Big Mouth

ZITA'S POV

"Jason,how could you?How could you do this to me damn it?"

"Zita let me explain."

"Yeah right.Like you magically slept with a girl?Do I look that much of a fool?"

"But it was a mistake,surely you should know that?I love you.

Damn it,I was going to propose you."

Zita's eyes brimmed with tears.She blinked rapidly.

"But why?"She whispered under her breath.

"I was drunk honey.I thought its you."

Zita scoffed.

"I heard you grunting that slut's name.

Shut your lying ass mouth."

He caught her arm.

"Wait,Zita.Please forgive me.It was a mistake.

I swear I love you.Give me a second chance."He almost pleaded.

"I need fresh air."

Zita wrenched her arm and stepped outside the apartment.

In a way she felt bad.But nowhere she had it in her to forgive him.

"Zee Zee?"Antonio's voice brought her back from her old thoughts.

"Zee Zee Sis makes weird noises while sleeping."

"Huh?"

"Nat makes weird noises while sleeping."Antonio repeated.

"That's called snoring kiddo."

"Duh..I know what is snoring."

"She makes noises as if she's in pain.Is my sister alright?"Now I was intrigued.

"What kind of noise kiddo?"

"Ooohh aahh hmmm something like this".

"What?"I choked on my coffee.Antonio nodded looking concerned.Think something fast.

How can I explain a ten year old boy that his sister was having a wet dream?Damn you Nat!

I cleared my throat.

"Umm Toni nothing is wrong with your sister.Its just that sometimes girls have weird dreams,boys too, that is why they make those noise."Way to go Zita..that explanation sucks..

He nodded trying to understand yet confusion marring on his angelic face.

"Girls are weird and gross."He made a disgusted face.

"Hey bud you cant say that.."

"Ugh..whatever Zee Zee.

"Why don't you go and watch tv?"Zita suggested.

"Yes right,I am going to watch tv.Catch ya later."Saying that he ran away from the room.

I exhaled a loud breath.Crisis averted..

I mentally planned to torture my bestie.

At that moment Natalia came inside the room holding a coffee mug.

"Hey doofus what's up"?

"Ooohh aaah fasteerrr.."Her eyes popped out.

"Hey what the hell is wrong with you?

There are my parents in the next room.Not to forget Antonio."

"Hmm..uhmm."

"Are you day dreaming now?"Natalia's lips quirked.

"Atleast I am honest about my daydreaming unlike other people who has weird night dreams in presence of her little brother."Natalia's eyes widened.Her mouth went dry.

"What?"She shrieked and blurted the coffee out of her  mouth.

"Did Antonio say something?"

"Gotcha..Now spill."

NATALIA'S POV

"Gotcha..now spill."

"Uhmm..uh.."

"Go on..colour me intrigued."

"I dreamt about Etienne."I whispered,whooshing out a loud breath.

"I knew it."

I sighed and told her about my weird dream sparing her some details.

She belly laughed at my face.Even I cracked a smile.

"Well I cant blame you Nat for dreaming about that hot ass..who wouldn't want to tap that"?

I rolled my eyes at her crude remarks.

"By the way I think you should talk to Toni and explain him that you were just dreaming something foolish..Or your trial will be held in front of your parents."

My eyes popped out yet again.

"No freaking way, I'll speak to him.I'll come with some excuse."

"Yeah,you do that.Also you should definitely sent that smart kiddo to school."

I hummed and added:

"I was thinking of applying Antonio in my own school.That way I can pick and drop him personally without giving my parents any kind of inconvenience".

"That is certainly a good idea."

After a moments silence.I interrogated Zita.

Since she is back.There is something that is disturbing her.I cant put my name to it.So I asked her directly.

"So my turn."

"Be my guest."

"So tell me how did you plan on coming here?"

"Hey I was missing my best friend."

"Yeah keep saying that.We both know that is the half truth."

"Boo boo seriously I don't want to be in Davenport anymore.I miss you."

"Awww..Love you Zita bear."

"Love you more Boo boo."

"Why don't you apply here,I mean in Chicago.?And you can stay at my place?"

"Well that seems like a reasonable idea.But frankly speaking, I don't know what I'm going to do?Anyway I'll think about it."She answered.

The next day all the staff member had a meeting for the School Annual Function.I was still facing the monday blues.Everyone looked chirpy and refreshed.

I was trying very hard to keep my eyes open.I needed a coffee asap.Suddenly one of the board members discussion caught my ears."Since Mr.David Martin has retired,so we can call his son right?"One of the directors queried.

"You mean Etienne Martin?"Without thinking I blurted out.All eyes were on me.Shit..this damn mouth of mine.

"Yes Miss Taylor,do you know him?"

"Umm..yes I mean no.Umm..He's my neighbour."

Now everyone was staring at me.I was feeling damn nervous.

"Excellent!Then you can invite him easily."Said Mr.Lawson. (our school principal)

"No" I almost shouted."I mean he has other apartment so he spend most of the time in that apartment."I lied.

"No problem..You can invite him in his office."He looked at directly in my eyes.

"But.."

"Miss Taylor, Martin International gives us large donation..so its our duty to maintain a cordial relation with our biggest investor.I hope you understand the gravity of the situation?"

"Today after school you can give him the invitation card personally."

Mr.Lawson wasn't asking for my opinion.It was an order.

"Sure sir".I mumbled.

Sighing internally.I rebuked my big mouth.What have I gotten myself into?
