Saturday: 3 October
After I hanged up a call last night I slept pretty amazingly since all I had to think of was that I'm seeing him tomorrow. Well, weekends are ours. He could have been here last night to see me, but it all got screwed up over the fact that he had no fuel.
It's my day off today, and tomorrow it's also my Sunday off.
"You're awake", Mum yells right outside my bedroom door. She wakes me up every morning, doesn't matter if I'm working or not.
"Yeah", I mumble, my voice still filled with sleep. "I'm awake",
I hear her footsteps walking away so I get up from bed, and go to the bathroom to freshen up. After I walk into the main house.
"Morning", as I walk into the kitchen, Dad greets.
"Wanna come with us to run a few errands?", Mum asks as she stands by the kettle making herself some coffee.
"Em, yeah", I shrug my shoulders. "Why not?",
"Go get ready then, and please dress like the young lady you are", Mum says.
"Mum", I growl. "Stop please",
"But you usually dress like a teenager", she replies and I just roll my eyes.
I don't like to dress formal, but I have my days of dressing up formally.
...
19:35 PM, he calls. "Hey", he says right after I pick up.
"Hi", I replies with a smile, I'm pretty sure he can hear me blushing from the tone of my voice.
"You okay?", he asks, turning my face even more red than it already is.
"Yeah, I'm okay",
"Please come out, I'm outside your gate", he says. I jump from the bed rushing to my room to change the shorts I have on. I don't like wearing too short outfits when I'm out, but I do wear short outfits when I'm indoors with him.
"I'll be right out",
Now that I feel like I look okay, I walk out with excitement displayed all over my face. He's parked on the side of the road by my house.
He grabs me by my hand, pulling me closer to him then place a soft kiss on my lips.
As he pulls away, he says, "Babe, may I ask you for a favor",
I'm starting to sense that there's something wrong. His facial expression says theres something happening. "Depends on what it is", I reply.
"My friends are on the other street", he gestures with his hand towards the direction they're at. "Left them there to buy a packet of chips since they're hungry", he says. "Plus we still have to work, you know, get some packets of icecubes sold out then later-",
He didn't even have to finish what he's saying. I just know where this conversation is headed.
"So you're here for 2 minutes?", I ask, my smile quickly turning into a frown.
"Yes, but I'll be back to come pick you up", he quickly adds.
I straighten myself on the passenger seat and turn making my whole body to face him. "Let me get things straight, you're here to let me know that you can't take me to your night job since I'm not a guy or since I won't be able to work as you do? I'm probably a distraction right? And you'll come back at midnight only to fuck me and fall asleep, right?",
And flip, what I just said is unnecessary and it makes me look dramatic.
"Babe, you know it's nothing like that", he's got a sad face on.
His phone rings and he quickly answers it, "I'm coming", then hangs up then his attention is back at me. "Thing is, I don't wanna run around selling ice while I'm with you",
His phone rings again.
"Yeah?", I can see that he's getting frustrated. "Dude, I'm coming, I'm on my way", he says. "I know", his eyes are on me and I'm just staring back at him.
After he hangs up the call, I open the door and quickly get out of his car.
"You know what?", I say with my head popped in the window. "Go do what you need to do, who the hell am I to stop you? I'm not here to block your success or stand in the way of it", I'm calm even though my disappointment is displayed all over my face. "Go do your thing", I say with a forced smile.
He frowns, his eyes falling down to his hands on his lap. "Babe, you know its nothing like that", he's sad. His voice just gives it all away. "I just think it'll be quicker that way and I'll get to be with you all night",
His phone rings, again.
"Go. Your friends are waiting", without his reply, I turn and start walking back to the house.
"Babe? Don't be like that", he calls out but I ignore him, as I disappear heading in the house.
I hear the engine of his car and I listen as it fades away. In a few minutes he calls,
"Yeah?",
"I'll be back by 11PM okay?", he says.
I roll my eyes. "I'm not going anywhere with you at that hour",
"Okay, how about 10:30 PM?",
I feel like it's the same hours as 11 but what the hell? I wanna see him anyway so I agree.
By 10PM I'm on bed with a crop top on and in my panties. As I browse through my WhatsApp Nolan calls. Its been a while since we've talked. Our shifts actually don't match anymore so when I'm working his off, and when he's working I'm off.
"Hey", I pick up.
"How are you?", his voice is low as always, I don't know why he likes to whisper when he's talking to me. I guess it's a strategy of charming his way to me.
"I'm alright, and how are you?",
We talk for some time, catching up on a few things. At 10:30 PM, like Travis said, he calls.
"Nolan? Would you please hang up I'll call you back. My dad is calling and I wanna hear what he wants",
I don't know why I can't tell Nolan that I'm seeing someone. Maybe its cause I've lied to him when he confessed his love to me.
"Alright", he says then hangs up.
As I reply Travis's call, it cuts. I don't know what happened. It think of calling him back but then my phone vibrates with a WhatsApp notification.
I'm outside-; he says.
I get up from bed and dress up appropriately. I don't even rush.
I drag my feet out and to find him waiting with his friend Sarki.
"What's up?", I greet the friend. I'm comfortable around the him now. I can easily chat about anything with him.
...
Travis drives to a pub nearby, which we usually hangout at. The place is packed as always.
