ARIYA...
"She didn't even say good bye, she just fucking left" he screams and hold his head. Not again.
"Ahhhhhh" he screams more and I get down from my chair and try to hold him. He lift up his head in my direction.
"Ethan!..... your eyes" I notice his eyes changed blue or did cider get me drunk too ?I look Away for awhile to grab a few seconds to make sure I'm fine and when I look back, I can only see his perfect beautiful but now sorrowful dark grey eyes. I must have been imagining it. I check my watch and the time is 1:10AM already. Before the bottle gets to his lips again, I take it away from him.
"That's enough Ethan, we gotta go" I pay the bar tender before lifting his left arm to my shoulders and leading him outside this time alone. I unlock the doors to the car and put him into the passengers seat before getting in and driving straight to dad's safe house again without even thinking back on it. I'm doing this too often already, if dad finds out, he might get mad at me. We arrive the house and I take him straight to the room he slept in last time. Approaching the bed, I try to throw him off to the bed but he falls along with me instead, pulling me under him.
"Oh great!!" I whine my eyes. Goodness he's got so much weight and he's heavy breath smells so much of vodka. I struggle and push him off and on getting myself up, I feel a hand grab on mine and bringing me back to the previous position I was in.
"Ariya... I like you" he says in a hoarse voice. My heart starts counting twenty beats per second. Jesus! I thought he was so deep in sleep. Everything happened so fast and before I could get a grip of myself, I feel his lips on mine. I fall for his charm and kiss him back savoring his mouth with my tongue. I could taste the vodka he was suffocating himself with. This is wrong.
Get a grip of yourself Ariya, he just kissed you under the influence of alcohol and sorrow.
I broke the kiss and hold his face in my hands. I look into his eyes but all I see is frustration and sorrow. His head falls off my hands onto my shoulders. I guess he is sleep bound now. I could feel that weight weighing down on me again. I shift him off me into the bed.
Taking off his T, a flash of the kiss and and what he said came flooding my mind and I smile to it before proceeding.
I wipe him up, pushed myself to touch his cool wolf tattoo. My mind races back to when I thought I saw he's eyes turn blue but I drive the thought away anyway. It can't be interpreted to nothing.
"This tat doesn't say or proof anything" I say to myself. I sit at the edge of the bed when I'm done wiping and I can't help staring. Ethan is tall, a pain killer of a cutie. He is light skin with beautiful dark grey eyes. He's got this real smooth cute apps I've practically been dying for since day one. He's got really beautiful glowing dark skin. Sometimes I feel on top of the world when we walk together and passerbys stare. I just want to shout out to them.
"Hey this cutie is my man" but that's not true anyway.
Hey! aunt Steph called to check on him three times. I text back to ease her fear as usual. This is totally a replay of things.
He likes me,, that's a progress though he might have said that under the influence of alcohol. I snap myself out of the thoughts.
Stop dreaming Ariya, go to bed already.
I nag myself. I go to my room, freshen up and fall on my bed like a log of wood. So tired.
ETHAN....
I wake up to a familiar room.
"Wait! I know this place, this is the same safe house Ariya brought me to the last time. I might just get used to this"I slightly smile to myself. I hear a knock at the door.
"Yeah! You can open, I'm not naked"
The door pops open and the aged lady from last time walks in.
"Good morning Mr. Handsome" she greets me with a broad smile on her face. Hey wait! She's not flirting with me is she?
*I think the lady likes you Ethan*
"Shut up!!" I spouted loud before realizing. I really really hate this stupid alien always filling my head with all this bull shit. Great now she'll think I'm a psycho.
" Ha problem is they oga?" Her accent is so strange like I can barely understand her.(Oga- A Cameroonian/Nigerian/Ghanaian pidgin slang for Sir.) like where is she from? I do hope she doesn't think she was the one I was shutting up.
"Sorry?"
"I mean Problem is they?"
" And what's the other thing you said? Oyaa?"
"The pronouncing it na Oga, it meaning Sa" she smiles but I think all this is weird but fare enough it's kind of funny.
"Oh, no problem at all ma'am"
"Ha no calling me ma'am oh, is only Suzi" She's so funny and flirty.
"Where you from Suzi?" I ask her.
"I am being Cameroonian Sa"
"Oh" They got really funny but nice accent and word pronunciations, the way they mix up the words too.
"I bring ya clos. Washed and ironed" she placed it on the bed before leaving the room but she winked, like Mr. Bean. It's really funny but I can't afford to laugh right now. I mean she's pretty yeah! But she's even lost two of her molars which show when she talks or smiles and it makes her much less pretty.
I get yet another knock at the door and with my approval the doors pushes open and it's my morning Glory.Just the type of faces I wanna be seeing in the mornings and definitely not Suzi's. Just complementing.
"Hi Ethan, good morning, did you rest well?"
"Good morning Ariya I did. Thanks for this. Again. I mean it's already as embarrassing as it is" I say shyly.
" it's nothing, I did what I had to do, for a friend"
I manage a faint smile. I notice she's beautifully covered in black.
"Why are you.... OH SHIT!!" I hop off the bed and rush into the bathroom.
