Camilla's POV continues
I shake my head looking for who called my name, my eyes find Vanessa, she doesn't look like she called me, none of them do but one of them surely did call my name.
“You're thinking of him aren't you?” Ashanti asks, her hands bringing the taco to her mouth and she crunches on it. I shrug in response.
“You haven't told us his name.” Nessa grimaces.
Nope I can't do that.
He doesn't want people to know about us and if Arielle knows, then Ryan will know and Adrian is a dead man. I have enormous faith in his capabilities but Ryan, an angry Ryan, would end my psychopath of a mate.
Mina nudges her, coming to my rescue without knowing it. “Tsk, that's not the most important question, we should be asking emotional questions.”
Ashanti nods, holding out a finger to halt anyone else who wants to speak. She eventually completes her chewing and says, “Yea Mina is right, so how big is it?” She asks. I tilt my head and she giggles, “His cock honey.”
My eyes widen and I speak without thinking, “I don't know.”
Ashanti laughs, then Vanessa comes next, Arielle and Tamina are trying not to laugh and their attempt is successful until they look at each other that is. They also burst out laughing, Mina is choking on her food.
When she begins to cough I take a good look at her to ensure she's not choking. “No, leave my baby alone.” Arielle manages to let out through her laughter.
They laugh a bit more I can't help but feel dumb, do they think I'm dumb for loving going that far for someone I haven't slept with? Should I be enchanted by dick?
Oh lord, I have been acting like one of those girls haven't I?
I shake my head and Arielle giggles, “Hmm, tell us what you love about him.”
My response is instant, “Everything.” And I regret that answer the second it leaves my mouth but in all honesty, I love everything there is about Adrian, the man is flawless.
Tamina arches an eyebrow then leans forward, “Isn't there something you hate?”
“Hmmm, no.” I giggle.
Arielle tilts her head towards me, “Seriously?” She snickers.
“Pick one.” Ashanti says from beside me. I flicker my gaze between all of them as I bring my thumb into my mouth, biting on it's nail.
Let's see what do I hate about Adrian?
Umm well, I hate that he fucks others girls instead of me but I can't tell them that. He is already on their shit list telling them this wasn't a one time thing will not only make me look stupid in their eyes but also make Adrian less worthy of me in their eyes and trust me, no man deserves me according to them except for one, Rio from good girls.
Ah, yes I got it. “Well, there is his temper but he's so cute when he's mad and scary but he never gets that mad anymore. At least not with me.” I giggle.
Arielle laughs, “Oh, honey, let's just call you cream because you're whipped.”
I pout, yes I am whipped.
“What are his favorite things about you?” Ashanti asks. Seriously? She is hitting me with the tough questions here. How am I supposed to pick just one thing I love about Adrian? I imagine Adrian and smile, “Err, I like his smile.” I say, sounding like it's a question instead of an answer.
Tamina nods letting me know it's an okay answer. “Your favorite thing he does?”
That thing he does with his tongue when he is buried between my legs but lets say something realistic Mia, no one wants to hear about your bedroom antics.
Shit, I'm calling myself Mia now.
I give myself a mental slap then then to Mina, my cheeks heating up from the very thought of Adrian. “I love it when he distracts me from my fears or nightmares, and his lips are my other favourite. They taste like Scotch on Friday's and during other days whiskey.”
“Damn.” They exclaim.
“What is your favorite activity that you do together?”
I giggle, this is an easy one. I lean back into my seat as I say, “cuddle.”
“Awww, he sounds great, minus the cheating that is.”
“He didn't cheat, he just made a mistake under pressure.”
Ashanti nudges my arm, “Hmm, don't be so naive.”
Arielle nods, of course she agrees with Ashanti, they never disagree about anything even when they argue, they agree with each other.
