“Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror, how would you think I like your ugliness? You’re fat and shapeless, something I’d never be interested in. ”
A tear slipped and I wiped it off. “My ugly, nerdy, stupid girlfriend. ”
I went into the tub letting the water enter into my body trying to think of positive things about myself. I had no idea how long I stayed till I eventually fell asleep.
“For God’s sake wake up West.” the annoying voice I never wanted to hear again was ringing in my head.
I opened my eyes to see him in front of me. “Come on let’s get you out of here. ” he moved further to carry me.
Can’t he see that I’m naked, even if I wasn’t I don’t want him touching me? “Don’t touch me, I’m not leaving here till I leave your house. ” I angrily said.
“You’re catching cold West,” he stated
“How do you know that and it’s not your business.” I sneezed after speaking.
“You see what I’m saying, I have to carry you to the bed.”
“Don’t touch me Adrios, I don’t want to go anywhere with you so just leave,” I said pushing him away.
I was shivering now and I didn’t like it, I needed something warm and for him to leave.
“Is it a habit of yours to sleep in the shower? ” he asked a bit of anger detected in his tone
“What’s your business where I sleep? Can you just get going already? ” I angrily said
“This is my house, if anyone should leave it should be you.”
I took a towel wrapping it around me and got out of the tub. “Great, I’d go pack my bag. ” this was just what I needed, for him to send me out. I can’t deal with him any longer.
“I didn’t mean it like that.” he calmly said.
“I don’t care how you meant it, do you think I like living with you? I’m so glad you’re kicking me out I won’t have to see you again for the rest of my life.”
“I was worried about you. Maria called that you were in the shower for hours, she knocked and called but no reply. ” he sounded worried?
“Well, I’m fine. Don’t worry I won’t be committing suicide in your house.”
“Neither will you be committing suicide anywhere else. ” he firmly stated and I laughed thinking back to how many times I attempted suicide because of him. I know it was stupid of me but have you ever given everything you could give to someone only to realize it was fake, a lie, a game and he just discard you like trash humiliating you in front of the whole school about your weight and style. On top of that finding out, you are pregnant with his child when he doesn’t even want anything to do with you again.
“I have a reason to live for Adrios. Don’t worry I won’t be committing suicide anytime.” I said walking past him.
He pulled me close to him until our bodies were touching and it wasn’t a good thing since I was naked with just a towel on me.
“Let me go Adrios,” I said trying to get away from his grip.
“I’m not letting go of you West, not now, not ever,” he said holding me tightly.
“Well, I don’t plan on living the rest of my life with you psycho. ” I shouted slapping him before going to the bedroom only for me to see Evie crying.
“Evie, what’s wrong?” I asked kneeling to meet her.
“I thought something happened to you. I came to watch a movie with you but you were not there. I called and knocked but you didn’t say anything and so I told Maria to call Kel.” she said crying.
Gosh, it broke my heart to see her crying because of my stupidity. “I’m so sorry I scared you, baby. I just fell asleep.”
“Are you mad at me?” she asked crying
“No, I’m not. I can’t be mad at you. ”
“But you’re mad at Kel? I heard you shouting at him,” she stated and I nodded
“Can I sleep with you tonight, can Kel join in too? ”
“He has his room, Evie. ”
“But I’ve not seen you both stay together. ” why does she keep on pressing this?
“Evie it’s okay, don’t make her upset,” Kel said walking in.
I went into the closet and wore a big black hoodie and track since I was feeling cold. Evie said she had to do something and left, it was when she locked the door I realized what she did. Why’s she trying to make us be together?
” I swear I didn’t ask her to do that if you’re wondering,” he said and I rolled my eyes.
I laid on the bed, got under the covers and started chatting with Rosie. Her wedding was in two weeks and she wanted me to come to her dress fitting and if Evie could be one of the flower girls.
I soon got tired of chatting and turned to look at Kel who was doing something probably work-related. I was feeling sleepy and I relaxed on the bed.
“I’m sorry if you’re mad at me West, maybe I shouldn’t have spoken to you like that? ” maybe?
I said nothing and just closed my eyes, what a lame excuse for an apology. He didn’t even sound sincere enough and I needed a better apology than that.
“I’m mad at you too just so you know, you threw a mug at me and slapped me a while ago.”
The next time I’d throw a rock if I can get some.
“Fine. Goodnight.”
I was far from having a good night.
My pillow felt so comfortable, I turned to get more comfortable wrapping my hands around the pillow. Now I was cuddling with the pillow, seriously what’s wrong with you Shayan? Maybe I’d need to buy a teddy bear or something. The pillow had a scent that filled my nostrils and then the pillow wrapped its hands around me. But my pillow doesn’t even have hands, I stood up realising who the pillow was. Kel Adrios was on my bed!
“Adrios, get out of my bed,” I shouted pushing him.
“For God’s sake West, is there anything on the bed? ” he said tiredly opening his eyes
“Yes, you. Now get up. ” I ordered and he just rolled his eyes before closing them.
I was so hungry, I tried opening the door but it wasn’t opened and just took a bath instead. I did all the necessaries and went back to the room to see Kel still sleeping.
“When he’d be texting instead of sleeping. Who knows who he’s always texting.” I scoffed saying.
I sat on the bed waiting for Evie to come to open the door and when she did I was so grateful.
“Good morning. How was your night? ” she greeted smiling.
“It was okay. Yours? ” I asked carrying her on the bed.
“Good. It wasn’t bad sleeping with him was it?” she asked and I shook my head. It wasn’t that bad.
“He’s still sleeping, let’s wake him up. ” she excitedly said jumping on the bed.
“Great. Do your thing and make sure to jump very well.” I said and she gladly obeyed.
Kel woke up a few minutes later raking his hands to improve his messy bed hair that was sexy by the way.
“What are you doing here princess? ” he asked carrying her.
“Waking you up,” she replied.
“Right. I have to get ready for work,” he said and I sneezed.
“Good morning West, how was your night?” he asked and I rolled my eyes
“Let’s go make breakfast Evie. ” I took her hand and went downstairs. I was still very angry at him.
I kept on sneezing while trying to make coffee but just stopped.
“See what happens when you decide to take a nap in the bathtub.” Kel mocked walking into the kitchen. He was dressed in a charcoal grey suit ready to go to work, looking good as always.
“Go away… ” Sneeze. “Adrios. ” I completed
“I’m not going anywhere babe,” he smirked saying and I just rolled my eyes.
“Thank God cause I’m hungry.” Evie chirped in.
“So let’s make breakfast then,” Kel said.
They started making breakfast keeping it simple while I just watched.
“Do you want peanut butter on your bread?” Kel asked and Evie made a disgusted face.
“I don’t like peanut butter and I’m allergic to it,” Evie answered
“Oh. ” Kel said. “I’m allergic to it too, we have something in common.”
Believe me, you have more than one thing in common. I started a sneezing fit trying to mumble excuse me as I did. Kel came with a blanket and wrapped it around me. “You know you’re prone to cold yet you enjoy sleeping in the shower. ”
What’s with him and mentioning sleeping in the bathtub. “I’m not going to hear the last of this, am I? ” I asked irritated and he shook his head chuckling.
We ate as soon as breakfast was over, I concluded I was going down with something.
