Book:His Burning Obsession Published:2024-8-26

“Wake up silly head!” A shrieky voice rang in my head as I groaned taking the pillows to block my ears from the shrilling sound.
“Leave me alone!” I murmured looking for the duvet lazily as I tried to cover myself only for it to be snatched away from my body.
“Camilla! Get your lazy ass off the bed now!” An annoying voice ordered with a hinge of threat.
“What? It’s the weekend… Let me sleep!” I mumbled out until I felt something cold sting my face as I jolted up from bed in shock as I saw Beatrice standing in front of me with a bowl of water.
“What the hell? It’s Saturday for pet–”
“Get yourself into the bathroom now, you’ve forgotten you’re to report to school by 9:00 a. m for your excursion,” She glared as my eyes widened in shock as I clearly remembered there was an excursion for us and I was supposed to be in school before 8:30a. m, now my dumb head made me slept off.
I glanced towards my draw where my alarm was kept and fuck! It was 8:30 a. m.
“Holy crap! Why didn’t you wake me up earlier?” I yelled struggling my way out of the bed as I removed my shorts and oversized shirt in front of her quickly almost stumbling on the floor.
“I did, you dummy!” She chirped throwing my towel at me as I caught it.
“At 8:30 a. m?” I stared at her unbelievably as I wrapped the towel around my body and ran into the bathroom.
I grabbed my toothbrush in the cup that was placed on the sink and applied a little quantity of toothpaste brushing my teeth hastily as I filled my blue cup with water and rinsed my hurriedly, within 2 minutes I was done, I’ve even wasted a lot of time brushing my teeth already.
‘I’m going to kill this Beatrice of a girl, she made us watch movies till 2:00 a. m in the night,’ I thought as I scraped off the panties and bra off my body and walked under the shower as I switched it on.
I needed to do fast with my scrubbing if I know I don’t want to be left behind.
I applied my peach soap lotion on my skin and scrubbed my discreet parts thoroughly before switching on the shower to rinse off the lather on my skin.
I grabbed my towel on the bathroom shaft and dried my skin as I clutched my shampoo and soap lotions walking carefully out of the bathroom to avoid tripping, I can’t bear any injuries because I’m in a rush.
“You’ve spent more than 30 minutes in the bathroom,” Beatrice purred from where she was sitting on the chair as I glanced at the clock on the drawer.
It was still 8:45 a. m…
“It’s not funny,” I hissed as Beatrice laughed hilariously and I felt like punching that pretty face of hers.
“OMG! You should be thanking me Sweetheart for saving your sleepy skull, your clothes are on the bed,” She smirked as I glimpse at the clothes laid neatly on the bed.
“Thanks my foot,” I muttered hopping to the bed as I grabbed my panties and wore them before taking my bra as I turned my back to her and clasp the bra at the front before turning it backward while I tried to keep the towel wrapped around my body in place before it slipped off to the ground.
“Woah! Those asses are Killers,” Beatrice laughed as I grabbed the straight boyfriend jeans which were a bit fitting that she kept on my bed.
“Shut Up!” I rumbled as I sat on the edge of the bed facing her while she sticks out her tongue mockingly at me with a jokester’s face.
I succeeded in wearing the jeans quickly as I stood up trying to do the buttons.
“You know you could have been a little nicer, waking me up before that time,” I said still struggling with the waistband button.
“I didn’t wake up quite early myself,” She said standing up to put her laptop she was charging besides the bed in her bag.
“Ptttff! You caused it, we shouldn’t have watched movies to 2:00 a. m” I scoffed getting pissed off with the button that refused to enter its hole.
“Don’t try blaming me dear, we both know you wanted to watch those movies so bad, you should have slept early on time,” she quipped while I stared icily at her.
She’s really something…
Now pushing the blame back on me.
“What the heck? Am I getting too fat or what?” I asked no one in particular as I tried to squeeze in my tummy so the button will finally enter the buttonholes.
“Nope, your waist is small, your buttocks and hips are the ones hindering the progress,” Beatrice snickered while I just shook my head in dismay at her.
