EPISODE 27
<>
Dressed in a metallic frabic which was a multicoloured crop t©p and a matching mini short I walked into my room to see Samuel and Kingsley sitting patiently on my be-d.
Noticing my pres£nce they both turned to me.
“Always striking with the beauty” Kingsley scoffed.
I shrugged and watched as Samuel’s eyes stare at my b©dy adhesively.
I raised my eyebrows at him and he just smiled and look away.
I sat on the edge of my be-d and sli-pped my feet inside my three Inches boots and stood up, my height being three inches taller but still nowhere near the boys.
“Okay, I’m all re-ady…” I said slowly, throwing my phone into my purse and hanging the purse over my shoulder.
“Okay then let’s hit the road.” Kingsley stated.
“Hit the road? It’s not like the p@rty venue is far from here” Samuel stated.
“Kingsley takes things too seriously!” I shook my head ma-king Kingsley roll his eyes.
We all walked out of my room and I closed the door behind us and locked it, throwing the keys in my purse.
As the three of us walked to the p@rty, with Kingsley in front of Samuel and I. I linked my arm with Samuel’s arm and he smiled down at my me.
“You didn’t give me a compliment” I said to him.
He looked down at me. “A compliment?” Samuel’s eyes wi-den. “For what?”.
“You know, the kinds the b©yfri£nds gives to the girlfriend when she wears something pretty, even though it’s not sometimes pretty” I shrugged and Samuel laughed…
“Well then, to be honest, I don’t think you nee-d a compliment, cause you’re alre-ady being complimented by nature itself” Samuel stated and I held my laugh while Kingsley paused and turned back to look at us.
“You both, are the most cringest couple I have ever met! If you don’t st©p with your stupid lovers talk, I’m going to puke” Kingsley stated and I laughed.
“Get out of here.” I smiled.
_
We got to the p@rty and the ear blasting music could be heard from outside the house and I could feel my b©dy getting energetic.
“I’m feeling sick alre-ady!” Samuel shook his head.
“Aw, st©p being a big baby! This is going to be one of the most memorable p@rty ever, cause it’s probably the last, since the exam storm will take over, so enjoy it while you still can.” kinglsey said, win-ked at us and walked away excitedly before we could breathe out.
I glanced at Samuel and he looked like he should just pas-s out.
I nudged him and beckoned him to start walking.
We both walk into the house and the ear blasting music made me smile. The happy noises from the people dancing, flir-ting and some pla-ying a game of chvgging alcohol made the whole scene perfect for a university final semester last p@rty.
A girl suddenly walked up to us, her che-st loaded, ma-king her dress reveal more than cleavage. Samuel’s eyed darted to her che-st in surprise but he looked away immediately. Well I don’t blame him, it’s like the most visible thing on her b©dy. It’s intimid@t!ng… For me, people like me. It’s not like I have so much going on up here.
Whatever.
“Samuel.” she called, she looked drun!k.
Samuel looked at her.
“Oh you’re here” she added placing her hand on Samuel’s che-st.
I stepped in front of Samuel and gave her a dirty look.
“And you are?” she rolled her eyes at me.
“None of your business, now get away from my b©yfri£nd.” I hissed.
“Wait… You’re the bridget every freshman’s talking about, your not even that pretty, just the same as all of us.” she sm-irked.
“yes now goodbye.” I stated.
“ru-bbish” she snarled and walked away. Some girls be rude as ever.
I turned to Samuel.
“Do you know her?” I asked.
“I don’t” Samuel shook his head.
What a popular nerd.
“Come on” I said and gr@bb£d him by his hand and pu-lling him to the room where the drink were kept, I mean I saw people going in and coming out of the room with drinks.
So I as-sumed it was where the drinks were sto-red.
We walked into the quiet room to see it wasn’t where drinks were sto-red, it was just an empty room with a pool table and a water dispenser at the other side of the room.
“Wrong room, come on, let’s check the other rooms” I said about to leave, but Samuel pu-ll-ed me back.
“It’s more quiet here, let’s stay here plea-se, just for a few minutes” his pleading eyes made me give in and I sighed.
“Fine.” I shrugged and walked back to him.
“You’re such an introvert” I mumbled as I rested my lower back on the pool table.
I was tired of standing and wanted to sit, but the pool table was higher than ever. I pressed my hands on the brim of the table and tried to lift my self up and sit on the edge but I couldn’t.
Samuel saw my struggle and walked in front of me. He slowly placed his firm hands around my w@!st and lift me up, I sat on the table and laughed, my hands on his shoulder.
“Now this is embarras-sing, it just insulted the short side I don’t have” I said.
“Weird, It felt like I was lifting a toy.” Samuel said and I sh0t him a pla-yful glare.
We both stared at each other quietly and I smiled. “remember when you couldn’t look me in the eyes?” I laughing and he sighed recalling it.
“Don’t remind me” he shook his head. “But not anymore though.” he added and walked closer to me.
