I was back to work, doing my usual routine of cleaning, when the triplets stumbled in, taking to the stairs at once.
Next proceeded the figures of Logan and Tyler, speaking in muffled voices, yammering to each other. They took no notice of my figure crouched low to the ground, dusting and cleaning.
Unlike every other day, I noticed Tyler actually spoke much more than he used to. His head fell back, while he laughed heartily to whatever Logan was saying.
A figure walked in right behind--Cameron, eyes focusing on my form, while I averted my gaze at once, resuming my cleaning.
I heard him call my name, causing me to turn to him, noticing as he scratched at his forehead, gaze peering on at me.
Was he nervous?
"Thanks for yesterday"
"You did save me" he uttered quietly, averting his gaze from my figure.
Grabbing an item from his backpack, he held it in his outstretched hands.
"I want you to have this"
"A bid of saying 'Thank you' for helping me out"
I stared blankly at him, totally confused.
"Take it" He gestured, voice low and calm.
Petering closely, while reaching for it, I don't realized it was a ticket to a soccer game.
"My team got through to the finals of the interschool football-- I mean soccer championships"
"We'll be playing on Friday."
"And.....I'm inviting you" he said.
My eyes gaped on at him, not believing this was happening--Cameron inviting me to an event was something I never would have believed could happen.
My lips parted, wanting to say much, yet, no words were formed.
"I don't think I can make it" My words were slow, carefully pronounced.
His expression changed the instant the words left My mouth.
"Why?" He questioned in a low voice.
"I'll be working here" I stated
I really wanted to go, everything in me yearned to, but I knew it couldn't happen.
It meant a lot to me that he had taken into consideration to invite me to his soccer game, but even at that, I couldn't leave the mansion on Friday.
Plus, there was no excuse I could tell miss Tara.
"Yeah, you're right. You're gonna be busy" He spoke abruptly.
"I shouldn't have invited you anyway" His tone seemed to have changed so quick as he turned around, walking away.
Just when he was starting to hate me less, I blew it off.
