Chapter 40: Chapter 40

• • • Sheila’s POV • • •

Indeed, you can't run for ever. I have been avoiding Mike since the incident at my place and everything has been going on well until today. Unfortunately, today is Monday and I must go to school and this implies a possibility of tumbling on Mike in class.

After contemplating for a while, I finally, move to class. I guess its time for me to face my fears. Surprisingly my seat is empty. I thought Natasha would have been seated there like she did last week but she's not. Maybe she changed her mind.

I seat while scanning the whole class with my eyes. I can't see Natasha nor Mike in class. Wow, I'm happy that Mike is not in class. But why will Natasha miss school?. I hope she hasn't returned to her old and bad habits. No, I don't think so. Or maybe she's sick or something…

After the two first courses, I finally deduce that Natasha won't show up against. It's late already and only one course is left for school to be over today. I don't think she will leave her house just to attend this one course.

I will be a bad friend if I don't go and check on her. But the last time I checked we were not more friends. I tell myself. Yet, after school I move out of the campus taking a cap straight to Natasha’s place. I hope she’s fine because I have a lot to tell her. I'm tired of keeping all these shits to myself and the worse that can happen is already happening.

“How are things going with her? Have she told you anything about us?” Natasha asks. She’s standing by the couch found in her living room facing a tall man and the door is open when I arrive.

“She’s kind of hard to get and It's not easy for me to get close to her, talkless of making her speak. Sheila is secretive and I'm sure you know that already if not you won't have send me to follow her. Now she thinks I'm a stalker.” he pouts.

“What? Mike, What the hell is going on here?” I barge into the room since the door is open. “So you sent him to follow me?. Don't you dare lie to me. I over hurt your discussion.” I yell.

“It's not what you think?” he moves closer and tries to clench my hand. I flinch and I give him a slap on the jaw “Luckily, I wasn't foolish enough to fall for it. You disgust me.” after pouting I move to Natasha and I'm just speechless.

“What did you expect me to do Sheila?. I was desperate and desperate situation calls for desperate means. More to this we have no friends in common; no one to go to” she get apprehensive so she start yelling more than me.

“I meant no harm.” her voice lowers as she speaks untill she ends up looking so pathetic.

“That's so selfish. Why didn't you come to me directly?. I'm so disappointed.” how could she do such a thing without even caring about my feelings.

“Oh, the last time I check it's your silence which let us here. So how the fuck could I think about coming to you directly when you never open up to me?” she yells again.

“Can you leave! Please?” I turn to Mike, who is still standing in the room hoping to get a chance to speak to me. “Okay...” he pulls his word while staring at Natasha. She barely nods her head and he immediately leaves.

I watch until he disappears then I take a quick deep breath and I turn back to Nat “I had sex with Freddy?” I look pathetic right now.

“Wow!. What?” her eyes broaden in shock. “No I mean, — WHAT? Are you crazy?” unfortunately the first “what” was too good to be real. “What the hell went over you?” she angrily roams around and this makes me more nervous.

“You see why I didn't want to tell you anything?” I frown.

“Oh, Sheila sorry for telling you the truth.” she says sarcastically then she suddenly stops and her looks get weird “Did he take advantage of you?. Where you in all your sense when all this sex thing happened?” then boom, she starts again with many questions without giving me the space to answer.

“No, oh. I provoked it?” I finally manage to offer a word. “What?” she immediately stops talking and she fixes me with a deadly glance “Why the hell will you do such a thing? There are many other guts out here?” she pouts.

“I don't know. It's just happened. It's not like I planned or something. And I'm happy that I've finally given up on this burden called virginity.” I try to console myself.

“Why?” Nat is still under shock “Why Freddy, why did you tell me when it happened? Sheila, why?” she’s frowning. “Stop asking Why? It sucks.”

“I don't want to suck, I'm shocked. I respect your decision but I don't understand why you still went for Freddy after all that I told you about him.” she honestly says.

“It just happened!” I insist. “When did it happen?” she asks. I have a long breath. I'm here to say the truth and only the truth. Then I start speaking “It was the day after your dad’s party. Before you say anything listens. The day before he sent me a relationship contract that stipulated that without signing we can't have sex.”

