So what that we are different? chp 12

"Let's go, the light box has brighten up" Terrius said by holding Xinyi's left hand

Xinyi didnt want to walk but she was staring at the little boy with a huge cup of soda and popcorn.

"Xin.." He was about the ask her to move and he saw what was she looking at.

"I will get some for you." He said and both of them walked to the snacks counter

"Good afternoon, Sir." greeted the girl in the counter. "what would like to have?"

"A huge cup of Soda and a pop corn, and also 2 fairy floss." Tiffany appear out of nowhere and made the orders. "Oh.. I would like a pink fairy floss, how about you xinyi darling?"

"Tiffany!" Xinyi cried and hugged her

"Sweet heart, which colour of fairy floss would you like have?" she asked

"Purple!" Xinyi cried happily

"Everything will be xxxAUSD. " said the girl in the counter

Terrius was stunned and stoned, he didnt know how should he react.

"What are you waiting for!?" Asked Tiffany "Pay!"

He was awake by the question of Tiffany and took out the money from his brown wallet to pay.

"Since when you were here?" he asked Tiffany

"Since both of you were heading to the snack counter, i tried to run, but there were too many people. you asked me to come along, remember?" she said and took some fairy candy and asked Terrius "fairy floss?"

"Fairy floss? i thought it's candy floss." He said and opened up his mouth to allow Tiffany place some into his

"It's known as fairy floss in Aussie." she answered "where are the movie tickets?"

"Is in my wallet" he said and looked at his both hands that were holding popcorn and sodas.

"I will help you" Tiffany said and took out his wallet of the back of his jeans and passed to the man that were standing at the cinema entrance

"Your daughter is so different from both of you." The man said while tearing the tickets

"Is not our daughter." Terrius said calmly

"Oh.. sorry.."

"Is ok.. is our friend's daughter." Tiffany lied because she feel annoyed to explain all over gain and again every time when people ask.

The first time was the guard in her apartment asking is Terrius her husband or lived in boyfriend and is xinyi his ex-wife kid. the other time was the women in the restaurant insist that Terrius and her were are a relationship and didnt allow them to explain any further. she is tired with all the explanation.

"Tif! " Terrius cried

"Huh!?"

"What were you thinking?" He asked "The tickets, i dont remember our seats location."

"Ohh.. here..." she said and passed the tickets on her hand to him

"I cant believe Dumbledore died." complained Xinyi "I am so sad."

Both of them were silent

"I read the book, and when Dumbledore died, i stopped reading it for two days, because every time i touch the book, i cried." Said little Xinyi

The were still silent because both of them did not read the book. They didnt know what to answer.

"What would like to have for dinner?" finally Tiffany asked

"I dont feel like eating..." said little xinyi and tears were on her cheeks

"What happened!?" asked Tiffany

"Dumbledore... the gentle and kind Dumbledore ... died...." said xinyi "i cant believe it! what would happen to Hogwarts? oh no.. and they... oh no..."


"Tiffany, i really hate you." Terrius whispered

"WHAT!?" she asked

"out of so many movies, ice aged and etc." he said in a deep voice "why!? why harry potter!?"

"I feel like watching and i saw her looking at the internet about the movie." she answered "okay, i am sorry. i didnt know it will be that sad."

"so now what?" he asked

"honestly, im freaking hungry." she answered "feel like having Japanese cuisine."

"How about...?" He was looking at Xinyi

"Believe me, when we reached, she will be hungry and all of us will dine happily."

"Okay, the last time." he said
___________________________

The dinner ended happily and Tiffany finally manage to stop Xinyi from thinking about Harry Potter but Sponge bob Square Pants at the mean time she successfully put her into sleep. Terrius found it very amazing how convincing can Tiffany be but somehow he is also worry about something else.

"Tif.." He said calmly while he was sitting on the sofa in Tiffany's living room with a newspaper

"What?" she asked and sat on the bean bag on the floor with a glass of hot milk

"Why didnt you offer me a glass of whatever on your hand?" he asked

"Is a glass of hot milk!" she said "you want?"

"You didnt offer it to me..."

"Take this! i havent dank." she said and passed the glass to him "I will make a glass for myself later. what do you want to tell me?" she asked

"about Xinyi." he said after placing the glass on the coffee table "her parents is still missing after 2 weeks."

"uh huh..." she nodded

"I thought we should send her to school or something." he suggested "the summer vacation is going to end on next week, and i think she should go to class."

"Why are you telling me all these?" She asked and rose form the bean bag she was sitting on "I have no idea at all. you are the one who promise to look after her. and as you know, i will not have the time to look after her. and at the same time, you have been sleeping in my living room for 2 weeks, my living room is like your bedroom now. and it will actually spoilt my reputation."

"Well, i cant bring her to my place." he said

"Why not? your apartment is so much larger and it's so comfortable there. i would love to stay there is i have a chance."

"Well, but it's more cozy in your place." He said thinking that how cool will it be if she change the sofa

"But, you know." She said carefully "and.. and.. i have no idea when will my parents will surprise me! what if they turned out in front of me like what i dreamed the other day? and what if some day like what you did most of time sneak into my room and slept beside me because the sofa is too small for you!?"

"I mean.. i know we are 'clean'.. but.. but.. still.. what if the guard told them like your daughter is sleeping with a guy! and you know, you look so good, and you greet with the guard every morning! certainly, he will remember you! right? right? right!?" she almost cried out

"Arr... now i see the point." He said "you are afraid that i spoilt your reputation." he smiled wickedly

"Of coz.."

"However, the other day i answered your sister's call."

"WHAT!?"

"Didnt she ask who are you!?"

"I told her, I am your friend."

"...." She was silent

"Anyway, can we back to our topic? about Xinyi."

"I have no idea, Terrius." She said "I dont know.. if you were to send her to school, how can you ensure that those people wont kidnap her as well?"

"I dont know." He said "What if her parents gone missing for a year or two? and she will be doing nothing for that long? I dont mind looking after her, money is not a problem to me. but.." he was about to continue and he noticed that Tiffany was asleep and her head was on his shoulder.

What should he do to Xinyi? He is so puzzled. Tiffany is so young, she is not even sure about her life yet. why on Earth did he ask her about Xinyi when she is still not clear about her furture? he is just adding more burden into her. he said and laughed at himself. He carried Tiffany into her bedroom and slept beside her because the cheap sofa in her bedroom is really awfully hard and uncomfortable.
