Nineteen: Awkward
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The disturbing sound of the bedside alarm pulled me from my sleep. I was so, so tired, but I had to wake up as soon as possible. Good for me, today's class was only for two hours since we were close to the end of the semester.
"Oh, goodness," I said that as I yawned. Sitting up, I rubbed my hands against my eyes, the unpleasant smell of my mouth causing my nose to scrunch. Violently scratching my scalp, I slowly opened my eyes. And seeing Virg, I gawked.
What? She was wearing a red wig? The nerd?
"Virginia?" I was really shocked.
She glimpsed at me, and resumed staring at her reflection in the mirror. "What? Why are you staring at me that way?"
"You're wearing a red wig?" I hopped from my bed, sauntered to her.
Reaching her, she grumbled, and turned around to face me. "I knew you'd say something about this. Is it a crime to be on red h

Slowly, he drove. It was about seven in the evening, and I had definitely enjoyed my ride to his place. We chatted, joked, and played some crazy games. Coming here wasn't a bad choice after all.Parking his car in the parking lot of this enormous condominium, he stepped out, jogged to my door to open it for me."Thank you," I said to him, and waited as he spoke with the old man who had also just stepped out of his car.Grabbing my phone, I read Bella's text message. On my way here, I had told her I would come home a bit late, and she kind of teased me when she had known it was Roy's place I was. Silly lady."Come on." Roy appeared in front of me, smiling. "Let's go in now.""Sure."He allowed me to walk first. Soon, we reached a glass door, tall and wide. And stepping in, we strolled into the first elevator in the reception, headed to the se

"Hey, guys?" Jason walked in through the already opened door. Another confusing thing was, how the heck did they know the pin to get into the building? Were they that close that they knew personal things about one another?Amy smiled, and rushed to him. "Hey, baby? How're you doing?"I looked away. This was devastating.Only recently, Jason had told Bella he wasn't with any other lady. As well, Roy had assured me that I was the only woman in his heart. But, here they were, caught playing games. Stupid games."Renee." Roy held my hand. I looked at him, giving him a blank expression. "Come please. I need to explain something to you."I kept quiet, scared that I would cry if I had to speak. Well, I was one emotional person. Very little things made me cry. But, that also didn't mean I was foolish.We walked back into the balcony. I knew Kathleen
Chasing his Twenty two: Give up
Roy___"What did your mom say?" Kathleen asked, sounding so worried.I sipped from my wine, sighed. "She's upset."She scooted close to me, and soothed my back. When I turned to her, I smiled. "I'm so sorry, hun," she said."It's not a problem. I'll be fine," I assured her."I'm glad you will."I choked on my wine, widened my eyes. Gosh, I had totally forgotten Renee was waiting in there. Jeez, she would be upset already. I had told her to wait for a while, but I had spent over an hour speaking to my angry mom."Oh, jeez." I hopped from the couch, put my glass on the small stool in front of me. "Where's Renee? I totally forgot she's here?"Kath scoffed. I knew she didn't like Renee so much, so I expected that."I don't know," she said. "She's probably in the living