“I hope you didn't sign that?” she cuts me. “Of course not but what I did is worse. The next day I went to his room flung the contract on the table and we had sex. It's only later that's he discovered that I didn't sign the papers and now he's mad at me.” I'm is ashamed of me.

“OMG, Sheila, I thought I was crazy but you are insane girl… Hahaha… No matter what you are doing with him didn't just put feeling. I don't want you to be hurt. I will even go further and advise you to stop when it's still early.”

“Don't bother about that everything is over. I don't think I'm ready to have anything to do with him. Him like orders rich men like him think they can control the world or do whatever they want simply because they have money.”

“That’s true... Yet I'm still mad at you. You lied to me. You made me feel stupid as if I was over reacting meanwhile I was right. I felt you where hiding something away from me and I was right. I don't think I can forgive you this?” she gets dramatic especially with her last sentence.

“Like seriously Natasha?” my shoulder slump helplessly. “Yes, and if you over do such a thing I swear I will kill you.” she rushes into my arms “I missed you.” and she hugs me, tightly. “I missed you to.” I press her as well.

“You have to tell me everything in detail. I mean everything even the sex positions, how you moaned, etc….” “Nat!” my stare widens.

“How was it?” she paths away from the hug then she pulls me on the couch with her. “Nasha, that's insane!” I blush. She can be very naughty at time. “Why, are you shy?. Aren't we friends?” she gapes.

“But that's weird. How do you want me to moan. Must we talk about this?” I cry. “Of course I want to know everything. If you want I can tell you about mine.” she insists.

“Eurr… No, thank you. But I will make this easy for you the next time I have sex I will make sure to invite you. Yes, so that you witness everything by yourself.”

“Haha, don't be silly. Now talk! Did you like it?” she looks at me like a scarecrow. I bite my lower lips “Grrrr... Yes, of course, I did. Although it was really painful at the beginning. I even wanted to give up at a certain point but he was so much into me that I don't know how but the pain began enjoyably.” I just feel weird talking about this.

“Wow, Sheila welcome to the bitches crew. I'm happy you enjoyed it. But, please Sheila, please, avoids him. I can find you, someone else, see like Mike!” she holds my hands.

“Oh, hell no. The guy you paid to follow me around like a pest?” I roll my stare in disdain.

“I didn't pay him. We because closer when I started seating at the back of the class and he once told me that he had a crush on you so I decided to take a little advantage of the situation.” she narrows her stare as she explains.

“A little you say?” “Whatever, he truly likes you and trusts me he’s as wealthy as I am so I didn't pay him.” she insists.

“More to this, he’s kind, sexy, smart and all the girls in class are after him. No tell me what else do you want?” she waves her hands, recklessly.

“Anything but certainly not an Every girl’s boy. See, Nat I don't want a fuck boy.” “What?” she lifts her brow in awe “Whats every girl's boy?”

“This kind of guy every girl want; Freddy, Mike, etc… A package of all what I don't want. Thank you but no Nat it's better I stay single for now.” I say.

“As you wish baby, I can't force you and you will never be single. I'm here to keep you company.” she hugs me again “OMG, I missed you, girl, to the extend that I start doubting my sexuality” she says and we both explode with laughter.

“Damn, Nat you are a vibe.” I barely hit her shoulders. “I'm serious, girl. Luckily Graham was there to constantly remind me of orientation.” this also makes us laugh.

“Awww, love in the air. So what did I miss with both of you?. The last time I checked his presence was annoying you.” I ask.

“What can I really say, you weren't around, Luther is a dick. Graham was here for I and I'm so grateful for his robust waist.” she grins.

“Robust waist, oh. I missed your crazy mind.” I laugh. “Talking about Graham I have to meet him at the club this evening. Can you come with me, please?” she wists her face like that of a sad dog. “Yes, of course, I will.” I nod.

“Good.” she gets up from the couch “I'm sending a text to Mike”she says. “Why?” I wonder. “To meet us at the club tonight. I don't want you to be bored.” he says while moving to the room.

“No, no Nat!” I rush to her. “Sorry, the text is gone and it's blue ticked.” she shows me her screen “Oh, typing...” she adds and I hit my face in dismay.

“You will pay me for this.” I cry. “While you will thank me later, trust me.” she locks her phone and she flings it on the bed while moving to her wardrobe “We need to be very sexy tonight. We have to celebrate our reconciliation.”
