Rugged To The Core

Chapter 8

Lucky 

     I groggily collapsed on the bed sinking into the soft mattress, my eyes had started to droop when I heard the soft ping alerting me I had just gotten a notification. I decided to ignore it but then my phone pinged two more times. I propped my elbows on my pillow and grabbed my phone from the bedside table. Unlocking it, I laid eyes on the awkward picture of Naomi's face up close to the camera, behind her, Linda was trying to force a kiss on my cheek, I was leaning away with a big grin on my face, pulling the dark blue baseball cap on my head down to the point it covered both my eyes.

I realised I was still online because that was my current Whatsapp profile picture. I exited settings to my recent chats. I had three messages from Abel Brown. We had exchanged numbers a few weeks ago. I saved his name with Brown because of his alluring brown eyes. I had a unique way of saving my contacts.

It's stupid...