The stench of a burning substance made my nose scrunch. I sat up, rubbed my knuckles against my sleepy eyes, too lazy to get up from bed."What the heck is that?" I murmured, my eyes slowly opening.My eyes caught Barb. She was on her bed, glaring at herself. "It's your butt that's smelling. Virg fried it while you were asleep.""Huh?" I furrowed my eyes at her. Just about to say something, Virg slammed the door of the bathroom, stormed to her bed. "What's going on?" I asked further ."Um, someone just burned breakfast." She glared at Barb, and dropped her butt on her bed. "And now, we've got nothing to eat. We're helpless.""I said I'm sorry!" Barb whined. "I had a phone call, so it's not like I did it on purpose."Virg rolled her eyes, walked to her bedside table, and hissed when she grabbed her purse. "Alright, let's get pizza," she suggested.&
Chasing his Twenty four: Dance
Bella____I didn't know how it happened, but I had agreed to talk with Jason. Did he use charm on me?It was six in the evening already. After Renee had left, I had also left the dorm in order to prevent speaking with him. But when I had returned, I had seen him sitting on the balcony. It got me quite flustered, but what could I do? It seemed like he was more than willing to speak with me.We had been staying here for about five minutes already. Silence was the only thing that moved around us. The sky was getting dark, and the city was calm and boring.He stared at the view through the balcony, his hands in the pocket of his track pants. Did he wear a tracksuit because I was also in that? Had he been stalking me?I glared at him, so enraged. I was particularly angry because he looked so handsome. A cheat like him deserved to be so ugly. His brown hair ought to
Chasing his Twenty-five: Lovers
We hadn't spoken with each other yet. After I had offered to dance, which was crazy, he had asked me to come into his condo. As soon as I did, he went somewhere, and still hadn't returned even after twenty three minutes.Okay, I had to work tonight. And if he wasn't ready to talk with me, it was better I returned home, and gave him some time alone. He was probably not in the mood to have anyone around.I took my phone from the couch. One hour left before I would go to work. I couldn't wait any longer. It was time to leave.I was upset, but I didn't change my mind. Wasting my time here wasn't a good idea. I had too many things to do. My exams, my work, my family, all those could help me get rid of thinking about him.Standing in front of the tall door, ready to leave, I groaned at myself. Shit, how would I open this door? I didn't know the code, and I also didn't have access to
Chasing his Twenty six: Mine
The last two weeks had been quite stressful for me. I was working, at the same time reading for my exams, also trying to balance my relationship with Roy. Roy had said he was fine with me having to work a lot, but I didn't want to make the same mistake I had made in my last relationship. No matter how large the workforce was, I was going to balance it all.Walking into my room, I shut the door behind me. About to sit for a while, my phone rang. Seeing it was mom, I smiled."Hi beautiful momma," I greeted her.She chuckled. "Silly. How're you doing?""I'm good." I propped my butt on the bed, exhaled. "I'm just kind of bulked with so much to do.""I'm sorry for that. When are you gonna come home?" She asked.I sucked my teeth. "Um, I'll finish my exams soon. Don't worry about that. I'll let you know when I'll return."
Chasing his Twenty seven: Hands up
"And that was how it happened." Roy intertwined our fingers together, smiled widely.We were walking down the silent road, heading somewhere. Our date had lasted about an hour already. After he had parked his bike close to a coffee shop, he had asked us to stroll to where he was taking me to."I love these earrings." I smiled as I told him that. He had bought it for me, and I loved it! It was gold and it looked quite expensive. I didn't appreciate expensive things, but I liked that this one was from him.He stopped walking, and I did the same. About to turn to him, he hurried to stand in front of me. As he did so, he grinned. I was confused by that, but I said nothing. Could he be checking me out? He hadn't complimented my looks, and I was surely still expecting him to talk about it."What?" My eyebrow quirked.He narrowed his eyes at me. "There's somethin

The cool breeze staggered through us, teased my hair, causing goosebumps to rise on the exposed part of my skin. I smiled as I stared up at the sky, so happy. Particularly happy because Roy was with me. He had his arms around my waist from behind, no inch left between us."When will you return?" I asked him, my voice soft.He pecked my ear. "In a week. You'll miss me?""Hmm, maybe."He sighed. "Renee, I'm so glad we're finally going to be happy.""Me too." I sighed."I can't wait for you to graduate. We'll be able to leave here, and start a life together," he said.That melted my heart. So he also wanted to start a life with me? So nice."Yeah."Dropping another kiss on my ear, he stepped backwards, held my arms, and twirled me around to face him. He looked stre

"Pancake or?" I gave Mom a questioning look, waiting patiently for her to answer my question.She sighed. "Pizza. Just order a pizza.""Good." I grinned at her, rushing to get my phone from the living room. I was particularly happy because I wouldn't have to cook any longer.I logged in to the website of the store I loved to order food from, and ordered a pizza immediately. Done with that, I sauntered back to the kitchen.Stepping in, I sighted mom first. She was glued to her phone, and for some reason, sweat seeped on her forehead. Her eyes were widely open, and she swallowed. She looked tense."Mom?" Hearing my voice, she flinched.She blinked about two hundred times in one second, inhaled hard. "Oh, dear. Have you ordered the pizza?"I nodded, pulling a concerned look. "Mom, what's going on? Why do you see

I watched as Virg packed her stuff, tears in my eyes. Her mom was here to take her home. And, I didn't know when next I would see her. She said she wasn't sure she would survive the cancer, and thinking about that, I was even more fearful. I just couldn't think of losing her."When will the dorms be shut?" She asked, snapped her neck in my direction, smiled at me."Um…" I smiled to ensure she didn't notice the tears in my eyes. "Tomorrow, I think.""That means y'all will be leaving today, right?" She zipped her big box, starting to arrange her bed."Yeah. Barb left yesterday," I informed her."Honey." Mrs. Julio, Virg's mom, ambled into the room.This woman was definitely the youngest mom I had ever seen. Tall, slim, her dark skin so fresh, curvy figure, and her partial grey hair always neatly styled.

