Zec (COMPLETE)

CHAPTER VII: Insensible

You met me first, but she’s your love at first sight…

--------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning, I jolted up from my sleep with a massive headache! I felt like my head’s in a vice grip! 

I stepped my foot on the floor but screamed in surprise when I stepped on a person! She also screamed in pain! My eyes were still closed but I know that’s Milena’s voice! 

What was she doing on the floor?Why is she here? Did she slept over after taking me home? Doesn’t she know she’s the reason why I’m hurting this much!

I sat on the edge of my bed, still massaging my head. I could take the pain in my head but not the pain in my heart!

I felt Milena stood up to get something and went beside me, “Here, drink this medicine again to ease your headache. Remember not to drown yourself with alcohol to feel freedom. And Smarty-Pants you should not drink alone. You’re lucky you’re still sane when you called me. What if I didn’t fetch you up in that bar? Bad things might happen to you.”, She sounded as if she really cares for me! Hmph!

She kept on talking after I drank the medicine she gave me, “Ssshh. Mi, keep quiet. My head’s gonna explode if your mouth don’t shut up!”

I laid on the bed and felt that she sat beside me. She gently laid my head on her lap. I slightly opened my eyes, but she said, “Just rest” and then massaged my head. What are you doing, Milena? Stop doing sweet things for me! It makes me fall for you even more!

She massaged my neck up to my temples then around my head. She rubbed both of her hands to warm it up a little then touched the back of my head. Her warmth ease the pain in my head. Could she give warmth to my heart too?

As I felt relief, I soon realized that my head was on her bare legs!What the heck? She always wear jeans! I roamed my hands slowly up her thighs to make sure that I’m not hallucinating. Then I asked her, “Mi, are you wearing mini shorts?”

She didn’t reply so I opened my eyes and slowly looked at her outfit.The pain completely left my system as soon as I saw what she’s wearing! I couldn’t control the laugh that escaped my mouth and said, “Whoa! Milena is that you? What happened to my best friend?Why are you wearing a dress? You went at the bar last night wearing that? Oh my gosh! You’re finally a woman!”

“Oh, shut up you witch! You should thank me for worrying about you last night!”

She stood up and removed her dress then went to my closet without a care in the world! This sexy stripper! She wore my large tee shirt and that’s it!She let it covered her down to her knees! Such a tease! She caught me staring at her and my face felt hot!

 “Hey witch! Don’t puke out there.You know I’m disgusted by that! Run to the bathroom and do your business there.I’ll go downstairs to cook some food for our brunch time. You’re the princess now and I’m the maid. Go to the kitchen after ten minutes, okay?”

What kind of business would I do inside the bathroom? Perverted images popped out of my mind. And I felt that my face blushed even more! And before she could ask me why, I ran to the bathroom! I took a cold shower to calm down my nerves!

When I’m satisfied at lowering down my libido, I went to the kitchen and saw her preparing plates. She already cooked food without her favorite. “Oh sorry, I forgot to tell you Mi, there’s no more bacon left. I did not have time to buy again at the grocery store.”

“It’s okay. I cooked scrambled eggs instead. How are you? Is your headache gone? Why did you drink too much last night? It’s your first-time drinking alcohol for Pete’s sake!”

“My head doesn’t hurt anymore but my heart, is still not okay. I thought I drowned all of this last night. I thought the more I drink, the more I can numb the pain.”

“What? Who the hell hurt you? Tell me that son of a witch’s name and I’ll punch him to death! Is that the basketball player with a squinty eye or the white guy you have a crush on?”

I kept my lips closed but I’m inwardly laughing. She wanted to punch the person who hurt me? I wanted to ask her if she could punch herself for me!

I sighed and said, “Don’t bother. If you punch that person, you’ll just get hurt.”

“Nope! They can’t hurt me! There’s no way they can defeat these muscles of mine!”

She’s so dumb sometimes! Why can’t she tell that I’m letting her know my feelings for her in the simplest way I could? She lifted her shirt to let me see her soon to be six-pack abs and flex her biceps at me. I controlled myself not to stare at her glorious body. She’s almost naked in front of me! What the heck, Milena?!

