SHANTEL

I have never felt this lonely in my life. My phone is broken and I have no one to talk to. I cant believe Mike hasn't come to see me for four days. From Leo to my Dad and now Mike is in the picture. I must say I am really vulnerable. Leo could just come here at anytime and do whatever he intends to do to me with that threatening text. I just dont want to lose myself but I feel like it.

As I exhale my cigarette at the comfort of my room, I can feel a little bit of calmness. Looking back at everything that has been part of my bad temperament since childhood, my Mum was the big picture. She sold my Dads bussiness and ran away.

Mike was the only person who i got and i really have done dirt to him for the past couple of days. I dont know what have got into me.

It was around 7:00pm when I decided to go and see Mike. I put on a bralet designer top with Jeans, snake choker and a white trainers. I grabbed my bag and placed a mini dress inside. I took a good look at my freshly straightened hair and was impressed how thick it looks. I had on a light mascara, face powder and a red lipstick.
Took my home and car keys and headed for the door.

What are you doing here at this time? Mike said with an immediate effect as soon as he opened his main door.

Can I come in? I asked while pushing him back lightly.

Its nice and cosy in here, I said while ahead of him.

Mike came to the living room with some refreshment from the kitchen.

I was really glad to see him. He was really good looking. He is fit for a model.
As he was pouring out the drinks, I was just staring at his fresh hair cut , his brown chocolate skin and all the way down to his huge muscles.

There you go, he handed me the drink.

Thank you, I said eagerly.

Mike sat a metre closer to me.
I moved closer to touch his hair and said nice hair cut. Looks good on you

So what brought you here at this time, he changed the subject like he hate compliments.
It was so strange that I have never complimented Mike since childhood when my dad adopted him. We did have love and hate relationship which was so funny. People would think he is my boyfriend and not a brother because he is from a different ethnic group. I always had to explain to them. He has got very nice brown skin and he is about 6ft tall.
I would say he did look like a man.

Can you not say thank you at least?

Shantel its ten oclock and its really unusual that your here. Mike said with a straight face

Well I came to see you because I miss you that's all. Haven't seen you the longest in four days or you not happy to see me too?

That's not my point. I.....

I interuppted and said bluntly Listen I know is late but I needed someone to talk to and that person is you.

I thought you needed your own space after everything that went on the last time I saw you. Mike replied

Mike was right about what he just said. I needed time to meditate to realise how much I will miss him. He is such a gentleman.

I am really sorry for everything I have done and said to you. I said with a soft tone while sitting next to him



MIKE


I really don't understand Shantel these days. Feels like she is going insane.
Dressed up at this time in my house like a night out with friends. Shantel looked really beautiful in her top.
The top looked something that I can't even describe.
It looked like a see through bra attached with a shirt and I can see flesh on her chest because of the see through. I have not seen her wearing her blonde hair down for a very long time.
Her hair was touching all the way to her butt. The choker she was wearing looked like it's made of a snake design.

"It's ok Little Madam". "No need to apologise". I took a sip of my drink.

There was a little silence that you can hear a pen drop.

Your huge, Shantel started feeling my muscles for a good 5 seconds. It was so uncomfortable and just random.
I don't know what the hell she is doing.

It's enough now, I moved Shantels hand away and shifted a bit.

Maybe is time for you to go now. I said while rubbing the back of my head.

Shantel shifted closer and tried to grab my left arm again as I held onto her arms and told her to stop.

Come on now, don't play that kind of games with me. I got up feeling really agitated.

Ok fine whatever. She rolled her eyes at me.

Come now, am going to drop you off, you can park your car here because I know you had too many shots to drink.

Am not drunk, Shantel said with her reddish blue eyes wide open looking straight at me defensively. She looked really high.

Ok fine, let's go now, I uttered.

At this point I was ready to shout at her. I have got to wake up early in the morning to run some errands for my mum and here we are talking pointlessly.

I am sleeping over, She said while walking off to upstairs.

Is she being serious, I thought to myself.

Shantel, this isn't the time for this. Come on. I followed her to where she was trying to go.

Am going to make my self comfortable in your spare room. Thank you.

At that moment I just felt like dragging her out but there is no way I can do that without not looking the bad person.

What is actually wrong with this young lady?
She lost her damn mind even when she is sober it still doesnt make a lot of difference.

It's really becoming too much for me.
