Chapter 3 - When you wish you hadn't said that

I opened my eyes. For a minute, everything was blurry .

I waited for my vision to be clear . I saw Dairon .

"You okay?", he asked and helped me to sit up.

I sat up and coughed. He rubbed my back.

"God , I told you not to go too far , didn't I ?", he said.

I nodded.

"You got me worried", he said and then added ,"Let's get you home".

"Do you like Dairon?", a voice inside my head said.

"No!", I said .

Dairon looked at me and said with a confused expression, "What?"

I looked up at him.

"Nothing", I said and shook my head forcefully.

I got in Dairon's car which was parked outside the beach .

He sat in the car and looked at me and said worriedly , "You sure you okay?"

"Yeah", I said.

"His voice is so manly ", the voice said again.

"Can you just stop?", I said to my voice and I guess Dairon heard that.

"Stop what? Car? ", he asked.

"No , nothing , keep going on", he said.

He looked at me with a confused expression.

Good, that he didn't say anything.

"You busy tonight?", he asked.

"Uh , yeah , sort of . Got to complete the homeworks . ", I said ignoring the voice inside my head.

"Come on , Ced . I just came back from holidays yesterday and you got the whole vacation to do your homework . Don't you want to hang out with your friends?", he said.

"Yeah, I want too .....

"Then you are coming tonight to Alesha's home ", he said.

"Sexy Dairon ", the voice inside my head said.

"Shut up !", I stammered.

Dairon looked at me and said , "Sorry".

"Hey, hey not you I was talking to someone else . Don't say sorry", I said.

He looked at the backseat and said, "There is no one other than you and me in this car . Were you talking to someone over your phone?"

"Uh , no" I said.

"Is there a ghost in this car?", he asked , looking back at the seats.

"Stop scaring me", I said.

I rubbed my ears and the voice stopped saying things like that.

"What's wrong?", Dairon asked

"Nothing. Water inside my ears", I replied.

We maintained an awkward silence for some time and then he interrupted.

"So will you come to Alesha's home?"he asked, his eyes fixed on the road.

"Let's see ", I replied.

"Okay ,if you want to be there tonight, just let me know. I will pick you up ", he said and stopped the car before my home.

"Thanks, DJ", I said.

(I called Dairon DJ . That's something between me and Dairon . Similarly, he called me Ced ).

"Don't mention it , Ced", he said and smiled and I got out of the car.
