The Memory of You

Chapter 3

I laid on my bed , unfortunately, it felt as hard as my life , which was basically saying much less

My life was easier than most of the friends I have, but as an adult, it got hard on only one way

I'll be back there again . By tomorrow, I'll be resuming my sessions

open therapy

My phone rang by my side , I stretched my lazy hand to pick it up. " jezz," I muttered

the caller ID made me sigh ,

" calling this late Sean, it better be worth it," I spoke slowly

he scoffed at the other end. " Was that supposed to be threatening ? "

I rubbed my eyes in irritation slowly

" And no, Demin, it's not worth it." he has got guts to disturb me during my lazy hour

" Come down ... I ordered pizza, " he said," or don't come at all. It has no problem either way

he cut the call , my eyes lingered on my phone and placed it on the drawer beside the bed , I took ten more minutes laying there before I stood to go downstairs

I found him on the sofa stretched like some starfish , chewing on a slice of pizza

when he saw me, he rolled his eyes

" thought you'd pass the extra calories," he joked

and i raised a brow. " Maybe i should . You look like you need them more," i bit back , his brows pinched at my home back

" Are you calling me skinny ?" I chuckled

" Of course i am . Who else looks like a hallowin skeleton besides you?" his eyes widened, then went playfully Irritated

" On second thought, no pizza for you , go back to room." A lazy laugh slipped through

" it's my house , and my card money you used .... I'll take that back, please. "

His eyes shot to my face. " You got four of them, man ... and they are all black ! " I looked at him with half lidded eyes while grabbing the pizza he just took from the box . He didn't dare oppose that i smirked

" Your point?" I asked

he sta back with an i roll grabbing another pizza from the box

" im staying the night, by the way,"

" Of course," I agreed with him, and he looked back at the TV with a smile

' we'll discuss the rent another time,' I added, and he took a pillow to hot me with it

" You douchbag," he said through a smile , " bully the poor will you," I laughed,

we sat there in silence watching the screen . My mind was else where , my thoughts running wild , on what recently happened these past few days

" Sean," he hummed in response

and i paused, letting the moment sink till I spoke again

" it happened again," i said calmly .He froze this hand, holding the pizza halfway to his mouth

" Say that again," his voice came out strained this time

" I did it again " i repeated even thought knowing that he heard me the first time , he didn't speak for moment he just held my gaze for minutes that felt like heavy hours , and then I saw it cross his face ... disappointment mixed with a whole lot of worry , I almost smiled

" explained yourself," his voice came out commanding and serious different from a few minutes ago , which is hilarious considering im literally his boss outside my house

I leaned back into the sofa. " I was by the waves ... then I... isaw her ..it happened too fast. " I remembered the incident as I spoke

A lady dressed in a dark green dress that hugged her body in so many perfect waves , her dark light skin simmering under the setting sun she looked surreal , attractive in a way

I remembered how I watched her hair get blown back by the wind , it wasn't in sight to miss so when I walked to her side and how I watched her last in thoughts , slow steps into drowning , i almost knew what she'd been through even before seeing it

I chuckled and slowly turned to Sean, who was staring at me with a brow risen

" What ? " I asked

" You do know you just said that out loud, right?" My brows pinched a faint red, coloured my ears

" I did not , that's none sense."

he scoffed, looking back and crossing his arms

" So it's a she?"

" Most likely, yes," he nodded slowly like though he understood everything without going deeper

" What an idiotic thing to do." Then he spoke, my head turned to him almost in an instant." Excuse me, "

" we have talked about this over and over again Demin Alexandro , and you sweated you wouldn't do your magic s**t again" he spoke his tone angry but I couldn't be more amused i chuckled " did you just use my full name? " I asked, and he glared at me

" Why are you even pissed ?" I said, brushing him off, looking back at TV that had neither of our attention right now,

" ugh maybe because i give f**k about you" I tried not to cringe at how gay that sounded i turned to him

" you falling for me Wolf?" I mocked and he eye rolled " maybe as i lay dying " I laughed " then cut the crap man " I said and we went into a somewhat less comfortable silence than before

and he asked something that made me regret ever starting this conversation

" did it hurt ?" my chest closed in all the air , I felt a lump slowly form in my throat

" I don't know what your talking about " I tried to change where this was heading which by the way was a stupid answer , " did it hurt? he asked again more stern this time ,

" Drop it," I said, my tone Irritated

" I asked you a question, De..." I snapped

" yes Sean yes it hurt , it was painful." he leaned back quiet for a moment. " Was she worth it ?"

" I don't know " I said looking and the food no longer with an appetite

" this too much to take in" I smiled

" let me help you then " i said leaning towards him and in a second he realised what i was about to do

" wait no , don't touch.." I held his arm before he moved father

his head tilted back his eyes going white and in five seconds they turned back to normal blue. he rubbed his temples and looked at me

" my head hurts from talking to you" he said " how could you argue on s*x not being good " I smiled

It worked
