LOVE BITE

I took a deep breath immediately I was outside his house. I know my words were a little harsh to him but I couldn't help it, I can't have him play with my feelings.

Just remembering how he talked to that girl made me want to go back in there and kick him all over again. I wish I had this feelings for someone else or than Dax.

I went back to see Gia, when I arrived she was in the sitting room eating some snacks and watching movie. I walked passed her and took the fruit juice I saw on the table and drank it in one go.

"Brianna, are you okay?"

"I don't even know, I can't even tell what happened" I replied still lost in my own thoughts.

"You look like you just saw a ghost" Gia said sitting beside me.

"I don't even know Gia, am still confused"

"Did Dax say something to you?"

"Not really, I actually slapped him"

"What, again, what did he do this time around?"

"I met another girl at his house and the way he talked to her, he even called her a whore which got me angry in some seconds" I said but Gia was busy staring elsewhere.

"What are you doing?" I asked her when she took my hair away from my neck as she came close to me.

"Why do you have a hickey on your neck?" My hand flew to neck immediately covering it up, I actually forgot that the kiss Dax gave me on the neck will surely leave a hickey.

"Brianna start talking, what happened between you and Dax? Did you slap him and he gave you a love bite in return?" Gia asked frowning her face.

"Will you look at the time, I better get going am sure my Mum will be looking for me by now" I said trying to avoid having this discussion with her.

Gia took me off guard when she took my phone from me and dialed Eric's number.

"Hello Eric, is me Gia"

"Hi Gia, how are you doing today?" I heard Eric ask from the other line since Gia made sure she put the call to my hearing.

"Am fine"

"What about your leg?"

"Am fine, I called to let you know that Brianna is with me"

"Oh, okay"

"Do me a favour and tell mum not to worry about Brianna since she is here with me"

"Okay I will"

"Bye" Gia said finally ending the call.

"Now start talking" she said glaring at me.

"I kinda kissed Dax again, but trust me it was an accident"

"You kissed him again, really Brianna? I might be able to accept the fact that the one of yesterday was a mistake because you were drunk but today you are totally sober"

"I also don't know how it happened, I was trying to get his phone from him and some how we both fell and it happened" I replied her avoiding her glance.

"I clearly told you not to go inside didn't I?"

"Yeah I know but his house was so beautiful and big, I couldn't resist it"

"Okay let's just say you want inside because his has was super cool but you could have just stop the kiss if you wanted to"

"I know but whenever he kisses me I don't normally think straight again. I mean Gia what is this feeling, why can't I get rid of it?" I asked Gia as I grabbed her hand.

"I think you have a thing for Dax"

"What do you mean by a thing?"

"Is either you have feelings for him or you are crushing on him, just like am crushing on your brother" Gia said trying to explain.

"Gia I know the meaning of crush, but why Dax? Why that jerk, why can't it be someone else, someone that is reasonable and also have a human heart"

"Just like I said no one can understand the heart, not even you the owner. I think your hatred for Dax is someone turning to love"

"Hell no, love my foot. Why will I want to love someone like him, he will simply mess me up"

"Why will you say that?" I stared at Gia like she has grown two tails.

"Why will you even ask me a question like that, have you seen the way he treats our gender. I can never let him treat me that way, no matter what this feeling is I am going to get rid of it"

"I know Dax is a jerk but we shouldn't judge a book by its cover you know. Think of it have you ever ask him the reason why he treats women the way he did?"

"No matter what reason he has, no one deserves to be treated like a trash or like you are nothing"

"I know you are right but I will suggest you ask him his reasons and also hear him out"

"Whatever, all I know is that this thing going on right here, the kiss and everything I will get rid of it. There is no way am letting him anywhere close to me"

"Whatever your decision is I support you, but wait, you do know we have a bigger situation at hand" Gia said.

"What happened, what's the problem?"

"How are you going to cover that hickey, your Mum will surely want to know how her daughter came to have a hickey on her neck. And also wear a cloth that will cover up your shoulders"

"Why?"

"Because you have another one close your breast Brianna" immediately she said that I felt like covering up my face.

"I can't believe this is happening to me"

"Just avoid him as much as you Can, okay?"

"I wish I can Gia, but he has this video of me dancing and twerking last night. I was only trying to get that phone and delete that embarassment from his phone when everything happened"

"Relax he will be the one to delete the video from his phone all you have to do is give him some attitude and he will"

"Do you really think that will work?"

"I know it will, now come let me Cover up those love bite with some makeup"

"Can you stop calling it love bite?"

"Why?"

"Because Dax and I are not in love with each other so is not a love bite but a hickey or a kiss mark" I said trying to get Gia to stop saying love bite, she makes it sound like Dax and I are in love, but instead Gia just laughed at me.

"Fine stop glaring at me already I won't call it love bite again, happy?"

"Let's just go to your room" I helped her inside as she used a foundation to cover up the kiss mark. By the time I got home in the evening my mum was waiting for me at the doorstep.

"Hey mum, am hungry" I said in a childishly manner and hugged her.

"My baby girl is hungry, guess what?"

"What?"

"I made your favourite"

"Really?" I asked her as I ran into the kitchen but my mum beat me to the pot.

"Yes I really made your favourite and the only way you will get to taste it is if I confirm that Dax received his cookies and chocolate"

"Really mum, you want to starve your own daughter because of some stranger"

"Who said he is a stranger, he is your brother's best friend so he is not a stranger"

"Fine he is not a stranger now can I eat?"

"No, you are going to call him and I will confirm if he received my gift"

"Mum I really don't have the strength for this and besides I don't have his number"

"Leave that to me, Eric!!"

"Yes, mum"

"Can you come down for a bit?" I just stood staring at my mum as she kept staring at me with a smile that Spelt nothing but trouble.

"Mum you called?"

"Yes I need your friend's number I need to confirm one or two things myself" I just kept sighing every now or then while waiting for my Mum to conclude with her call.

"Fine, you can eat Dax just confirmed that you gave him the gift and even more, am so proud of you" my mum said as she placed a kiss on my cheek.

If only she knows what he meant when he said and more. I had my dinner and headed for my room to rest.

By Monday morning I was still thinking about how to end things with Jake. I wasn't planning on slapping him like all those girls did with Dax, he don't even deserve my slap.

"I need to see our history teacher, go on without me" Gia said before she left. I was walking down the school hallway when I saw Jake, he stood at the entrance of my classroom waiting for me I guess.

"Hey babe" he greeted me with a sweet smile on his face.

"Hey" I simply replied.

"Where were you at the night of prom, I was looking for you to present my surprise" he asked.

"I was with you" I replied him leaving him confused.

"With me?" He asked.

"Yes with you that I was able to witness this" I said showing him the photos I took on the night of prom. He was shocked to find that on my phone.

"Am not here to scream or cause a scene, the prom is over and so are we"

"Brianna wait, I can explain"

"Explain what exactly, that you fucked Molly right in front of me. Don't make a big deal out of this after all you said you were going to end things with me, so consider this as a favour"

I said and brushed past him, am glad this is over.
