My alarm rings at six o'clock to wake me up from the deep slumber I was in. It is time to face the world again I guess. I get out of my bed and go into my wardrobe to get my towel and toiletries and leave the room for the bathroom.
I go over to the bathtub and open up water to fill it and brush my teeth by the bathroom sink. When the water has been filled, the room is a little bit steamy, I get in and soak my body it feels so good. I don't know why my muscles hurt so much but this right here is heaven.
After I'm done bathing I wrap my body with the fluffy towel Zoé bought me as a 'house warming present'. I get out of the bathroom and bump into Khalil. Who is in nothing but his boxers only and looks really cute after he just woke up but is very grumpy.
"Watch where you going, Rina!"
"Good morning to you too Khalil," I say with a smile and leave him, I am not going to let him ruin my day by his negativity. No Sir!
"What's so good about your face being the first thing I see when I wake up." He mumbles and that makes me laugh because that was a good one. I get into my room and lock the door because you can never be too sure about men and how doors 'mysteriously open'.
I take out my blue denim jumpsuit and a black sweatshirt to wear underneath it. I choose my happy socks and a white Fila shoe to complete the look. Today is going to be a good day and also a not so good day because it is Ian's farewell party, he is leaving for New York to work for some company that does art.
I am going to miss him so much, life won't be the same with just me and Zoé because everyone knows she'll never play the referee when Khalil and I get into it. Its sort of a routine now.
I go to the kitchen to eat some cereal, something about chocolate cereal and me. I take out a bowl and fill it and pour the milk in it. I take a seat on the stools by the kitchen island and eat whilst looking at peoples stories on Instagram.
Khalil comes in wearing torn black jeans and a white shirt with a white Nike shoe. The dude looks good, but I won't give him the satisfaction of looking at him twice, we'll never hear the end of it. He grabs an apple and a bottle of water and leaves.
Now I know why he is always so moody. As he leaves I get a smell of nature and masculinity, he smells really good too. What is it he doesn't have?
Well, he doesn't have respect and he is uptight and walks like he's got a stick up his ass. My conscience answers which makes me laugh.
When I get to school I meet up with Zoé and she can't stop gushing about this new girl she's flirting with. This new girl seems better for her honestly and she's beautiful and calm, a down to earth person but I still got to meet her.
We walk together to class and separate to go to our different seats, we both have our different partners and mine just happens to be the devil.
Something feels out of place today. Like there's an energy that I didn't feel. It isn't Khalils because I felt that before I saw him. Ian. I didn't see him yet which is weird cause I always see him in the morning. Oh well, I guess I'll see him after class, he is probably busy finalizing his stuff.
"What are you thinking about little fox?" little fox?? And he poked me!
I look at Khalil as if he's mad "Little fox?"
"Yeah little fox, you've got on your thinking face which is when you fold your mouth into a scowl and squint your eyes and wiggle your nose. So what are you thinking about?"
I stare at him with my mouth wide open and he moves his hand and pushes my jaw up to close my mouth, I come out of my trance of wondering how observant he is. "Oh sorry. It's nothing."
"You sure? Cause you looked like you were about to lose it."
"Yeah...I mean no but I'm fine thanks for asking."
"Okay Foxie, let's finish this project and get great marks yeah?"
"Yeah," I reply, now it's Foxie. Didn't know he was a pet name type of person.
We manage to finish the project and take pictures of it before the farewell which gives us enough time to freshen up before we head out. I use the bathroom before him and I wear a loose-fitting black shirt which slides off the shoulder and I match it with white khakis and comfortable flat shoes.
Khalil is wearing the same clothes just with a different shirt and a jacket. We walk together to Ian's apartment and we talk about how to complete the final touches and everything. When we get to the apartment he says something that bothers me the whole time.
"You really deserve better Foxie." with that he leaves and goes to his own people while I find Zoé.
"Hey, Zo." I greet with a huge smile as if I haven't seen her forever while it's only been a few hours.
"Rina! I want you to meet someone." she drags me through a group of people. "Ri' this is Thuso, Thuso this is Rina!" she introduces us. Thuso is gorgeous. Her hair is my favourite, I wish my hair could be that big and natural.
"Hey, Rina, it is so great to see you I've heard a lot already," Thuso says.
"Well, I can only hope its good things!"
"You know I would never speak such of you Rina. I only spoke of all the embarrassing things you've done." Zoé says with a smirk and we all laugh and sit together on the couch. We had so much fun when I realize I haven't seen Ian the whole day and this is his farewell party right, so where the hell is he?
"Zo, have you seen Ian?"
"Uhm, you see about that..." she seems hesitant to talk about it.
"What is it?" After I asked that question asked the man of the hour comes up to the room and picks me up while he sits in my spot and puts me on his lap. He kisses my temples and says he missed me and he couldn't wait to see me.
"So how come I didn't see you the whole day?"
"I was busy finalizing my stuff baby. I missed you." He pecks my lips and I pout.
Zoé huffs and rolls her eyes at him and he just stares at her. There's some tension between them and its huge nobody could ignore it. I wonder what's all that about.
