"He hit you?!" I stopped her from going on with her story when I heard that. I don't know how but I got angry and it reflected in the tone of my voice when I asked her.
"It's all the past," she shrugged."My dad saw the swell around my eyes, had him locked up but it was just for a night. Jason's dad got him out that night, my dad wanted him to stay longer. It's actually funny, my dad actually cared that he hit me, I didn't think he would care if Jason hit me or not. I was surprised you know," she laughed briefly.
"Why did I tell you all of that? I just want you to know how intolerable I am about cheating." She stood from where she sat on the bench beside me and sat on my laps, putting her arms around me and hugging me.
"I wish I met you earlier, maybe I won't have had such a bad history for my first relationship." I heard her say with her head resting on my shoulder. I rubbed her back slowly, she seemed like she was trying not to cry so I helped her with that.
"Jerry?" She lifted her face from my shoulder and looked at me directly as she called."I really like you, REALLY," she stressed on that last word."Don't lie to me, I beg you..." She inhaled a seemingly large volume of air and exhaled almost immediately.
"Don't ever cheat on me, if you do that, I might just...I don't know, I think I might lose it." She added, shaking her head as she spoke. "I swear I haven't been so into anyone this much since this celebrity I had a crush on when I was 15 and trust me, with you, it's more than just a crush, I feel so unusual whenever you're around, the good kinda unusual."
She cupped my face in her small hands while still sitting over me, bringing her face to mine.
"I trust you." She finally said before sucking on my lower lips first.
"I won't cheat on you," I assured her because I didn't plan to. She kissed me again. And again, I put my hands on her waist, bringing her body closer to me than it was.
Our kiss was getting deeper till she suddenly jumped off of me, covering her mouth with one hand as she looked at me, her eyes widened like she wanted to say something.
"What? You okay?" I asked but all she did was roll her eyes.
With her right palm still over her mouth, she started off to a corner in the park where there was a hand washing sink. I followed.
When I joined her, I saw her throwing up in the sink. She joined her palm together under the tap to hold some water which she used to watch her face.
Her hair was about to fall in her face and get wet too but I stopped it on time. When I did that she looked up from splashing water against her face and just watched her hands.
"You okay now?" I asked when I saw that she was done.
"Yeah. Why were you holding me so tight? What if I threw up on you? huh?"
"Well, you didn't." I just said.
"Luckily," she laughed as we both turned it return to where we sat before, she was behind me.
"You throw up a lot, is it because of the pregnancy?" I asked when I got closer to the bench but she didn't answer.
I turned my neck to see why and she wasn't there. I panicked.
"Ann?" I called even though I knew she wasn't around to answer. I started to trace my steps back to where the sink was.
"Ann!" I called out louder when I returned there and she wasn't present. I ran my right fingers through my hair. I was confused, she was behind me just now.
"Ann?!" I called again while still looking around the place with my eyes, trying to figure out where she went. A guy passed and gave me a derisive look. I ran my fingers through my hair again with a sigh, my worry was rising with every bit of air I inhaled and exhaled.
I scratched my head, still confused but more worried. I felt someone's warm hands cover my eyes. With a fast and reflexed action, I held the wrist of this person, turning back after. It was Ann.
She laughed, in a muffled way at first then it got louder. She laughed till she had some tears in her eyes. She freed herself of my hold to wipe them off.
"Where did you go?" I asked after not being able to figure out why she was laughing.
"I was here all along," Her laughter hadn't stopped yet; she laughed as she replied.
"Where?" I had to ask because I didn't see her 'Here' like she said she was.
"Look at you. What? Were you worried?" She laughed more. "O my god, you have to see how your face looks in a mirror right now. You were like: Ann? Ann?" She continued with her laughter.
I sighed deeply. It was obvious to me that she had hidden to play a prank on me. I should be angry but I wasn't. I found myself smiling. My sister usually did stuffs like this but I never smiled about it, I guess I was smiling because it was Ann. She looked so much cuter whenever she smiled and now she was laughing, her face had never been more beautiful.
My smile turned into a chortle, she was making me laugh.
"Don't do that," I told her when she finally stopped laughing."Don't ever do that, Ann." I went closer to her and cupped her face.
"Were you worried or what?" She asked me, a smile coming back to her lips.
"Very," I didn't return her smile, I wanted her to see how serious I was."Don't do that again." I told her as I looked into those charming eyes of hers.
"Or what?" Her innocent eyes turned daring as she bit her lips.
