It wasnt my imagination

I woke up in my room very late in the evening after my nap. I was feeling very hungry, my stomach couldn't stop growling. I got up and went to look for food. I bumped into someone as soon as I stepped out of my room. I looked up to see the idiot who dares to bump into me when I am this hungry.

When I looked up I saw that it was none other than my stepsister Andrea. I wanted to reprimand her for not watching where she was going but I had more important things to do. I had to find food soon or I will die, I turned around to head to the direction of the kitchen.

"Won't you even greet your little sister ?"

I turned around and glared holes into my so called little sister's body. How can she ask me such a stupid question when my stomach is empty. Can't she see that I am in a hurry, I am very certain that her stomach is full at this very moment then how can she be so selfish as to deny me the same privilege.

I did not bother to answer and continued my journey to the kitchen. Upon arriving all the maids and cooks stop what they were doing and bowed down to greet me. Seriously I am dying of hunger and they still have time to do this instead of offering me something to eat. I wave my hand at them to get back to work. I look at them one by one trying to see if I recognize any of them. I called out to the first person I saw and asked her to serve some food for me. I pulled up the closest chair and sat down waiting for my food to arrive. The cooks were very nervous in my presence that they kept making one mistake after another. I wish they knew that I am not even interested in what they are doing, I just want my food.

The maid I ask to bring me came back with five plates of food. There was fried rice, fried noodles, fried chicken, pork and salad. I love fried food so much, I immediately dived in and started eating.

"Slow down or you will choke," I heard an annoying voice say. What is her problem can't I eat in peace in my own house. I looked up from my plate to find that annoying so called sister giving me a look of disapproval. Who in the world gave her the right to look at me like that.

"Is this how people eat in London?" She ask me adding to her judging look a smirk. Goss, I will reap her face off if she doesn't leave me alone. I ignore her and continued eating, the food is so delicious.

"Have you forgotten your after going to a foreign country ?" That annoying yapping came again. I mean some people can't take a hint. I carry my food and leaves, if I can't eat in the kitchen then I will eat in my room peacefully. I come to my room but I couldn't open the door as both my hands are full. I call out but no one comes until..

"Let me get that for you." Andrea said before reaching out and opening the door for me. I thanked her before entering the room, I settled down on the bed and continued feasting on my food.

"So..." I heard Andrea say, I looked up to see her comfortably seated in my room down on the sofa next to the window. What will it take to get rid of her, can't she see that I am not interested in talking to her. I silently watch her as she nervously plays with her fingers. Wait nervous, what is she nervous about. 'No Maja don't go around getting into other peoples problems, curiosity killed the cat which has nine lives let alone you who only has one. Better stay clear if you value your life which you do.' My inner voice said to me and she is right, moreover this sister of mine has been one problem after another since I met its best to avoid her.

"I wanted to talk to you," the she devil continued talking despite my not wanting her to." I know that we have never gotten along in the past but I was wondering if that could change. I want us to get along and if possible be friends because you are my sister and I don't want us to go on hating each other."

Hold up who is this girl in front of me and has my sister gone to. Did she just ask me if we could be friends, what is this kindergarten where the teacher says shake each others hands and everything is fixed. This person who has brought me misery since I met her wants me to be her friend. I have to admit that this is the best joke i have had in a long time. I wanted to laugh at what she said but when I looked at her I could tell she was serious. How long have I been gone, and if she is like this then how much have the others changed.

Anyway I could care less whether she has changed or not I just want her to leave.

"Sure," I say with a smile, I mean if agreeing to be her will make her leave alone then why not.

I went back to eating my food she collapsed on my bed and made herself at home. What is going on, this the point where she was supposed to say thank you for accepting my request before elegantly walking out of my room. Not plomp herself down on my humongous king size bed like she owned it.

"Now that we are friends we can share things with each right ?" She asked me laying her head on soft pillow.

"Yes." I answer her trying to see what she was playing at.

"Then can you tell me what you and Adrian talked about. To be honest I have been very curious about it. You both have reunited after so long, I'm sure you both must have poured out your feelings to each other."

"Wait tell me was Adrian here ?" I asked confused as to what she was going on about.

"Yes, that why grandfather chased everyone out of the house so that you both can spend some quality time together. Did you not meet him ?"

My mind went blank when I heard what Andrea said. Adrian was here, then that would mean that the ghost, the hug and the confession was all really him.

And before I fell asleep I heard him whisper something.

"I love you too."

My heart stopped beating when I realized that everything was real and not a figment of my imagination.
