One Hundred And Five

I just sat there on his bed and watched as he walked from corner to corner with clothes or books, putting them in the right places.

He came and left a shirt with me."Please remind me to wear it once I'm done. I don't want to mistakenly put it away." 

"Okay," I answered, but the second he looked away, I tucked the shirt under his bed's blanket. I didn't want him to put it on, I liked his torso easily accessible for my eyes.

"...And done." He stood in the middle of his room, hands akimbo as he looked around to make sure he was really done.

"Come here," I called sweetly and a smile immediately lined his lips. He came to where I sat on the bed and opened his palm, probably assuming that I called him to give his shirt to him.

I got on my feet and placed my arms around his neck."You want to cuddle in nothing but our socks and underwear?" I whispered and saw the his smile still lingering on the edge of his lips.

"That would be nice," he curved his right arm around my waist,"But did you forget why you came over? We planned to read..."

"And we will," I cut him short with a light shrug, but since I came early, maybe we can do something more interesting till the time I was supposed to come." I winked and he smiled with his teeth out this time, but didn't make any move. He was still overthinking it.

I decided to take off my jacket and watched his smile turns into a smirk, and I just knew I was getting him. I freed myself of him and took off my top next.

He tugged on his belt and began to take off his jeans. Left in nothing but my bra and panty, I sat on his bed and gave myself a boost to push myself to lie back comfortably on his bed. In his boxer and socks, he joined me in bed, slowly approaching me till he balanced in between my legs.

His face in my chest, and my legs wrapped around his torso, I hugged him the more he snuggled me. I felt the tip of his nose trail my up my cleavage, all the way to my neck.

I giggled–It felt ticklish. He joined in the next time I giggled, I guess my laugh was contagious.

We were on it when my phone lit up at the far end of the bed where it was. "Nick," Uche helped check who was calling before getting off of me.

"Probably not important," I groaned, not wanting to stop what we were doing.

"..." Uche's words were cut short by an alarming doorbell sound that shocked me back into Uche's arms. He began to laugh.

"Is that your door bell?" I asked, not laughing with him because I was shocked when it rang.

The bell rang again and I turned to Uche, really wanting to know why his doorbell was so freaking loud.

"My dad upgraded the system so I could hear when he gets back and he doesn't have the house keys." He explained,"You can still hear it if you have your ears covered with earphones." He sighed.

"I'm guessing that was the inspiration behind the upgrade," I laughed and checked my phone again when it rang.

"What the hell, Nick? I'm not even owing you money." I ranted when I picked up the call. Uche started putting his trouser back on, I frowned.

"Is Uche with you?"

"What do you think? I'm at his house."

"Well, he ain't picking his calls. Tell him to come get the door, I'm waiting." He demanded and I just scoffed.

"I'm not telling him shit if you talk to me like that."

"Come on, it's important..." I heard him and just sighed, about to end the call and I guess he knew what I planned to do."Fine. Sorry."

"What was that?" I asked like I didn't hear him but heard him hiss.

"Julie..."

"Tell him yourself," I gave the phone to Uche and headed to his bathroom to pee.

"You going to the bathroom?" Uche's attention turned to me when I got to the bathroom's door. I stood there and stared at him, wondering why he'd ask that when I was right in front of the door that led to the bathroom.

"I'll call you back with my phone, just give me a min." He told Nick over the phone and joined me where I stood."It's messy too; the bathroom. I'll just clean it up real quick." He went into the bathroom and closed the door behind him while I just stood there.

I did my best not to let my curiousity get the best of me but failed so badly. Turning the door handle slowly not to make any noise, I popped my head in the bathroom and saw him picking up a bunch of papers and shoving them into a cabinet after tossing some into the bin there.

He felt my presence and slowly turned his head to me like I had caught him in a crime."What are you doing?" I walked in after he saw me secretly watching.

"Huh?" He asked and I just knew that was to buy time to build a lie, I did that myself way too often.

"I've gotta pee..." I reminded him and he nodded before looking around to check for what I don't know."Ucheeee," I dragged his name to let him know i was really pressed.

"Sorry," he kept the things in his hands and left. I look around myself after he shut the door behind him.

I went to the WC and noticed it was dry and clean, like everywhere else. The bathroom wasn't dirty, why did he...

My thoughts got distracted when I saw a drawing on the floor. It was a pencil drawing of...me? I picked it up and stared at it for a while.

Was this what he was looking for when he stood checking around earlier? I looked much more beautiful in the drawing. My hair was shaded and my cheeks were highlightedto show how full they were.

I found myself smiling at the drawing while I peed. I would have loved it if he gave this to me after drawing instead of keeping it to himself.

"Isn't that your shirt she's wearing?" Nick asked Uche when I joined them downstairs. Uche looked up from his phone and screened me from head to toe, then he smiled.

"Looks good on her," Uche commented and I couldn't help but chuckle at the disgust on Nick's face.

"I thought so too when I checked the mirror," I agreed.

Nick rolled his eyes."April gave that to him on his last birthday."
