“Where were you last night?” Nelson asked behind me.
“Do I own you an explanation of where I was last night?” I demurred, glanced back at him. “And you, what are you doing here?”
“Well, I was worried last night.”
“Worried?” I chortled as he nodded his head.
“Yes, I thought you might get killed by people... I'm glad you made it alive.” He said sarcastically.
“I need to get ready for work.” I ignored what he said as I walked ahead. I walked inside the room then dropped my phone on the bed.
“Did you feed yesterday ...?” He stared at me then shot me a wink.
“Not at all.”
“How do you do it?”
I moved close to him, I knocked his forehead. “Don't be so inquisitive, Nelson. Maybe I should tell you since you are curious, thanks to that drunk bitch just a little blood of hers.” He widened his eyes.
“What?” He gasped. “I beg your pardon, you feed on someone?”
“Whatever. It's all in the past and please don't tell dad about it.” I chuckled when the last night event bumped into my mind, can't believe I fucked a random girl. She was really a desperate drunker that needed someone to quech her fire blaze. “I had a really fun. It's been a while that why I felt different.” I said and unbutton my shirt.
“What do you mean? How about those nail pierces on your back? I cursed underneath. It must be the lady's nails.
“Shut the door behind you.” I said as I walked into the bathroom. I stood naked under the shower. I turned right side, staring at my reflection. I ruffled my hair after pouring shampoo conditioner on my hair. I exhaled deeply then shut my eyes, allowing the cold water to soothe my body.
I stepped out in the bathrobe. I headed into the closet and chose a suit the strolled out. I put the towel aside after drying my hair then used the hair dryer. My phone rang, I didn't even bother to check, the person has to wait. I applied body lotion before dressing up.
? When you decide to pick my call I must have been in my grave. I need you to come over today or she suck the life out of me.
Twas a message from dad. He was actually refering to mum. He knew I'm trying to avoid that woman, I couldn't deal with her. She was like me that was why we never got along.
I grabbed my phone and walked out of the room without replying to his text message. “I'll think about it. She might be around and I don't want to get close to get her or my brother.

We were done with the last lecture for today. I havent went home but I've given dad a call and told him about my whereabouts. Karl and I walked along aside, he intertwined our hands as we walked into the restaurant. Dailey told us she will be awating us.
“Hey guys over here.” She called out, waving a hand. I rolled my eyes as we walked toward then.
“Lazy ass.” I mumbled. Karl drew a seat for me. “Thank you.”
“I smell a new chemistry. How was your lecture?”
“When you are going to ask this why didn't you attend?” Karl asked as he sat next to me.
“Well, I don't care if you tell me.” She shrugged.
“Where's Lisa?” He queried while looking around.
“She wants to get something... There she is.” She pointed at her. She was holding a package.
“Jeez, my back aches.” She uttered jokily. She placed the package on the table right in front of me. “This is for you.” She said.
“What do you have for me this time?”
“It could be a bomb. I don't trust her Cleo.” Karl said. Lisa shot him a glare before opening the package.
“HAPPY NO MORE VIRGIN GIRL...” Karl read it out then looked at me. I shrugged my shoulders. “You got her a cake for birthday or what?” He asked as he lifted a brow.
“Happy no more virgin girl. Bye-bye to her innocence.” Melisa and Dailey said as they burst into laughter.
I couldn't help but laughed. “Are you trying to mock me?”
“I know you've been trying to get the shit done and finally, you did get. Sweetheart you have to tell me everything. What name did you scream?” I couldn't get mad at them because of what Lisa told me last night. She said I should think as if it was nothing, after an hour of different quotes and words I shrugged it off as if it's nothing. Frankly speaking, I was scared at first I should have done it long time.
“What are they talking about, Cleo?” Karl asked. He was trying not to show it but I could see he was angry and confused.
“She get la...”
“It's nothing really. This is one of her joke.” I interrupted Lisa before she could blurt out.
“Melisa, what are you trying to say?”
“I said it nothing, is that hard for you to understand.” I snapped at him before I could control myself. They looked at me, Dailey blinked her eyes severally. “I'm sorry, don't get me upset.”
