My best stranger

ThR3e

I drive back home and all I can imagine is her curvy body sitting next to me and laughing or lip syncing to a song or staring at me

She's just a stranger

I get back home and take a bath. I lay in bed and hear my cellphone ring. I have an inward grin. I rehearse what to say to her in my head and pick up my phone. I look at the screen and a get a feeling of disappointment.
"What"
"Noah! Hey. I've been thinking about how you've been cause you didn't stop by" Benita says
"I didn't ?" I reply sarcastically.
She giggles thinking it's funny

Ughhh

"What do you want?"
"Wanted to know if your free this weekend"
"I have a really busy schedule"
"But if you decide to meet up just call. Love you"
I end the call and let out a deep sigh. I scan through my contact list and call Lucas.
"Yeah?" I hear his sleepy british accent at the other end of the line.
"How are you asleep already, no party?"
"Not today bruv, what's wrong?"
"It's Benita, she called and asked if I want to meet up"
"And you said no right?"
"Not exactly"
"No dude. You need to break up with her, she's no good for you, she's the reason you've been having mood swings like your on your damn period. And what she did last week crosses the line. It's over, you'll be happier with other people"

"Alright, we'll meet up then break up"
"She doesn't deserve a decent break up, why not do it over text, oh ya your a nice guy. Fine. But make sure you break up okay?"
"I will, thanks bro"
"Sure" he hangs up. I stare at the ceiling. A sickening flash back of last week, Friday night to be precise plays in my head.

Mood: close the door by weston estate

"Benny we're still going out by 8:oo right?"
"Sure, I'll see you there" she replied

See me there?

I normally pick her up for every date we have. I decided to surprise her and pick her up my self. I ordered an Uber and drove to her house. I searched my pocket for her house key and unlocked the door. I scanned the neatly arranged parlor and dining as I walked in and saw no trace of her.

She must be in her room

I climbed up the stairs and heard faint noises. I couldn't really make out what it was so I walked closer to her room where it was coming from. With the door wide open, I got a clear look at Benny and Jay (her so called best friend) having an intense make out session. My heart began to race, I felt hot, chocked like my heart was on fire. I stumbled back and they noticed me. She ran over to me in a bra and joggers and Jay sat on the bed in only a pair of briefs. I started walking downstairs fast. I needed to get out of there, I couldn't breathe. She grabbed my hand and said more like whispered " can I explain?"
I jerked off my hand from her grip and replied with a cold stare "fuck off Benita, you and your fucking lover boy"
Then stormed out of the apartment banging the door behind me.

I got  to the side walk and texted Lucas to come pick me up. A part of me wanted to never see her again and the other part wanted her to chase after me go on her knees and beg. I tried to think of something else,to just wave it off but it kept coming back like a fresh scar being reopened every 5 seconds. I silently wished my car wasn't at the mechanic that week. I contemplated lighting a cigarette but the but the small crowd of people next to me wouldn't find it appropriate. To make things worse I felt a light drizzle against my skin and with every minute passing it slowly increased. I tried calling Lucas but to went to voice mail.

"Why the fuck are you wasting time" I left a voice note. I began tapping my feet on the wet ground feeling anger, anxiety,sadness, frustration and hunger all at the same time. Then that was when Erica walked up to me. The only good thing that happened that evening. By the time she left, Lucas had  parked in front of me and as we drove back to my place, I narrated the worst evening of my life to my best friend.

I shudder as I remember that evening. I close my eyes and stuff off to sleep.