"I'm heading back in to sell more ice, will you be okay here?", Travis asks.
"Alone? Here?", I look around to see people moving up and down, some dancing by their cars, some in groups chating and laughing, some too drunk to even stand on their own.
"I'm here", Sarki says. "He's going in to sell his half and when he comes back I'm heading in with my half",
I stare at Travis for a while, "I'll be back in no time", he says with a smile.
I thought they were gonna be done selling ice by now, but anyway.
In a few minutes the back door opens. "Dude, I need more ice bags", I turn to see Travis's other friend, Sam. He's the tall skinny one, light complexion just like Travis.
"Check the boot", Sarki replies.
Travis later comes back to get more ice then goes back in.
They actually don't take long to finish their job, they don't even take turns in sitting with me but doesn't really matter, Sarki is cool to hang around.
By midnight Sam and Travis are back and we now chilling and having drinks, though they're the ones drinking, not me. Travis has the car parked on the same spot as the last time we were here.
"Should I get you a bottle of water and doritos?", Travis asks.
"Doritos please", I'm not in any mood for water.
2 AM
"There's a girl in there that I want, let's go see if she's there", Sarki says looking both me and Travis.
I'm a chicken, I hate crowded places like these ones. Especially tarvens.
"No man I can't go in there", I shake my head.
"I'll be with you all the time, we'll be back", Travis grabs my hand and I let him drag me in there.
Its packed. We literally have to push our way in. As we get closer the music gets louder. I'm getting uncomfortable.
By the entrance of the tarven, people are sitting around with cooler boxes close by.
"Let's ask him", Sarki points at some guy who's so drunk to even remember his name.
"Him?", Travis asks and Sarki nods. Where their pointed is messy and too crowded for my liking. I have my hands hooked on Travis arm. Just as he moves I pull him back.
"Hey", he whispers, his lips on my ear. "It'll be fine, I'm here", I'm totally uncomfortable by now. I'm headed to a point of freaking out. Sarki is still with us.
He pulls me to where the guy is.
"Mac, my boy", Sarki greets the guy. "Look, have you seen Delly?",
"Dude", the guy replies very slowly. "Delly", he looks around, his eyes closing up. "Wait here I'll go check her",
"No", Sarki pulls his hand. "You can't leave your cooler box here",
"Don't worry man, no one will touch it", he says.
Some guy on our far left starts hitting a white avanza right on the hood. He's yelling at the driver.
Travis and Sarki turn their attention to them. "I know the driver", Travis says.
"Yeah me too", Sarki replies. "It's Bonga's little brother",
The guy hitting the car's hood is now by the driver's window, still yelling.
"Is he taking his car keys?", Sarki asks. I feel Travis's arm slipping out of my hands and I grab it even tighter.
"I just wanna go see what's happening", Travis says and I shake my head.
"Babe I know the guy, I won't fight I just wanna go make sure that idiot haven't took his car keys",
"No, next thing you'll be fighting over there",
My mind has the worst scenario right now. What if he gets sturbed over there.
"No I won't",
The crazy guy starts breaking some bottles infront of the avanza and hits the avanza with his hands.
"Sarki, watch her I'll be back", Travis grabs both my hands and hands me over to Sarki.
"Hell no", I shake my head and grab Travis's hand quickly.
"I'll be back", he tries to convince me but I keep shaking my head.
"Dude I'll go see", Sarki says and Travis nods. He walks over there as I stand behind Travis arm. Travis is focused over there.
He gets to the scene and talks to the driver. After a few minutes he comes back and tells us nothing bad happened. The crazy guy didn't take Bonga's little brother's car keys.
As we head back to our spot, Bonga's brother drives through the broken bottles and his left front wheel bursts.
"Oh crap", Sarki gasps.
"Damn, now it'll be hard for him to get home", Travis says.
"He'll figure it out. Doesn't look that bad though", Sarki replies.
"Yeah let's go",
We walk out of that place, back to our spot.
"I have work", Travis says as he opens his car's passager door for me.
"Yeah, let's go", Sarki replies. Sam is no where around anymore. I think he's with his friends or has already gone home.
As we drive off Bonga's brother is around the corner with his flat tire. It looks really bad.
Travis stops him and Sarki gets out of the car to help the brother. He manages to talk him into letting his car sleep at Sarki's place since its nearby. Cause if he drives in that flat tire he'll damage the rim. When we get to Sarki's place the brother parks the car and agrees to come check it in the morning. Travis let's him in the back seat and we drive him home.
After, we drive to Travis place.
6 AM
I wake up to my sister's call. Apparently my mum has found out that I ain't home.
"Hey, wake up", I push Travis to wake him up.
"Mmmmh", he murmurs.
"Take me home, I'm in trouble", I say then sit up, waiting for him to get up.
He grabs my waist and pulls me to him, then starts kissing my neck.
"I have to go home", I whisper but he ignore me, as he pulls off my crop top.
His kisses move from my neck to my breasts, sucking them till I actually give into what he's doing.
He sleeps naked so it doesn't take long for him to start fucking me.
...
After the passionate fuck he finally drives me home.
I find mum in the kitchen with a cup of coffee in her hand.
Luckily she wasn't that upset with me. All I needed to do was let her know that I wasn't gonna spend the night home. She only got worried when she found my room empty.