“Really?” I smiled…
“Yep” he replied and slowly c@m£ in to k!ssme.
I reciprocated and my heart pace up, immediately, my b©dy starts to ignite and it felt like dynamites were exploding inside my b©dy.
As the k!sswent on, we were both losing our breaths and sinking in our g@sps. Samuel walked in between my keys and My hands ti-ght£ñed around his n£¢k and my legs pu-ll-ed him in and locked behind his back.
Samuel’s hand moved around my b©dy and suddenly his hand t©uçhed one of my bo-ob .
He suddenly walked out of the k!ssin shock.
“I’m so sorry” he suddenly said. “I’m very sorry” he apologized again.
I tilt my head at him rolling my eyes.
“What are you apologizing for?” I sighed. He just broke off a perfectly good k!sslike that.
I sighed again.
“I accidentally… I accidentally… I didn’t mean to.” He rushed his words, stuttering at the same time.
“Seriously?” I scoffed. “It’s not like there’s so much going up there, that you t©uçhed.” I barked.
I’m almost… Almost flat che-sted. Well I’m not technically flat, but at The same time I’m not close to the ‘b’ in bu-sty.
“still… I didn’t mean to” Samuel still looked guilty.
“Sam… It’s fine… It’s perfectly fine!” I breathed out shutting my eyes and then opening it again.
“Fun fact, I don’t care if you decide to gr-ab ‘them’ anytime soon” I raised my brows at him and watched his expression and he looked like he’ll be bur-sting or puking any time soon.
“Just get over here.” I said and pu-ll-ed him by his collar, pinning myl-ips onto his.
:
Samuel and I remained quiet and watched as we both stare at the water dispenser in front of our eyes, we were both out of breaths, just for a k!ssand I craved for something to drink.
I jumped down from the pool table and turned to Samuel.
“I’ll be getting some drink.” I stated.
“Alcoholic or non?” Samuel asked cautiously.
“Anyone that sli-ps into my hands first” I win-ked.
Samuel sighed.
“Just wait here, I’ll be back soon” I stated.
“Okay cone back soon” Samuel stated and I nodded.
I walked out of the room and suddenly the far sounding music become loud and it excited my b©dy as I asked a girl where the drinks were kept.
She showed me the room by pointing and I found myself in there gr-abbing two bottles of soft drink. I couldn’t take any alcoholic beverage, Samuel is being s-en-sitive about what he takes and I should respect that.
I was almost out of the door with the two plastic bottles in my hand when someone walked in front of me..
Cynthia.
“What Do you want?” I asked.
“What do I want?” she scoffed. I didn’t know if it was the lightening in the room or her eyes were red at that moment, she ti-ght£ñed her hand around the bottle she held and scrunched her nose.
“I want you to get your filthyl-ips away from Samuel.” she replied.
“You’re still not over him? And I thought you weren’t talking to me, what’s with the sudden change.?” I scoffed over the music.
“You just ruin lives, how you c@m£ in between Samuel and I and ruined our relationsh!p” Cynthia yelled.
“look you guys were just best friends or close friends, I didn’t ruin anything, I didn’t steal him to make him my best friend, he’s my b©yfri£ndbecause we both like each other, and you can still be friends with him, you said yourself that you didn’t have any feelings for him, so what’s with the bicker?” I rolled my eyes.
“Well I do have feelings for him.!” she yelled, tears brewing in her eyes.
“Well it’s too late for that now let’s st©p with all this bickering it’s childish” I seethe.
“It’s never too late to try anything and if it weren’t for me you wouldn’t have met Samuel!” she yelled.
I sighed and stood straight.
“Well you have a point there. But I met him, I’m grateful, and thank you! If that’s what you nee-d to hear.” I stated.
“You don’t get it!” she yelled spilling out tears from her eyes.
“I don’t get what?? You like Samuel but he’s my b©yfri£ndand I met him because of you and that makes you really mad seeing how you’ve left an opportunity sl!pby, is that what I don’t get? Cynthia even if you had an opportunity, it would never work out cause he doesn’t feel the same way” I stated as a matter of fact.
“It might have worked out you don’t know, you just c@m£ and ruined everything” she snarled.
I paused. “Are you drun!k?” I asked.
She definitely is.
“I’m not” she furrowed her brows
“you are”
“Shut up” she yelled.
“Well no nee-d, cause I’m leaving, excuse me” I said walking past her “Samuel’s probably waiting for me” I mumbled.
As I took three step forward I saw Samuel walking out of the room who both where before and I smiled.
How is he so impatient. He saw me from where he stood and gave a smile as he walked up to me.
As I started to walk up to him, I felt something slam against my head ma-king me go deaf for a second.
I saw Samuel pause in shock and I froze too when I felt a sharp pain on my head. The music st©pped pla-ying and everyone’s eyes were on me.
I felt something liquid dropping from my head and when it t©uçhed my hand, I found out it was just water, and then something red stained my skin…
Is that blood.?
I felt everything go blank in a second and a thudding sound.
