My Crush's Uncle

Thank God. i***t!

The next morning Theresa woke to find that Dwayne was gone. She looked down at what covered her, a large black overcoat draped one her body. Theresa held the coat to her face and she smelt him, her breath hitched as she pulled it away from her "What the hell am I doing?" She shook her head.

She stared at the coast for sometime and she brought it to her nose again, it was one of those masculine scents that would drive a woman mad if he walks past. Theresa smiled against the coat and a sudden flash of yesterday's events and then reality hit her.

Theresa got up as she looked around, did he just leave her here...in the middle of nowher-

"Theresa!"

Turning to her name, Theresa heard a few more calls and she ran towards the direction.

"Theresa?"

"Denaya!" She calls out to her friend as she followed the sound of her voice.

"I hear her! Theresa!"

She was saved, of course she was like only missing for like 22 hours but she was glad to hear her best friends voice.

Denaya wiped sweat from her forehead as she rests her other hand on her hip, she looked around frantically for her friend, fearing the worst possible outcomes of what could befall her most beloved friend.

"Ryan i thought you heard her!" She pushes him at the chest, Ryan didnt say anything as he let her pushed him.

One of Ryans friend held Denaya back as she tried to pull away from them "You are such an asshole! You told me she was fine!" She screamed, her cheeks turning pink as tears rolled down.

She finally stopped as she turned around in the arms of whomever was holding her as she sobbed into his chest.

Thr group couldn't utter another word as they heard the cries of Denaya, it was the first time they've seen her cry,it was so weird.

Theresa ran towards the sounds of screams and stops behind a tree, she couldn't believe that her friend was in the arms of someone other than her.

"Dennie?"

"I can still hear her voice. I'm going crazy." She mumbled.

"Dennie!" Theresa called out to her friend.

"There it is again. I'm going crazy." She mumbled on.

"You finally realised that?" There laughed and Denaya immediately stopped sobbing.

Denaya slowly peeked from the arms of Marcus as she looked around to find where the familiar sounding voice was coming from. Theresa stepped away from behind the tree as she walked closer to the group who all seemed to sigh in relief when they saw her.

Theresa felt a bit embarrassed as they stared at her in awkward silence, she gave a slight wave as she approached them "Uh, good morning everyone." She nervously laughed, Denaya came running and tackled her to the ground "Whoa!" Theresa screamed as she failed to catch her friend.

Denaya cried in happinesses as she placed kisses on her friends face "Ok, Dennie, Dennie!" Theresa yelled out, she looked over to the group asking for help but others seemed to have enjoyed the moment they were having. "Where have you been you crazy, stupid, idiotic human being!" Denaya beats at her friends chest.

"Ah, ah boobs." Theresa tried to shield her chest from her flying fists. She couldn't help but laugh at what was happening.

"It's not funny! I thought you were hurt! Or worse...dead!" She sobbed, Theresa slowly stopped and cleared her throat. "I'm fine Dennie. As you can see. I'm still alive!" She smiled only to get hit on the shoulder again "What happened?" Denaya growled.

"I...  was out for a walk. Trust me that was the worst mistake ever, and zi got lost."

"How far did you walk? How come your're ok? She asks, Theresa nervously laughed as she thought of an excuse "Survival skills I guess." She shrugs, Denaya sighed as she removed herself from her friend and helped her up. Everyone came to pat Theresa in the back and exchange a few words.

Michelle their organiser pulled her into a hug "Child you nearly gave me a heart attack." Theresa smiled as she tightened the hug before reassuring her.

Her smile faltered as she saw Ryan blankly staring at her, Theresa lets go of Michelle as she walks up to him, the coat hugging her shoulders caught his eye "Hey Ryan. Thanks for looking for me."

Silence, Theresa watched as he stared at the jacket, noticing it she cleared her throat, Ryan looks up at her and clenched his jaw "Why didn't you pick up your phone?" He growled.

Theresa scrunched her face 'Why is he angry? I was lost for 22 hours gosh.' Theresa finally said something after a minute of silence "It's in my room...on silent. Besides, do you really think I could get a signal from put here?" Ryan didn't say anything, his nose flared as his eyes set back on the jacket around her shoulders "Who were you with?" He questions to which Theresa opens her mouth to answer, but quickly shuts it. Everyone finally noticed that the jacket around her shoulders were big, yet she somehow fits.

How does she answer this question? she had no idea who the guy was. Only that his name was Dwayne. What to say? What to say? They'll even be more curious and start asking questions "I found it....in the woods."

Wow. Just wow. She thought to herself.

"Found it? Who in the world would leave a $2,500 Armani jacket in the middle of the woods." His eyes flickered to her again, Theresa's eyes nearly bulged out at the sound of the price "True,my brother has the same jacket." Denaya walked towards her friend and checks the back tag, "Mhm. Armani, this is the new winter collection." Everyone stared at Theresa who gaped at them.

"I don't know ok. I found it this morning. Looks like someone else got lost." Theresa shrugged playing innocent. Everyone looked at each other and didn't press it further "Can we go? I'm kinda-" She was interrupted by loud growling coming from her stomach. Denaya bursts into a fit of laughter as she swung her arms around Theresa and walked her towards the direction of the camp.

The walk back was nice they got to enjoy the view of the sun rays slowly seeping  behind the trees . Ryan was quiet the whole time, Theresa glanced and saw that he was staring at her and she felt uncomfortable but the little betrayal in her heart beating at a fast paced seemed happy. After a long day of activities Denaya did not leave Theresa's side fearing another incident, which is totally unreasonable.

Theresa couldn't forget about last night, she somehow missed Dwayne. Hopefully, she could meet him again. Oh how she wish she could see him again.
