It's half eight in the night and Karabo just went to bed, I guess his hangover is really high. No pun intended. Right now I'm sitting in my room scrolling through Instagram really bored and not tired at all.
Sleep finally calls me to its land and as I'm about to go I hear the kitchen light being lit, it's probably Karabo who woke up hungry. Nothing new there. I hear a crash of plates and cussing in a native language.
"What the fuck! Why the hell are these plates put right here so close to the door. Mara u khou itan K!" The voice hissed, and I immediately recognise it. What is she doing back here so early, she didn't even spend a whole week at home?
I get out of my bedroom barefoot and shirtless with my sweats on. When I get in the kitchen, her backs facing me whilst she's locking the door. I go to stand right behind her and lean down next to her ear.
"What you doing back here so quickly Foxie?" I whispered in a husky tone. She jumped frightened making me chuckle as I take a step back. She has her hand over her heart.
"Thoho yanu!" She yelled.
"I don't understand you, sweetheart. But I'm going to take it as a compliment." I winked at her and she scowled.
"Why the hell are you behind me you creep!?"
"Why are you sneaking in?" I crossed my arms over my chest and she dropped her back copying my actions.
"I'm not sneaking in, I was entering quietly cause I thought you were sleeping." She shrugged her shoulders.
"Actually, I was until you dropped that." I pointed towards the plates that were on the floor and she frowned looking at them.
"Well, why did you put it in the way then?"
"Wasn't me." I shrugged
"Yeah right, move!" She pushed me out of the way going to her room. She slammed the door and shuffled some things around, I hope she doesn't wake Bo up. She comes out wearing her shirt, she goes straight for the alcohol cabinet and takes out the bottle of Vodka. She takes two glasses and rinses them, sits on the chair by the island and opens the bottle cap.
She poured the drink into the glasses and pushed one into my direction, as she chugs down her drink and refills her glass repeating the process. She looks over at me and raises her eyebrow.
"Aren't you gonna drink that?" She points to the glass with her head. Well, who took a dump on her head?
I take the glass and drink. She refills my glass and hers too. This time she takes slow sips.
"K tell me, why do guys act the way they do?" she looked at me as if I had the answer to her question.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean let's say hypothetically you date a girl for over 2 years right and she finally gives you her virginity-and virginity is not a big thing to many people but it is to her and you'd say it's not a big deal because it was only one time but do you realize that she's been waiting her whole life for that one time? Then you go right ahead and sleep with her worst enemy, mind you, her worst enemy used to be her best friend, a total cliché story... and you say you want to explain why you slept with her. How can you explain you cheated!? Is that even possible?" She explained swirling the alcohol around her cup.
"What happened back home Foxie?"
"Lol, what makes you think something happened. Nothing happened. It was all good and fun. It was a hypothetical story." She slurred and shrugged a shoulder. "Just peachy."
"Something happened, and it has to do with your 'hypothetical story' so tell me." I pressed and she shrugged still not saying anything.
"I fucking hate my life K..." She said with tears in her eyes..."I hate how I act strong but I'm weak! So weak. And everyone leaves me, all of them."
"What, no you're not, you're one of the strongest people I've met." Fuck I'm bad at this, how do you do this? Do you encourage the person or what?
"Yeah right. You've hated me ever since we met. So you should be happy to see me have an emotional breakdown." She chuckled but was still crying.
"No. I mean I was cocky when we first met but I don't hate you. I actually like you." Did I say I like her? Yeah, you did, you just admitted you like her. But who knows maybe she won't take it that way...let's have some hope.
"Yeah right. You're really bad at making someone feel better you know." She smiled at me shaking her head.
"Do you want to talk about it, I mean what happened at home?"
She sighed then looked at me "I obviously was at home and there was a family gathering, I was bored out of my mind and deeply annoyed by the criticism I get from the family, but I'm used to it so it doesn't matter. I texted my girls and asked them to come over and only two said they'd come through. While I was waiting my ex came up to me and said he wanted to explain what happened. Which doesn't make sense to me cause you can't explain how you cheated and why it's quite obvious you know. I guess all those emotions were way too much for me to deal with because I ran away, just like the first time after he told me I don't give him my attention that's why he cheated, I ran away...I'm such a shitty person like my dad. But it doesn't make sense to me at all, the first time he 'tried' to explain he said that I don't give him attention, what was he going to say this time. What different explanation was he going to give me?" That was the first time she mentioned her dad, I wonder what happened between them.
"Well you could wonder what he was going to say forever, or just tell him how he made you feel and to fuck off."
"I could never, I can't even look at him. I'm used to standing up for myself but to him, I just can't. I'm a coward aren't I." It wasn't a question, more of a statement but I still felt like I had to make her feel better in some way.
"No Rina, you're not a coward. You're just an explorer." I cringed at what I said, couldn't I have said something better? Well, no you're a dud head who knows nothing about emotions.
"Explorer?" She burst out laughing.
"Yes. You move on to better places when you feel like it's time for a new horizon to see. You wouldn't want to stay in a place for way too long, you'd want to experience something new whenever you tired with the old." I explained and nodded at how smart that sounded, not bad Khalil not bad...
"Huh, makes sense. Want to watch Lucy?"
"What's Lucy?" I asked her and she shook her head at the little knowledge I had.
"A movie, come on we'll watch it in your room." She got up and walked to my room, she climbed on to my bed and underneath my sheets, opened my laptop and typed in my password, how does she know it?
"How do you know my password?" I asked her.
"It's quite easy to know, you're a narcissistic person you know. Using your surname and celebrity crushes name as your password. Stupid." She laughed, and I just looked at her. That's not even anywhere close to my password. What on earth is she talking about?
"I'm playing, I saw you type it in this other day and it kind of stuck, come on. It's about to start." I closed my door and switched off the lights climbing in next to her. She put her head on my chest, we talked throughout the movie. I don't think I even saw anything or even understand anything about that movie.
"It's the first time I've seen you drink you know," I said looking at her.
"Yeah, alcohol tastes much better when you hurt..." She shrugged one shoulder..."not the best distraction though."
Now she was no longer on my chest, we were facing each other. I don't know but I suddenly had the urge to kiss her, her lips looked so inviting. I move in and tilt her head up with my finger on her chin.
"What are you doing?" She whispered looking at me wide-eyed.
"Distracting you." And I kiss her, it's slow and savouring. I lick her bottom lip asking for entrance and she opens her mouth, I sweep in my tongue. Our tongues wrestle for dominance and of course, I win. We kiss some more and my hand begins to wander downwards. From her chin it moves to the back of her neck, it continues downwards to her waist where it remains for a few seconds. I move it down and grab her ass pulling her closer to me, oh how I wish I could do more but I already took advantage so I do something I never thought I'd do in this situation...I pulled away.
"How's that for distraction?" I asked her and her eyes darted around.
She gulped licking her lips. She looked at me and smiled shyly.
"Great."
"Now go to sleep." I kiss her forehead with my hand still on her ass, it feels quite comfortable there.
"Okay." She whispered and laid her head on my chest, she pecked it swinging her hand over my hips.
What a cute feisty fox.
