TRISHA
I turned my gaze to my hand which Davis held on his che-st then shifted my gaze to his eyes that were peering into mine.
“you’re having a fever, I’ll just go get cold water”
“That isn’t necessary” Davis said and pu-ll-ed me to the be-d then he la-id p@rtly on me and rested his head on my che-st. My che-st was rising and falling as I breathed heavily.
“Are you nervous?” Davis asked then stared at me
“No”
Yes, am hell nervous
“Why are you breathing fast?” He asked and placed his hand on my che-st to feel my heart beat
“I– I don’t know”
“you’re nervous cause am close to you” Davis said and chuckled then moved his gaze to myl-ips then back to my eyes. I unconsciously bite my lowerl-ip
“I’ll go get the chicken cas-serole” I said as a way to escape but as I was about getting up he pu-ll-ed me back
“I prefer it cold”
“It’s cold alre-ady”
“chicken cas-serole tastes horrible when it’s cold, you’ll have to warm to later” Davis said and I got confused at his choice. He slowly moved down and brou-ght his face down to mine. I cleared my throat and he chuckled
“I never knew you could get nervous at this, I thought you were a strong woman like Chase said” Davis said then brushed hisl-ips on mine.
I shivered and he chuckled again as he repeated the same thing. I bite my lower l!pagain and shut my eyes then he bite my upper l!pand I re-leased the lower one.
“Sir–” Sandra knocked on the door
I heaved a sigh of relief and opened my eyes but Davis was still staring at me, he didn’t even make a move
“What’s it Sandra?”
“your dad called”
That was when he moved from me and walked to the door. I used the sheet to cover myself up to my face. I didn’t want Sandra to see me on his be-d.
What would she think?
Davis opened the door and took the phone from her.
“Hello dad… not really… okay I’ll check”
He walked into his closet and returned shortly
“where were we?” he asked and sat on the be-d
“You have to eat Davis” I said and brou-ght the tray to the be-d. He took the spoon and opened the dish
“smells nice”
He scooped a spoonful of meat into his mouth and chewed slowly at first then smiled
“you didn’t prepare this right?”
“Then who did?”
“It’s delicious” he exclaimed and started scooping the meat into his mouth
“Davis you’re eating only meat”
“shhh!” he hushed and continued with the meat
“what about the vegetables?”
“Table manners” he cautioned and continued eating till the least finished then he dropped the spoon
“really Davis, is that how to eat a cas-serole?”
“It doesn’t matter Trisha” he replied then I shrugged and took the tray to the kitchen.
I thought of what happened in his room and I shuddered. Davis was really action weird and I don’t even know why I couldn’t protest.
I thought of returning to his room but I discarded the idea. He was now okay so there’s no nee-d to go back there and besides he’ll end up ma-king me nervous.
I entered my room and str!pped off my clothes. It was snowy outside so it was really cold inside. I had a h0t bathe then c@m£ out wearing a dressing go-wn. It was too short but I loved it.
Thoughts of Davis filled my br@in and I couldn’t get him out of my head.
I stood at the mirror admiring myself in the short dressing go-wn then I t©uçhed myl-ips and smiled when I remembered how Davis pla-yed with it. I remembered our first k!ssthe night he was drun!k, it was actually my first k!ss. I smiled sheepishly then untied the dressing go-wn when I heard someone cough. I turned to see Davis run out of my room.
Gosh! He was watching me!
I’m so dead.
I ran back into the bathroom and pu-ll-ed off the go-wn then I ran un-der the showed and turned it on.
I’m gonna die in this shower.
I screamed and scattered my hair then I slumped to my knees and cried out.
DAVIS
I couldn’t st©p laughing. Trisha is such a crazy girl to be screaming over such a little thing.
I was waiting for her to return after she left with the tray but she didn’t so I went to check what was keeping her. I went to the kitchen but Sandra told me she was in her room. I knocked thrice but she wasn’t answering the door so I barged in and that was when she was coming out of the bathroom. The dressing go-wn she wore was too short and I got lost watching her and the way she pla-yed with herl-ips till she untied the go-wn.
I swear I didn’t see anything before I coughed and ran out. Now she’s screaming like I R@p£d her of f0rç£d her to untie it…
I continued laughing as she screamed till I drifted to sleep.
I stretched on my be-d and woke up then I remembered the earlier event and I smiled to myself.
I walked pas-sed Trisha’s room and heard sniffing.
She’s still crying!
