Chapter 4

• Her eyes met my eyes, she didn't move for a minute, and the shocked, stricken look in her eyes grew more intense but she laughed and walked towards me smiling, " Hey...Baby, what are you doing here?" She asked me and turned to look at Xavier who stood with me.
• I kept mute and looked at her and Xavier once again before I spoke." I came to chill, you know see the movies", I feigned a chuckle.
• Then I directed the question to both of them "So what are you two doing here?" I said, maintaining a calm voice free of suspicion from my angle.
• "Well, I just met Xavier here.. and it's quite a coincidence that you are here too," She said, still smiling at me as I wondered where she got the nerve to betray me, lie in my presence, and still smile while maintaining a poker face.
• "Well, it's really a coincidence. Bye," I turned myself and decided to walk out but Jamie grabbed me from behind trying to talk to me.
• " Wait, Becky..." She called my real name which she rarely called." Is there anything you want to tell me if you don't mind? I am busy too" I retorted sarcastically with anger burning in me.
• Grabbing my hands she said, " Hey, I know that you are pissed up but I didn't go home with my mom again. Like I told you I was busy but apparently.." she began stuttering as if she was thinking about what to say.
• I threw my eyes on Xavier who still stood there speechless.
• "Apparently, I decided to stop by and coincidentally I met Xavier here and here you are too" She came closer to me and brushed my hair away from my face.
• If only she knew how much she had drained me.
• " It's okay then so what next, Xavier..? Is there any problem? I mean you look scared or something " I said to him and he took steps closer.
• With a nod, he replied "No it's nothing, did you just come in now? "
• " No no, I came in here about an hour ago"
• " You mean the cinema?"
• " No I mean the toilet" I replied and smiled mischievously.
• " Well, we just came in now"
• "Good for you tho" I replied bluntly and he asked, "Why are you sounding and speaking this way?" He said in a hurt voice.
• "Make me understand Xavier or you both excuse me because like I already mentioned. I am busy" I wasn't moved by his hurtful facade.
• "Okay then, I mean I am really surprised to see you here," He said and Jamie chipped in, "Me too. We could have fun together then" She replied but I slammed back.
• " Why shouldn't you be surprised to see him here? What a pleasant coincidence "
• My voice rained with a sarcastic tone then I smiled and let out a faint laugh before I continued.
• " Yeah, we could have fun together. Really?" I couldn't contain and control my anger and frustration anymore as I let it out
• "It's a surprise to me too because I am seeing you both here and it's a surprise to me in your case Xavier" I paused and walked to him and my face was just a few inches away from his face.
• " You told me you were busy right?" I asked him and watched him raise his finger and trace his hair behind his ear and then rubbed his neck.
• Hesitantly he responds"Umm..yeah, I finished up the project"
• I never knew he was a pretty good liar," okay so.. it took you less than twenty minutes to finish the work and come down here within seconds?" I asked but I never really needed an answer already.
• Looking up from her phone Jamie "Umm..Becky.. I think I need to leave now. My mom just texted me to come home for some personal stuff so I'd be running off"
• " Shishhh... wait. You ain't running off to nowhere until I am done talking"
• I commanded because I knew that story was made up and only an excuse to free herself from the suspense and fear within her.
• " Oops, why are you sounding and acting rude?" She asked me.
• " Let me finish what I was saying before you leave, I don't care" I smirked
• I looked back at Xavier but he broke eye contact.
• "And as much as you are surprised. I am more than surprised because surprise is an understatement. I am surprised that you told me you were so busy"
• " But I just ex.." Xavier tried cutting me up but I continued talking "Shishhh, let me talk." I could already see that he was sweating.
• "I know it's getting hot from the way you are sweating so I would just sprinkle or rather break the ice. I saw... myself." I paused.
• " I mean I saw what you did, behind the door. " I asked them.
• "You saw what?" Jamie asked but I could feel her heart thumping.
• Turning to Jamie now I continued, " You said we should have fun together because of the coincidence but I don't think I need to share in the fun anymore and in case you are wondering why.
• You guys have already had a lot of fun and I think you both should rest"
• " What do you mean Babe?" Xavier asked me.
• " If you dare call me babe again, we'd both land in a cell. What surprises me more is how you guys are covering up and pretending. Well, if you want to understand the parables I am speaking. I'd break it down."
• " I saw what happened in there, you guys were making out and you Jamie was moaning from his hard drills," I said almost in a laugh.
• " Babe, I can explain"
• "Just shut up Enough this pretense" I growled through my clenched teeth puffing and slamming the door close to me
• The flames of hell were nurturing the monster of anger inside of me.
• A single tear dropped in Jamie's eye before tears started streaming down Jamie's face.
• " I am sorry Jamie, I can explain."
• " Stop all this pretense Jamie. I am done and as for you Xavier I am done with this relationship."
• " Jamie, you are a disgrace to friendship," I said walking away as tears started welling down my eyes.
• I wiped it off with my handkerchief and saw that the mascara had smeared on my face.
• Anger burned within me and I said to myself " I shouldn't wipe my expensive mascara for no boy"
• Sprinkle sprinkle.
