Let's Talk

Chapter Five

Nicky hello

I looked up and my jaw dropped.  For a moment I felt like I was choking in the very same air I was breathing. This is why I never go out.  

"H-Hi . . Hii," I say nervously

He chuckles and looks at Kate "Pretty friend you have there" looking back at me

"Yeah she is," I said blankly

"Get up and come here doll face," he says holding out his hand

"He seems creepy . . Do you know him?" Kate asks softly as I stand up

"Er. .. yeah" I stand and go to him

As soon as I get to him not far from the table he grabs my arm roughly and brings me close to him. He then brings his mouth close to my ear . . so much as I can hear his breathing. "You said you were sick," he says harshly

"Y-you Hurting me Scott!" I say under my breath

"You said you were sick!! Doll face just answer me"

"I was-. .. uhm she insisted I go out to feel better. You know I hate public spaces"

"You not lying to me doll face are you?" He says twisting my arm a bit harder

"I-i wouldn't Scott you know that"

"For your sake, I hope so" he lets me go and winks at Kate before leaving. I go back to the table and sit down

"Bro you Ayt? Who is he?? He seems creepy ey" sipping on her coffee that I didn't realize was on the table already

"Uhm. .I'm okay. He is a. .. a uhm regular at the club" I bluntly lie avoiding eye contact.

"Mmm, I see. Well, I was thinking that after here we should go check out. .."

"I want to go home" I interrupt her

"Oh, I thought. "

I cut in again "I do like it and spending time with you but I'm just not feeling well"

"Does it have anything to do with the guy that was just here??"

"No no. I just want to go" I say standing up and making my way out. I was terrified. Freakin scared. My heart was pumping so hard it felt like it was gonna jump right out of my chest. I waited outside for Kate and in a few minutes she came out and we went straight home. During the taxi ride, it was awkward, to say the least. There were many questions that were never asked and answers that could never be answered. Her silence screamed much louder than her actual words. I wanted to tell her everything. I wished to tell her everything. .. but I can't-I Cannot no matter how much I want to . .. I can never do that. There are things that are beyond one's control, things that are so hard to explain and even harder to understand. 

Later at the flat

"You wanna talk about it??" Kate ask as we sit in the dining area

"No we've talked way too much," I say

"It's good for you ey. You can't just bottle things up and not talk about them"

"Well, you people talk too much. Some things are better left unsaid"

"Mmm well. .. I'm going out in a bit" she says excitedly. I chuckle at how her mood just changed in a second

"I hope you not thinking of taking me with you"

"Nah relax. Max is taking me out" she blushes

"Oh. Your boyfriend?"

"Well.. .. no but not for long. He will be soon" she says confidently

"He told you that??

"Not really but . . I know he likes me" I can see her cheeks flush at the thought of him

"And you like him??

"Yeah, I do. plus he's hot" she says giggling

"How do know?? That you like him??

"Well firstly at the thought of him. .I get butterflies in my stomach. When I see him my heart skips a beat or two. .I feel complete when I'm with him. .I can't stop thinking about him. . . It's the little things that he does that make me feel like I belong with him" her face is red from all the blushing

"Oh I see" I found myself thinking about"him"

"Do you like someone??"

I almost choke on my own saliva at hearing that "what!? Me . .. no no I don't do all that love nonsense

"What do you do then. . Do you drink? Smoke? Chow any guy you come across?? Party Af? What do you do??"

I laugh at her "I do drink but just occasionally. Drink, smoke, f*ck around? I don't do non of that"

"So you are a virgin??"

"Er. .. no but I don't want to talk about it"

"You so Odd.  And so hard to figure out" she looks at me smiling. While we talking a knock on the door and Kate gets up and says her goodbyes and leaves. I sit alone with my thoughts. The last couple of days have been rather interesting. I believe me and Kate have spoken a lot than we've ever had in the last 2 years we've been living together,my thoughts are always clouded by a masculine figure I only met once and there's just too much talking going on around me. After a while, my fone beeps and it's a message from k

Message: just came back from work. You still up .it's only 10 pm

Me: yeah I'm up but it's a bit late to go out right?

Him: yeah but I really need you.
          I mean to see you. I can come
          To you or we can meet somewhere?

Me: 200**** my address the last thing I want was to run into Scott again. And this time he would kill me.

Him: cool I'll be there in 5mins

Me: ..

I get up and clean up the boxes of pizza we ordered a while back when we came back. I tidy up here and there. I don't know why I was so nervous. I quickly go to the bathroom and wash my face and change my dress and wear Jean and a black baggy T-shirt. My heart stops when I hear a knock on the door. I look around and make sure everything is in place and slowly make my way to the door and open up. .. I felt a sense of relief and a bit of joy when I saw him standing there. Something I don't know what but something in me wanted him to be here with me at this exact moment.

"H-hii Nicole," he says nervously. There is something in the way he calls my name

"Hey. . Uhm . ." I pretend to have forgotten his name is Kyle

"It's Kyle. .." he says

"Oh yes, Kyle. Come in" I move And he enters. Man it's in the way he smells

"Cosy place you have here," he says looking around

" Yeah love it here. But I live with my roommate"

"Oh, I see. Where is she ??"

"Uhm .. out with a certain individual," I say smiling

"Oh" he flushes

"Uhm . . You want a drink?" I say walking to the cupboard and taking out two wine glasses and a bottle of wine

"Yes please," he takes a seat at the kitchen counter. Man, it's in the way he looks at me.

I pour 2 glasses and hand one to him. I steal a glance as I watch him gulp his wine. Man it's in the way he drinks Haha

"So what do you want from me," I say looking at him underneath the wine glass
