Uncovered

Chapter 11

"Hey babe!" Shai says after opening the door.

"I bought sweets" I say with excitement holding up my bag of goodies "And a dog" I say with a monotone voice holding Billo in my other hand. I couldn't take him home so I just bought him here, with me.

"Both equally good." She says excitedly while grabbing my bag of goods and leading me to the living room.

"Is your mum here?" I ask, remembering that Shais mum is allergic to dogs.

"No, she is still at work, but normally when she come home she has dinner and goes to bed, the dog will be fine here." She says catching onto what I was implying.

"Umm, I was wondering if I could stay here the night." I say changing the subject. I have a feeling Sam's not going to be home tonight and I don't want to be home alone.

"Yeah girl, make yourself at home." She says while placing all the sweets I bought on the coffee tables with the rest of hers. "Well doesn't that look delicious." She says admiring our selection of sweets from sour worms to chocolate just to name a few.

"Well now that we've got the movies and sweets ready, it's pj time!" Shai yells excitedly. "I don't expect you to go to your house and get your pjs so you can borrow mine."

"Sounds like a plan."

"To my bedroom we go." Shai says giggling like a maniac and skipping out of the lounge, by the way she is acting I wouldn't be surprised if she smoked a blunt before I got here.

I follow her up the stairs and into her room. When I step in I am engulfed with a nice smelling perfume. Her room is quiet cosy, decorated in baby blue, greys and whites. Her bed is places on the wall to the right with two bedside tables either side of it and a desk adjacent. There is a little one seater couch in the right corner with a foot rest.

Shai disappears into what I think is her wardrobe and comes out a minute later with some pyjama shorts and tops.

"Which one, blue and white or checkered and navy." She says holding up either pair.

"Umm, Blue and white." I say and she hands it to me.

"Cool, you can get dressed in here or the toilets just down the hall." Shai says and disappears back into her wardrobe shutting the door behind her, I decide to just get dressed in here so I slip my shoes of then my top and shorts and then put on the pyjama shorts Shai gave me and the white top, you can see my black bra through it but it's alright, it's just Shai and I. I fold my shorts and top neatly and place them on Shai's desk and my shoes placed neatly on the ground.

I turn around and take a closer look of the interior of Shai's room, there are pictures of her and what appears to be her parents on one of the walls, I'm guessing she is an only child from how happy her parents seem to be in the pictures with her, like she is their prized possession.

I look away from the pictures on the walls when I hear the opening of a door and Shai coming out of her wardrobe with her pyjamas on.

"Here some socks if you want them, I don't know about you but I hate having cold feet." She chucks me some sock after getting them out of one of her bedside table draws. I put on the pair of grey ankle socks and nearly fall over because I'm standing up and I don't have very good balance.

"You know you could of sat on my bed and put the socks on." Shai says laughing as she puts her hair in a messy bun.

"It's good to test out your balance once in a while you know." Shai just nods her head and has a go on putting her socks on while standing but she loses balance and falls over, I break out in a fit of laughter and so does Shai.
