Chapter 28: Chapter 28
Mari
I tossed around in bed, I was feeling hot. About ten minutes ago I was literally shivering and gnashing teeth because of cold. That was before I took my drugs. Just five minutes later I threw off the blankets and now I'm feeling like I should pour cold water on my body
I stepped down from the bed and removed my socks, head warmer and scarf. I also stepped out of my cotton pyjama trousers that my mom gave me and out of my sweater too. I resulted to wearing only my undies and I then opened my window and removed my blankets from the bed. I laid down face up and breathed in. I was feeling tired.
The telephone in the room rang and I got up. I picked it and it was Eliza
hey girl! How are you doing tonight?
I'm fine. How are you?
I got into a fight with that Chinese girl again
you know she knows Kung Fu right?
haha. You're crazy. Just because she's from China doesn't mean she actually knows Kung Fu. Of course I beat her ass
Did you get any injuries?
yes. A finger scratch on my back
good for you
haha. So how are you doing? You're better, right?
yes I am. I already took my drugs
okay, just to check up on you. Be a good girl
I should be the one telling you that
whatever! Good night Mari. If there's anything I'm forgetting, I'll call you back
sure. Good night
I dropped the telephone and went back to the bed. Just as I was about to lie down it rang again. Oh Eliza! Has she remembered something so quickly?
I picked up and sat down on stool
hello
Goldilocks
OH my God! Wilbur
hi
hi
how are you doing tonight? How do you feel?
hot
you feel hot?
I was feeling really cold few minutes ago but after I took my drugs, I threw my blankets out.
are you serious? Wow! So what are you wearing now?
I didn't answer. How will I tell him I'm wearing my undies?
Marigold.... Are you naked?
what? No. No I'm not
I heard a car door closing in the background
okay. You're going to prove you're not naked
and how?
I want you to come outside in the next ten seconds
ten seconds. In ten seconds. But why?
your time starts now
okay.
I hung up and sighed. Just to come outside. Thank God it's not too late
I quickly threw an old dress on. It was quite big on me and really old.
I went outside and saw Wilbur leaning against his car. I suspected that a little so I'm not too surprised but I wish I had worn something better
He flashed a smile at me and I sheepishly walked to him. He stretched his hand and I placed my hand in it then he squeezed my hand
“hey” he cooed and I bit my lower lip without replying
He looked at my dress
“you remind me of my mother's childhood picture with that dress” he said and I bust out laughing
“if you wanna tease me, go ahead” I said and he chuckled.
“so you were calling me from outside” I said
“I was actually in my room by my window, drinking when I called you. Then I decided to just see you”
“wait... Your house is quite far from here, you definitely flied here”
“I guess. I'm a fast driver” he said and lifted my chin up
“Goldie”
I stared at him
“will you... Will you attend a pool party? At my house, this weekend” he said
“a pool party?”
“Yes”
“you're hosting a pool party and you want me to come?”
“it's a private one. Just Wini and I”
“OH. Thank God! I thought all the celebrities were gonna be there. I would have said no”
“which means you're saying yes?”
“yeah. I'll come as long as Eliza follows me this time”
“I was gonna invite her too.”
I smiled and leaned against the car with him.
“let's go out” he said
“no. I don't wanna”
“we're not actually going somewhere. I just wanna drive you around. Let's go pleasure driving”
“hmm, so we're not getting out of the car right?”
“you're not” he said and opened the door
“okay, let me lock the door”
“don't change the dress” he said as I walked to the door. I chuckled and entered inside, took my key and got out then locked the door
“let's go” I said as I approached him. He held my hand and walked me to the door then opened it. I got in, he shut it then entered through the other side.
Wini
I chuckled to myself as I looked over the pool side. It looked good. There was a long table with different food and snacks just by the flowers.
There was a barbecue stand close to the table.
There was a stool close to the barbecue stand with a big blue bowl of ice and drinks including some bottles of nonalcoholic wine.
Just opposite the pool were beds and umbrellas just in case the sun got hotter.
In the pool, there are huge balloons for playing.
I can't wait for Mari to come over. I plan to tell Eliza about my matchmaking. She has to help me.
I entered inside and showered but still sat down to wait for Will to get back with the girls.
Few minutes later, he texted me that they were already here and that the girls had gone to change.
I ran up and wore my bikini.
This is going to be superb!
