Kiara Jones rolled over on her bed groaning. This annoying sound was disturbing her peaceful sleep. The sound continued. Urgghhh. Why doesn’t it just stop? She rolled again and hid her head under the cover. There it stopped, she sighed. Now she can sleep peacefully. But no! It started again! Ok now this stupid alarm clock was really pissing the shit out of her. And why was it making noises in the first place? Who had set it on? Who had dared to set an alarm clock on in HER room! She will deal with that later but right now she needs to sleep only this stupid alarm clock won’t let her. “STOP!” she yelled in a sleep wrapped voice. Since it was only an mere object and didn’t had ears to hear and follow orders even when it’s from none other than THE Kiara Jones; it didn’t stop. That’s it! She grabbed the clock from the side table and threw it to the closed door with full force. It shattered into pieces. ‘There it’s gone. Now I can sleep peacefully.’ She sighed and started to drip into sleep again when suddenly she heard the annoying sound again. Wait! How could a broken alarm clock still run! Then she jumped on her bed. Great! She just broke her alarm clock for nothing! It wasn’t the alarm clock which was making the sound, it was the stupid doorbell! The doorbell rang again and she got up from her bed angrily. Urrrrrghhhh! Whoever it was on the door, has better got a good reason for ruining her sleep like that. She thought and stomped to downstairs. Reaching there she continued stomping until she reached the door and yanked it open. There he stood. “Do you have any idea that you just ruined my precious sleep?”
“It’s not my fault if you choose the wrong time to sleep Kiara.” He said lazily as he pushed past his way into the house. “People are supposed to sleep at night.”
“Oh really? In exactly which book is it written that people are SUPPOSED TO sleep at night?” she mocked as she locked the door behind them. “It’s my life, my house, my room, my bed and my sleep! I can sleep whenever the hell I want to!”
“Okay, keep doing it. But don’t blame other people for ruining your sleep then.”
“I will blame people every time they ruin my sleep. Specially when they do it in my own house.” She said placing her hands in her hips. “And what are you doing here anyway?”
“I’m here to baby-sit you.” He replied.
“You are here to do what?” she screamed.
The tone she used, if it was anyone else who had heard the name of Kiara Jones, they would have started running in the opposite direction as if their life depended on it which was more or less true. But he was completely unaffected by her tone and just ignored her question. Instead he asked her, “Where is your phone?”
She frowned in confusion “My phone?”
“Yes your cell phone. Where is it?”
“Umm. I don’t know.” After thinking a while she replied scratching the back of her head.
“Did you eat anything?”
“Haven’t you been listening? I just woke up from sleep. Or rather correctly YOU just woke me up from sleep. So no. I didn’t eat.”
Again he ignored her sarcasm and asked “Do you have anything in the house that you can eat?”
Again she scratched her head again and said “Umm, I don’t....know?” she said this time getting a little nervous.
“Do you even have groceries?” he asked.
“I don’t know, okay?” she snapped. “What’s with all the investigation?”
“You don’t know where your phone is. You don’t know if there’s anything in the house that you can eat. You don’t even know if you’ve got any groceries left in the kitchen or you ran out of them. And you still ask me what I am doing here? I’m here to take care of you. I’m babysitting you until your parents are back from their tour. I don’t trust you in a house all by yourself.”
“Brian! It’s not just any house. It’s my house!”
“That doesn’t change anything.” her best friend replied calmly and steadily. Ugh! Sometimes he could be just so annoying! Why was she best friends with him anyway? Oh okay she remembered. Because he has so sweet and nice and caring and….. Okay she needs to stop and focus on the problem.
“I can take care of myself.”
“Right. That’s why you don’t even know where your phone is which was coming as switched of when I was trying to call you for the past two hours. And I bet, that’s because its battery is down since you have forgot to recharge your battery as usual. Yes, you can totally take care of yourself.”
“Okay, okay. I got it. But just because I forgot to recharge the battery of my cell phone doesn’t mean that I can’t take care of myself.”
“We all know just how well you can take care of yourself, Kiara. So let’s just not waste our time arguing about it. Until aunt and uncle come back, I will come everyday to check on you and cook for you and make sure that you eat those in time.”
