Chapter 13

Sunday the following day i logged in my instagram account and facebook to find loads of notifications from photo tags. Even elijah tagged me. His birthday party exhausted me yesterday. It was a cool party out of this world experience.
I uploaded few photos of mine.
I spent my sunday doing some washing and school assignments and later in the afternoon as i was watching some netflix from my laptop i heard my phone ringing and on the screen it displayed elijah's name.

"Hello elijah." I received the call.
Elijah: hello princess how you doing?
Me: fine thank you..you sound tired from your voice
Elijah: hehe!..thats why i called you...mmh maybe your voice will cheer me up.
Me: hahaha!..uhhm is that so?
Elijah: yeah..can i come over at your place we spend the afternoon together?
Me: so you wanna brave the winter to drive to my place babe?
Elijah: yaah!..why not?..you my girlfriend now and I usualy drive myself to school..its normal don worry and besides am bored over here.
Me: ohhh..that i can tell you are bored...okaaay come over then and drive safely.
Elijah: okay.

Elijah hanged his phone. I got out of my bed and rushed downstairs almost tripping myself.
I heard some noise from our living room and found benjamin and my dad watching a soccer match on tv.
"Benji where is mum?" I asked my brother in swahili language.
"In the kitchen." He answered and i rushed to the kitchen finding my mum cooking some snacks.
"My my friend is coming over."
I said to her.
"Dont worry the snacks will be enough." My mother said to me.
"Thank you mum." I said to her.
"But you don't always announce manuel when he comes by." my mother said.
"Its not manuel coming by...its elijah the one whom i attended his party yesterday." I said.
"Ohh the blake boy? Seems you two are getting along well." She said to me observing my excitment on my face.
"Yes mum he has been nice to me." I said to her.
"Okay don't worry." My mother said to me.
I went back to my bedroom and i tried watching some netflix on my laptop but i felt sleepy and i ended up shutting down my laptop and tucked myself inside my heavy blanket and slept.
I was woken up by some loud door bangs and yellings from benjamin.
"Isaac!.Isaac!..Open this door elijah is here!" Benjamin yelled.
I jumped out of my bed when i heard elijah's name. I rushed to my mirror rubbing my face with my hands. I had worn a white long sleeve tshirt and a grey sweatpant with white socks.
I opened the door and found elijah standing behind benjamin.
"I told you man..he was sleeping." Benjamin said to elijah who chuckled.
"Did you guys knock for long?" I asked them.
"Huh!..Catch up later man." Benjamin said to elijah and left.
"Come in." I said to elijah making way for him and shut the door behind me.
"Am sorry for keeping you waiting at the door." I said to him as he observed my bedroom.
"Dont mind..You were sleeping." Elijah said motioning me to my ruined bed. I forgot to make my bed before opening the door.
"Ohh my bed..forgot to make it..was in a hurry." I said as i made my bed.
"Hahaha!..no problem you will have plenty to make in the near future." Elijah said to me.
"Ahaa..what do you mean by that?" I asked him.
"You know what i mean." Elijah said seductively and i blushed when i realized he meant i will always make bed after sex with him.
Elijah was wearing a long sleeve black tshirt with black trouser jeans and some black boots. He walked closer to me and wrapped his arms around my body,squeezing me in his arms and crushing me against his body while kissing my forehead.
"I missed you babe." Elijah said to me.
"I missed you too my prince." I said to him.
He let go off my body and cupped my face before lowering his head down to me and kissing my lips as we sucked each other juicy lips.
"I wanna do this the whole day princess." Elijah said to me when we broke from our kiss.
"Hahaha come on!..Am gonna get some snacks downstairs,make your self comfortable." I said to him. As i turned to leave,elijah grabbed my butt.
"Elijah!..hahaha!..why do you always do that?" I asked laughing and rushed out.
I came back with a tray of snacks and found elijah sitting on my bed caressing my white teddy bear he gifted me.
"Mmmh..that smells delicious." Elijah said to me licking his lower lip.
"Get to my washroom and wash your hands." I said to him and went back to the kitchen and brought a thermosflask of hot tea milk,two tea cups and a glass of water since i already have my own glass of water in my bedroom with a jar of water.
"Come take a sit." I said to elijah as i arranged my study table. I arranged both chairs at the same side of the table sitting while facing each other.
"So what do we have here?" Elijah asked me having no clue whats on the plates.
"We call this viazi karai in swahili language,its made of boiled potatoes then deep fried in coated gram flour,the reason of its yellowish colour,this other ones are bajias also made from gram flour..ehhh that small red bowl contains red thick liquid is a mixture of red pepper powder with raw lemon juice..well here its tea,sugar and you are welcomed." I said to him.
"Thanks." He replied.
We started eating and was glad elijah enjoyed the snacks more than me.
"Your mom is a great cook,can you also cook this?" Elijah asked me.
"Yes i can." I replied.
"Nice you gonna make a good housewife." Elijah teased me.
"Housewife?..am going to be a doctor and not a housewife." I replied feeling a bit offended.
"Come on babe..i didn't mean to offend you..burr wouldn't you want to be married in future,cook for your husband and take care of your house?" Elijah asked me.
"There women who are housewives and doctors..you can have both." Elijah added.
"You are right if you put it that way...do you want to have a partner like that?..I mean marrying?" I asked.
"Yes and i want you to be the one who can take care of my meals and my home..my future wifey." Elijah said smiling and winking at me.
"We just started dating and you thinking of marriage?" I asked while eating.
"Well our marriage life starts now." said smiling while sipping some tea.
"Hun...i realized you got a great appetite..you eat the most." I said to him smiling.
