Jimi.

The call ended.

I tried to stand up but to no avail
I grunted in frustration
I shifted uneasily on the bed

Curse the stupid thugs

I can't let Deena see my like this

But do I have a choice

"Charles!!!" I screamed at my loudest

"What the heck boy; you stress more than a pregnant woman"
"What is it this time?" Charles said as he appeared on my door entrance hands on his waist

Sigh

"I'm expecting someone" I said calmly

"Really? Is she hot? How hot is she? I should get dressed ,Oh I'm well dressed enough for a visitor. I don't need to..."

"No foul play" I said eyeing his half naked body. He was on only boxers for God's sake

"Yeah yeah, you can trust me" He said with a smirk and left

I just groaned loudly and covered myself with the bedsheets without much effort

That was all I could do
Or less...

After few minutes;
I heard a couple of knocks on my door but before I could repond, the door flung open revealing Deena.

She stood there looking really shocked while I took in how beautiful she was and how much I missed seeing her.

I'm so losing it.

"Are you going to stand there all day or come on in?" I asked

Just then she closed the door gently and still stood there

"What"
"Don't make it look worse than it already is"

"I'm sorry" she said in a low voice

I rolled my eyes
Why was she being all polite

She closed the door gently and still stood there awkwardly

"Have a seat" I said

My bed dipped as she sat lightly on the edge

"What happened" She asked

"I fell on the stairs"

"Really?" she raised an eyebrow "you couldn't come up with something more believable"
"You're in bandages" she continued "how can falling on the stairs get you all bandaged up?"

I chuckled

"It was a really bad fall"

She ignored me

"Have you been to the hospital?" she asked

"Charles did some first aid, it's nothing serious"

"It's damn serious, you look like a mess right now"
"Where's the first aid ?"

I pointed at it

She grabbed it and opened

"This is going to be a bit painful so be a man" she said to me

"Yes ma'am" I said sarcastically

She slowly unwrapped the bandages and stared in awe

She picked up the cotton wool and dipped it into the antiseptic and cleaned the bruise on my arm, then on my stomach, then she added ointment...
And after a lot of doing and undoing that I did not understand,  she finally wrapped them carefully in gause bandages

"This should do for now" she said

All the while I was biting my cheek so I wouldn't scream

"You can let out your pain now. You did well" she said trying to hide her amusement

I let out a sigh

”Thank you"

"You're welcome"

I touched her hand gingerly

"So how are you"

She stiffened

"I missed you" I continued

Silence

I reached for her chin and turned her face towards mine.
She still had that look
Of fear
Like the other day

"Why are you so scared?" I whispered

"I...um..I...I need to use the restroom"

"No"

I dragged her closer and secured my hands around her waist ignoring the pain shooting in my arm

I moved my hands to her chin and stroked lightly

She struggled to move away but I held on tightly before she finally relaxed and stared at me.

"Aww you're blushing" I said as I examined her left cheek

She slapped my hands away and stood up abruptly

I laughed hysterically

"Why are you acting like a lost school girl Deena?"
"Tell me something, is it because you missed me so much?" I queried

"I wish" she said rolling her eyes

Okay she's back.

"So why are you here?" I asked with a raised eyebrow

"I..um..I just...well  I..."

"ah ahh I got you speechless twice in one day"

"No you didn't"

"Oh yes I did, Answer my question then"

"Well I was just bored and so I decided to call a friend and..."

"Ohh so I'm a friend?"

"No! I just decided to call somebody" she said dramatically dragging the "somebody"

"Yeah right"

"Yeah yeah"

"What can I get you"

"Are you going to teleport to get me something or you'd ask for a piggy ride to the store"

"I can get something in the kitchen"

"Okay so piggy ride to the kitchen. Point taken"

"No dummy! I have crutches"

"Oh really!" she said faking a surprised face

I gave her a look and she burst into laughter

I ignored her and grabbed my crutches lifting my body uneasily

She just stared in amusement trying to suppress her laughter but her face was so red like she would burst anytime

"Just let it out"

And she did.
