Chapter 7 - OUR SECOND FIGHT

Oh my god.Embarrassing myself on an interview?

ALL THIS IS AJ'S FAULT.

I vomited all over his table, paperwork, laptop!!!

Thank God my paper was spared. I had no other choice but to run out. I ran as fast as my legs could take me.My mind was blank. All I could think of was AJ !!! I embarrassed myself Infront of my enemy.

I got home and landed straight on my bed.

I cried myself into my pillow.

Why all this? I wouldn't have to go through all this if...if..wait! How did the officials find out about my parents? Just then my mind went blank.

I woke up to the smell of food again! When I opened my eyes AJ was staring down at me dressed up as a chef. With a smile on.

I rubbed my eyes to see him clearly. He had prepared multiple dishes on a dinner cart.

"All tired from the interview?"He asked.

"How did my surprise go?" he asked while setting up a mini table for me to eat at.

"What says the time?"I asked.

"The time says 3:00pm".

I had slept for about 3 hours?He setted up everything and I ate it shyly but quickly.I was hungry and I started to grow lean from missing breakfast and lunch quite often. All because I was too shy to ask or AJ'S tricks.

"So how did my surprise go?"he asked.

That was when I remembered everything and tears started rolling down my face.

"I am not sure I got it".I said weeping.

"But why?"he asked.

"I don't want to talk about it" I said. Because if I talked we would have our second fight again.

"C'mon tell me".He persuaded.

Just then the bell rang.

"oh that must be Simone".he said and left.

I was all alone, eyes swollen, tired and stressed. I pulled out my phone and called Laila.

"Laila"!!! I cried.

"Baby...baby what's wrong?"

" Please don't cry should I come over?"she asked.

"No...no need". I sniffed whiles saying.

"Nonsense I am already in my way". she cut the call.

An hour later I saw Laila's car parked in.

And she rang the doorbell. About 4 minutes she was in my room.

She walked straight to my bed and hugged me. I rested my head on her shoulders and I cried while she rubbed my back.

I cried and cried and cried. I let it all out. I wanted to be the strong girl. But my heart was weak. Maybe because I was pampered all my life? The only pain I ever felt was when I fell down or hurt any part of my body.

I was now introduced to all this kind of pain.It was new to me!! It was strange to me. I cried myself into her shoulders. And then I slept. I always slept after crying.

I woke up and it was night time. Laila wasn't in my room had she left? I went downstairs to investigate where she was then I saw AJ talking with his friend. Was that supposed to be Simone?

I wanted to call out to him but then I heard something interesting.

I decided to eavesdrop. Well, it wasn't really eaves dropping because I was up the stairs and he was in the hall. I could see them.

"Really?" his friend asked .

"Yh I live with a baby dude...like it's crazy".he said.And it broke my heart.He lived with a baby?

"Today she came home and just slept on her bed lazily...I prepared food for her and she ate.".he said. Lazily? Lazily? Did he know what I passed through this morning?

"I thought me getting a girl would reduce this... me preparing food all by myself at least she could do something to help but she adds up dude ".Really? AJ ? Add up? oh so I am a burden?

"I asked her how her day was and she started to cry even though I had surprised her today".he said.

"Woah... dude a baby and a cry baby not too of that? Nah!!!!".His friend added and they laughed.

Really???? Woah!! I am so sorry!!!I went to my room and decided not to cry again. I am not a cry baby.

I wanted to cry so bad. Everyone I love was against me now. My boyfriend, my friends and now AJ ? Ok..I don't love AJ. I just...uhmm...I like him??

But now I don't anymore. He' just like the others. I thought he was different.

I slept on my bed,off the lights and stared out the window.

My door creaked open and I heard footsteps. I knew it was AJ. I felt his hands over my shoulders and I breathed in his smell.

He touched my shoulders.

"What coming to check in on the baby? oh no wait cry baby?" I asked him enraged.

"What do you mean by that?" he asked pretending he didn't know what I was saying.

"Oh you want more? okay how about 'i thought me getting a girl would reduce this... buh she only adds up' huh?" I asked him.

"I am a burden?"

"Do you know you were the cause of my cry?"

"I cried all because of you". I said.

"How?"he asked confused.

"HOW?? WHY DID YOU PUT FOOD IN MY BAG RIGHT ON TOP OF MY PAPERS?"

"I thought..."

"You thought what?"

"Reply me! I want to fight you, I want to beat you. Stop playing cool! Shout back!!!" I yelled crying.

I started hitting his chest.

He held my hands and pulled it to himself turning my back Infront of him.

He cuddled me.Was he trying to comfort me? oh no!! Not anymore. I tried to leave his embrace by wriggling but to no avail. He was stronger and pressed me even harder to him.

I stopped wriggling and we were in that position for some time before he moved us to sit on my bed.

He made me sit on him and he placed his head at the side of my neck and whispered

"I am sorry. I didn't mean it like how you mean it. please forgive me".

I wanted to reply but then I fell asleep.
