“Aren’t you going to let me in?” Her Mom said.
“Ummm, whilst scratching her head, she says.. please come in Mom”.
As her Mom walks through the front door, she glances at her daughter’s apartment with a rather disappointing look. “So who is Nathan?” She persistently asks.
“Nat…….Nathan? Oh Nathan is a friend from school. He came over with Bernice to work on a school project together through the night” Izzy says whilst avoiding eye contact with her Mom.
“Oh okay. That’s great. I thought I had missed the building because I was ringing the bell and no one responded. I had to go back down to verify the building’s number.” Her Mom responded still glancing around the apartment.
“ Oh really? I was fast asleep then. I’m sorry”. Izzy apologies.
“It’s alright. I figured since it’s pretty early. How’s Bernice by the way? It’s been forever since I saw her. The last time I did was when you both left for college. Are you both still best friends?” Mom demands.
“Of course Mom. She wouldn’t be at my place if she wasn’t”. Izzy said.
“Ding….. ding” the door bell rings again.
At this point, nothing was going to surprise Izzy anymore. She went up to the door and opened.
“Bernice? What are you doing here?” Izzy says, pushing her backwards and closing the door behind them.
“What? That’s a first! I didn’t know I needed an invitation to come see my best friend whom I always see without an invitation”. Bernice hissed.
“Ah Mom? I’ll be right back. I need to get something” she shouts out to her Mom who was touring the apartment.
“Mom? Bernice says in ecstasy. Then what the hell am I doing outside talking to you? I should be greeting Mom. You know how she gets when I’m around and don’t greet.”
“You see….. that’s the thing… Izzy whispers whilst gnashing her teeth. I kinda told her that you just left my place with Nathan.”
“You what?” Bernice raises her voice.
“Lower you voice please” Izzy says, placing her hand on Bernice’s mouth.
“Who is Nathan?” Bernice had to pry.
“That has got to be the question of the day so far”. Izzy whispers as she looks down.
“Hi loves” Madam Claudia says as she walks pass them down the hall.
“Hi Madam Claudia”. Both Izzy and Bernice replied with a smile.
Madam Claudia is one of Izzy’s neighbors.
“Who is Nathan? If I was with him this morning, then I most certainly have the right to know who the f*ck I was with. Don’t you think?” Bernice continues, slightly raising her voice, stretching her neck out towards Izzy as though she was searching for the truth in her eyes.
“Nathan is the guy I met at the bar yesterday and we kinda brought the chill here and we had quite the night”. Izzy bragged as she touched her hair.
“Ouuuu, was he handsome?” Bernice asked with her teeth all out.
“Of course. You know I don’t roll with deformed guys”. Izzy continues to brag as she rolls her eyes, taking pride in herself and her taste.
“What am I doing? Bernice asks as she hits her head. So what am I suppose to do now?”
“You just have to tell her that you forgot something here and you came to get it.” Izzy tells her.
“You owe me one” Bernice says as she opens the door.
“Momm……………” Bernice stops as she hears singing from the room.“Hallelujah…..Hallelujah…..Halle….. Elizabeth? Is that you? Put on your scarf and come join me in prayers!” Her Mom said. Elizabeth is Izzy’s birth name but only her parents call her that. In fact, only a handful of people know her real name is Elizabeth.“Sure. Coming.” Izzy says dragging her feet to the room.Bernice tried to hold her laugh. “It has begun…….Elizabeth”They both went into the room and knelt by the bed side and continued singing with Mom. That lasted for 2 hours.“Ouch. I can’t feel my legs.” Izzy complained.“Yes! Our legs are for the Lord”. Mom says raising her hands in praise.Bernice couldn’t hold he
“That’s a shame for you. Now if you’ll excuse me.” Izzy left the table calling out to Bernice and giving hand gestures that it’s time to go.A part of her was a bit happy about the fact that he’s still thinking about her and might also feel the same way she feels for him.But just a stone throw into her thoughts, she snaps out and hits her face, wondering why in the world was she thinking about that. “I know I can’t handle a relationship right now. I’m not ready so stop the fantasy lady.” She says to herself.“Hey! Hey! Izzy?? Snapping her fingers infront of Izzy's face. I think we should head home now. It’s getting quite late and Mom might start to get worried.” Bernice pinches Izzy out from whatever trans she was in.“Yeah you’re right. I also don’t want her thinking that this is how late we come home normally.”