The elevator stopped when it reached the floor of Roy's Condo. Stepping out, I headed to the condo. Smiling, I took a glance at the cookie I had made for him. And, raising my neck, that was when I had to bump into someone. I would admit, I was quite clumsy.Ah. Shit. No. Not now. This moron, Kathleen. What the heck was she doing here?She scoffed. "Damn, you again? Whenever I see you, I always feel like starting my day over.""Stupid," I muttered, scoffed as well. "Woman, you think highly of yourself. Funnily enough, you've got a really low standard. A person who can stoop so low as stealing a babe's guy, has no class at all.""Blah blah." She flapped her hand in the air, rounded her eyes like the idiot she was, sneered as well. "Poor you. I'm so sorry for you. Like I'll say, that dude's mine. And it's so sad you're not willing to back off."I sighed in frustration. "

I moved my lips, but said nothing. I was so shocked. How had it happened? How had she gotten to meet a boy? This sounded too crazy to be true."Bella, how did it happen?" I managed to ask.She stopped wailing, put her eyes down, sobbed. "A few weeks ago, I went to the club. I wanted to speak with you, but you weren't there. Your boss said you weren't working that night. And then, I-I saw Jason there.""Jason?" I dropped my mouth. So she slept with that idiot? Really?"Yeah." She rubbed off the tears on her cheek. "He offered to have a drink with me, and I accepted. I didn't want to, but I thought it would be a good way to get rid of the stress I felt.""Oh goodness." Barb slapped her hands against her forehead, probably knowing where Bella was leading her story to.Bella sniffed. "We both got drunk. He drove us to the hotel, and then, we&hel
Chasing his Forty three: News
This bed was comfy, comfy enough for me to have a great sleep. I rolled on it, pulled the blanket over my naked chest, yawned as well. Wait, why was my chest naked?"Oh my gosh!" I sat up straight, gasped. I was on Roy's bed. Naked on his bed.Ah, quite embarrassing.I pulled the blanket up, to cover my chest, ran my fingers through my rough hair. Where was Roy? He wasn't on the bed. Did he go somewhere?Glancing up at the wall clock, I grumbled on seeing it was nine in the morning. First, mom would be so worried. Second, my roomies would be worried. Also, I wasn't supposed to sleep till nine!Heaving a sigh, my eyes caught the shirt I had worn last night. And, that brought a clear memory of how Roy had slipped off the shirt from my body, how he had almost ripped off my underwear, how he had adored my body. He had made my first time so memorable. I was gla

I wasn't hearing the honking car anymore. Was this death? Was I in heaven? But woah, I was still hearing the barking guys.I pressed my hands against my ears, not wanting to hear anything. I just kept weeping. I just wanted everything to be silent."Are you fine?" That voice was familiar. I knew that person.Slowly I raised my neck to spot whoever had asked me that. And, this instant, I knew a miracle existed. This was a miracle. A big one."Roy!" I jumped from the ground, cuddled him tightly. He dropped a kiss on my forehead, soothed my hair, sighed."Are you okay?" He asked."I'm so scared." I wept on his chest. "I thought they would kill me.""Don't worry." He cupped my jaw, looking so worried. "They won't hurt you any longer. I'm here to help you out."I nodded.
Chasing his Forty one: Heaven
Something hit my eyes. Whatever that was, was hot, disturbing and crazy. It pulled me from my sleep, which was so annoying. I had to sleep. I hadn't slept so well in a long time.A knot kept my hands and legs captive. I tried to move on this bed, but it seemed impossible to. And, what in the world was this bed made of? Rock?As I yawned, my bad breath attacked my nose, which made me scrunch it. And, trying to sit up, I opened my eyes.I gasped. I was scared. I remembered all that had happened last night.My legs and hands were tied. I was sitting on a dusty floor, close to a terribly old sofa. I knew something had been wrong with where I had been sleeping, but I didn't know it was a floor not a bed.The thing that had pulled me from my sleep was the sun that passed through the silky curtain on the small window above my head. Where was this place?
