The Love Of Mine

CHAPTER 11: MR. POKER

When I wake up, it takes a moment for me to remember I slept over at Chris’s place. The sun is shining around and directly to my face, the light almost blinding me. I sit up quickly. I look around the room and I can’t find Chris. He must have woken up before me.

“Chris,” I said quietly. It sounds weird calling his name. We didn't introduce each other, but he called me by my name yesterday. I got up from the bed and wiped my eyes. I walked toward the bathroom to wash my face, then I saw myself in the giant mirror in front of the wardrobe. My hair was such a mess. Did he see me like this?

I really hope he didn’t watch me sleeping, I look like some kids played with my hair all night. I used my hands to brush through my hair while still staring at myself in the mirror.

“Hey.” I jumped and looked back. Chris was standing with coffee in hands looking at me.

We look like the complete opposite of each other, even his early morning face looks perfect, while I looked like a clown.

“Hey” said back, waving my hands awkwardly.

“You care for some coffee? He asked me while still staring at me like he was studying my face. I understand him. I wasn't really the morning type, but this is way too worse, I wasn’t the coffee type. I preferred sweet tea, but I took the coffee anyway. I took a sip and I liked it. Maybe it was Chris's effect, but this is the best coffee I have tasted.

“Can we talk?” He asked me and I shake my head wondering what he wanted to talk about.

So, about yesterday, you were crying. Can you tell me what happened, or you still don’t want to talk about it? I looked at him, my hands, staring deep into his green eyes. What do I tell him? I really don’t want to talk about Princewill anymore, and I would probably block him once I get to my dorm.

“Hmm… I don’t really want to talk about it?” I said, looking down.

“Okay, he said quickly, I won’t bring it up anymore.”

Can I ask you a question too? I looked up at him again.

“Sure why not? I sat down on the bed while he sat on the edge of the couch in his room, which is kind of filled with clothes and caps.

“Why did you follow me on i********: and when I unfollowed you, why did you do the same? Finally, I feel relieved that I've been wanting to ask him this question since I saw him at the school gate.

“Well technically you followed me back first! He said, blushing, and I didn’t even know you unfollowed me. Now I feel kind of hurt.” Why did you unfollow me, though?

“Your fans were sending me death threats, saying stuff about my mum and my comments were filled with hate comments, just because you followed me.

“Oh s**t, I didn’t know that, I didn’t even have the time to go through your comment. I am so sorry, I hope you are okay and that’s not the reason you cried.

“No,” I said quickly, I didn’t cry because of that. I feel bad now I know that he didn’t know his delusional fans did all that to me.

I got to my dorm room first, my friends weren’t back yet, Chris dropped me off in front of my dorm even though I told him no. Thankfully, there wasn’t many girls around when I came down. If not, I don't know how they would have reacted.

Getting to know Chris, he wasn’t as bad as people portrayed him to be, he even followed me after we talked. Now those girls can leave me alone! I took a long breath.

I received a notification, so I checked, it was an i********: message from an account Mr. Poker I clicked on it.

“ This is Chris, I followed you back with my secret account, he sent the shush emoji”

I looked at the profile picture, and it was also a shush emoji, I decided to text him back,

“ Lol okay”

“Follow me back and don’t unfollow me.” That was quick.

“Okay I replied.” Then I followed him. I don't know why he created another page to follow me, but it was kind of funny, and it made me blush.

Just then my friends came back, they were dressed up in normal outfits, probably they took their baths and changed there.

“Watsup, Ella said as she walked in. She sat down on her bed, putting down her bags and removing her heels.

Stephanie as usual came to lay down on my bed, I don’t know why she loves my bed so much. You got us scared for real when Ella told us what happened last night.

“And you slept over at Chris’s place!” Victoria said blushing. Time for some explanation.

Oh lawd, it’s about to be a long ass day of me explaining how I went from hating Chris to ending up on the same bed as him.

“But firstly, how did you get from San Francisco to the school gate by that time what happened with Princewill.” Ella asked concerned.

“It’s a long story, just thinking about it makes me feel so stupid, but I guess I have to talk about it.” So basically, Princewill has a crazy ass girlfriend I almost got beat up.

“Wow” they all said in unison.

