Miss Daring ✔️

Chapter Four

Keep the change and don't forget to get Oba some food.

She nodded with a smile before leaving. I realized I hadn't told her not to tell the boys that I was responsible for the food but I brushed it off. I didn't want to seem nice but I also felt bad for them. They must be so tired and hungry. I went back inside my room and closed the door. I grabbed a bottle of water from the kitchen before sitting on the carpet. I pressed play on the movie before I dug into my food.

I knew how to cook. My mother made sure of it but it doesn't mean I like it. She sent me money for groceries and food every week and so did my sisters but I just ate at the cafeteria or anywhere else but I rarely cooked. I had dishes that were still brand new and unused. I had this thing let's call it a quirk where I didn't like eating food that I cooked myself. So I barely cooked unless it was something simple like sausages, eggs or making popcorn. If you wanna judge me and call me spoilt fine. I prefer to say I'm blessed enough to help other people by buying their food instead of cooking for myself. It gave people like Nancy a job and a means to provide for her family.

After clearing my plate I cleaned up my mess and washed the used dishes and left them to dry. Nancy would pick them up later or I would deliver them myself.

I then decided it was time for a smoke. I grabbed a roll and my lighter and sat on the balcony. Just as I was about to light it there was a knock on my door. I was going to ignore it but the person just kept knocking.

"Give me a minute damn. It's not like I was by the door waiting for you to knock." I shouted.

My roll and lighter still in hand and I yanked the door open.

"This had better be good enough coz you just interrupted me from something very important." I said coming face to face with a shocked Gabriel.

He looked disheveled with his cute locks in all directions and dirt on some of his clothes. He was still dressed in what he had when I saw him earlier minus the shoes.

He gave me a once over and I saw him lick his lips. Gay my ass. This dude was full on male. I cleared my throat snapping him back to reality. He scratched the back of his neck which I had come to realize he did when he was nervous.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your uhh..." He hesitated looking at the joint I was holding in my hand.

"What is it Gabriel?" I asked him getting impatient.

"Sorry...."

"Stop apologizing and just say it."

"Sorry.. Shit." This boy was a mess.

Was he always this nervous around people or was it just me? It'd be flattering knowing I had this effect on him.

"Okay so umh. The boys asked me to come thank you for the pizza and drinks." He finally managed to say.

"So if they didn't make you it means you wouldn't have come to say thank you?" I asked teasingly.

I didn't really care if he said thank you or not. It was just fun messing with him.

He scratched the back if his neck again in nervousness looking down and I smiled to myself. God this boy was cute. He was more than a foot taller than me yet I still made him nervous. That was really something. I was used to making people nervous but Gabriel's was whole other level.

"I didn't mean it that way. Thank you for the food and drinks." He said finally looking me in the eye.

"You're welcome. Now is that all. I really need a smoke right now unless you want to join me." I invited jokingly knowing he would say no.

His reply did shock me though.

"Maybe another time. It's rugby season and we have drug tests."He explained.

"You smoke weed?" I asked shocked.

"Don't look so shocked. I'm a comrade. Of course I smoke week just not regularly or during the game season." He replied.

That really was a shock to me.

"You just struck me as a goody two shoes. Maybe there's more to you than meets the eye. See you around Gabriel."

"Thanks again for the food and drinks." He said with a smile.

I have never seen anyone with a smile as beautiful as the one that just graced that beautiful man's lips. Unable to control myself and properly react I just nodded gave him a thumbs up and closed the door on his face. I quickly walked to the company lit my joint and took a long much needed drag. As the smoke filled my lungs I felt a sense of calm wash over me. I dropped to the beanbag I had there and let my mind soar. Gabriel was getting to me and I needed to erase all of that. Especially with that smile. Damn! He looked even more handsome when he smiled. I think I would die if he actually did more than smile. What if he laughed? Oh Lord. That would be the end of me.

Why was I so affected by him? No other guy had ever occupied my thoughts this much. I even bought the guy and his friends food. I needed to calm down and relax. I took in another drag before puffing out the smoke drawing shapes with the shape of my lips. As the weed kicked into my system I thought of other things to distract myself from Gabriel. It would only work for a while before it faded off but I needed the break. I didn't need thoughts of a guy invading my mind. A very hot and sexy guy to be honest but a guy all the same. Here I was again thinking about him.

I think I needed to find new dealer. This shit wasn't working anymore. Weed was my escape from my own mind but at the moment it wasn't working when I needed it to the most. Let's hope getting some new stuff would give me the escape I needed. But would it? I would find out then I guess. Now let's see how much of these I can smoke before I stop feeling my face. Let's see if I can break my own record of three or was it five. I couldn't remember anymore. Look at that it was working. Later peeps. Time for mama to join the clouds.
