The Boy With a Black Hoodie

Chapter Twenty: Alan

I woke up next to Kiara. Events of the past night ran in my mind fast forward and I almost screamed. First in embarrassment then happiness. Kiara snuggled closer to me. Damn! She was making things difficult for me. How on earth was I supposed to control myself?

"If you do that I might just.." I didn't finish my sentence.

I don't know what I wanted to say. I might just what? I was confused. What had I done? We hadn't planned last night and I was sure that wasn't how Kiki imagined her 1st time would be like. I had messed up. I had let emotions get the better of me.

The worst part? If I could go back in time I would still act the way I did. I would still make love to Kiara again and again. I checked the time. It was 4 am. I couldn't go back to sleep again so I just cuddled closer to Kiara and started at the ceiling. I thought to the first day I saw Kiara. I had hated her guts. I thought she was brat and I was angry at everyone. I chuckled. Funny how things can change in a short space of time.

"What's funny Walker?" She asked.

I almost jumped. I hadn't realised she was awake.

I kissed her on her lips and she responded. That cleared all my fears and confusion. We were ok.

She asked again and I laughed at and said, "Nothing Kiki. I was just thinking of my first day at Green Wood High."

That got her laughing as well. "Oh, I remember very well you wanted to kill me."

"That's too much considering I saved you from getting expelled! And I'm sorry for well not making our first time special".

She blushed and I had to hide my blush as well.

"It's ok and I think we should you know cause everyone is gonna start showing up in a few hours". She blushed again.

After getting dressed we couldn't go back to sleep again so we killed time by watching some funny videos on YouTube and leaving silly comments. I wasn't sure if I would be able to go back to my old life again.

I wasn't exactly a big fan of Africa but it felt more like home than all the places I had been to. I found myself looking forward to the high school graduation. I found myself making more friends at school apart from Shane though he turned out to be my best friend. Kiara stayed in the hospital a few more days and I might as well have been living there as well.

She got discharged after a week. We had to prepare for exams but I wasn't worried about that. My girlfriend was genius and she would kill me if I failed anyways so I had to work hard. She didn't come to school but word had spread that she would be back soon.

Since people didn't know why she had been in the hospital various myths started to spread. According to others she had been trying to abort a baby and everything had gone wrong. According some sources she had been indeed a drug addict and her family was covering for her since they were rich.

"You know she is going to murder them as soon as she comes back right? " Shane smirked.

I laughed. I knew my girlfriend was nuts and to be honest as much as I was relieved she would be coming back, I knew she would be in trouble first minute she steps into the school gates.

I smirked as well, "Well she wouldn't be Kiki of she didn't do that right?"

"Are you bragging that you have a girlfriend?" And he leaned closer to whisper in my ear, "I know what you guys did last summer" He laughed.

Shane was cool and all but he was also good at getting me to tell him stuff about my relationship without putting much effort.

"Shut up and what are you gonna do about you and Art? I know you like her."

That brought him back to reality. I had figured that Shane and Artemis had a lot of unresolved issues but I felt that her was holding back. I'm not sure for who exactly or maybe he was just chicken not that I would voice that out unless I wanted to be toast.

"I don't know man. I mean I have to think about everything she has done so far and it wasn't nice truth be told."

"But you left as well. You left both of them not that im blaming you but you should talk to Art." I said.

Shane shuffled his feet uncomfortably. " How do I even start? She hates me. She hates Kiara and how do I even begin?"

I raised my hands in surrender. "Don't look at me dude. I have no idea when it comes to girls as well."

"You brought that topic Alan now..."

"And now I must go and see Kiara. She hates it when I'm late for our indoor dates." I smirked.

"Then help out as well so I can have indoor dates as well." Shane whined giving me puppy eyes.

"Ok, ok but I'm not the genius. My girlfriend is so why don't we ask her though I doubt she would agree."

I went home first before I could go and see Kiara. I needed to change my uniform first before going to her place. I wasn't even shocked to see her parents car parked outside our house anymore. I decided to use the backdoor to avoid awkward questions.

I opened my room to find Kiara sitting on my bed wearing one of black hoodies and typing on her laptop. Her parents were always at my place but she rarely came so I did the most natural thing any guy would do if he found his girl in his room. I ran to the bed and only for her to jump on me half way. She hugged me tightly. Wow!

"I missed you." She whispered and I felt something wet. She was crying.

What happened?

"Kiki what's wrong?" I asked panicking.

She pulled out of the hug but I was still carrying her. "I missed my period.  I'm scared." She said.

Damn! What had we done again? Me and Kiara were trouble.
