Sometimes mistakes happen.. by K. Harris (reading comprehension books TXT) 📕

“Sarah..” he sighed. I can see hurt in his eyes.

“Be mine..” I whispered. The words escaping my mouth.

“Wait, what?” his eyes widened. Now I had to make a decision, risk it to be happy with him even with the chance of Angela returning, or hold it off till it’s too late and I lose him completely.. I remained silent for quite a while, hurt returned to his eyes.

“Be, mine.” I smiled. I would risk it all night now to see him smile. He did. I had never seen such a amazing smile, it made him soo handsome, unbelievably handsome! He picked me up and swung me, when he put me down he kissed me passionately. But we heard a voice down stairs.

“I’m home!” it was Elaine. We stopped kissing and headed downstairs. She had the biggest grin on her face.

“I found them..” she smiled. I heart was racing, after only a few hours she found them, I ran to her and wrapped my arms around her, I was crying with joy.

When I pulled back she handed me a piece of paper, it had an address and mobile number.

“Thank you!” I smiled, still crying. I ran upstairs to the quest room. I grabbed my phone to store the number. I check the time, 8:14pm. Well, I can’t wait till morning. I rang the number.

Girl: Hello Brodies phone,

Me: Hi, is this Mikky?

Mikky: yes, who’s this?

I froze for a moment. What would her reaction be?

Me: It’s Sarah..

There was a long pause, I heard a small sob.

Mikky: are you really Sarah?

Me: yes, I’ve missed you…

She hung up, my heart sank. I couldn’t believe I heard her voice… my baby sister’s voice.

I didn’t call back. I ended up laying on the queen bed and went onto my laptop. I cried for a short time. After about an hour, I felt my phone vibrating. ‘BRODIE & MIKKY’ calling. My heart jumped, I didn’t hesitate to answer.

Me: Hello?

Boy: is this Sarah?

Me: yes..

Brodie: it’s Brodie.

My heart lifted, I was now smiling.

Me: I’ve missed you!

Brodie: we miss you too, sorry Mikky hung up and she freaked a little

Me: nah, I get it would have been a big shock.

Brodie: so how are you? And dad?

Me: great, it’s just me and him now.

Brodie: yeah, I know. Mum found us last night. She went on about what you did, I’m so proud of you.

I was so happy but I can’t Angela found them..

Me: well, come back home?

Brodie: I don’t know, we don’t want hassles for Dad..

Me: do you think he’d give you the choose?

Brodie: good point. Well I know it’s your birthday Tuesday, wanna have a family day? Yes with Dad as well.

Me: I’d love that! Look, message me and we’ll organise it yeah?

Brodie: sounds good, I gotta go now, love you baby sis

Me: love you to bro.

He hung up. I had an amazing feeling inside of me. I wanted to scream with joy. I laid on the bed and day dreamed. I eventually fell asleep.

I suddenly felt a warm body carrying me, bridal style. I tried to open my eyes but they were glued shut, I was so tired. I could feel the person placing me back down on a different bed, this one was waay more comfortable! I curled up and as I was about to fall asleep I felt an arm around my waist, it was warm and gentle. I knew instantly it was Mark.

*BEEP BEEP*

I awoke to the sound of an alarm. It turned itself off after a bout a minute. I opened my eyes to see myself in Marks room, he still had an arm wrapped around my waist. He was in a deep sleep breathing heavy. I felt comfortable being next to him, I managed to roll around without waking him. I was now facing him, he was shirtless. I curled up into his chest, I kissed his chest softly and heard him moan lightly. Hmm, this could be fun! I kissed him again on the chest and he moaned again. I was able to straighten my legs and I pressed my body against his, once again he moaned. I spent about 15 minutes of this, I then notice him stir so I pretended to be asleep. He yawned and I felt his head lift up, my eyes remained shut. I felt him kiss my forehead then press his ear against mine.

“I’ve been awake this whole time ya know.” He whispered. I must have turned into a tomato.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” I pretended half asleep. He laughed and gripped me tightly against his chest. I opened my keys and looked up to see him smiling, he looked amazing. His eyes were more blue than usual. I have never seen him so, happy. I admired him so much. Wait, said be mine yesterday.. Wonder if he now classes me as his…

“Sarah?’ he whispered.

“Yes?” I replied looking up to him.

“I want to ask you something.” He replied taking a deep breath.

“Yeah?” I asked now confused.

“Will you-“ he paused, I could see he was nervous.

“Will you… go to the formal with me?” he smiled. I melted. I felt incredible.

“Yes, I’d love to.” I grinned. I kissed his cheek and sat up. We got up and got changed.

I was wearing a blue Fox crop top with grey skinny jeans and blue vans.  Mark was wearing black skinny jeans and a red singlet that showed basically every muscle he had. It made me drool a little. We ended up taking Alia to the dog park a few blocks away. I couldn’t stop thinking about those words I said. Now I don’t know if he thinks we’re a couple or that we’re ‘just friends’. I wanted to ask. How can I ask without being suss?

