Never Will I Ever

Ep3.| Stupid Walker

"Lena"

"Mm? ugh Get your hands of me" I groaned into the sheets

"Wake up, your friend is worried about you."

I snapped out of my laziness.

My eyes felt reluctant to open even though my mind knew best to do so. The body was not willing.

"Wake up Lena, or you want me to do it?" I could feel the stupid smirk on his face even with my eyes closed

"No thanks Emmanuel I'll pass" my eyes reluctantly flew open ungraciously landing of him, To my surprise he didn't look angry which made me feel a bit uneasy, I was just used to his angry facials.

"You know; you can take a picture. It last longer" I rolled my eyes at his remark

"That's old school walker, I thought you could do better"

"When you say better you mean joining you in my own bed?"

That definitely did the magic

I crumpled out of his bed as fast as my body could unfortunately knocking him down leaving me in such an awkward position on top of him

For the first time I took clearly of his physical appearance. His face looked hard and firm with his blue eyes a little dull. His lips were well I can't put to words but I could tell how soft it was just by staring at them.

"We could continue on my bed" shit

I unsuccessfully tried to get off him which made it more complicated. I narrowed my eyes at him once I noticed what he was trying to do.

"Walker get your hands off me!"

"Feisty are we?" I didn't miss the evil smile that crept at the corner of his lips. I sighed obviously getting ready for action

A girl got to do what she got to do. I bit him

I couldn't stop the smile that held my cheeks in a parallel way. Damn I was good, I took the que when his hands drop from my sides and got off him

"f**k! you cannibal!" And there he looked angry. Now that was comforting.

My smile widened at the sight of him holding his nose in an attempt to lessen the pain. Yes I bit his nose.

Finding Gifty wasn't easy. Slamming Bodies with sweaty horny teenagers was another story to tell.

Finally, I saw her chatting up some dude I thought I had seen him before. I made my way to them

"Hey" I tapped her on her shoulder as she instinctively turned to face me.

"Lena! Where on earth have you been? I've been searching all around for you!" I could smell her frustration

I don't blame her, she brings me here to have fun and I just go and sleep. Who does that?

Then again I am not entirely surprised considering I’m the only girl that does that. What did she expect from a girl who does not plan on getting married just to prove the world girls don't need boys to be happy?

"I’m so sorry I had to-”

"She was with me" I turned to the familiar voice a little glad he saved me from telling a lie but also not happy knowing Gifty won't shut up about it.

"Oh"

That's what she could say? Just oh?

"I’m sorry if I took her away for long" ugh if only he could shut up!

I've had never seen Gifty run out of words before considering she'd always do the talking and shut me up every time, it really was a golden moment

"S-ure I am; I mean it's fine " she rushed the last part like she's scared she'll fumble over that too

Emmanuel turned to me face front giving me a tight smile, off course I reciprocated the smile just that a little mischievous. " We still have unfinished business Lena; we would do well to continue from where we left off"

"Oh walker, I'd gladly repeat every second that next time"

With my winning smile I took hold of Gifty and left the scene all too proud of myself for making him burn with range within but not failing to murmur my remark smirking down at him. stupid walker.

"You went to his room? wait! wait, can you go over all again?"

Great! Now I was being tormented by Gifty. This was the third time telling her what happened!

I signed obviously worn out.

"I'm not going over anything, I am tired. Let’s just go home and sleep okay?"

She looked at me for a moment before rolling her eyes "Typical you" she murmured.

"That's because I am me" I retorted

"Lame"

"That's not going to change my mind sweetie"

She rolled her eyes again. “Why are you so boring? It’s like you don't- she shrugged, just let yourself be"

"This is who I am gift and you know it. why are you trying to make it so bad? it's like you want to change everything about me just love me for me"

She turned to me halting our walk

"I am not trying to change you, I am just saying you should meet people get comfortable with them and all"

"Gifty I can't be like you okay? Let’s drop it" I just didn't want to argue with her. If she's fine being miss. friendly and all- cool but she should let me be..

I got home a little disturbed about our little chat. I've known her like forever but sometimes it just feels like she wants me to be like her, do what she does, think her way and understand her every predicament because she's her.

Opening the door, I met my mother making herself coffee. she turned to look at me

"You're back"

"Yes “I said trying to escape any conversation

"How was the party?"

"Good"

"How good?"

Really? Now we're acting all parental? I mentally questioned.

"Just good" I shrugged. "I am going to my room, where's Qwesi?"

"He's asleep"

"Okay, I’m going to bed" I forced a smile at her and left for my brother's room.

He was fast asleep. He looked so innocent, My baby brother, my only strength

My brother had been the only reason for staying strong. I didn't want him going through what I woke up to, he's the only breath that keeps me from committing suicide or going crazy. I want him to be happy, live a better life and I promise to give him all.

I gently kissed his forehead and left the room to mine. After my shower I fell flat on my ever welcoming bed. The events of the day came rushing back. The mornings and the nightmares, the party, walker and-walker! I chuckled at the thought of having the last word. Oh God he looked like he Just chocked on a bone!

I smiled at the thought of meeting him again to continue where we left off. His words not mine.
