Chapter 3: 3. Morning
I slowly opened my eyes to see a handsome man sleeping next to me. I sat upright my head had been hurting. I remembered kissing him. We laughed a lot sitting in the sofa. But I remember him not telling me much jokes so it must be the drinks. I checked the sheets to make sure that there wasn't any blood. I breathed in relieved seeing there was none. I wasn't hurting too. So it would mean that all we did was talk. But he didn't talk much. I was the one who had done most of the talking he just sat there and listened to me. I know drinks had made me braver so I talked a lot.
I have never talked this much in an year. He was very much the gentle man not trying anything untoward. I remember him tucking my hair behind my ear that too only once.
To hear a girl talk requires much patience from a guy. A drunk girl talking to a guy who was actually listening, I should give a couple of points to him. From the short time I had known him he was a patient, kind and a great guy.
But what seems wrong is the timing. I have to study for my finals. He was too much distraction. If I had learnt something from my mother it is to never put your hold your life hold for a guy.
He was an amazing guy and I would have liked to know about him. But I have my exams to study. He had trusted me enough to fall asleep with me. Maybe it was the other way around. I don't know. All I was ever thinking about was to not disappoint mother.
I can't just let her life full of hard work let rot because I wanted to hook up with a guy during my finals. I know my mother would have forgiven me but I can't forgive myself. I owe her my whole life. She deserves nothing less than a successful daughter.
I know when he wakes up he will betrayed that I had gone. I knew guys they must have wanted me to stay. But I can't stay. I was afraid that this guy had a good chance of taking away my heart. I couldn't let him do that especially now. I know Bi will call me chicken for leaving but when was I anything other than that.
If the fate really wants us together then it better do something other than to put us together in bad timings. I quickly escaped that place place with my clothes. He was still sleeping peacefully. I did not take anything from that place. Except a photo of him from his bed side table. He looked less compelling and youthful on that picture. I wanted to see him always as in that picture. I know he will notice that picture missing but I didn't care. It was not like I took something expensive.
When I reached home I saw Bi pacing dramatically. I saw the tattoo artist sitting like he needed some rest. I doubted that both of them hadn't slept at all. I sneaked a look at my phone. I found it switched off. I dreaded her reaction and had a half mind to go back to the bedroom and snuggle with him.
She looked at me and I looked down guiltily. She was too dramatic for her own good. She stormed towards me. I braced my self for a rebuke.
"Where were you last night?", she interrogated me. Oh god! I don't want to do this in front of a guy.
"I texted you didn't I?", I asked her.
"Yes a vague text. But imagine my surprise when I didn't find you here. I was this close to calling cops you know? I was assuming some serial killer caught you. Because nothing short of kidnap could make you stay away from books during exams", she said pursing her lips at me.
"I was with a guy", I told her. She gasped out her surprise. I looked at the tattoo artist embarrassed. He looked away suppressing his smile. He stood up and smiled at me but not in a condescending way.
"It's a pleasure to meet you", he told me. I assumed he knows my name so I didn't offer it.
"The same here", I said.
"I'm Alex", he said.
He then walked towards Bi who looked like she was about to give me third degree. I won't be safe after he leaves she will make me spill everything. I didn't know what to tell her it seems so pointless to talk about it since nothing happened but she looked keen to know.
"I will call you later", he said walking towards her and placing a chaste kiss on her lips. I appreciated that he considers me a person not like her other boyfriends who tried to eat her in front of me just to shock Bi's prudish friend.
About ninety percentage of the boys she dated had an issue with me. For one I didn't appreciate their offers for cheating my best friend and the next one was that she always put me first before them. But the truth is that Bi had a small issue for commitment. That explained her long list of boyfriends.
"Tell me everything", she said to me. I sighed and fell on the sofa.
"I don't know what to tell", I told her.
"Tell me about the sex", she told me.
"Nothing happened", I told her.
"Alright then we will do it your way. Tell me what happened in step by step after you left", she said to me.
I sat down. Boy this is going to take a long time. I felt like a first grader explaining to my mother about my first class. She listened to everything I told. Her eyes brows frowned when I told her I had a drink at his place. She was relieved that the guy didn't rape me given that he had every opportunity.