Mark was throwing a ball with Alia while I sat on the swing. I noticed a group of guys, about 4 walking into the park. They had 1 dog with them. Luckily neither Alia nor their dog cared about each other. Three of the guys went over to the other side of the field. But one was walking towards… me? He got close and gave a smile. He was alright looking. Probably 6ft tall, he had black hair with brown eyes. But still not as cute as Mark.

“Hey. I’m Dean.” He smiled at me.

“Hi.” Was all I said.

“Are you here alone?” He asked, checking me out.

“Nope.” I replied popping the P.  I continued to look at Alia and Mark.

“Oh, you’re with, him, huh?” he chuckled. I really wanted him to go away.

“That’s a nice dog you got there. Alia right?” he smirked.

HOW THE HELL DOES HE KNOW MY DOG?!

“Excuse me?” I raised a brow. I wanted answers now.

“I work for your Dad. He talks about you and Alia all the time.” He was now doing this, weird goofy smile.

“Sorry, you must have the wrong person.” I glared at him.

“I know you’re Sarah, may I say you’re smoking hot.” He winked at me. I hadn’t realised Mark had returned with Alia. He stood right next to me smiling.

“Hi, I’m Mark.” He smirked.

“That’s nice. Sorry but we were talking.” Dean replied looking at me.

“Yeah, my girlfriend doesn’t wanna talk to you. Plus I’d walk away before I get you sacked.” Mark was now growling. HOT!

“You can’t sack me mate.” Dean laughed.

“No but my father Luke, aka your boss can.” Mark smiled.

Dean began to glare, but walked away without another word.

*Marks P.O.V*

Who does he think he is?! Come near my girl like that. Wait… did I just say my girlfriend to him? Shit, what if she thinks I was being serious?! I turned to see her smiling at me, maybe she thinks I said it to make him go away?

“Girlfriend huh?” she smiled biting her lip. My gut dropped and I felt nervous. What the hell was I meant to say?

“Oh um, I-“ she cut me off.

“Am your girlfriend.” She smiled. It felt like I had just lifted an elephant off my shoulders. I was so happy.

“Really?” I grinned. She nodded and laughed. I sat on the swing beside her, I couldn’t stop thinking about that word. She’s my girlfriend. All mine. I turned to her to see her slightly blushing.

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I check to see Alex messaged me.

Alex:

Move is done, her rooms set up! Bring her to 23 Crimely Rd, feel free to join us – Alex

Well, here we go! I told Sarah we should take a walk around the block. I took her down Crimely Rd and we saw his car out the front of a very flash house. It was white with a blue roof, 2 story home. Sarah seem confused.

“Common.” I said pulling her to the house. I opened the door which revealed Alex with a bunch of flowers. Alex was in shock.

“Welcome to your new home.” Alex smiled giving her the flowers. She began to cry and hugged her Dad. I took Alia off the lead and she was wondering around the new house. It was beautiful.

“Common I’ll give you the royal tour!” Alex yelled, he was happy.

We were in the living room at the time, it had white walls with grey carpet. All the furniture was black except the couch that was a baby blue colour. We then continued to the dining room which was plain. The kitchen was incredible, it was white with wooden bench tops. It looked amazing. Then we headed upstairs, first we seen Alex’s room which was the size of Sarah’s old room. It was all red in colours with black furniture. The walls were cream. We then seen the study and spare bedroom. There was the bathroom which was huge! It had a shower, basin and toilet AND a spa. Then lastly, Sarah’s room. It was MASSIVE. The walls were sky blue, her furniture was white and her floors had grey carpet. She had a new queen size bed with a fresh set on it. Her room looked like a photo you’d see in a magazine. Stunning! Just like her. (hehe)

“Dad! I love it!” She screamed. She literally couldn’t keep her excite under control, she’d be squealing one second then crying the next.  She still looked adorable though.

“I couldn’t be happier!” she repeated for about 10 minutes.

She eventually settled down, we all sat in the lounge room talking. Sarah looked nervous. I think her Dad doesn’t know about her finding the siblings.

“Dad, I need to tell you something. I, found Brodie and Mikky.” She sighed, unaware of his reaction. His eyes widened.

“You… did?” he asked shocked.

“Yes, they’re coming over tomorrow for my birthday. I really hope you’re happy..” she looked pale.

“Sar, I’m so proud of you!” Alex had a tear run down his left cheek whilst smiling.

“Would you like to ring them with me?” she asked smiling.

He nodded excitingly, getting up to sit next to her. I thought it was time for me to leave.

“I better get going, I’ll see you soon.” I said getting up. I didn’t wanna kiss/hug her since her Dad was there, I think she caught on, I left and headed home.