Yeah, so let me start from the beginning of the whole issue, I saw a female earring on the floor, it pricked my toe I didn’t say anything because it might probably be for his female friends or something. Then we started kissing and all, and we almost had s*x, I slowed down in that part.

“That dude is crazy, Stephanie said”

“Let her finish first. Victoria cuts in” So he stood up to get the condoms, and he opened a drawer, it was filled with different colors of condom.

“Oh s**t, is he like a porn star or something, I knew that dude was SUS when he just wants you to come over without and was avoiding asking you out.” Stephanie said again.

Just that thought alone of we having s*x and me finding out he had a girlfriend, sends shiver down me, I would probably not get over it.

“So when did his girlfriend come in?”

“I am getting there, so he was still kissing me and all, but I wasn’t feeling it again I was like so scared, he was like a total different person like he was kissing me roughly and all, I wanted him to stop, but I didn’t know how to tell him to.”

“So basically, he could have hurt you or do something bad to you” Victoria asked me.

“I don’t know, but everything just felt rushed and like he only wanted me to come over, so he can have s*x with me”

“He is such an asshole.”

“Yeah he is, his girlfriend came at the right time though she threw stuffs at me, then Princewill had the nerve to ask me if we were dating when I got upset.”

“Nah, are you serious?

“I am serious, that part hurt the most because he said he sees me like his little sister.” Surprisingly, I am not crying again, I just feel angry thinking about it.

“So does he have s*x with his sister? I wish he was close by, I would have punched him so hard in his balls.” Victoria said angrily, We all laughed so hard.

“I had to leave I couldn’t stay with him anymore, then when I got to the school gate, the security guys didn’t allow me in.

“For real, I thought they were joking when they said by 10pm you can’t come in. So imagine we came back yesterday, we would have had to go back.”

“Thank Goodness we stayed back, Stephanie said.

“Perks of living inside the school, they control everything you do.” Chris is so nice for taking you to his place.

“Yeah he is, I said slowly”

“You see they are not that bad as people portray them to be” Stephanie said I know someone will say this.

“So what are you going to do with Princewill, has he sent any message? Did he beg you or something.”

"I blocked him already, I don’t want to know what he has to say. You know what, I am kind of at fault."

“How? Because you went to see him?”

“No, Princewill did something when we were still growing up, we recently just made up.”

“What did he do?”

“So my best friend Susan and Princewill were chatting online then we were just thirteen, and he was fourteen, he sent her a picture of his private not only that he asked her to send hers too. Susan then told me, about it because she was with me when he sent it, so I asked her to tell him she was with me, so she can’t send anything to him. They were still chatting when I slept off because then my phone was faulty, and I didn’t have anything to do because my female bestfriend were chatting with my male best friend.

“Do you know what Princewill asked her to do?

“What? Victoria said almost quickly, she was too engrossed in the story.”

“Just continue, I am not good at guessing”

“Okay, as I slept off they were still chatting Susan went to the bathroom and took some pictures and sent them to him, then he asked her to take a picture of me while I was sleeping too.”

“A picture of what you were sleeping or what do you mean.”

“A picture of my boobs too, she should draw my tops up and take a picture of my boobs, my boobs were literally still growing then.”

“What? And we forgave him?” I nodded my head.

“ We didn’t talk for like years because of that incident until Susan left to school then I was bored, and we just kept running into each other I decided to forgive him since it happened when we were still growing up and trying to understand our body. He told me it was the hormones that got to him.”

“I, personally, wouldn’t have let that slide though, now see he hasn’t even changed he probably takes you for a fool since forgave him and even liked him.

“Yeah, now that I think about it, I really shouldn’t have forgiven him and even started crushing on him. He just became finer, and he seemed like a better person.”

“Girl, just shut up” Just the thought alone makes me so mad, he is one sick motherfucker.”

“Let’s just quit talking about him, thankfully he didn’t get what he wants.”

“Back to Chris, so how are you guys going.”

“He actually unfollowed me back and texted me with another account.”

“Wow,” Ella said, blushing. Just like those w*****d stories I read.

“Nah, stop, it’s nothing serious. He just felt bad about what his fans did.”

“Hmm…. Let’s see how it goes.”

I shake my head, and I looked at my phone and I tapped on the screen I saw some notifications from i********: I tapped on it.

“Five new messaged from Mr. Poker."
