Torn between the Devil and Angel.

Overthinking

My day was extremely stressful and I obtained an injury, the game was good, a lot of my shot sank in, but I'm so stressed. The beautiful thing about chatting with Marshall, is that he always goes into details.

He asked " how my day went ", I narrated the summary of my day, I told him about Jade and the fact that she refused to give me food.

He sent a laughing emoji and told me" I should have stolen it ",I narrated how I came back late and my mom was extremely pissed ,he consoled me and told me he knew how it worked with oakish parents,he tried giving me tips on how to handle them , but I was adamant on listening, he gave up eventually ,after calling me a stubborn lass.

I kept grinning like a schoolgirl , I clearly was having the best time of my life , he told me of a competition, he had to go for, next week and how rigorous he has been training

The competition was supposed to be in lagal, which was so far from Oakish. He said that their college was sponsoring the competition and that this competition meant a lot to his basketball career, obviously, basketball wasn't just a hobby or anything, he was looking forward to having it as a career.

Just as I was about to wish him good luck, my favorite music came on, wondering how it started playing because apparently, I didn't turn on my music or anything, it was so loud that she jumped up, she picked up her phone in an attempt to silence the disturbance when she realized it was her alarm.

If it was an alarm that means I was sleeping and if I was sleeping, it certainly meant I had been dreaming, but that conversation was way too real, not to have happened. Still, in denial, I turned on my data and went to my Grima app, Grima took way to open, it's funny how time doesn't pass when you are in haste, but scarcely moves when one isn't.

I waited patiently and tried not to panic, finally, Grima opened and I had zero notifications, I was convinced that the network was terrible, I reloaded it and I had still had zero notification, I checked our chat and nothing like that transpired, my message hasn't still be read, I sent him a message earlier, it read thus, "busy day huh ?" precisely as I was about to start getting miserable, a notification came in.

I knew deep down, it was alike because I made a new post, the previous day. I picked up my phone and for the first time, I was so glad, I was so wrong.It was a message from him.

I couldn't dance to save my life, but I got up and started to twerk, it was so funny ,I quickly tucked back into my blanket, he said "yes,I was stressed,I slept immediately I laid on my bed", my mood went from zero to one hundred and one,i was so content.

We kept talking about everything and anything.My mother surprisingly didn't have an issue with whatever time I walked, as shocking as it might be ,I know it will later bite me in the butt,I'm just here savouring every single moment until it blows up in my face.

Tucked in tightly in my blanket ,I kept grinning and talking with him, felt bold and asked him to take a selfie for me , he was so hesitant at first, kept complaining about how cold he was,I sent a crying emoji and that was enough to convince him, for he told he will be right back.

Waiting is something I really hate to do, according to the clock on my wall, he had been gone for only two minutes, but that two minutes felt like two hours, I was just about saying he should just disregard the message when a notification came in

I quickly picked up the phone with shaky hands, it was him, he said you asked for a selfie, but here is a 10seconds video, network decided to be a good boy and try and mess with my patience, the video opened almost immediately

I threw my phone on the bed immediately I saw the video, he sent me, the content of the video was way too much than I could take, he was shirtless and it was so much prettier than I ever imagined, he wore a layered neckpiece, the longer one had a pendant, that was shaped like a cross, the shorter one laid so comfortably on it ,one will almost think it was just one piece of necklace, his skin was glowing literally, what killed me was when he smiled and used his teeth to hold the bottom of his lips

There is something about holding the bottom of your lips between your teeths and releasing it really slowly ,I find it really hot and now I found it even more hotter because he did it.

I can't tell just about how many times I watched the video,i kept watching it until my phone said the "video is no longer available to be played".I checked our chat and discovered that the video wasn't there again, I asked him why he deleted and he said"it was probably the way I sent it,I'm so sorry,let me send you another one".

He sent it quite faster than the last one, but it didn't have as much effect as the previous one did.The reason why it didn't have any effect on me was pretty much obvious,he was wearing a white shirt and he didn't smile,he kept playing with his eyebrows, moving them really fast, one after the other , which I thought was really cute ,I told him I preferred the previous and he teased about liking him shirtless

I told him that he deserved to be arrested,he was like"whatever for ?"i told him nobody this fine was allowed to be this fine and move around freely .He sent two laughing emoji and expressed his gratitude.At first , he thought I meant he had to be arrested for teasing me.

