Mafia's Deadly Obsession

2| Dare to kiss

Amaira's POV

"Amy!"

"Amy!"

Someone shook me, breaking the trance of my thoughts and bringing me back to reality.

"Umm... Yeah!" I blinked twice to act normally. I don't want her to know that I was lost somewhere and why she was blabbering continuously otherwise she will kill me with her bare hands.

"I have been calling you for the past 5 minutes, but you are somewhere else. What's the matter with you girl?" My roommate, Chloe, nudged me.

"Sorry! I am all ears!" I gave her my most charming smile, which is enough for her to melt.

"Seriously Amaira, it is getting too much now! This cheesy smile of yours is not going to work this time. First, you took half a day off, and now you are lost in your world. There is undoubtedly something which is bothering you which you are not sharing with me!" She said out of anger.

"There isn't anything like that. You are overthinking things. I am fine" I gave her another phony smile.

But the truth is that I am not at all fine. I can't take the last night's dream from my head, no matter how hard I try. It is haunting me like a nightmare. I haven't shared this with anyone, not even with Chloe with whom I share nitty-gritty details of my life.

"I bet you are not fine and you are trying to hide something from me!" She came back.

I huffed and closed my eyes.

"It's fine if you don't want to share" she rubbed the back of my palm and I pursed my lips. She always understands me.

"Thank you, Chloe, but believe me there is nothing to worry about!" I reassured her. 

"Hmm.... you might forget that we promised to share everything with each other but I won't forget my duty as a friend. I will ask you a few questions and you will have to answer them truthfully. Ok?" She asked with one of her eyebrows raised.

I kept staring at her without blinking. I am sure she is going to tell her lame jokes.

"You will either tell me what is bothering you or you will answer my simple question. The choice is yours" I don't think she gave me any choice here!

"Ok!" I tilted my head, asking her to go forward.

"So tell me how will you put an elephant in a refrigerator?" She raised her eyebrows.

Has she gone mad or what?

"I don't know!" I said blankly.

"Open the fridge and put the elephant in it. Simple! Isn't it?" She wiggled her eyebrows.

"You are crazy!" I chuckled.

"Ok, one more question!" She folded her legs and shifted towards me "how will you put a donkey in the refrigerator?"

"I will open the fridge and place the donkey in it!" I wasn't so sure about my answer but my brain was not ready to think anything else.

"No! You will first take out the elephant from the refrigerator and then put the donkey into it!" She explained.

"Oh God, Chloe you are too much!" I exclaimed.

"Ok, one more" she didn't give me time to protest and continued with her silly questions "If all the animals went to the lion’s birthday party and one animal went missing. Which one would it be?"

"I don't know" I bite my lips.

"Donkey, because it's still in the fridge, you donkey!" She chuckled and I let out a puff of irritation. Is she kidding me?
