RAMSEY
I hadn't planned that I would offer her to come along, my initial plan was to check in on her since I hadn't seen her out this morning and it seemed her parents were still not home. Personally I preferred being alone but I knew she'd be lonely without company and though she'd always deny. I left my room and moved to leave the house, getting down I saw that I was home alone,my mom might've probably gone to her shop and my dad probably to his office or somewhere,I didn't care and earlier I saw Davidson going out probably to hang out with friends. I was fully dressed with polo,trousers and a sneakers,I had my phone secured in pocket and collected the pizza and pack of drink from the kitchen and left the house. I checked the door and ensured it was locked and kept the key at the spot where they all knew to check if they forgot to carry their keys, I crossed to Gem's compound and knocked on the door and waited for her to answer but she was taking a while I decided to knock again but immediately I made a move to she opened the door.
"Hi." I wanted to say but she slammed the door against me showing she was displeased to see me but who would've thought we'd end up agreeing to hang out together.
I was currently waiting outside for her to get ready so we could head out. I had my back turned against her when she called out from the door.
"Oya let's go. I'm ready." she said.
I turned to nod "Ok" but I was dumbfounded for a few seconds before I recovered myself.
She was dressed in a simple outfit but still looked very beautiful and hot to me. She wore a white tee,denim shorts and I checked her footwear and it was a white Nike. If I was still deeply in love with the image of her that I remember from years ago,I didn't know how to react to looking at her now and the changes her physique had gone through over the years. Her legs were still straight as ever and she was still the chubby girl I knew,her skin was a caramel tone and I promised to ask her later for the lotion she used because it was working out so well for her skin and thank God she was wearing a tee because the little skin I saw from her breasts earlier that we fell had an effect on me,an effect that I was so embarrassed that she had caught on. I didn't know she'd be able to read the look since I felt she was still naive in body reactions mostly for the male gender,but it seems I was wrong,I wondered what else she knew. I snapped out of my thoughts and stretched my hands to her to hold onto so we could head out and as expected she eyed my hand and hit it instead of holding onto and walked pass me which cracked me up but followed anyways.
"So where exactly which mall are we going to?" she asked.
"We could go to Tivo mall or Shoprite mall,either would work". I replied.
"Hmmmm ok let's go to Shoprite, they'll probably have more options." she replied.
We strolled down the estate and boarded a tricycle and bargained the amount for him to drop us at the mall since there was no tricycle going straight to the route to the mall,we agreed on a price and we entered. In less that 30 minutes we got to the mall,we paid the transport fare and we entered the mall through the side gate because the main gate was located at the farther end of the mall. As we moved on I realized that she was more relaxed than tensed like she was earlier on when I suggested the outing,I just hoped my #operation_make_her_love_me# was working.
I held her hands anyway even as she protested and dragged her along to my favorite fast-food there to atleast replenish our strength before we started having mad fun. I picked a sit and sat her down to wait while i ordered. I ordered basmati fried rice,fried plantain and turkey in two servings,paid and carried to where she sat,I sat beside her and placed hers in front of her to eat,I had expected her to argue as usual but she didn't and instead mumbled thank you and picked her spoon to eat. While we ate we talked about random subjects,we laughed at some funny looking advertisers we saw and she even playfully reached out to my plate and took a bite of my turkey while she still had hers,I was brimming with joy at the possibility that she had finally started being more comfortable around me and I felt satisfied and full even when I hadn't even finished half of my food.
I can only imagine how the whole outing made her comfortable because she started being more vocal in telling me what she wanted,I had thought she'd want us to play games after eating but instead she held my hands and dragged me to the Genesis cenema and bought 2 tickets to watch the latest fast and furious movie that came out and as she held my hands while getting the tickets and our refreshments I could only stare at our entwined hands and smile feeling as if I won a lottery. She got vanilla flavoured ice creams for herself and a strawberry flavoured for myself and I wondered how she knew I liked strawberry,she turned still dragging me along to the cenema house but I felt her tense the moment we turned,I made a move to see what made her so tense and I saw my brother and some of his friends including the girl he referred to as his girlfriend the last time we talked,I tried to remember the name he had called and it immediately came to me,he had called her "Ada". Seems they were still heading to the cenema house but they had their backs turned to us but they turned immediately we had saw them as if a ghost that whispered for them to turn,I schooled my expression and smiled while waving to them, a wave that they didn't return, but who cared?. Seeing as Gem was still tensed I grabbed her hands instead and dragged her along because we'd have to pass by them to enter the cenema house,I had hoped they'd let us pass by without a word but David just had to open up his big mouth.
"Hi Gem." he said.
"Hi." Gem quietly replied and I had the urge to hurl her on my shoulder and move along but I resisted.
"Since we've all said hi,good bye." I interrupted rudely and dragged her along.
When we had passed them,I felt a pinch on my lower back.
"Hey,what was that for?" I queried.
"You weren't very nice." she tried saying but couldn't help but laugh along her statement and I smiled too but I couldn't help but wondered what amused her.
"Why are you laughing?" I curiously asked.
"Did you see her face? oh my God it was priceless." she continued laughing and I could finally understood what was making her laugh.
"No I didn't. I didn't bother to look at her." I replied.
"Exactly. She's so used to attention and you not giving her that made her look as if she was constipated." she continued while still laughing.
"Well. She doesn't look very interesting." I replied.
"Yes true she's not interesting at all and it makes me wonder what about her makes people so hooked." she continued.
"Well I don't see it too. She's not that captivating." I added and like I expected her smile got bigger at how in sync our thoughts were and probably I was the first to agree with her.
I had thought she would querry me on how I dragged her pass David but it seemed that wasn't what she even cared about so we continued to talk and laugh as we moved. When got to the cenema house and gave our tickets to the security checking tickets and we got in,seems the movie had already started so all the lights had already been shut but we navigated through the dark and we located a seat at the higher row. We sat down besides each other and settled down to watch the movie,we continued to watch as we licked our ice cream in silence. We finished watching the movie and everybody got up to leave,we waited behind for a few minutes for the crowd to clear up before we made a move to leave,I would've suggested for us to return home for today but it seemed she still wanted to stay so I kept my suggestion and allowed her decide on what to do even though she had been adamant about the outing at first.
We went to the game center and played games with her defeating me at some and I defeating her at the others. We roamed around some more till she decided we should start heading home because it was getting late. We got home and I escorted her to her door,watched her go inside before I turned to mine still feeling high on joy.