I knocked on the door and the sniffles ceased but she didn’t answer
“you can’t keep yourself locked up forever because of what happened” I said and she screamed
“calm down Trisha I didn’t even see a thing…”
she let out a loud skrie-k and I covered my ears
EP22
DAVIS
I checked the time and it was 9:43pm. Trisha is a crazy girl. She wasn’t openings the door so I walked to the sitting room and sat down. I had a TV series to watch by 10:00pm. Turning on the TV, I walked to the kitchen to gr-ab a bowl of pop corn then I returned to the sitting room to find Trisha sitting down and facing the TV.
“Thought you were gonna get stuck like ra-punzel” I chuckled then sat down.
Trisha didn’t even look at my direction
“Trisha!”
She didn’t reply
“Let me make this clear Trisha, am not a per-vert”
That was when she looked at me
“I never said that”
“But you think so”
“you’re not in my mind”
“What happened yesterday was because I was drun!k, today I got carried away and I accept I was wrong to sneak on you but I didn’t see that coming”
“I have nothing against you”
A brief silence fell then we focused on the TV as the movie began. I turned my gaze from the TV to Trisha. I’ve spent all these time bullying her that I didn’t realize how pretty she is. It was all her fault, the woman I called my mum. She made me lose trust on people, she made me believe everyone just walked on and leaves. Dad made it worse by been a drug dealer and a murderer. I never felt so happy like I felt today and this beautiful angel is the secret behind it.
“St©p staring at me Davis, it feels awkward” Trisha said zoning me out of my thoughts
“Does it feel awkward or uncomfortable?” I asked with a lopsided sm-irk. I suddenly enjoy teasing her
“uncomfortable?” she scoffed
“Why should I feel uncomfortable because of your stare? Guys like Justin Bieber has to stare at me to make me uncomfortable and not an abomination of a person like you”
Gosh! I felt insulted
Justin was handsome but not like me of course.
I suddenly started laughing
“What’s so funny?”
“Guys like Justin Bieber can’t notice a pumpkin face and ameoba b©dy like you. He can only notice a girl with the face of Ariana Grande and b©dy like Nicki Minaj, you’re a seventeenth edition Trisha”
Trisha g@sped but didn’t say anything. I guess she was speechless
“Truths makes speechless you didn’t expect Justin Bieber to get attra-cted to you flat che-st” I suddenly regretted that last statement when her hands went to her che-st.
Who am I kidding?
Trisha got a b©dy to kill for but I can’t make it known that I admire her
“Am way better cause guys like you can’t tell the difference”
“what difference?”
“Continue with your movie” She stated and walked out.
I just enjoy teasing her and getting her pissed off.
THE NEXT DAY
¤STAR HIGH¤
The school was buzzing with students as everyone talked about the last audition that just ended.
Trisha was swear!
She is a great dancer, so flexible.
The results were gonna be announced tomorrow. I knew I was gonna be the male lead role but for the female, Daphne got a challenge.
I walked to the restroom but st©pped when I heard voices coming from the ladies. The voice of a male and a female, they were arguing.
What’s a male doing in the ladies?
I listened with ra-pt attention and recognized the female voice as Trisha’s and the male….
Next thing that followed were gr-unts and fists punching. I ran to the door and it flung open by itself as Jack flew out and hit himself on the wall. I was shocked at the way he was bleeding while Trisha glared at him unt©uçhed.
“$h!t! You’re gonna pay for this Trisha” Jack cussed and ran out
“Are you okay Trisha?”
“Am fine”
“What just happened? You never told me you had karate skills”
“That guy tried forcing himself on me, am not done with him yet” Trisha fused and tried rushing after Jack but I st©pped her
“He just got carried away by your dance I guess” I chuckled
“serious Davis, am not re-ady for your games”
“Fine but just let him pas-s”
“You’re a strong woman I guess Chase was right, I learnt from Jack” I said to myself but she heard it
“I plan on teaching you your own lessons”
“Seriously? You had the opportunity to do so trice why didn’t you?”
She paused for a while and stared at me.
But seriously, why didn’t she fight me? Am supposed to be at the hospital.
“Am having a bad feeling” Trisha said and I smiled
“Yeah, I know you have feelings for me”
“Not that silly” she hit me on my che-st
“Ouch! That hurts”
A student ran pas-sed us and shoved an envelope into Trisha’s palm then ran out. We didn’t see him clearly cause he wore a big cap.
“What’s that?” I asked taking the envelope
“We found it” a security man yelled pointing at us
“Found what?” I asked in confusion then the teachers walked in with securities and students started to troop in
“You stole the key” A teacher said in bewilderment
“What? It’s a set up”
“Hand it over” The vice principal Mrs Smith ordered and I gave the envelope to her
“How could you? Starshine depends on this key. How did you get the key?” Mrs Smith seethed
“There’s a misun-derstanding her we didn’t….”
“In my office now!” Mrs Smith hurled
“It’s a set up”
