Three: The cat should have been away for the mice to play
>> >>
Josh had been such a sweetheart while I was not coming to school under the pretence of being sick. He had taken notes for me, and he never takes notes, ever. He had even recorded some classes in case I would ve interested in hearing what had happened.
Even though I refused to see him most days during my "sick" phase, that did not make him like me less at all.
I had several assignments to do as a consequence for missing two weeks of classes, but that did not matter to Celine, now did it?
Instead of helping me finish up with the assignments, she only derailed me and she surely enjoyed doing it.
Here we were, at her house like she said it would be the case. Being inside the house felt so different after I was cooped up in my room for two weeks.
Wait... That was not why it felt different at all. It felt different because I had done something in this house that I was not supposed to do.
Still, I could not regret it enough to feel like I would undo it if I was given the chance to.
For some reason, it felt like it was something that had to happen.
James and Celine were already dancing to some salsa music and drinking tequila shots while Josh and I stayed on the couch. My excuse for not drinking was that I did not feel good, but Celine would not let me be. After saying no several times to her, I finally sighed and reached for the drink she poured me and took some sips.
It was cream liquor, which was basically what had me going crazy two weeks ago, but here I was.
"You shouldn't be drinking!" Josh said to me before grabbing my glass.
"You're right babe!" I responded before I took the glass from his hand and finished it.
"I need to use the bathroom. Don't look for me or you'll ruin the surprise!" I whispered in his ear and he eagerly nodded before letting me leave. Celine and James were too busy with their open foreplay to even realise that I left the room.
I walked up to Anthony's room and hesitated with opening the door for a bit.
What if he is home and Celine just lied?
Yeah right!
I could not believe that I was actually such a big coward.
I opened the door and walked in. His bed was made and everything was in place and proper like it always was. I had so much work to do to be able to match his level of organisation and cleanliness.
I could definitely do it though!
I immediately ran to his closet and took a whiff of some of his clothes. They smelled like his cologne, very enticing to me.
Should I leave an apology letter for him to find here?
I thought about it for a second before deciding I would do no such thing. What if Celine found it before him? I would have too much explaining to do!
"You will be the woman of this house soon!" I said to myself. I was delusional in every sense of the word, but I thrived on my delusions because I actually believed in them.
I could already imagine spending nights here with him!
As I thought about him laying in this bed next to me, I threw myself on it and rolled around.
"which side do you sleep on, my handsome man?" I wondered out loud as I stared at the ceiling.
I was trying to contain my excitement but I just felt like screaming.
So, I buried my scream by laying down with my face flat. Then, I let it all out and finally giggled to myself.
My smile was immediately wiped off my face when I realised what I had done.
I had stained his bed. I had actually left his bed with clear stains of my makeup. In fact, you could make out a face from what was on the white bedding.
"f**k! What do I do?" I had to think quick. Changing the bedding felt too extra, so I just turned it over to the other side instead and hoped he would not notice.
I don't even know what possessed me to look out through his window, but I was glad that I did. From his window, it was clear to see the front of the house, and I saw his car pulling over in the drive way.
I rubbed my eyes in utter disbelief. Maybe it was another car? I thought to myself but hot proven wrong immediately.
"Holy s**t!" I yelled out when I saw him stepping out of the car.
I ran downstairs as quickly as I could and immediately turned the music off.
"He's here! He's here!" I yelled in panic and all Celine could do was yawn.
"Who? The pizza guy?" She laid against James's chest and I quickly grabbed her by the hair.
"You two, get lost! Hurry! Leave through the back door and jump over the fence!" I urged them and Celine just whimpered, making me realise that I was holding onto her hair too hard.
"Mr Miller is here! Celine, clean up all the bottles!" I hurried to grab what I could as well as clear up, shoving it all in the kitchen cupboards and hoping we would really get away with it.
"This can't do! You have to distract him! Josh's car is outside. James's too! Please! Drag him away from the yard so they can leave!" Celine begged me before she actually pushed me out of the house.
He was closer than I could have ever imagined.
He froze for a second when he saw me and I just mumbled" f**k, I'm screwed!" beneath my breath as he took the late three steps to be so close to me that I could not get away from him without walking into the house.
"You smell like alcohol.. What interesting thing do you have to say to me tonight? Or better yet, what will you do to me against my will tonight?" He had a smirk on his face so it was hard to tell whether or not he was furious at me
It was so confusing!
"What? Am I not allowed to enter my own house?" He asked me and I quickly shook my head at him but still didn't move.
I heard some glass shattering and immediately his brows furrowed together.
"Oh, so you are hiding something in there? Is that it?" He asked before he checked the time on his wrist watch.
"Get out of my way, Daniella, before I force you to!" He insisted and before he could grab me, I grabbed his hand and began running away from the house.
"You have to help me! There is a snake in my room and I don't know what to do with it!" I yelled dramatically while pulling him away from his house and up the street to mine.
"What?" He asked, but didn't hesitate to follow me. He was so tall and strong that he could have actually resisted if he wanted to and forced me to explain myself first, but he just let me drag him till we made it to the front of my house.
Celine and those boys needed to be so quick! I had no idea how long I would be able to keep him here!
"Why are we stopping. You didn't say the snake was on the porch!" He reminded me and I just gnawed on my lips before I took a deep breath.
Surely, I would regret doing this.
"Actually, I brought you here because I wanted us to talk about the incidence. That night two weeks ago." My heart was beating out of my chest but taking my words back was no option right now.