He looked at me and I looked away. He drew his chair back. “I need to use the restroom.” He stood up and walked away.
I couldn't control my facial expressions. I was upset with him, I didn't know how to conceal my facial expression, even if I try not to he always make it hard for me. “Why did you do that?” Lisa asked after a long minute of silence. I grabbed a drink and took a sip.
“Why, what do you mean? Did he expect me to tell him everything that happens to me?” I seethed while looking at something else.
“You know he cares about you more than anyone else. You shouldn't have done that to him, even if you ain't going to tell him you get laid... But you just shut him out.” Dailey didn't say anything as she watched me quietly.
“And you, do you have to expose every of my little secrets?” Her face fell.
“I told you'll be coming here alone without him. I'm sorry if I get you upset.” I knew I was overreacting so I needed to put up a play.
“Apologize not accepted until you give me a peck.” I pouted my lips.
“How about a kiss?” I shook my head. “I can only give you that. Want it or I should keep my kisses?”
“Of course not.” I tasted the cake. “It's really sweet.”
“You're something else.” Dailey uttered.
“I can't stay up angry you guys know that.” Karl returned from the restroom. He kept a straight face, no frown or smile.
“Cleo, are you hungry? Should I order the same thing for both of us?” He asked with a smile.
“Yeah and I need something to keep my mouth busy after eating too.” He walked toward the counter to place an order.
“He loves you.” Lisa said.
“I know but I can't return his affection.” I said a little bit down in the mouth.
“Perhaps you're in love with someone else?”
“Nope. Karl will always be my best friend and I'll love to keep it that way. No mutual feeling”
“You are harsh Cleo.” Dailey complained.
“I'm going to tell him but not now. I need time to think over it before telling him.”
Karl put the two trays down. I glanced at the snacks and cookies, same order. “You two can share this, I'm going to share with Karl.” I pushed a tray to Lisa and picked from Karl's.
He watched me eating without saying anything. “I love you so much honey. He didn't even bother to ask about us. You are so kind Cleo.” Dailey uttered, mouthful.
He held my hand when I tried to shove cookies into my mouth. He collected it and ate it. He drew the tray away from me. “It seems like you ain't hungry, let me enjoy my cookies in peace.” I frown my lips. We fought with the tray till he gave up.
“You can't fight me Karl. For what you did, I'm going to eat all and you won't get anything from it. You dare not order another one.”Dailey and Lisa laughed without a word. Karl sighed in surrender.
“Please...”
“Pet name.” I moved the cookie toward his mouth.
“Amour.” I chuckled.
“That isn't a pet name, Karl.”
“I can't think of a pet name right now I'm famished.”
“And I'll be unfair if I don't share mine. Sharing, giving expand love. Have a bite honey.” He collected the cookie and ate it.
“Thank you.”
“You are welcome.”
***************
The house was hushed so I guessed mum wasn't home. I walked into my room and shut the door. I was undressing when someone stepped in.
“Have you lost your manners, Brenda?” I knew she was the one that stepped in because dad won't walk in without knocking.
“Pardon my manners. How was the party? You didn't even come home last night.”
“I was with Lisa since I couldn't make it home at the late hour.”
“Oh, did you enjoy your day?”
“Why do you asking?” I undressed while left in underwear. “It has nothing to do with you how my day goes.”
“Nothing really. I was thinking you must have had a really fun without me since I left the nightclub early. It's just that I don't like your friends, they are lousy.” I was surprised when she said that but I decided to ask cool.
“I had a lot of fun last night so could you please leave the room I want to take a nap.”
“Why are you been harsh on me. After all I'm not the one that cause your misfor... oh never mind I'll leave.” She said as she blinked her eyes anxiously.
“What do you mean? You're trying to say something right?”
“Take a nap. Dad got you a little gift, but know you can't have it all.” She said abruptly and stalked out of the room.
“A gift?” I shrugged my shoulders. I climbed on bed, I laid down and used the blanket. I shut my eyes to welcome my beauty sleep. She was the last person I'm going to take her words serious. “Bitch.” I mumbled.
