Chapter 11

Stella was persistent, she wants to know where I was last night. She has her hand on her waist ready to hear me speak and I didn't give any indication that I'd speak

She pouted " really? You won't say anything ?"

I rolled my eyes " I was upstairs where else ?"

She shook her head at me " but why didn't I see you. When I got upstairs, all the rooms were occupied with people having s*x except you are among them "

She got me right there " I don't know what you're talking about "

" Don't play games with me, Ella. I know you didn't go home last night so where the hell did you spend the night? I tried calling your line but it was switched off"

I shrugged " that's because I didn't want any disturbance. I was already asleep"

" I don't know why I find it hard to believe" she gave me a look " you were with someone, my instinct tells me you were with someone last night," Said and came right beside me.

Stella sniffed the air like a dog " you smell different "

" Are you now a dog?"

She glared at me " don't call me that "

" Then stop acting like this. What is it with I smell differently? I'm always like this so I don't understand what you are talking about "

She seems annoyed " you want to hide things from me now? I thought we share secrets so why is yours an exception? "

I groaned " please stop making me look like the bad b***h"

" Of course you're the bad b***h. You're being mean to me" she pouted.

I let out a frustrated sigh " okay fine. You were right"

" Finally she speaks. You were with a guy, right? "

I furrowed my brows at her " stop making it sound as if I was w*****g myself "

" Oh please! We all know you are a good girl so you've got nothing to worry about " she pinched my cheeks like a small girl

" Hey" I swat her hands away.

Stella laughed hard " so tell me what happened last night in detail. Don't you dare miss a point"

I rolled my eyes then lay flat on the bed. We were having a girl's time at my house. I'm sure she wanted to make up for ditching me the last night " tell me please " she was staring at me.

" I gave it away Stella" I blurted out.

" Gave what away? " She asked confused. Aside from my mom, she was the only one that knew I was a virgin.

" Do I need to spell that out ?" I rolled my eyes.

Realization dawn on her " you've got to be kidding me. who?! How ?! When?! "

" Calm down"

" I can't keep calm. This is one of the best news ever. My friend is now a big girl" she teased while I rolled my eyes at her.

When she finally got herself together, I continued.

" He is someone you know," I said.

She looks confused " someone I know? Alex?"

" God no! Not him"

I could see the relief on her face. I knew she has something for Alex.

"Then who?"

" Zion"

" What?!" She yelled.

I expected her to be calm about it but she seems mad, really mad " how can he do that to you?!"

" Calm down Stella. He didn't do it forcefully. We both agreed to it " I tried explaining

" But he should have known better to ask for my permission first," she said but I think there was more meaning to what she said.

" I don't get you, you aren't my mother so why would he ask for your permission? I thought we agreed last night that we will enjoy ourselves and whatever happened stays there so why are you acting like this now? "

Stella rubbed the bridge of her nose " it's different Ella. If it was another guy I wouldn't mind but Zion is a different case "

" Why is he a different case? "

She was hesitant " just forget it "

I scoffed " the hell I'll forget it. You better tell me all I need to know " I sat upright.

She let out a sigh " Zion is a player "

I shrugged " I know "

" I don't want you to feel sad but the truth is he never gets into a relationship after he lost his girlfriend"

But I thought he said he wasn't single.

" Is girlfriend died?"

Stella nodded " I know how you get attached to people in time and I also know how it feels when you give out your most cherished gift to someone. I don't want you to end up getting hurt, Ella. Please don't make the mistake of falling for Zion, you'll only end up getting hurt in the process"

People change " what if the reverse is the case? What if he ends up falling for me? "

" Then I'll be glad "

" I know you are only after my well-being and I admire that. I knew from the start that Zion is a player so have your mind at peace I'm not in love with him. Quite alright we might have gotten acquainted but I'm not stupid to fall so easily" I told her. What I said hurts a lot but she doesn't need to know that.

" Are you sure ?" Stella asked.

I nodded " absolutely"

She pulled me for a hug " I want the best for you Ella and I know you'll find the one "

I pretended as if I wasn't pained. I withdrew from the hug then asked " where were you last night also?"

Stella blushed " you know that guy we saw yesterday?"

" Fred's friend?" I asked

" Yeas him"

" Woo! Someone is blushing" I teased " tell me everything that happened"

Stella chuckled " nothing much. He took me to a restaurant. I remembered telling him I was hungry then he said to me he has this perfect place he'd like to take me too and you know I don't always deny offers especially when it comes to food."

I giggled " I know right. So what happened next?"

" Well he told me more about himself and he has this little business he is running. He looks like a good guy but I still don't see myself with him. We might have shared a kiss here and there but the spark isn't there at all. " She sighed

I understand how she feels. It's always annoying when you don't have a connection with someone that loves you and the idea of forcing the connection seems like a bad idea. I won't suggest such action to anyone because that person might end up getting hurt in the process.
