Restored

Let's be friends

Alex

I didn't know if I should be angry at Johnny or not. He said i should stay away from women but did he have to embarrasse me infront of Molly.

"Johnny, what was the meaning of that?" I asked when he was beside me.

"I should be asking you that. Don't tell me two months of being away from women has made you forget who Molly is?" He retorted

"I don't remember talking to you about her. I knew her before today." I replied sharply.

"Then you should know why I pulled you away. Are you drunk?" He asked.

"No" I screamed back.

"Are you trying to tell me you don't know Ashley's cousin is androphobic?"

This shocked me. I almost shouted that we made love yesterday but I was rendered speechless after this revelation. She is the same Molly I dreaded meeting months ago after I learnt of her.

I was so confused now. Has she over her fears now or what?

"I need to hear this from her. I don't believe this." I said sharply

"So you didn't know?"

"I don't know her address, can you give it to me?" I asked pleadingly.

"I will ask Ashley first. See you around." Johnny said

"I came with a taxi, I plan on spending the weekend with you." I said with a grin

He threw the key at me and moved to the passenger's side of the car. Deep down i wanted to know more about Molly. Not just her address but her hobbies,her favourites and everything. I really wanted to know her. What made her androphobic? I asked myself through out the drive. After parking I waited in the car for awhile. I got down just when the lights in Johnny's room was switched on.

Just as i had guessed, he left his phone on the tea table to go change. I stole Ashley's contact and rushed of to my room. I hardly come here but my room was clean as usual and smelling great.

I got to work and texted Ashley. She willing gave me Molly's details without questioning me.

*********

I have been waiting for over an hour. Ashley told me Molly closes at 4pm on Mondays so I came an hour earlier in case of an emergency closure. The noise from the other side of the car park woke me up. I saw Ashley try to go through the crowd. From where I was in the car i couldn't do anything so I went over.

Someone was definitely screaming, thank God for my height i could see the center of the crowd and there she stood. Molly was shaking and crying. A look of fear all over her face. I wanted to get close but someone stopped me. I looked at him questionly.

"You will worsen her case." He said softly

All the guys around were far and she was surrounded by ladies. She started throwing her arms. She was scared and didn't want anyone to touch her. She looked like a kid who has seen a doctor pull out a syringe. I looked at the hand holding me back and on impulse I pushed it away and walked towards her. She looked in my direction and it seemed she was going to explode.

I didn't see how it happened but she ran into my arms. She put her arms around me tightly. Everyone looked surprised. I was shocked too. Did she put up that act or what?

"Get me out of here please." She whispered

"Okay Molly"

They made way for us and the murmurings got louder as we got near my car. Ashley followed silently. What just happened here?

I was so confused. I really wanted to know what caused this but it didn't look like Molly was ready to talk.
