Obsession

Chapter 13

Saturday 12:32

Aniyah had woken up over an hour ago, she ate food and took her plan b. She had been checking on Matteo's injuries, cleaning the wounds and rewrapping them. Matteo was out cold and showed no signs of waking up.

"I'm gonna need him on the couch, it'll be easier."

"You're gonna need to help me."

Aniyah and Mari carry Matteo to her couch, Aniyah had placed a few towels to protect the couch. Mari began removing the gauzes and cleaning the wounds.

"How'd he get this?" Mari asks, trying to engage in conversation.

"No clue."

Mari safely checks for anything in his chest and begins stitching, she wipes around the stitches and instructs Aniyah on how to care for it. Aniyah nods her head, remembering the instructions so she can tell Matteo.

Aniyah offered some food to pay Mari back for the help, she sat and talked with Aniyah for a few hours. They are childhood friends, Mari is in a health apprenticeship based at a local hospital. Mari soon had to leave because Aniyah had to get ready for her date.

They have a date at an amusement park at 8pm. It's currently 7pm and the park is quite far away. Aniyah sets her things up in the shower and turns it on so it can heat up.

She checks on Matteo, he's still alive but asleep. She makes it into her hot shower and starts lathering herself up, she uses her sugar scrub and begins shaving her legs.

"Why're you shaving your legs?" Matteo rasps out, a shoulder leaning on the side of the door frame. He has a glass of water in his hand and takes a sip.

"What the fuck." She shouts. "Get out." She points to the door.

"I've seen you naked before, it's not that big of a deal."

"I'm going on a date, Matteo."

"Why?" He scrunches his eyebrow, a small hint of annoyance and disgust.

"I'm single and he's single so why not?" She shrugs.

"You've been looking for boyfriends while fucking me?"

"You've been fucking me while having a fianceé? You're only here because you were hurt, which by the way you'll be telling me why because you came to my place. You could have gone to anyone else's house but you came to my apartment."

Matteo pushes himself off the door and walks over to Aniyah, he slides the glass door open and cocks his head to the side. Aniyah covers her boobs with her arm and puts her hand between her legs.

"Matteo, leave me alone. You're so confusing, I just want to relax. You pop up with a fianceé. You came with her then had the nerve to nut in me and keep it in there." She scrunches her face. "Then you show up practically half dead on my bathroom floor, blood everywhere and slashes on your chest. My head is everywhere and you're the cause of it." She pokes his chest.

He tries to grab her hand but she pulls back. "I'm sorry, Aniyah. I promise I'll explain, I just can't right now."

"Can you just leave?"

"The apartment... or..."

"You can stay in the apartment but I need you to leave the bathroom."

Matteo leaves, he sits on her couch and turns the TV on. Aniyah finishes in the shower and wraps the towel around her. She quickly moisturises herself and strolls into her kitchen, taking a bag of crisps and walking back to her room.

Aniyah sorts out the clothes she's going to wear, she puts on a skirt and a t-shirt. Matteo slowly opens her door, stepping through and leaning on the wall.