I pushed her away and said, “Yuck! That’s not even a six-pack abs! And please! Can you cover up yourself? Why are you not even wearing shorts? You are proud of your white legs that never met any rays of the sun!”

“Hmph! You’re just envious of me!”

Our playful remarks were interrupted when her phone ringed. 

“Oops. Excuse me for a bit. I’ll just answer this call.”, she excused herself and went to the living room.

Why would she excuse herself in front of me? She always answer her calls even if I’m listening! She really changed!

I sneak a peek at her from the kitchen door. Being careful not to be seen by her. I saw her biting her lips and smiling like a lovesick girl!

I turned my back away from her and start making my coffee instead. I felt a painful sting on my heart again!

When she went back to the kitchen, she’s still smiling, and her face is all red. It’s confirmed! She’s talking to the love of her life!

I wanted her to tell me the truth, “Oh. Why are you so giddy after that call? Who called you?”

“Will tell you later. First, you should tell me what really happened to you last night. What’s your problem?”

Why are you keep delaying the facts? I want you to tell me now, so I could face the reality!

“What’s the point of telling you? You can’t solve my problem. The person I love is already in love with someone else. I’ll guess who called you. Your spoiled brat classmate, right?”

“Hey, stop calling her like that. She’s not a spoiled brat. She’s nice,sweet and selfless. The rumors about her being a spoiled brat, is all a lie!”

“Why are you defending her like you are her knight in shining armor? Is she your new best friend? Oh wait, the way she acts and the way you two look at each other, don’t tell me, she’s already your girlfriend?!”

She didn’t answer me immediately. Then she nodded and smiled, “Aha! You got that right, Miss Sherlock Holmes!”

I accidentally burst the coffee out of my mouth and she abruptly jumped backward.

“Frick Frack! Don’t tell me you agreed to be with that son of a pup,spoiled brat!”

“Zec, she’s not a spoiled brat, her name’s Azil. “

I don’t care about her name! I care about the name she’s calling me now! I wanted to be her princess again! If I know that a girl would steal her heart,then I should’ve given her a love potion!

“Holy specks! I don’t care about her name! How did she do that? Were you bewitched by that Shazbot? Oh, truck! Why? Why did you agree to be her girlfriend?” 

“Why not? I like her.”

“You liked other girls too. You even had a crush on me before! But you said that all of that were simple admiration! You said that you think of us as your older sisters! That you are not into same s*x relationships! So, what the holy specks is this?! Are you trolling me?!”

“You’re so full of yourself, Smarty-Pants! You’re not on my girl crush list!”

I threw a fork at her and she laughed. This witch! I knew she has a crush on me but not the way I like her! Sadly, her admiration for me, it’s more of a friend or a sibling.

 “Okay fine! Yes, I had a crush on you. That day I met you at your badminton match. The way you raise your racket and hit the shuttle with a full arm swing. It’s so magnificent to look at! But when I became your friend, I realized, I’m a better player than you. Ha! Just kidding! Azil made the first move, confessing her feelings for me. When she cried that time, my heart melted. And I felt that this feeling I have for her is not a simple admiration or wanting her as a sister. So, I said yes to her.”

“So, for example, if I confessed and cried to you that time when you still liked me, is it possible that you will agree to be my girlfriend too?”, I asked gingerly.

“I don’t get it, Zec. Why are you asking me like that?”, she refused to answer.

“Just answer it!”

“I don’t know, Zec. Maybe? Do you think there’s a chance that I’ll like you if we are not friends that time and didn’t treat you as my sister? ‘cause I’m not sure. This is the first time I felt this that’s why I knew this is different. And why are you using yourself as an example. It feels weird!”

“Oh gosh! I didn’t know you’re that stupid! Fudge! I don’t care! You’rein the right age for dating normal people! I swear, that spoiled brat will only hurt you!”

I ran off to my bedroom and cried my hearts out. That brat is a flirt! She will only hurt the person I love! You’re so stupid Milena! But I’m more stupid than you! Because I’m still hoping that you could love me back!
