ADRIANA
3 weeks later. The officer was satisfied after our explanation and let us go. after some days this tragic news was all over the place Sydney's highlight. The lady's murderer was no one but her own son, It was because of some property the weird cliche stories of rich households but we don't wanna dig into their lives. These past three weeks went quietly. My uni didn't started and Nigel had offs he was in second year while I was a freshman after one week my life could change. These three weeks we both become nice friends we didn't talked much as he was most of the time outside and I was exploring Sydney.
————————
I went to kitchen past midnight my stomach growled while I was about to watch a movie a very cliche movie but it was my favourite conjuring 2. I was looking for some food when I heard footsteps.
Oh gosh I'm about to watch a horror movie but it's happening with me instead.
I stilted at my place holding a bag of chips and bowl of popcorn it was dark I couldn't see properly but my hearing was awesome at the moment. The footsteps came closer more closer. As I felt a touch on my arm.
"Ahhhhhh….." i screamed. "Who is it?" The bag of chips dropped on the floor and the bowl of popcorns rose in the air and hit the unknown presence.
"Ahhh fuck", wait is it Nigel. He switched the lights on.
"The heck you're doing in the kitchen without lights at this hour?" He said rubbing his head.
"Ouch, I'm sorry I was uh actually grabbing stuff to eat for my movie"I said grabbing popcorns spilled on the floor. He didn't respond and crossed his hand over his broad chest. "Anyways what were you doing here?" I asked. While I binned the discarded popcorns.
"I came for the water but you came in between me and refrigerator, by the way what movie you're watching let's watch together I'm getting bored as hell".
"Uh prolly you don't wanna watch its conjuri-" I hadn't completed my sentence.
"What conjuring?, girl it's my favourite movie no movie can scare me but this movie really hold the potential".
"Really it's my favourite movie too no matter how many times I watch it I scare the same" I can't believe we share same interest.
"Like for real". We both took snacks and beverages and went to t.v lounge. We kept the stuff on the table and started the movie.
I mean who haven't watched conjuring 2 yet it's the best horror movie existing, we both were watching the movie covered in comforter it was our only saviour from horror scenes in the movie.
"Ughh what's wrong with you give me the comforter don't keep it whole for you the scene is coming come'on Nigel learn to share" I was snatching the comforter from him he was totally inside it, the nun was about to appear out of the painting. It was the climax and he wasn't sharing the comforter.
"Ahhhhhh" "aughhhh". I jumped on him inside the comforter it was the only option the nun has come we both screamed, me because of nun. Him because I jumped on him. He was pushing me away but I wasn't going to give up on the comforter I held his T-shirt tightly.
. . .
We were watching the climax scene eyes fixed on screen as the movie ended. Credits and real images showing on the screen as he pushed me harshly and we both fall down.
"Ouch Nigel you got no patience" I said getting out of the comforter my heart still racing not because of the movie but the closeness we shared. I knew this was a physical attraction but I didn't wanted to do anything with him cause he seems uninterested in me now like in that sense. Maybe because he respect me or maybe he lost interest cause he is living with me from past almost a month. Like a man getting bored of his wife.
"You wanted me to get scared I know everything that's why i took the comforter for my self". He got out of the comforter and folded it.
"The heck why would I want that you're stupid". I don't get sometimes what he says sometimes lame sometimes stupid.
"Now come'on clean the mess and don't worry I'll work with you" we both cleaned the room and sat again cause it's important to see something nice after a horror movie. It was already 4am but we can't put much care to that.
"What do you wanna watch?" I asked as I ran through movies and series on Netflix.
"Something which will make you jump on me again" he turned his face towards me who was already looking at him with a "are you crazy" expression. he didn't lost interest in me thought which should make me annoyed, maybe confused me that why I wanted him to be interested in me.
"It was a spontaneous action okay it won't happen again". I said as I turned my face again at the screen.
"That's obnoxious" he said I don't know why but I did another spontaneous act, I laughed aloud.
"What's so funny?" He frowned but chuckled.
"Nothing I'm just laughing on myself you know I'm more stupid than you are"
"And why you think like that, I mean that's quite true but how come you understood this so late". This is what I was talking about lame shit.
"Shut up. You won't understand and i have no interest in explaining you all the shit I'm thinking" we were friends but we bicker like siblings, oh not a right word to use for us cause I want anything but us to become siblings.
"If that shit includes me I'm interested". He said as he kept his elbow on the sofa back and leaned closer I could smell his soft shaded smell perfect for night time I could doze off for years in that scent. I wondered if he could smell my scent too?. We were inches apart I wished he loose his shame and kiss me like he was about to that night but he didn't. "You smell nice especially your shampoo". He said and back off, eyes on the screen again. What.just.happened? Omgomgmyheart.
I cleared my throat. "I guess we should sleep now it's too late tomorrow I have to go somewhere" I said I couldn't stay in the moment now he wasn't doing anything and I was craving, I didn't liked myself too much there.
"Yea tomorrow my friends are coming I'm busy whole day it's better if we sleep now" he said. I closed the t.v as we both separated our ways.
I wrote a dairy again for the 16th time now I wrote most about the times when I explored Sydney but today I was about to write about my confusion and everything I felt and happened.
Not lying but today was fun the night part except for the part where he didn't kissed me when he had the chance and I wasn't protesting. But I let the thought slide and slept burying myself into a bundle of pillows while hugging one consuming the whole bed.
