Love & Betrayal

part 15

Brandon

The following day I woke up around 13:00. My head is heavy with this strong headache, I am starving and I feel exhausted, I need to go back to my sleep, all at one, I don't even know what to do, on the other side my body is aching. I walked to the kitchen and I found my mother who just gave me a stare without saying a word, After her stare she went out, I had no power to say anything to her, having a word might cause an argument so I just let her be. I searched for something to eat and I just found the half-loaf of bread. I needed a porridge so I am not up for cooking. I searched through my pockets, well I didn't even change my clothes from last night because I was so damn tired. I panicked when I couldn't find my phone. I dragged my aching body to the bedroom as I search for it but I couldn't find it, I think I lost my phone. I sit down as I revisit my last night memories "What the f**k did I do" I said that in a whisper. All the hangover faded away as I match to her place. I was standing at the corner of her house. I couldn't go inside, what if her parents are here?. I saw her moving around the yard and I called her. She was so happy to see me. I was so worried about her but on her side she seemed okay as she even hugged me.

Clara: Hello babe you look better today

Brandon: Umh Hello Clara, are you okay?

Clara: All is well, my parents are back and as for me I feel like a lady now

Brandon: Are you not in pain?

Clara: I was struggling to pee this morning but I felt much better after the warm bath I took

Brandon: That's much better

Clara: I am so glad you remembered about our last night, most people can't recall their actions especially when they were drunk

Brandon: I just remembered, I guess I am lucky for that

Clara: I don't regret having you being my first, it was really special

Brandon: Did you enjoy?

Clara: Yeah

Brandon: ( She said that covering her eyes) I can tell, I never thought it was your first

Clara: You hardly knows me, I mean like in the start of our relationship but we already did that

Brandon: Our relationship?

Clara: You are so attractive Brandon I think I kinda like you, after our last night I couldn't stop thinking of you

Brandon: I can still see the scene playing even now

Clara: In how I was screaming?

Brandon: Tell me about it, being drunk wow

Clara: What happened to your heels?

Brandon: Let's not go there!!

Clara: You should've seen yourself in my fathers clothes

Brandon: Please stop it!!

Clara: So where you going to use that secret passage?

Brandon: I feel so dump right now

Clara: It was fun to witness that

Brandon: I lost my phone

Clara: You lost it?

Brandon: Yes I don't know how or when all I know is that I can't find it

Clara: Ooh I am so sorry to hear that

Brandon: Will you please search for it over your place

Clara: Okay I will do

Brandon: Let me go and take a bath cause I smell so bad

Clara: Okay I guess I will see you around

Brandon: I will see you tomorrow

Clara: Tomorrow it is

Brandon: Come here

She got closer as we kissed, what ever I am doing it feels so wrong but I enjoy it. I went home and get back to my sleep.

Monica

I tried to call Brandon but his phone was off, This call send me straight to voicemail, I tried over and over but still it leads me straight to voicemail. I am really concerned right now because I didn't talk with him last night and I was busy during the day, I just have the feeling that he is not good. I slept without talking to him last night this thing doesn't sit well with me, I know I have been distant lately but it doesn't mean I stopped caring about him. Yes I am having a load of work and I know I should create time for him, I am feeling guilty when I talk with him because I don't know how to feel about this long distance relationship. I am trying hard to cope and I know he is not coping, I hate it. Everytime I talk with him he tells me how much he misses me and it gets to me that I can't see him and I miss him alot. I can't stand to listen to those words daily while I have nothing to do over the situation. When I hear his voice I just wish to see him or hold him, it hurts me that we are apart. I wonder how does he cope with this all by himself. I am feeling guilty that I had to leave him behind and things on his side doesn't add up. I love him with all my heart and I pledged to myself to be faithful to my man. We are used to be together, I am used to be with him so this long distance is killing me. I was deep in my thoughts when I receive a text from Tinyiko, she's a friend from my class, well we are not that close I am still trying to fit in but her lifestyle is the one that makes it hard for me to fit in. I was about to open the text when she calls.

Monica: Tinyiko

Tinyiko: Hey Clara we are going out to night, please join us

Monica: You know I don't like going out

Tinyiko: Just come you wont regret it

Monica: Who are you going out with?

Tinyiko: Patrick and Samuel

Monica: Another set up

Tinyiko: If it was a set up I wouldn't tell you

Monica: I told you I am not interested

Tinyiko: They are interested in you, it's so unfair that you don't give them a chance

Monica: I love my man and I will be forever with him so all your tricks is just like wasting your time

Tinyiko: Okay I respect that

Monica: Thank you

Tinyiko: So please just come and join us

Monica: I want to start with the assignment

Tinyiko: The one that due after two weeks?

Monica: I am dedicated to my work we both know that

Tinyiko: Come on just one night out won't make a difference to your school work

Monica: I am sorry I have to be busy with something, we will chat tomorrow

Tinyiko: But Monica!!

I hanged up, I tried to call him again, Something is off here.
