He stuttered; “You…you want me?”
She nodded coming closer to him but he shook his repeatedly.
That can’t be true. Is she kidding or maybe drunk?
He looked away from her and stood up nervously”You okay? Are you out of your mind?”
She shrugged; “You can say that I’ve finally lost it then”
“You need to leave”
“Why are you pushing me away?”
He gritted his teeth. If only she knows how much what she just said is affecting him.
If only she knows that she’s getting him all riled up and excited for nothing; “You don’t get it Diane”
“I do”
“How?”
She stood up moving closer to him, “You don’t like me. If they should count pretty girls…” She paused when she stood few inches away from him. His intimidating blue eyes were glaring daggers at her as if they wanted to pluck her off for just speaking her mind;
“If they should count pretty girls…” She repeated, “I don’t think I will ever make the list”
He scoffed. This is what he h@tës and what she doesn’t get. Then, how will she say that she understands it?
“Just leave please” he pleaded but she didn’t.
She was hurt.
Why is he chasing her away like a dog? What’s wrong with having a thing with your best friend?
“I’m not leaving”
He made to enter his room, “I will take you home” she held his arm, “I don’t want to go home”
“But you’re clearly not in your right mind now!” He yelled out almost losing her mind.
He’s scared.
“I’m not!!! Your crazy attitude drives me insane!! Why won’t you want me? Aren’t I pretty enough? Huh! Clara wasn’t as pretty as me remember?”
He half closed his eyes, “Look Diane, what you’re asking for is dangerous and…”
She snapped, “Because we don’t love each other? It’s not gonna be a big deal”
“It is!!”
“Why?”
He kept quiet.
“Why? Answer me!”
BECAUSE I’M GOING CRAZY FOR YOU DIANE! CAN’T YOU SEE IT? … He wanted to scream out but took a seat on his couch gathering his robe and tying the rope properly.
Her eyes were on the rope. She watched him tie it around his robe carefully as if he isn’t planning on pulling it off infront of her.
But she wanted to. She wanted to peep into the tanned skin of his. She wondered how she was friends with him for quite that long without having a thing with him.
She smirked and his eyes came to her face, “What?” He asked.
“I’m wondering how I couldn’t keep any man just like I kept you” she sat down beside him.
She touched his palm and goose pimples gathered around his skin. He suddenly felt hot so he removed her hand from his.
Self control…he whispered to himself but she wasn’t gonna let him succvmb to his self control.
She pushed her arm into his robe and clutched his broad chest. He stopped breathing.
That feeling he had been trying so hard to control let loose, something or someone was singing a beautiful lullaby in his head.
She trailed her fingers all over his body and then undid his rope burying her face into his chest.
He gasped out…
*
He made the wrong choice. Yeah he did. He reminded himself as he paced around his room.
Breaking up with her gave her room to run faster into that stupid guy’s arms.
That thought almost killed him. He sighed out loudly before he tried picking up his phone to call her.
He hesitated.
What if she don’t take his calls? He really screwed up. He dialed her number;
“Jeff!!” Her voice echoed into his ears that he almost teared up,
“Babe…Babe I…”
“Why did you call? I’m that cheap to you? I’m someone you treat anyhow you want and still come back to just as you wish right?”
“Where are you now?”
“Why do you want to know?”
“I want to see you”
She almost teared up staring at her naked body and at Dee. She gulped hard and for a minute, she wondered why she was naked and in his arms.
She turned her back on him conscious of her bare body. How foolish! She felt his body near hers,
“Let’s stop this. This is…”
He held her arm and dragged her to look at his face, “Stop this? We…”
“It’s a mistake Dee and we both know it”
He was dumbstruck.
No words could get out of his lips as he watched her gather her clothes forcing them back into her body.
Who called her? He asked himself. He closed his eyes for a moment with every fuvking memory he was about creating with her hurting like hell.
“You used me Dee but…”
He scoffed interrupting her; “What? Use you? Or you used me” he stepped closer.
“Don’t come closer to me looking like that. You need to put on something” she said looking away from him and he realized that he was naked.