“Why don’t you just move here then?”
“Actually, it’s a brilliant idea! It’ll be a lot easier then. I will just do it!” He grinned.
“Brian!”
“Okay, okay. Chill out. I was just kidding. About the moving part anyway. The rest stay the same and it’s final. I’m taking care of you until your parents come back from there vacation.”
“But they are like gone for six months!”
“Then I’m babysitting you for six months.”
“Stop saying that! I’m not a baby!”
“Yes you are. Now stop whining and go get a shower while I cook for you. You are going to eat after that. And then maybe we can watch TV or something before we go out.”
“We are going out? Why?”
Brian sighed. He knew that she would forget again and he would have to remind her. How does she manage to forget the same thing every single week he didn’t know. “Kiara? It’s Sunday? Remember?” he asked pointedly. Then she remembered. “Uh, oh. Okay, I’ll be right back.” She replied and went to take a shower.
“Okay. All’s set. Now let’s go in.” Brian said as he took Kiara’s one hand in his and started walking toward the entrance but Kiara stopped him by putting her hand on his elbow. “Wait. We can’t go in just now.” She said.
“Why?” Brian asked getting confused.
“Because we’ve forget something.”
“No we haven’t. We’ve got both the tickets and the popcorns.”
“Yeah but we forgot about the most important thing.”
“And what is that?” Brian asked frowning.
“Tissue Box!”
……………………………..
Kiara shifted again uncomfortably on her sit. People were staring at them awkwardly but she can’t help it! She can’t stop the sobbing no matter how hard she tries. It doesn’t work. It never had and it never will. It was just not something she could control! So she had simply stopped trying to stop it a long time ago. And now she was doing what she always does, passing the tissue papers to Brian who was using those immediately to wipe his tears. Yes. You have got that right. Her best friend who is a guy of twenty three years old cries while watching a movie! Or rather correctly while watching a stupid emotional overdramatic romantic movie. It was their movie day. Every Sunday evening they watch a movie together. They have been doing that since they were kids. They used to watch a movie together either in Kiara’s house or in Brian’s house every Sunday evening and they named Sunday as their movie day. And when they finally grew up enough to go in a movie theater without any need of being accompanied by an adult, they started to watch a movie together every Sunday in theater instead of one of their homes. And they never miss that no matter what. If one of them gets sick at their movie day they still watch the movie in the sick one’s home. No matter how busy they are, no matter in how much pressure they are, they always manage to steal some time for their movie time. Even when they had important exams in school or college and needed every single minute to take preparation for those exams, they didn’t miss their movie date. And it wasn’t easy for them. But they overcame all the obstacles and managed the time for each other. For others, it was downright silly. But for them it was a best friends thing. It was some thing very special and it was only between them. It was “their thing.”
But the trouble begins when it comes to choosing the movie that is going to be seen since Kiara and Brian had the total opposite choice. While Brian loves romance and emotional staff, Kiara was totally into adventure and action. So they take turns at choosing the movie. One week Kiara gets to select the movie and then the next week Brian gets to select the movie and thus continues.
This Sunday, it was Brian’s week and as usual he had chosen an illogical boring romantic movie much to her dismay. Kiara sighed as she passed another tissue paper to Brian. It seems like people were far more interested in staring at them than watching the movie. But that’s not what that was irritating her so much. She was used to people’s staring due to Brian’s sobbing while watching an emotional movie. And besides who cares what people thought? It’s the movie itself that was irritating her to death. Brian is the only person in the whole world who can actually make her watch a romantic movie, the thing she hates doing most. She rolled her eyes as another stupid scene was played on the screen. ‘Seriously! What could Brian possibly see on those movies?’ she thought. ‘How could he enjoy all those crying and illogical dramas? And the dialogs! Seriously, what’s wrong with the scriptwriters? Can’t people in love speak normally? What’s with all the cheesy lines?’ Those dialogs almost make her want to throw up.
She glanced at her watch again impatiently and sighed. Thirty minutes. She would have to tolerate this nonsense for thirty more long minutes. Suddenly Brian grabbed her hand in a strong grip and she looked at him only to see his eyes widely glued to the screen.
