Episode 13
We left the restaurant, he paid, everybody now turned their attention to the boy on the mask, he took me by the hand and led me away. People kept looking at him, its as if he took my embarrassment and made it his.
âSo how can I pay you backâ I asked once we are outside, I donât know if heâs rich like others, so I just have to pay him back.
âDonât worry, you donât have toâ he said.
âI have to, I wonât be at peace if I donâtâ I said as more tears float I wiped it with the back of my hand.
He came closer, âif you must, then how about paying with a hugâ he said and wrapped his arms over me, he is warm, I hugged back, I sniffed him, he smells like vanilla, I hugged tighter, he sooth my back. I cried more, its true what they say, a hug is the best gift for it wraps you all.
âLet it all outâ he said, I cry not because Kevin disgraced me. I cry not because everyone have their eyes on us and as someone that hate attention, that is difficult to bear, I actually donât mind today. I cry because, I love being her in his arms so much the feeling was overwhelming that tears flowed.
When my sobbing died down he pulled apart, and wiped my tears, âWith a hug Barbie you paid your debtâ he said smiling, I smiled back, it was contagious.
âDoes that also include the cake debtâ I asked with a puppy look
âDonât push your luck Barbieâ he said squashing my hopes. I looked at the time, it almost 5pm
âI have to goâ I said.
âNot yet you donâtâ he said and took me by the hand, âI promised you fairytaleâ he said and I smiled.
After like 10 minutes we arrived at a basket ball court, nobody is here, I looked around, he brought the ball over, its heavier than a football.
âNormally, Barbieâs have other things to do than play basket ball, but since am not prince charming but a monster, and youâre not exactly a normal Barbie, I suppose we playâ he said, I have not really played basket ball, am not good in any sport.
âAm not good at itâ I said with a frown.
âWhat then are you good at Barbie, donât be a chicken and burn out some fatâ he said, thatâs it, I threw the ball, like players do, I aimed for the goal, surprisely in entered. How hard could it be I said to myself, I went and took of my sanders, I donât want it to tear, and kept my purse. He gazed at my feet, I felt embarrassed, is it ugly, did I do something wrong.
âYou know, must girls will complain, saying the ground is hard or hot, but not you Barbie, and for that you just earned a pointâ what point, I pondered I just smile
He went aside and removed his hoodie, I thought he would stop at that but he removed his shirt, I clearly saw the muscle line on his back, he is well built.
He turned to me, so this is what heâs been hiding under that hoodie, my throat went dry my face heats up, and am glad he always wear hoodie to school for I wonât stand it if girls looks at him like am doing now.
âClose your lips barbie, flies my enterâ he said smiling, I shook my head getting a hold of myself. âHere,be Tue firstâ he said giving me the ball.
âGame onâ I said, we started playing, its hard, way harder than I thought, I keep messing up even when he gives me a free shot. The game is now 20-0 obviously heâs 20, am already panting and he have hardly break a sweat.
âOK, last time, throw the shot and if you get then you winâ he said giving me the ball, I smiled, I took it and position. I closed my eyes, remembered his Lucas scot (one tree hill) always make the shot, I opened my eyes and threw, I watched as the fall soar up, at its peak it came down like a king fisher heading to take its prey. While the kingfishers prey is fish, mine is the net, the ball came down and hits the ground magnificently but missing its target, I slumped down and I heard him laugh, his rich throaty laugh.
He came to me and ben down, you lost, he said, I looked at him, though it was exhausting playing with him, but the fun was unparalled, the 30 minutes with him is a million time better than a day with Kevin.I gazed at him, heâs directly in front of me, all it requires is just a little push and our lips will lock, I looked down at his lips and my heart beat increased, I felt myself propelled forward.