“Finally!” I muttered with a sigh of relief as the button finally stayed in its hole.
I grabbed the black round crop top which was free and wide and not that crop that would expose my stomach, honestly, if I were to pick the dress myself I would be going for a simple gown instead, but Beatrice and her annoying fashion sense won’t let me be in peace.
I tied the lace of my white sneakers which was out of the league but I love it just the way it is. I can’t afford another one, so I would take care of it preciously till I have money to get another one.
“Where’s my bag?” I asked Beatrice who was making the way out of my room.
“In the car, now you see the reason why I wanted to stay the night with you,” She smirked proudly like she won an award.
“Yeah!” I said in a duh tone, rolling my eyes at her.
“Wait! Should I tie my hair or leave it loose?” I asked loudly so she could hear.
“Brush it down… Or let it down… Anyone! Just don’t tie it,” I heard her replied loudly too.
“Dumbass!” I muttered chuckling a bit lightly as I brushed my hair down before taking a quick glance at the mirror.
‘I wasn’t that bad,’ I thought as I placed my big rimmed eyeglasses in their spot giving me that nerdish look.
Well, I was glad she was here in the first place, without her I would have been nothing but a jerk.
I closed the door of my room as I made my way downstairs before being greeted by a mouthwatering aroma.
‘This is 9:05 a. m already, I’m not sure I would be able to make up with breakfast.’ I thought glancing at my wristwatch.
“Good morning dear,” Mum greeted me on my way to the kitchen.
“Hey, mum!” I said hugging her quickly before I replaced it with a peck on the side of her cheeks.
I walked past her to the kitchen and saw Beatrice sitting comfortably on the chair eating toast bread with Bacon and fried eggs as I gaped implausibly at her.
“You got to be kidding me!” I said loud enough for her to me as she raised her head staring at me like a zombie.
“I’m freaking late and here you are eating your soul out,” I said frustratedly almost on the verge of crying.
What kind of crazy best friend do I have?
“But I’m hungry,” She said with her mouth full as she swallowed hurriedly giving me a pout.
“Camilla, aren’t you eating?” Mum asked as she walked into the kitchen coughing lightly as grabbed a bottle of water and drank it while I studied her.
“No,” I replied even though I was hungry, I was getting excited and feeling nervous at the same time all because of this excursion thing.
“Well, let me pack your food for you,” Mum said as packed my food in foil paper and handed it over to me with an orange juice.
“Thanks mum, what about Lillian? I haven’t been seeing her face quite lately,” I said putting the food in my handbag which was capable of containing them.
“Uhm, I guess work issues though,” Mum said as she rinsed her hands in the sink and dried it with the napkins she placed on the cabinet.
“Okay, let’s go silly!” I said drawing Beatrice’s ear in my hand making her stand up as she tried to free herself from my grip.
“Ouch! You’re hurting me,” She winced trying to remove my hand that was stuck on her right ear.
“That’s because you’re wasting time now,” I cooed sweetly before she finally freed herself from me.
She went back to her meal and took the last slice of toast bread she was eating and stock her mouth with the remaining fried eggs and bacon, grabbing her juice along.
“Thank you so much for the breakfast,” Beatrice said with a mouth full to my mum while I tried muffling the laughter of how immature she was with her mouth filled up with food as she tried to talk.
“No dear, I should be the one thanking you for what you’ve done in our lives and that of Camilla’s especially,” Mum smiled while Beatrice grinned before I finally pulled her out of the house.
We got outside and made our way to where she parked her car.
I opened the passenger door before we heard mum’s voice again.
“Bye girls and be careful,” She said waving her hands at us.
“Bye mum, take care of yourself!” I replied while Beatrice waved her hand because she was still chewing whatever the food might have turned to in her mouth.
I opened the passenger door and slumped in as Beatrice sat comfortably in her driver’s seat.
“Wow! That was so delicious, you just ruined my chances of taking another dish,” She glared before belching making me scrunch up my face while she laughed.
“Yuck! Such a foodie,” I snickered putting on my seat belt.
“Now, let’s get your ass to school,” She smirked igniting her car as she drank the orange juice in her hand before zooming off.
