The silence between the two of us lasted for a month and several weeks. Whenever he showed his handsome face in the store I'd treat him like any other regular customer.
'A hundred shillings please,' I'd say and he'd give the money shaking his head in disbelief.
'Thank you for shopping with us, you're welcome again.' I'd provoke him as he walked away. 'Whatever,' closing the door behind him
Despite all this cold treatments, I wanted to walk up to him and tell him how much I wanted him. How I missed us, him stopping by just to have a chat with me. However I lacked because of the way I embarrassed him in front of my friends and how I had treated him for the last six weeks.
The most important person for these weeks was Arnold, Aziz and Lennox. They were the only people who understood me or so I thought. We were either at my place or theirs getting drank or doing drugs. On one of those days we were at my place. Anne was with August, both disliked weed smoking so much. With loud music we sat round the table, each one with their blunt. A puff then exchange with the next person on the table. We also had some strong gin in our glasses with some laxative that we planned to put under our lips after we were done with the other two.
'Let's toast to such days,' Aziz said. Clanging the glasses and gulping unto the last shots as we laughed hysterically. I was so high I clearly remember that shot I poured it on me. Arnold was ever present even we were wasted. He was our savior every time. He took my glass and placed it on the table gently then he tried to dry my clothes with his white shirt not that he did mind about the color. He wiped my lips in a slowed motion 'Naya stop all this madness.' I stretched my hand slipping my index through his lips seductively and licked his saliva on my finger as I dazed at him with lazy eyes as I twirled my hair with my other index smilingly.
'Where's the shame,' Aziz shouted. 'So uncouth,' Lennox added 'Uncouth' Aziz repeated.
All along they were staring at us. I pushed the chair behind, reached for my nicotine laxative and walked towards the sofa with a raised middle finger.
'I swear friends you'll have to bribe me if you want me to shut,' Aziz dragged his words as he staggered to the sofa where I sat.
'Me two,' Lennox. 'Me three,' Arnold as they followed him
Lennox and Aziz loved to sit down. So they sat down with their heads leaning on the sofa. Arnold raised my head and placed it on his laps as he switched the TV on. We could hear nothing because one of us had connected his phone to the Bluetooth. At the same time we placed our laxatives under the lower lips. My heart was pounding heavily. My veins it's like they had been fueled. My head was buzzing and the air conditioner it's like it had broken and the temperatures were way above optimal. I couldn't stand the heat I removed the chiffon I had on leaving my cleavage shouting from my floral bra. I also unbuttoned my trouser my white underwear peeping from the inside. They as well unbuttoned their shirts I couldn't help but notice Arnold's hairy chest. My vision in some sought of way became blurry, I rubbed my eyes and opened them again as I lay looking to the roof. It was so luminous; the loud faint music from a distant made it glorious in itself. Before they could kick in completely I removed the pill so did Arnold.
He slowly I'm not sure how but he slid his hand into my bra. I held his grip weakly I wanted to stop him but I couldn't resist the temptations. He caressed me softly but I had the fear the two who spaced out where they sat would turn and find us in the act. They sat their helplessly as if someone had paused them like in a movie. They were like statues. Luckily enough we knew the laxative makes one still for about six minutes.
Arnold didn't stop he kept going. He pulled my bra aside and rubbed my nipple softly before he lowered his head to suck on them. I didn't back down either I slid my nails through his hairy chest all the way to the neck and energetically I got up and sat on his laps. I hungrily kissed him as I strained to reach for his belt-buckle so that I could pull out his wood. In the process without effort he slid his fingers into my muse I moaned softly as he reached for my clit. I wrapped my hands around his head but we were cut short by the approaching footsteps and sounds. I knew it was Anne but something I wasn't aware of was whom she was with. When she walks, she drags her shoes.
Anne' I said jumping from his laps I took my chiffon blouse and walked to my room I left him putting back his pill under his lips.
I threw my chiffon on and zipped up my trousers and splashed my face with water. I walked back wiping my face, 'Baby girl you back early' I pretended.
'What's wrong with this one?' pointing Aziz and Lennox. 'They'll be fine in the count of [with my fingers]six, five…four….three[Lennox coughed] two…one…one[he didn't react, I looked at her nervously biting my nails. Arnold slapped him from the back of his head
--'WTF,' --'WTF are you doing as I threw his arm away,' uniformly with Aziz. A cold chill ran down my spine when my eyes locked with Arnolds so I looked away quickly.
I'm used to his stupid pranks,' Arnold said as Aziz stood rubbing his head 'let's go,' he said leading the way to the door. Lennox was still high; he clearly didn't understand the way out so I supported him out. Anne opened the windows wide open as she sprayed the house with the air freshener for the smell of weed to fade away completely. As she did all this Arnold was being touchy and all romantic with her. 'Stop it,' she chuckled. He threw his arms around his tiny waist. I looked at them with a side eye then away. I felt like going up to them and thrash them up. I was jealous of her but I couldn't fight over a friend with my best friend. They called a taxi and drove away while I was headed to sort out some unfinished business.
'We need to talk,' I flung his door open and sat on his bed. He was busy on his laptop. 'I thought you never wanted to,' Lucca said.
I explained to him how I found out about his girlfriend, without mentioning my friends and all he said was that he didn't have a girlfriend. 'Wait what! I was surprised. There's no way my friends had lied to me. I saw her walk through her gate, I thought to myself. But then I realized no one would just agree they were cheating on. After talking with him, we made out though I had the fear of the girlfriend walking in on us. Luckily she didn't however bumping into her became a normality in as much as it was weird. I always felt like it was the universe trying to communicate something. Perhaps she already knew about our little affair. I mean her eyes whenever we bumped into each did a lot of talking. I kept sneaking to his place and we made out without informing my friends. I kept them in the dark. Whenever he came to the store I acted friendly.
'Are you guys together again,' Anne asked
'Nope, being mad at him won't change the fact that he cheated,' I replied
