Questionnaire

🍀Alyssa's POV🍀

David and I path ways after he gets a call from Daphne saying she didn't feel too well. I think they've gotten past their rough patch. I head home with Antha and when I get home Zailah is nowhere in sight just like its been the past few days. It's not like I miss her or anything, I'd just feel bad if something were to happen to her. I head to my room and take a shower, once I'm done with my shower and back in my room I remember what David said earlier at the restaurant and dig out the questionnaire Zailah gave me. I skim through it a little and I'm left quite impressed. It's so detailed even though there's almost a hundred questions on it, it's like she thought of and wrote the questions herself.

"Now that I think about it that's something she's quite capable of"

I bury my head fully focused on answering the questions in questionnaire as honest as possible. Time flies by while I'm working on the questionnaire and by the time I finish it's past 8pm, I rush down stairs with the questionnaire to wait for Zailah just in case she comes home today and my phone to keep me company. I binge watch multiple short drama's and eventually fell asleep.

i don't know when i fell asleep nor How long i was asleep for but i remember feeling like i was levitating and open my eyes just to find myself in zailah's arms. i panic and subconciously wrap my arms around Zailah's neck.

"what are you doing?"

"You couldn't have been comfortable sleeping on the couch like that, I was just helping you to your bed"

'And whose fault is it that I was sleeping on the couch in the first place?'

"why were you sleeping there?"

"None of your business"

"You should sleep in your bed"

"Whatever, put me down"

"just stay still, i'll put you down when we get to your room"

I look up at her wanting to retaliate, but for some reason words don't form in my head instead I get drawn into her eyes

"What? Did you just fall in love with me?"

"NO" I say my voice going notes higher than I intended

"I j-just think you advising me on how to sleep is ridiculous when your eye bags are literally on your cheekbones" I retaliate trying to sound as sarcastic as possible.

"So you're worried about me then" she says looking at me

"Hah!, stop trying to twist my words" I respond turning the other way

She lets out a choked chuckle in response and I get even more irritated.

"Put me down already"

"Relax we've almost gotten to your room"

I turn my around and see my room so I relax a little.

She seems to sense my relief and says,

"Has anyone told you how cute you are?"

"You're really trying to piss me off aren't you?" I reply feeling my ears begin to burn up and pray it doesn't turn red. We get to my room door and she puts me down bending her knees to ensure my legs don't hit the ground with force.

"Your ears are red, how cute"'

'fuck they did turn red' I think covering them instinctively. I hate how much of an effect she has on me. I turn around to enter my room but remember the questionnaire and turn back around but slam into zailah's chest.

"Did you get your tits removed?"

"Yeah wanna see"

"What? No!!" I say instantly backing away.

He breaks out in laughter using he hand to cover her mouth.

"I'm kidding, I was just blessed with really small tits. Buttt, I would show you my tits if you want"

"Fuck you" I respond and turn to walk away.

"Didn't you want to tell me something?" She says her voice not doing much to hide her amusement.

"I'll tell you in the morning" I reply still feeling oddly flustered

"hmm? I won't be here in the morning though"

"Ohh right" I say feeling a little more disappointed than I'd ever be willing to admit.

"It's nothing important, I just wanted to return the questionnaire you gave me"

"Oh right, I've been so busy that it slipped my mind. I'll fill it out when I'm free"

"Mmhm' I've filled mine out. It should be on the couch where I was asleep"

"Okay, I'll grab it on my way out"

"You should head in and do what you came back for" I say as I open my door and head in.

"sure good night" she responds before I close my door.

"Yeah same" I mutter in response.

"Don't miss too much okay?" I don't respond and just shut the door

Once the door is positioned between us I take a deep but Shakey breath, not feeling any better I walk to my bed and flop onto it face down. I stay in that position for a couple minutes before flipping over and blankly stare at the top of my bed and finally start doing some thinking, it's been a while since I did.

My head and heart have been a mess for a while now and that's not going to do me any good. I can't afford to fall for her or her games and think about it now her absence might be just what I need, a little space rom her and her misleading actions. I shouldn't feel sad I should feel relieved.

"Yeah, relieved"

'I don't feel very relieved though' I think before dozing off.

*ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR*

"Did I do something wrong?"

'Shes usually more responsive' I mutter to myself.

"Well whatever, I'm probably just overthinking it" I finally say shrugging my shoulder and looking at my watch.

"I should hurry up I need to head back to the office soon"

As I turn around to go to my room for my shower I start feeling extremely dizzy, so much so that I have to lean on the wall for support eventually sitting on the floor and resting my back against the wall. I shove my hand into my pant pocket and pull out a pain killer for my migraine swallow dose and wait a few minutes for it to kick in before getting up and heading to my room to take my shower.
