Just A Kiss

Episode 10

Just a kiss

Hazel Dakota

The weekend went by really fast and it was soon Monday

I dragged myself up from the bed and walked slowly into the bathroom

I felt so weak ,my breast sore and I was also having mild headache

Could it be my period? no way , It wasn't due yet and to prove my point, I was not stained!

I returned to the room when I was done freshening up and hurriedly dressed up in a white gown I recently bought

Wow! I exclaimed, staring at the mirror, I looked so different!

The gown brought out all of my curves and I was sure Hardin won't......gosh!

Did I just say Hardin! ...

well! I wanted him to look at me differently

Just then I heard someone cough and I looked in the direction to see Alexia already awake

Good morning baby!

I greeted first

Why didn't you wake me? She asked with a frown and I smiled lightly

That is because it is still early !

I answered, pointing at the wall clock

It was still 6:45 am!

Oh! Then why are you up so early? She probed, rubbing the sleep crust off her eyes and I huffed

Are you really asking me that! you should know I have to get to the Castillo mansion on time so I can attend to Hardin ..

Your baby ! She said with an eye roll and I smirked

She is just too stubborn!

Combing out my long hair , I plaited it into a bun and applied little makeup

Omoo! What are you trying to do sis? Alexia asked , staring at me like i was a ghost

And what does it looks like to you?

You don't apply this shit so why doing it now? She continued

That is because erm That is because erm .

I stuttered not knowing what to say and she laughed loudly

ha! ha! It is obvious someone is trying to please a guy......

so tell me is it Mike ? She taunted and I scoffed

Shut up Alexia ! I barked

hearing the name Mike made me nervous .....

well! I guess it is because of his "relationship proposal", I mean i was still confused about what to say to him !!!

Though confused, I was sure about one thing, I like Mike as a friend .....

Putting on my sandals, I picked up my hand bag from the bed and was about leaving the room when a strong pain hit me in the abdomen

arrrgh!

I groaned closing my eyes as I tried to absorb the pain

Are you alright sis?

Alexia asked and I quickly composed myself

Sure! It is just a slight pain . I assured as she stared at me worriedly

Are you sure about that? She asked to be sure and I nodded

Bye sis. I bade and scurried out of the room to the sitting room

my mum was still sleeping peacefully on the on the sofa and not wanting to disrupt her sleep , i leaned over to peck her before leaving for the taxi station

By the time I got to the taxi station, The day was already bright and without wasting time , I flagged down a taxi and got in

I leaned in the seat as the same pain hit me again

No, it can't be my period! it really can't be!

Where to miss? the driver snapped me out of my thoughts and I smiled lightly

The Castillo mansion.

I said as he stared curiously at me through the rear mirror and then he drove off ....

My phone suddenly beeped signifying a text message

bringing the phone out of my bag , I clicked on it , it was a message from Mike

"Good morning Haz! how are you doing, can I call you now?"

I quickly replied him

"No, I am busy for now "

I knew I was being unfair to him but I really do not know what to say to him !!!!

The driver stopped in front of the mansion and I alighted from the car just in time to see Mrs Castillo drive out of the house

Winding down the car window, she nodded towards me and then zoomed off

Where is she going?

I wondered, walking through the already opened gate to the house

I met no one in the sitting room so I climbed up the stairs to Hardin room and on entering his room , I found him standing in front of the mirror combing his hair

Good morning!

I greeted and he looked in my direction

Morning! he responded

his eyes raked down my body and back up , he didn't even try to subtle it

You look so different!

he remarked and I blushed

How different? I asked expecting him to say the word "beautiful" but instead, he just smirked and

continued with what he was doing

What! Is he for real? I dressed all up for him and he couldn't even compliment me! he is so rude and crazy

Don't just stand there , go get me water . he said , distracting me from my thoughts and I scoffed

Did you just scoff at me? he asked turning to face me and I moved back a little as his deep green eyes bored into mine

No erm I mean I was just joking. I stuttered

he stared at me for a while and then sighed

Go get me water!

Taking few steps to the door, he caught me by my arms and made me face him

What? I mouthed at him and he scoffed

Are you really a girl? he asked as I shot him a confused look

Don't tell me this is how you have been walking around? he continued with a miff

What the hell are you talking about? I asked still not understanding what he meant

And without answering me , he picked up a sweatshirt from his reading table and threw it to me

I looked at the sweat shirt and then back at him

What should I do with it?

Cover up your stained gown. he drawled and looked away

Stained gown! What is he taking....

wait a minute!My period ! Hardin saw the stains on my gown!

How embarrassing!

I immediately wished for the ground to swallow me up

What are you waiting for , go get me the water. he repeated for the third time

quickly , I tied the sweatshirt around my waist and scurried out of his room to the kitchen ....

Entering the kitchen, I met Rebecca doing the dishes

And on seeing me ,she glared at me and hissed

Why? I asked , staring at her in surprise but she didn't respond , instead she dropped the dish sponge inside the sink and stomp out of the kitchen

What is wrong with her? I wondered

Opening the refrigerator, I brought out a bottled water and then ran up the stairs to Hardin room !

he was about leaving the room when I walked in , and with a nervous smile , I handed him the bottled water

Are you alright? he asked with a straight face and I nodded

It was hard to tell what he was thinking! Do I disgust him now!!

Off to school! he said , gulping down the water as he walked out of the room ....

I looked around the messed up room and sighed softly

I was to weak to do a thing , I really need to rest!

I walked out of his room and headed to my small room

entering the room, I tossed my bag on the bed and went over to the bathroom to clean up my self and on returning to the room , I collapsed on the bed

I was in pains , it was as if my abdomen was being ripped apart

I kept on rolling on the bed till I drifted off to sleep .....
