric
you should open your own nail salon” I said smiling
“is that suppose to be an Insult or a compliment” Derrick
grinned “every which way you want it” I replied and stood up..
“so what should we do next” Derrick asked ru-bbing his palm
together
“sleep I guess” I said ru-bbing my nape
“ugh come-on it’s only 8:20” Derrick gro-an ed and a small smile
escaped myl-ips, “so what do you suggest we do then” I asked
“you know our usual thing, movie night have you forgotten” he
replied
“oh yeah” I said cheerfully tucking my hair behind my ear
“so what movie?,” I asked”
“Titanic?” he asked back
“oh yeah sure it’s been ages let’s watch it again” I said moving
to the other side of my room where there’s a small cushion
chair and opposite the chair was a medium size plasma TV..
“okay you! Make the popcorn while I get everything re-ady” I
said while Derrick saluted pla-yfully and we both laughed and
he went downstairs, immediately the door closed the music
pla-ying in the stereo st©pped pla-ying and I went over to it and
turned it off ..
Logan re-moved the pillow from his face and smiled “finally” he
said and stretches out.. I rolled my eyes and walked over to
my TV, I searched for the disc and found it, I inser-ted it in my
DVD pla-yer and when it started I paused it and quietly wait for
Derrick..
.
The door went open few minutes later and Derrick c@m£ in
with a big bowl of popcorn,
“sorry for being late princess” he apologized handing me the
bowl
“no nee-d to apologize I know it’s p@rt of you” I said with a grin
“thanks! It means so much” he said and took a hand full of
popcorn and shoving it in his mouth I pla-yfully sl@pped his full
cheeks and said “you’ve gotten your own share”
“yeah whatever” he said and we both walked to the cushion
chair and plopped right into it..
I gr@bb£d the remote and pla-yed the paused movie,…
The two of us focused on the movie like we hadn’t seen it
before, we put so much interest that we didn’t know when
Logan sat down on the same chair as ours but not to close
us.. Until when he shifted uncomfortably that when I noticed
him, I quic-kly gr@bb£d the remote and paused it..
“you? What are you doing here” I asked referring to Logan and
that’s where Derrick noticed him
“what now? So I’m not allowed to watch anymore” Logan says
sarcastically rolling his eyes..
“that’s now wh-hat I…
“could you just pl@ythis piece of $h!t!” Logan barked, I eyed
him and pla-yed the movie..
I moved closer to Derrick and snuggled myself in him, he
placed his hand around my shoulder while rested I my head on
his shoulder … Logan glanced at us and shook his head
negatively,
What wrong with him!
.
When the Titanic sh!pstarts to sink I stated to doze my eye
lids were heavy and I couldn’t take it anymore I have to go to
be-d and sleep but I was too tired to stand up and my tummy
was filled with popcorn and milk.. I sn-ked my hands around
Derrick’s b©dy and la-id my head on his che-st, yeah I can sleep
comfortably in this zone.
“whoa whoa, Lia! You can’t sleep on my b©dy you know that
your be-d is just over there” Derrick said, I Could here Logan
chuckling but I didn’t care to look, why would I care, cause
now I’m battling with my eyes and legs..
“I know but can’t I just sleep here” I gro-an ed sadly holding him
ti-ghter
“No. You can’t, my b©dy’s not a be-d, now stand up” he said
and slowly pushed me away but griped on my arm he helped
me up and I tried to walk but staggered luckily he caught me
and sighed
“carry me! ” I said, my eyes closed and my voice comes out
babyish..
“no.. Your be-d’s just over there” he said and I gro-an ed , I
walked slowly as Derrick held me and finally we’re in front of
my enormous and gigantic king-sized be-d .. I climbe-d the be-d
slowly and before I knew it my eyes closed “goodnight” I said
lowly to Derrick and finally I fell asleep..
:
The next morning I woke up and found out I was slee-ping on
my right cause I remembered facing up last night.. I opened
my eyes and found Derrick right next to me, I smiled and then
sat down I turned to my left and found Logan slee-ping too..
What the hell I sle-pt in between this Two guys.. I glanced at
my wall clock and g@sped
“OMG” I said and ran down from the be-d ..