“Shanti is right, honey I love you but you're being an idiot. Focus on your studies you have exams next week, I suggest you do you, be happy and fuck him now I don't mean literally fuck him I mean forget him. Cheating is never a mistake, if you're drugged then maybe. No relationship is perfect, Ryan loves me but even he has cheated and I left him once, I think you remember the time I was gone three months ago. I didn't want an STD or heartache so I went back home, but he came for me. He showed me he was ready to be a man and I gave it a go once again, now here we are, having a little Ryan in a few weeks. Don't settle for half of him.”
I nod, “Yes ma'am.
*******
Frustrated, I toss and turn in my bed. Tomorrow is Sunday, that means it'll soon be Monday and I'll be in an exam room. My exams don't start until Tuesday but still, I feel uneasy.
I talked to Racheal today, she's nervous too, her first paper is tomorrow. Mirabelle didn't come across unnerved about it, but Racheal said that's how she is, before an exam, she'll begin to cram then. I have never felt any pressure before an exam, my mind has been trained to take it like any normal thing but today I feel different maybe because the scenery is different.
My phone begins to vibrate, I grab the phone and answer it, without checking who it is.
“Hello,” I say, my voice pregnant with sleep.
For the first seconds no one replies, all I get is heavy breathing then a cry. “I think she's dead, we were arguing and I killed her.”
I know that voice, I would recognize it in my sleep, this voice haunts my nightmares and dreams. I shoot up from my bed.
“Tee?” I ask glimpsing at the phone, it is Tee. She never phones me, she just sends me texts of her random quotes and pictures of her puppy most of the time even then.
“I didn't mean to bear but-”
“Where are you Tee?”
“The river, the one close by.”
I gulp, “That's thirty minutes from here, I'm coming. Stay put and don't screw up anything else.”
I don't give her the opportunity to reply as I cut the call. No matter how many times I run from her, she often manages to drag me back into our past. Talitha awakens way too many fucking times for me to keep that part of myself dead and buried. Dead people should stay dead right? Well wrong! Tell that to Talitha and Tiana.
I slip on a pair of sneakers, and a hoodie. I put my phone in the pocket of my pajama pants. I can't go out the door so I guess I will make use of the window. I open my window and stare down, why does it look so far down? I can do this even though it's been a while since I've done this but fuck it.
I jump down the window, closing my eyes in case I meet my death but I don't, I land on my feet. A few voices come through and I have to hide behind some bushes, holding my breath. When no one comes to check, I use the opening to sneak past them.
Tee's location is thirty minutes away, I have to run to get there fast. On my path there, I notice a few cars pass me, and when I get there, there's a lot of people and music.
Is this a fucking party?
I groan and take my phone out of my pocket and call her. She fucking woke me up for a party, someone really should be dead or else she's gonna get it. I try her line one more time but she's not picking up.
Just when I'm about to go closer to the crowd of people dancing like they've lost all purpose in life, someone pats me on the shoulder, it's Tee, her mascara is running but she has a smile on her face.
“Come.” She whispers, looking around to see if anyone is paying attention to us and they are but still, she drags me with her to the other side of the river. There's a girl spread on the dirt and Raquel is standing next to the body, she's crying her eyes out. I look back to Tiana, “I think she's dead, I didn't mean to touch her. You could have worn something nicer.”
“Ugh.” I replied. Is she serious? She expected me to wear something nice to come and fix her crime?
My eyes dart back to the body on the ground, she has a head injury, blood trickling out of it but not much, just a little and her chest is unmoving. I ran my hand through my hair, “Umm, did you check her pulse?”
“Are you crazy? I wasn't going to touch her, what if my fingerprints stay on her? I don't even know her, I would be an automatic suspect.”
“Oh really, next time walk away from violence! How did you get her here anyway?”
“Can you two stop arguing?” Raquel asks, I ignore her.
Keeping my eyes on Tee who is pouting at me. I hate that she never takes anything seriously, she murdered someone and she's playing the cute innocent girl that she'll never be.
“Tee?!”
“Don't yell at me, Raquel helped me bring her here. She grabbed the arms, I grabbed the legs.”
I look at her Raquel then back to Tee, “Oh, good you're getting along. You'll have time to bond in jail because you fucking touched her so your fingerprints are on her.”