“I want you…I want you so bad”. Nathan said, pulling Izzy close to him. “I don’t know what you’ve done to me. I can’t get you out of my mind, I can’t stop thinking about you. And in all honestly, I’ve never felt this way for any lady. In fact, coming home with a lady is not something I do, but you captured me from the very first moment. At the bar that day, I was so down and then you came along and brighten my night. I didn’t want to let you go and I didn’t know how to ask you to stay so I decided to come home with you and that had been be the best decision ever. I think I’m falling for you Izzy.”Some minutes passes and Izzy hasn’t said a word. She’s staring at Nathan and he’s staring right back at her.“Please say something Izzy. Please.”“I don’t know what to say to you. This is all a
There’s a huge silence in the room as Izzy does not know what to say to get out of the trap. “Oh Isaac! Did Bernice send you to wait for her here?” Isaac is shocked. “Who is Bern…….”Izzy laughs sarcastically as she pulls Isaac up from the chair. “Can I talk to you……..please…….by the door?” Bernice is pointed her head in the direction of the door. Isaac didn’t have so much of a choice. He was being pulled aside before he got to answer the question. Mom is lost as she doesn’t understand a thing that’s going on, at the same time, not wanted to ask immediately. “What the f*ck are you doing here in my house Isaac?” She whispers. “I needed to see you badly.” Isaac responds. “This is my home, my personal space and you think you can just barg in here anytime you like ?? Because??? Because of a one night stand??” Izzy’s pissed. “It wasn’t a one night stand. We met twice after that.” Isaac replies. “And so what? That doesn’t authorize you to come here whenever you want. In fact I’m se
“Let’s get outta here.” Izzy shouts. Isaac leaves with the girls as though it was planned. As soon as they got downstairs, Izzy made herself clear to Isaac. “Isaac or I-saac, however your name is pronounced. Leave me alone. I want nothing to do with you.” Izzy said. “Is it because you’re seeing someone else or what? Cause I know I didn’t do nothing wrong.” Isaac said. You don’t need to do anything wrong. My comfortability is what matters and as of now, I’m no more comfortable with you around me. Speaking of seeing someone else……., that’s my ride there. Ciao. Nathan came to pick them up to go for a picnic organized by a fraternity he was in. . Isaac is left there. At the picnic. Who was that guy you were standing with? Nathan ask Izzy. Oh that’s was Isaac. We were friends but not anymore. Why kind of friends? Nathan insists. “Does that really matter now? Let’s just have fun.” Izzy smiles and starts to set up the picnic as Nathan pulls her hard by the arm. “I asked you a q
The following day…..Izzy is awake. She walks out of the room to the kitchen to grab something to drink when she finds Bernice making breakfast. “Oh you slept over?” Izzy asks. “Yes I did. Which you would know if only you were paying attention last night, but you weren’t cause your mind was preoccupied with something else. Now would you want to tell me what happened in the house yesterday? Cause Izzy, you’re my best friend and believe it or not, I know you so well and i know when something is bothering you.”Izzy gives off a forced laugh and whispers that “ everything is okay. You don’t have to worry so much about me”. Bernice paces to Izzy and gives a tight hug. She whispers to her and says, “i know everything is not well. I also know you’re hurting and if it were that easy to talk about about, you would already, but i want you to know that i love you and I’m always here for you.”Izzy holds onto Bernice and little longer and takes in a deep breathe. “Now lets get something to
“Ahhhh….yes! You’re so sweet ! Yesss! Faster, keep going..yes…..You know how to make me come alive baby.” Izzy shouts in rapturous delight, pulling the sheets on both sides, bitting her lips with her eyes closed.After having the time of her life with Nathan, a handsome, good-looking, well dressed guy with beard as mesmerizing as the apple in the garden of eden who she had brought home from the bar after saying their names to each other, she heard a knock on the door.Chapter 1Ding ding.. the front door of Izzy apartment rings whilst she’s still in bed with Nathan stealing some amazing cuddles and kisses as though she had never loved anyone like that.There was silence for a while after which she sighs and says to Nathan in a soft tone “ hm….that happens all the time, making a hand gesture showing, “it’s no big deal&rdqu
