💄Wendy's💄

*Three weeks and so many heart aches later*

I and my family attended first mass until three Sunday's ago.

Okay, the truth be told I was trying to evade Jeremy, I made sure I stopped attending same mass with him.

After I got back from his house three weeks ago. thankfully papa wasn't back yet, fanny wanted to know everything that happened, she was so enthusiastic about it. I told her nothing happened. she kept on pressing not believing me, and I wondered why?

"Something happened Wendy, you flushing and.. She said coming closer to my face, you're angry,
Oh my God she exclaimed, eye candy wasn't good" she exaggerated

What do you mean  eye candy wasn't good". I asked her

"Oh Wendy, stop being a big baby", she said giving a funny demonstration with her waist.

I covered my eyes with my palms smiling feeling more embarrassed, and falling in love with fanny, she was funny in a weird way. So I had no choice but to open up, told her everything that happened, in the process of talking I found out she was easy to talk to.

"his loss" she said. If I was a boy that body of yours she demonstrated by drawing my curvy body in the air wouldn't pass me by.

"I wasn't offering myself Fanny" I said alarmed

"But you were obviously interested" she retorted

I went quiet for a while and replied her.

"I am too young and a v... . I paused, almost saying the V word.

Your are too young for what, you are a what? She asked surprised.
I looked the other way, completely ignoring her.

Thank Goodness papa came back and I had to go home. I was quiet throughout our ride home, but papa and Ronda didn't seem to mind, they kept chatting about the events that happened where they visited.

We got home and I told papa I wanted to change mass, surprisingly Ronda was in support. She started bitching about how the first mass was too early and how she sometimes dose off in church, I had to stiffen a laugh, after much papa please, from me and come on dad from Ronda papa finally agreed.

"10am mass it is then" he said

That actually brightened the rest of my day knowing I won't be seeing Jeremy again, I needed to close his chapter.

Now that we were back to grandpa's house for our regular Sunday visits, I went straight to Fanny's room, we started talking more and surprisingly became close. During one of our many phone conversations, she sometimes tells me she saw Jeremy, and how she feels he was sleeping with Rosny friend, who also was her friend, yeah, fanny told me his story, not that I asked her, but she made it a point of duty to keep up with him and relates the news back to me. I told her severally I wasn't interested but she never want to hear of it. So, I let her be, and eventually I became interested. He was a scholar, and intelligence interests me. I was sapiosexual.

laying on my back in Fanny's room, she sat at her reading table relating latest news about everyone in the family and crowning it all with Jeremy's gossip, I did like I wasn't interested, deep down I was interested but I didn't want to give her the impression.

She left to answer grandpa who wanted her to get some things from his room for my Pa.

Ronda was in the sitting room catching up on some zee world series, she loved twist of fate.

So I had time to to myself.

Fanny rushed into the room

I sat up immediately, "what's up, why are you running"

"Eye candy is here" she said looking at the door.

I sat up from her bed, recognising who she referred to as eye candy. "what does he want" I said looking for a place to hide.

"what are you doing" fanny asked me mischievously, a few minute ago I could have sworn you were not interested, she rolled her eyes, "and again he ain't Coming into my room."

"oh" I said straightening my mini skit which showed a lot of legs.

"Anyways,_" she started shyly "I took him outside for you, he wants to see you"

My eyes popped opened "my papa's outside" I replied alarmed

"Nope, she replied "calm down, your dad's at the backyard, playing chess with our grandpa"

My breath I didn't realize I was holding finally came off.
"you better be fast" she said happily.

"Why are you so happy" I asked her creasing my brows

"I love you guys together." she said winking at me.

"Are you sure that's just it" I asked feeling she ain't telling me the whole truth.

"Go now, before cute zaddy thinks you ain't coming".

I came out of Fanny's room passing Ronda who was so glued to twist of fate. Thank Goodness I said silently she would have asked me where I was heading to, and I hate to lie.

Coming out I saw Jeremy seating on the couch grandpa uses on the patio, he stood up immediately he saw me.

"Wendy" he called

Every bitter thought, hatred I have harbored for him this past few weeks evaporated.

I missed him. 'Are you okay' my inner mind asked me, missed who? Do you know him. I crossed my hands across my chest. A sort of defense mechanism for me.

He had this Solemn look on his face, he came closer to me. I stepped back, it was a reflex action after what happened the last time, I didn't want it repeating itself, and not in my grandpa's house.

He looked down at my legs, then looked up again with a stern look.

"I'm sorry about the last time" he went straight to the point giving me an impression he was bored and needed to be out of here so fast.

"I feel its the right thing to do" he stopped and looked towards the streets.

My suspicions were right, he wanted to leave.

"Okay, you did nothing," I said softly, looking at my toes remembering the our little escapade.

"You said you wanted my story"

"Not anymore" I said out fast.

Though my reply was harsh I didn't want him telling me anything that would make me more vulnerable than I already am. I have heard enough from Fanny. I thought

"Anyways, I will be travelling to Denmark on Wednesdays on a scholarship" He rushed his words,
"It was nice meeting you Wendy, I hope we remain friends" he finished"

He peered at me for a long time, I guess so many thoughts going through his mind. with no other words, he turned around and left me gazing after him.

'Why was i feeling so sad' I wanted his chapter closed right, so why this feeling of loosing something precious, that's because the feeling of not seeing him again was different from you might one day bump into him. My inner most self replied. At that, my vision blurred and a tear fell from my eyes. That instant I knew a part of me left. The feelings was just too strong, feeling that I lost a friend....

Yeah! Second update.

I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it.