"I eat alot...am athletic..there is a reason why am strong babe and i can't wait to eat you too." Elijah replied in a beautiful way that made me blush.
We washed our hands after eating and we sat together beside each other in my bed watching some netflix from my laptop as our backs leaned on my bed headboard.
"Do your friends know we are in a relationship?" He asked.
"Yeah.." i replied.
"And how did they take it?" He asked.
"They are supportive." I said.
"Huh..Even manuel?" He asked in disbelief.
"Well he is having a hard time coming to terms with it." I said.
"Thats manuel i know but am glad i got your bro support." He said.
"Wait..did you tell him?" I asked.
"Nop..i thought you did...he even congratulate me and asked me to take good care of you." He replied.
"If my dummy brother could tell then anyone can tell we are an item." I said.
"Hehe!..what of your parents?" He asked.
"They don't know." I said.
"I hope they will be supportive when they know their son is my lovely girlfriend." He said in a teasing tone.
"You silly hun." I said smiling.
"Can you switch off your laptop coz it seems both of us are not into it." Elijah said to me as i switched it off and got up from my bed and placed it on my study table. Turning back i found elijah moving at the centre of my bed.
"What you doing?..Make room for me you silly boy." I said jokingly moving towards my bed.
"Haha there is enough room here?" Elijah said motioning his chest rubbing it lightly.
"Where?..Haha!" I asked him laughing.
"Here on my chest..get over here..i want you to lay on my chest." Elijah said.
I moved to his side and laid besides him while my upper torso was on his chest and his arm wrapping around my upper torso caressing it.
We were silent for a moment,feeling his heartbeat and his nice scent realy turned me on.
"I love you isaac." Elijah said while i caressed his chest with my hand.
"I love you too." I said back.
"I loved your birthday gift." He said to me.
"It wasn't extravaggant or expensive gift like your other friends gifts." I said.
"Friends?..i barely knew most of them,my parents invited most of them while pentagon invited the rest..i only invited you personaly." He said to me as he reminded me once again that he doesn't have real friends of his own choice except me. How could a rich kid like him not  have super friends? I asked myself.
"So you realy loved my gift?" I asked again.
"Yeah i love your bonsai tree gift..signifies goodluck and besides anything coming from you i consider it special." Elijah said in exciting voice.
"Awww..thanks babe." i said.
"I hope manuel wont bring trouble cause i won't back down from defending our love against him." He said.
"Hun this ain't a war..manuel will understand that he needs to accept our relationship." I said.
"Honestly i don't care whether he understand or not..what i care is you and your parents approval.
"You crazy vampire and what of your parents will they accept me? Do they know you are gay?" I asked him.
"My parents already like you,they will accept you for sure princess and have never told my parents am gay." He replied.
"Okay..your chest is comfy..I love cuddling with you like this." I said softly to him.
"Don't worry you gonna get alot of cuddles from now on and i will pamper you...between i heard your sister is getting married to manuel's brother." Elijah said to me.
"Yeah this coming april..the preparations are already on the gear." I said to him.
"Now you gonna be a family with hernandez." Elijah said.
"Yes but that won't change a thing between us." I said to him.
"I hope so..cause you mine..mine alone." Elijah said kissing me on my forehead.
"Awwww..hahah!..you goin to wet me." i said laughing while he squeezed me.
As the dark settles,elijah decided it was time to leave.
I went downstairs with elijah behind me so that he can bid goodbye to my family.
We found my mother and father in the living room.
"Mum..dad..elijah is leaving now..he wants to bid you bye." I said to my parents.
"Thank you mr and mrs karisa it was a pleasure welcoming me to your warm home to spend time with isaac." Elijah said.
"You welcomed anytime son..feel free." My dad said.
"Aint you going to stay for supper?" My mother asked.
"Mum!..The weather outside isn't safe to drive in the dark..he better get home and tomorrow we have school." I said coz knowing my mother has a habit of making anyone who visits us to eat her meals.
"I would love to ma'am.. but its already late and thank you for your delicious snacks..i will definately come back for more." Elijah said politely.
"Promise?" My mum asked.
"Promise." Elijah said.
"Where is benji?" I asked my parents.
"In his room." My mother replied.
"Benjii!..Benjiii!..Benjiii!." I called out for him as i went upstairs again to his bedroom knocking his door.
"What now?" Benjamin said when he opened his bedroom door.
"Elijah is leaving..aint you going to bid goodbye to him?" I asked him.
"Where is he?" He asked.
"Downstairs." I sad as benjamin rushed downstairs while i followed behind.
Arriving downstairs elijah was wearing his warm black winter coat.
"Hey bro..you leaving." Benjamin said.
"Yeah thanks man." Elijah replied as he did the fist thing and hug.
"I was afraid he might have a crush on manuel whom my sister in engaged to his bro..it would be devastating." Benjamin blurted out. While elijah chuckled. I was suprised he suspected i might have a crush on manuel but he wasn't sure about it.
"What the fuck?" I said freaking out.
"Don worry bro that won't happen coz we are dating now."
Elijah said.
"Lets go elijah before benji spew more nonsense." I said to elijah as i lead him out.
"See you later bro." Benjamin said behind me then giggled.
"Later bro." Elijah said.
I closed the front door behind behind me. The street lights were already switched on.
"You don't need to walk me to my car babe..i will see you tomorrow at school." Elijah said to me.
"Fine but drive safely." I sad to him as he lowered his head holding my chin and gave me a kiss on my lips.
He then left walking down to his car as the cold bites my body and drove off,i turned and rushed back inside my home.