He recalled her hands being all over his skin until she pulled it off and dumped it on the floor.
His eyes searched for it and he saw it lying lazily by the foot of his bed.
He moved over and picked up his robe, he wore it and turned to look at her.
This is what he was afraid of, she let him loose when he didn’t want to and she’s walking off like nothing happened!… He was angry, every look she gave him irritated him.
Use her? How dare she say that? She used him! And who the d@mn called her?
“I’m going home?” She said.
He sighed out. “Just like that? A moment ago you said you wanted me and you don’t know why we never had a thing for each other” he pushed forward, “and…you wanted me to lose my mind for you”
He stood infront of her,
“I didn’t mean that, I was frustrated and you know it”
“How am I supposed to know when you kept pleading so desperately…”
“I thought I could have a thing with you but…” She shook her head severally; “We clearly don’t love each other”
“I…”
She didn’t give him a chance to speak;
“Jeff called me”
Oh! He was the one. That useless jerk again!
“So you’re working back into his life just like that?”
“He missed me”
He gritted his teeth hearing her reply. There’s no point arguing with her so he let her go,
“Okay, don’t keep him waiting. ” he said, “Bye, I will see you tomorrow or next” he walked out of the room.
He couldn’t even wait for her to leave. Is he that impatient? She guessed he had been trying to get rid of her all these time. But how could she be so foolish?
Sh|t!
Next morning,
*Just when I think you were gone…I hear our song on a radio*
Beep beep beep
Her alarm sounded and she need not be reminded that it was morning. She had been wide awake after meeting up with Jeff last night, something seemed really off with her.
Dee’s kiss was painted in her head, the way he held her like she was precious… the glint which clouded his eyes when he stripped off her clothes.
She shook her head and jerked off her bed but those thoughts never went away.
Do Dee really like her? Or they were really having fun with each other?
She shook her head one more time walking into the bathroom.
She stood infront of her bathroom mirror and pulled off her pajamas. She glared at her reflection in the mirror.
Did Dee find her this beautiful when he unbuckled her bra freeing her off her B@@bs?
She saw it in his eyes… Like he was struggling to breathe by looking at her bare skin.
Goose pimples. She shook off those thoughts and climbed into her bathtub letting the water touch her skin.
It’s warm… She whispered under her breath half closing her eyes. Her mind relaxed for a bit and then Dee popped in into her head again
Why did he never date her? He’s a jerk and hard to put up with but… It’s weird, they managed to be friends for quite so long.
Did he never have a crush on her? Did he never feel like dating her? She once felt something for him but he never did.
How cruel! She h@tëd the thought of ever having a fling with him yesternight.
Was it a fling? She can’t tell anymore. Her head is so messed up right now.
She sighed and started washing herself.
Few minutes later, she was done and she walked out of her bathroom and stepped into her room. She heard her phone ringing;
She felt a lump clutching around her chest as she viewed the caller ID on her phone screen,
Dee Dee… So it read. She gulped and smacked her lips.
Seeing his name on her phone screen as it kept vibrating and begging to be attended to, it made her recall how hot his lips felt on hers;
“Dee”
“How was your date last night?”
She suddenly felt nervous,
“It went fine”
“You guys made up?”
She felt that lump in her chest tightening, “Yeah we did”
A long pause from the other end that she prayed he could reply quickly.
She wanted to know what he was thinking. She wanted to know if he really liked her.
She wanted to confirm if yesternight was really a mistake but;
“Okay, he better treat you right else I won’t take it lightly with him if he dare make you cry again”
For no reason, she felt the feeling of disappointment clutching in on her, she wasn’t expecting this sort of answer,
“Dee”
“What is it?”
“Where are you?”
“In my office”
Oh. Yeah he should be in his office. After all, today is wednesday.
“And in the evening?”
“Uhm… My girlfriend is coming over to my place”
Ouch! That was close. She bit down hard. She really can’t tell why she feels bad but…
“Dee I don’t know what’s wrong with me but…”
He hung up on her.
