Need A Stack

Chapter 49 : Furious.

'At times we make decisions for ourselves and others not having their best interests at heart. But that doesn't make us selfish or narcissistic' - Charity Peris.

It's finally happening y'all. It's me and the love of my life rolling down the pavements with our hands over each other's. With my head full of fantasies I can't believe that it's here. Every head turned to us and all I could think of is us in the United States being welcomed to the Grammy awards as the best couple of the year. I turned back to Gillard and he had the same pride and confidence written on his face. I gave him a warm smile and he smiled back when he caught me staring.

How I wished that there was this slowmo effect live so that people could see us bouncing and feeling ourselves.

"Hey Amanda," Ah who the hell is this. Can't they see I'm having my moment over here? I turned back to meet Juliet's inquisitive eyes staring at me then to Gillard.

"Umm I'm sorry for disturbing," Well great she knows that! But wait what does she want?

"Uhm I wanted to ask uhm,,,,"

"Hey girl can you just,,, talk!?" I was getting impatient. I was still in the mood of being with my bae and showing him off like we should have done since day one.

"I'm sorry can I get a little of your time after school?" I looked at Gillard then back to her, " Actually I don't thi-"

"Yes she can" Gillard cut me off and finished the sentence otherwise. I was left stuck between why he did that and approving to Juli that that's exactly what I wanted to say too.

"Great thankyou. See you then." She gave me a fake smile and turned awkwardly on her way out. We resumed with the walking but this time a little bit serious. "Babe why did you tell her that I can see her after class? Don't you know we never talk these days?"

"Baby I know that. But you have to hear her out. Ofcourse she also know y'all are not in good terms and if she really had the gut to come ask you if she can talk, then it got to be a serious issue."

Well, that made sense. I gave him that even though I hated when I'm not right. We walked in silence so much buried in my thoughts like, what does she want to tell me!

"See you later babe." He pecks me lightly on the lips and goes to his class. I hate that we didn't share this unit. We could've had our seats Infront so that the Networking lecturer, Mr. Lewis could definitely see how we love each other and wouldn't breathe if the other one was away.

I couldn't focus in class and whole time I was scribbling some notes wondering when the class is going to end. When it did, I was out wishing Julie could just come and say it to my face whatever she wanted to. I dialed her number and realized that it's been so long since we ever communicated. I thought about calling her then backed off for a minute. "Hey" I had it from the back and when I turned, she was there with her little bag held tight between her armpits. Well I pray she had herself perfumed enough to have that bag well aerated and breathing.

"I needed to tell you something. Just that I don't know how you're going to react over it."

"Shoot." I didn't get entertained with the part of my reaction. I don't think I even know how I will when I don't know what she has to say.

She scrolled her eyes carefully across mine and took a deep breath. "Well uhm. Alvin is around."

I lacked a reaction. "Ow".

"Yeah he is."

"Well that's nice." I mean that wasn't my business and I don't understand why she told me about my ex I never mention. But wait, where is he living. "And where is he living? A hotel or..?"

"My place." She said moving one step forward looking so frightened. She took another deep breath and repeats the same phrase, " Yes, he's living at my place."

"Ooow" I gave her the suspicious look like why would you act like that? I don't understand, what did you really want me to do with this blunt information though? "Okay." I said. I wanted this conversation to end already. It's none of my business that Alvin is around and living at Julie's place. After all he's my ex and ofcourse they are friends with Julie since they were all at my home last holiday. I mean! Plus the fact that I have already moved on doesn't give me any reasons to mind over a mere ex, lol.

"Well I guess the conversation is done. I appreciate that you told me about it." I pretended. I was so neutral actually, didn't care about the info. I gave her a fake smile and turned to leave.

"We are seeing each other." She added. I paused for a moment and turned back to her. Like 'you are not yet done sis? Ofcourse y'all are seeing each other every day when you wake up since you're under the same roof. Daah! ' "Okay?" I told her not yet getting why she wants me hanging there with such a conversation. "Look Julie. I know we are not in good terms. But that doesn't mean that you should try creating a vybe with me with such a boring content, okay? I feel like you should just go and maybe reconsider what you want to tell me then come back. For now I guess we are done." I looked her straight in the eye and started walking across her even though that's not where I was supposed to be going. It just choked me standing there with her when there was literally nothing we were talking about.

"I meant like we are dating. I'm seeing your ex. And yes we are sleeping together. Not just in my house but also under the same sheets Amanda. " Her voice was shaking all through. But wait! What???

"Hold! What? Juliet!"

I heard someone say that and turned again this time first enough. Alicia was standing there so surprised staring at Juliet wishing it was all but a lie. I got lost between reading Alicia's expressions and having my own. I didn't know what I really felt after hearing that. Alicia gave her a tough look, "Is that what friends really do to each other? Pretend you're gay then end up sleeping with your friend's man?"

That statement made me remember myself accusing her of sleeping with Alicia's ex, Chris. Uhm!

"Is that the same thing you did with Chris? Why can't you just get your own fucking man sis. What the fuck is wrong with you?!" She threw the two mango juice glasses she'd held on her hands down to the floor and started walking out. I'm sure she had one for Juliet. I looked at Juliet, who was standing there helplessly. I definitely didn't have anything to tell her. I went after Alicia hoping to catch her pace. She seemed so angry than me. Funny I didn't feel like I should have any thoughts about it. Alicia was the one on my mind. Guess this made her remember Chris for a little bit and that was never supposed to be the case.

"Ama..."

"Huussh! Just... I need to think, okay??"

"Sure." She steps back and watches me out.

I tried following Alicia but she was too fast for me. "Alicia!" I decided to call out with my hands on my knees breathing hysterically. She slowed down and turned to look at me. She looked furious and so ready to bite. Damn girl! Okaay! I wondered if she was mad for me or just because she remembered Chris. "Well uhm...." I noticed I literally didn't have what to tell her. I stayed silent refreshing my mind.

Am I supposed to console her to stop being worried? Am I supposed to curse out on Julie? Am I supposed to tell her that Chris is in the past? Am I supposed to tell her what I feel? I was left in the middle of my head.
