Chills

Gift

I was in the car. Looking outside the window, smiling to myself. I feel better than I ever did. For some reason, it was because of Jonah.
After the kiss, we decided to go home. It was 7 am, Mary would wake up.

Olivia. I needed to call her up, asking where she is.
"Oli, where are you?" I ask her on the call.

"I'm just a few meters away from our house." She whispers as if she is standing beside Mary.

"Why are you whispering?"  I ask her.

"Oh wait. I forgot I am meters away." She laughs, back to her own tone.
"Forget that." She says, "where are you?" She asks.

"Oh. I'm with Jonah. I will reach in.."I look at him.
He mouths, "4 minutes".

"In four." I tell her.
"Four what? Minutes, seconds or years?" She jokes.
"Minutes, Oli." I tell her.

"Okay. When you reach here, call me up. We will face whatever is gonna happen, together." She says.
"Yeah. She won't kill us, she won't know don't worry." I laugh.

"Wait. I have a question, but I won't ask." She says.
"Oli." I say her name.
"Rush." She mimics.

"Ask me na." I tell her.
"Yeah I will, first get here." She replies.
"Alright. " I hang the call up.

"What happened?" Jonah asks.
"Nothing serious, just my friend being herself."I reply rolling my eyes, smiling.

"We are here. There's your friend." Jonah says.

"Thank you for the ride. I had an amazing time." I smile and reach out to hug him.
He returns it back.

"See you later, sweetheart." He smiles.

"There she is. " Olivia says.
"Yeah yeah. I'm here. What question did you have?" I laugh.

"Well. Where did you and Jonah go?" She smirks.

"The beach." I say.
"Ohoo. Quite romantic, huh?" She laughs.
"It's just a beach, Oli. Get over it." I say.
"Leave that. Who was the guy there with you?" I ask her , successful in deviating the topic.

"That guy? He was a boring person, still a good time pass." She sighs.

"For God's sake, I don't think you'll ever stop." I say, laughing.

"Well, let's go before M wakes up." Olivia says.

"Yeah." I agree and we start moving towards our house.
My mind kept going back to the events of today.
I felt happy.

We reach the house and unlock the door.
We went inside to our rooms.

I laid on my bed, thinking the events of the previous hour.

Did I do the right thing?
I don't know.

Did that make me feel alive?
Yes.

Don't look back. Live your life, even if it's only for tonight.

I close my eyes, smiling.

"WAKE THE HELL UP!" I hear Mary scream.
"Woah woah." I wake up, startled.

"You and Oli, it's 12 PM!" She says.
"Wait. What?" I act innocent, as if I didn't spend the whole night out.
"Yeah! Now leave that get ready. I have a good news." She says.

"Which good news?" I ask, blinking.
"Get ready. I'll tell after that." She leaves.

"She left me wondering." I say to myself.

I get out of my bed and take my clothes to shower.

After 30 minutes, I get out and start drying my hair, when I heard my phone ting.

Unknown: You look amazing like that.

My heart skipped a beat. I was always scared of these kind of things. I thought whether I should reply or not. I should just block. I'll reply.

Me: Who are you?

Unknown: Forgot me so soon? Ouch.

Me : Stop you're scaring me. Tell me who you are before I block.

Unknown: don't be scared of me;) Guess?

Me: Hints?

Unkown: Sweetheart.

I stood there.

"Nothing serious, sweetheart."
"See you later, sweetheart."

Me: Is that you, Jonah?

Unknown: Right.  Did i scare you? Sorry;)

Me: Nah. It's okay. But how can you see me?

Unkown: Come to the window.

I go to the window and see his black car parked and he waves from there.

Jonah: Keep the windows closed from text time.

Me: Noted.

I throw the phone on the bed, shaking my head.

I go down to find Olivia having her hand on her head.
"Hey. What's wrong?" I ask her, concerned.
"My head is going to burst out. Hangover, I guess. " She says.

"Oh, oh no. Wait, I think I know what to do." I tell her.

I take an orange and squish it.  I make a juice and add pepper to it.

"Drink this." I tell her.

"There's absolutely no way I going to drink this shit." She exclaims.

"You have two options, drink this or stay with that terrible headache." I shrug.

"Alright." She says and takes the juice.

"Ew. Ew. Ew. This is.. no wait, this actually works." She changed her words in between.
"Haha. Told you" I say.

"No because if it wouldn't have worked, I would make you drink it as well." She winks.

"Now I'm even more happy it worked." I laugh, knowing how terrible it tastes.

I search for Mary.
"Where is Mary?" I ask Olivia.
"No idea. "She says and goes back to scrolling on her phone.

I sit down on the sofa in the living room and scroll through Instagram.

I was busy watching reels when I heard the doorbell ring.

"Wait. I will check." I tell Olivia.

I go to the door and open it to find a gift.

"Who could this be for?" I ask myself and read the name.

"Don't worry. It's for you. Open up."

Even though I wasn't sure who this, "you" was, I opened it.

It was a beautiful necklace, having a letter "J" carved beautifully.
