* Two *

Skylar: Thanks.

Damn, there are so many blocks where should I start? Ooh, I stared at a piece of writing. Wait the key has both the block and room number, so it is block 6 room 10. They have made my job easier. I finally found it, after long hours of search. Well, it has been a couple of minutes, I might be exaggerating. Wow this room is so pretty, well it is too girlish for my style but it is so clean. Looks like Kate has a problem at hand. I am more of a pig. I made myself at home, threw the bags on the floor and just laid on the bed, and eventually dozed off.

Kate: Skylar! wake up (I felt a hand on my shoulder).

Skylar: Shit! (I said impulsively) Who are you? (I spoke).

I tend to act and say crazy shit when i wake up from my naps or deep sleep.

Kate: It is Kate your ...

Skylar: I know. (I interrupted). Lol do not mind me, I tend to say some crazy stuff when I wake up. Like one time I fell asleep when my parents went out, so they told me to lock the door, because it is not safe and wait for them to return. Knowing that I fall asleep easily I decided to watch some movies, unfortunately, I dosed off a couple of hours, I am not sure how many, my parents arrived and knocked on the door, I remember waking up, going straight to the door instead of opening up I told them that the keys were under the doormat, flower pot and I started talking shit so my parents ended up sleeping in the car. At first, my mom thought that I do it deliberately but turns out I'm like that. Do not worry though, I am seeing Doctor Jules, my therapist. (There is an awkward silence and Kate is giving me the crazy look like I am crazy or something so I bury my head avoiding eye contact). What? I talk too much, don't I?

Growing up, I was more of an introvert, so I came up with a coping mechanism. talking, I often talk a lot when I feel nervous. It helps me not to hear my negative thoughts. Weird? Well for some people it is but this is me. 

Kate: No... Ok well, yah. Just a little. (She says teasingly). It is just that I thought that you were the quiet and shy type turns out that you are talkative. (She jokes).

Skylar: I knew it. Well, I am shy honestly, I tend to be a chatterbox when I'm nervous. I will stop (I laugh).

Kate: No please don't, I think it is cute. I like this version of you... Right, I thought you might be hungry so I bought food for you, here you go. (She hands over a takeaway, ooh yum, chicken, potato wedges, and coleslaw were on the menu with ginger beer drink).

Skylar: Thank you. Looks good(I said shyly). How much is it. (I take of my wallet).

Kate: No, you don't need to pay. It's on me.

Skylar: Wow. That is so kind of you. Thanks.

That is so kind and thoughtful of her.

Kate: No problem, roomie. Wait till you taste the potatoes. HEAVEN!

I laughed. We sat besides each other on the mini desk and talked about our lives, the good, funny, embarrassing and bad things as we ate our meal. We laughed, shared ideas and we were gay. I had a fantastic time.

                                                     Bath Time

Kate was about to have a shower... She undressed and I looked away I did not want to seem like a creep, that is a disadvantage of being gay. I feel like I might make her uncomfortable or what if I can't resist and I act up doing something stupid and regretful? 

Kate: Why are you looking away? I actually don't mind, you are a girl and I'm a girl too. Unless you are a lesbian? Are you? (She laughed).

When she mentioned that I felt my heart beating faster, I started asking myself questions, my head started spinning and I remained silent...Was it that obvious? I thought I was lowkey.

                               Still silent...

Kate: Wait or are you? (She asked curiously).

Skylar: (The pressure and tension increase. Shit what should I do, what should I say? Can I tell her?)

Skylar: No! ( I said abruptly).

Kate: Jeez, relax and have a chill pill I was only just playing. Anyways I am on my way to take a shower, wanna join me? (She smiled).

Say yes...

Skylar: No I will bathe later (I politely declined).

Kate: Ok suit yourself. Bye roomie. (She waved).

She shut the door on her way out. Argh, that was stupid of me to say. I missed an opportunity why did I refuse? This is not like me, she is turning me soft. Normally I was a fuck girl, I would date different girls at the same time, toy with their emotions, and satisfy myself but with her, I feel weak and vulnerable. Sky you got this, when she comes back I am going to tell her that I am gay, confess my love to her and make her mine. Easy just like the old times, if I managed to date Tess who is she? Tess, daughter of multimillionaire John Kulo, Tess was the prettiest girl and one of the popular girls at our high school Naledi Senior Secondary School, and guys would have to die in order to date her. She was a tough nut to crack. But guess who managed to penetrate and cultivate her stoned heart? You guessed right, this bitch,  well she was straight and I turned her gay, you know how we players do it. Come to think of it I never really loved her she was too clingy, rude, and spoilt. I only dated her to prove to my girls that Sky can get who she wants,  if it was not for her father is rich and the bet I would have dumped her ages back but enough of my ex, that is a story for another day.

I then laid down on my bed with smiles, reminiscing about everything that happened today. I have fallen head over heels for this girl. Who knew if she is actually the one. The search is over, finally, I have found my missing piece of the puzzle. Kate...

Skylar: G****e plays Godspeed by Frank Ocean.

This is my jam. I sat back, chilled, and listened to this masterpiece. Guess I must have gotten carried away. It is funny how time seems to go fast when you are caught up in the moment. Love is amazing but yet it can also cause distress. Love is like a virus, once it gets into your system you can't get rid of it. There is no cure but it can be controlled. No matter how much you try to resist this kind of temptation, you end up falling in love. The great wizard casts a spell so powerful that even you cannot break from it. Love is not for the weak. Love knows no status. Whether you are rich or poor, at the end of the day everyone finds love. I felt butterflies in my tummy.

Skylar: Oh shit, I have to shower. (I said getting off the bed, as I head off to the closet reaching for my toiletry bag. I got lost in my fantasy world again. Suddenly there was a knock on the door). Who is it? (I said, I just arrived here I barely know anyone here maybe they are here for Kate. I unlocked the door and when I opened the door, to my surprise there stood a tall light-skinned, well-structured and smartly dressed guy) Hi, can I help you?...
