CHAPTER FOURTEEN: HEY SLEEPY HEAD

Since my breakup with Khalil, Christopher and I haven't had the chance to talk about us. After school activities, my focus has been on Amira. We'd binge the Originals and talk about how boys are stupid and she was gradually getting over Greg.

"Honestly, I'm fine. You guys should talk already" Amira said after I ignored Christopher's call for the second time.

"No, it's fine. I'll call him later" I said but was hoping she'd insist.

"No really, it's fine. Aya invited me to hang out anyway" Amira answered.

"Okay" I said hurriedly before she changed her mind and I went to my bed to return Christopher's call.

"Hey, sorry I missed your call. I'm here now" I said to Christopher on the phone.

"It's fine, figured you were with Amira. How's she by the way?" he asked with concern.

"She's fine, she's actually preparing to hang out with Aya" I answered

"Oh that's nice, should I come to keep your company?" he asked

"That'd be great but it's almost nine. Isn't it late already?" I answered

"I know it is but I miss you, Zee. I haven't seen you in almost two weeks now" he said

"I miss you too and you know it Chris" I answered. It took a lot of willpower for me to not leave Amira hanging and go to him instead.

"I know, if I can't come to yours will you come to mine?" he asked

"It's the same thing, babe. It's late for me to come to yours too" I answered

"Okay, then you'll leave tomorrow or something" he said

"Like a sleepover?" I asked for confirmation

"Yeah, you know I stay alone so there won't be any disturbance" he answered

"I like that, let me just pack a few things and I'll be on my way" I answered

"Okay, I'll be on my way now" he said

"On your way?" I asked

"Yeah, I'll come to pick you" he answered

"Okay" I said whilst blushing.

"Yeah, see you soon" he said before hanging up.

A few more minutes after he hung up, I heard a knock at the door and I got so excited to see him that I left what I was doing to answer the door.

"Oh, hey" I said with disappointment written on my face.

"Damn girl, you expecting someone?" Aya asked

"She's expecting Christoper" Amira answered and they both laughed playfully. I pouted playfully and went back to styling my hair.

"See you later babes" Amira said before leaving the room with Aya.

"Have fun" I answered

"Those two look ready to make bad choices in those outfits" Christopher said as he walked in minutes after they left the room.

"Right, they said they're going to drink and dance away their sorrow" I answered

"I see" he replied

"Yeah, we can leave now. I'm done" I managed to say before he pulled me in for a kiss. He ran his hands on my back and held me even tighter, I was enjoying it and I moaned with pleasure. He pulled away embarrassingly after a few seconds and then my eye caught the bulge in his knickers.

"Chris" I shouted playfully

"It's not my fault you look so sexy" he said with a shy smile.

"It's okay, don't be shy" I replied with a smile. He nodded and took a deep breath before we left.

"Babe, should we stop to get something to eat or just order in?" Chris asked while driving us to his place.

"I'll cook, what do you have?" I asked innocently

"Cook? Why?" he asked

"I don't know, I'm trying to be a good girlfriend I guess" I answered

"That's funny but I already know for a fact you are and I like that" he replied

"Like what?" I asked

"You referred to yourself as my girlfriend. I missed that" he answered sweetly

"Aww babe" I said giggling happily

"So, what should we get?" he asked stopping as the traffic light turned red

"I honestly don't know. I'm not hungry so probably something light" I replied

"Okay, what do you think of pizza?" he asked

"Would you believe it if I told you I haven't had it ever?" I said

"Shit! Really? Now you've got to try it" he said before driving off at the change of the traffic light.

"Is it worth the hype thou?" I asked

"Only you can be the judge of that babe but you have to try it to find out" he replied

"Okay then, let's get me pizza" I said excitedly

***

After partying all night, Amira woke up with the craziest hangover but somehow Aya wasn't phased.

Amira's Pov

"Hey, sleepy head" Aya said jokingly as she saw me sit up on her bed.

"What the hell happened? Feels like I was hit on the head with a brick" I answered weakly

"With the way you drank, I won't be surprised if you hit your head" she replied teasingly

"Damn, I took that much? Well, you seem fine, how'd that happen?" I asked with curiosity

"I had only a few shots but girl you had the whole bar. I wanted to stop you but it seemed like you were having fun" she said

"Oh damn, not so fun right now" I said and we both burst out laughing.

"Here, take this and I'll fix you something to eat" she said before giving me a tablet to take.

"What's that? You're not trying to kill me are you?" I said jokingly

"Girl please, if I wanted to, all I had to do was let you take another bottle. Jokes aside, it'll help with the hangover"

"Aya!" I exclaimed jokingly

"Do you remember anything from last night?" she asked with a poker face.

"No it's all blurry, I didn't do something stupid did I?" I asked fearfully

"No babes, you're good" she answered

"Oh great, I really appreciate you being here for me Aya" I said with sincere gratitude.

"I'm always here for you Amira, know that" she said and smiled sweetly at me. I kind of get the vibe something is off with her, I just hope I didn't like, curse her out when I was wasted or something. We had breakfast and spent the rest of the day talking and playing video games.
