Love Mechanics

Chapter Six

Cat

 I left him alone, sure that he was going to murder me for tightly hugging him, Instant regrets, I looked up at him, he was smiling faintly, he hall lights were lighting up his face and I could clearly see the shock he had.

"Sorry," I muttered as I stood up and leaned on the door, I hadn't realized that I was balancing with his arm, I let him go,

"Come on, the food's getting cold," Chiki said as he passed the door and stood at the hallway, I smiled and closed the door then went with him downstairs.

"Phew," Simon was halfway up the staircase, "I thought you died and then Chiki followed you and he died so I was going to be next,"

Chiki laughed awkwardly then passed Simon and went on walking, I tapped Simon's shoulder then walked with him downstairs.

"Oh, I wish you died," Chloe addressed Chiki as he sat next to her, I sat next to Simon and served myself, it was warm, I had no idea exactly how long I was up there but it must have been awfully long considering how warm it was.

"So, Mae," Simon said, while putting his fork down,

"Yeah, last time at Kay's party, she came with a bikini, and she has stretch marks though," Chloe said,

"Her boobs too," Chiki said,

"What?" Chloe was offended,

"Her boobs have way more stretch marks than her a*s," Chiki swallowed the food in his mouth.

"You f****d her!" Chloe stood up and threw the towel at the table, looking at Chiki angrily, I panicked, having no idea what to do or tell them so that we can have a peaceful dinner,

"I wasn't even dating you!"

Simon mouthed angrily at Chiki and flinched at him,

"Oh my God," Chloe hit Chiki's back and he stood up,

"You get mad at me for f*****g Mae and you still act innocent about f*****g Simon?"

"I didn't f**k Simon,"

"Oh really, have you seen the s*x tape yet? It was a trend during summer,"

Chloe slapped him then left, Simon looked at him angrily,

"It took me three months to calm her down from all the summer drama you cunt!" Simon screamed and left after Chloe.

"Guess it's just us," I whispered while stuffing my mouth with rice and the potatoes then looked down at my plate.

"This is exactly what I hate about relationships you know, the drama," Chiki broke the silence after a while.

"Yeah, it kinda sucks," I agreed with him, in relationships I also preferred the ride or die and that's it, have s*x, get kids, if you don't want me have s*x with someone else and we have a life, it was way less drama according to me,

"I mean geez I never understand women,"

"Welcome to the group," I never did too, they were just too hard, she says she wants this, she says she wants that you give to them, they say they wanted that... I was confused by women.

"Hmm," He sighed as he went on eating.

"Hello babes!" Mickey opened the door, he was high, vodka on one hand and a key full of cocaine particles on the other, I stood up and looked at Chiki then Mickey,

"Who's this?" Mick entered the dining room, leaned on the door frame and pointed Chiki,

"My classmate?" I said loud and clear.

"It's eight o'clock isn't your mother supposed to feel pain on her cunt by now?" Chiki frowned, trying to understand the sentence,

"He was just leaving Mickey," I said as I tapped slowly on the table, hoping Chiki would stand and leave but he didn't

"No need," Mickey walked to him, I was scared, was he going to grab his hair... I was surely in trouble.

"Hi..." Chiki was trembling, he didn't look at Mickey's face but he stared at the enormous hand on his shoulder, he wanted to stand, I heard the chair creak but he couldn't.

"Do you do... (Hic)... Molly?"

"Umm..." Chiki looked at me, I sighed, what to do, what to do? My mind was racing, I could just take the chair and throw it at Mickey but his strength and the one of the chair never matched.

"Here," Mickey put his hand in his pocket and removed a cleanly wrapped Molly, "It's a gift to you, I got twenty seven grand in three hours," Mickey was Hiccupping all the while, he let go of Chiki and stumbled to the sink,

"Eat it my boy," He finally said when he was drinking a glass of water while leaning on the counter.

Chiki opened it, giving me short glances and eyes that were purely blank and scared, he looked as if he had just discovered how I got into drugs, nobody at my school knew, Chiki was the first, everyone in my school had never seen my mother, nor my father, nor Mickey, my mom would send some homeless people to represent me and I lived on saying they were my cousins or uncles or neighbors.

He took a pinch of it and put it on his tongue, he then munched it and swallowed, I looked at him, he was pitiful of me, my hands were folded on the dining table, I felt like dying at the moment, the guy I really admired just saw the flawed side of my life.

"Oh come on, take some more, if you take three to four pinches, ecstasy my dear," yes, ecstasy, last summer I did the same, I took powdered molly in large quantities and I knew if he did that too, he would get high, he took the whole paper, threw it all into his mouth then put the paper down,

"That's my boy, now he can be my son and I would have been proud of him," Mickey addressed me while walking towards Chiki,

"I need to take him home Mickey," I said as I stood up and headed next to him on the other side,

"If he was my son I would never wish he was dead," Mickey said, it was humorous, I never take his drugs giving him his needed profit but he would rather have a child who took them, I shook my head as I caught Chiki's hand, by the look if his eyes, he was already in Ecstasy.

"Let him go Mick," I said as I tried to make him stand up, he dramatically left him and raised his hand up as if surrendering to me, if only, he should surrender to the police, I would throw a party, I thought as I caught Chiki and walked outside with him.

"You wanna know something Cat?"

"What?"

"We should just be gay and date each other"

I was speechless...