He let me on his plans for day , asides having classes he loathed,which was fixed by the way because we were obviously on break,he had to ball later that day ,which he was pretty much excited about.He majored in chemistry and as much as he hated school , this degree was pretty much important to him.

Curiosity got the best part of me and I asked why basketball?, he explained how basketball has just been it for him , for a long time.Growing up and all , it was how he dealt with pain.He told me , he wasn't always this good looking,which I found really hard to believe, he had a really big head and was mocked about it by his classmates then.

He revealed that his Dad was a baller and he took him one day to the court, immediately after school.He told me that he felt like he was in the midst of giants that day, and then that was when he fell in love with it.

For years, he followed his Dad to the court,he was not allowed to play yet but he always tagged along, the criteria for going to the court by 5pm,was doing his homework,he closed school at 3pm , before he got home and had lunch, it will already be few minutes after 5pm.

I didn't take the fact that he was sharing the story of his childhood with me , he told me that he was left several times , so after awhile he developed a strategy , he would do his homework in the class during the break while his classmates were playing.He was way too young to understand the game but he knew he liked spending time with his Dad, plus there was always added benefits.

I kinda knew there was an ulterior motive,enjoyed spending time with his father my butt!!!,his words not mine,I laughed so hard until I started coughing,I asked what added benefits?he said chocolates,ice cream, chicken wings, hamburgers,cookies which must be finished in the car and not to be spoken of at home.

Although, I no longer go to the court with my old man, the court is just my safe spot, have a lot of friends, love the spot.Although I watch football,I just do that to pass time , I have not honestly finished any match, Marshall said.

He asked what sport I liked and my foolish brain decided to say Basketball, I am honestly not a sport person but Basketball was a bit tolerable,I didn't say I liked because of him,but I am sure it looked like that,I mean my male best friend was a baller.He apologized that he had to go and start preparing for school and that we were going to talk later.

The fact that he said we will talk later, melted my heart,it simply means he found me interesting, enough to look forward to talking to.My day moved quite slowly if you will ask,I did absolutely nothing but lay all day in bed,i was home alone and I was extremely bored

I watched movies,I listened to songs, nothing was working, slept a little bit,I decided to take pictures,I wore an ash oversized and had only panties under,I took the pictures and I did a video, of me virtually embarrassing myself,I tried to twerk but it wasn't working.

I decided to do my laundry, since nothing seemed interesting to me, I had piled up my laundry and hated having dirty clothes, I was certainly going to wash them manually because our washing machine was faulty and has not being fixed, ever since.

After I was done with my laundry, I was extremely stressed , so I laid down on my bed and picked up my phone,I turned up my mobile data, just as I was about to click on the Grima ,I had my a loud horn, My mother was outside the gate , I opened the gate and we exchanged pleasenties,I had to serve her lunch , which she cooked before leaving the house earlier, rice and curry has always been my mum's favourite.

I picked up my phone, I decided to send the video to Marshall, but I had to make sure it was something I could send to him , so I asked a couple of people ,I sent the video to both Frida and Lauren.Frida was offline but Lauren wasn't ,actually Lauren is my course mate and she was kinda good at this kind of things

I explained to Lauren, the circumstances surrounding the video and she said to send it to him.He was online and I told him, I made a really foolish video and I wanted to show him but I was scared of embarrassing myself, he wanted to see it regardless, I sent him a selfie and but he wasn't having it , he wanted the video.Network decided to do its usual thing and be bad, I tried sending it severally,it didn't connect.

My overthinking brain didn't give me a break either, I kept thinking" what if I made a fool out of myself, "what if that and what if this ",so many what if's kept going to my head but the most prominent one was what if he saw me as a slut or a friends with benefits kinda girl.I wouldn't be bothered if I was seen by other guys like that , but I wanted something real with this.

There was no way out of this situation ,I had to send the video regardless of how I felt,when I thought of changing it ,since apparently he didn't know the content of the video and won't sense any foul play.I realized that he has viewed it.I couldn't hold my phone anylonger,I quickly dropped it on my dressing table.