“Derrick!” I called and wake him up
“what!” He said waking up and ru-bbing his eyes..
“it’s 7:05 we sle-pt in, we’ll be late for school” I panicked while
Derrick got down from the be-d and Logan woke up,
“what’s all this fuss about? ” he asked and glanced at the
clock
“$h!t! I’m late” he said and rushed out..
“look just chill princess we’ll make it in time,.. I have to go
Home now” Derrick said and Walked outside my room
Suddenly my door flew open and Derrick and my mother
walked in,
Huh
“Derrick! I thought you went to get re-ady for school” I said
“I know I will but your mom said I should come with her here ”
Derrick replied
“hon.. You’re not going to school throu-ghout this week, the
week’s alre-ady over and we’ll be getting you re-ady for your
wedding on Saturday” my mom said
Wedding..
The thought of that made me frown, I closed my hamper and
sighed falling on my be-d, I can’t go to school either my only
safe.. “I can stay at home with you if you want” Derrick said
“no Derrick your mom won’t be plea-sed you have to go Home”
my mom ch!pped in
“she’s my mom and Lia’s my best friend I know my mom will
un-derstand and also today’s Thursday so how many days left
for the week to be over so I guess I’ll just stay with my best
friend” Derrick grinned and I sat up and mouthed him a thank
you…
.
.
Derrick and I spend our day together, he was trying to cheer
me up since the wedding reminder thing, later that day my
mom, step mom and Logan’s step-mom went out to I don’t
know where because they didn’t tell me..
Derrick had another sleepover at my house and I was glad
Logan wasn’t around we had a lots fun and I ended slee-ping
on his b©dy again..
The next morning before I woke up, derrick was gone, I sighed
missing him alre-ady, I suddenly got a text message from me
saying he’s at school..
School!! I miss it
I stayed in my room all day re-ading a novel, I’m not a fan of
stories but unexpected marriage can lead to you liking them..
Hours later I fell asleep without eating both breakfast and
lunch .
.
I woke up that evening and I felt a hand soothing my hair.. I
opened my eyes slowly and found Derrick beside me, he’s the
one tou-ching my hair, and wow it felt good.. “plea-se continue”
I said with a sleepy voice and he flin-ched and st©pped..
“I said continue” I yelp and sat up, he smiled shyly and shook
his head negatively
“why’d you do it anyway if you know you wouldn’t continue” I
said scratching my hair..
“Uhm.. You haven’t eaten have you?” he asked, he just
changed the subject, okay weird, Derrick’s not a fan of
changing subjects he likes to get to the bo-ttomof things..
“no I didn’t have Lunch or breakfast” I said while he shook his
head negatively and said “then you and I are going to have
dinner together and you’re going to eat more than you do
cause tomorrow’s your wedding day”
“don’t remind me” I said with a sigh and c@m£ from the be-d..
Derrick stood up and we both went to the dining room .. We
met Logan at the living room, I don’t know what he’s doing
here and I didn’t bother to know..
After dinner Derrick and I went back to my room after small
talks, he wanted to tell me to stay for another sleepover but I
declined and told him he’s done enough that I’ll be fine..
After a goodnight hvg by the door he left and I went back and
drifted back to another slumber
.
# NEXT_DAY
# WEDDING_DAY
.
I was seated in a small stood while my vale was getting fixed
in my ponytail like one side br@ided hair.. Derrick was resting
on the wall behind me.. “and done” Gina said, a young lady
who practically got me dressed
She walked out of leaving Derrick and I alone in the small
white and plain room.. I stood up and turned to look at Derrick
holding my long wedding dress..
“wow” Derrick’s eyes fli-ckers immediately he said that
“you look beautifully stunning princess” he added
“thanks” I blu-shed looking down, I scratched my itchy wrist
because of the gloves I’m wearing and when I look up derrick
was still staring at me
“what?” I asked with a small smile
“what? ” he said back
“why are you staring at me like that!” I smiled
“oh..i wasn’t” he lied nervously
“Derrick!! Friends don’t lie you know” I said giving him a look
he ru-bbe-d his head nervously
“can I k!ssyou” Derrick voice said
“excuse me! ” my eyes blinked ra-pidly
Before I could say another word he moved closer and k!ss
me..
