6.
Blessing trudges back to the flat with the hands deep in Nathan's black bomber jacket. She sat through the arduous anatomy class with both intense intrigue, horror and boredom. Who knew learning about the human body could be so boring? The only satisfaction she gained from the lecture involved the lecturer telling the students they had an online anatomy to complete before Friday and Blessing smiled at herself. She debated whether she should leave it, or do it but answer the questions in random order obviously shattering any chances of Nathan passing. Judging from his grades posted online, he's definitely top of the class. Not for long, Blessing though maliciously during the lecture.
Once in the flat, Blessing takes off the bomber jacket and walks into the kitchen and begins preparing a late lunch. The one thing she certainly doesn't miss is clamouring onto the counter top to grab ingredients. It's a completely new perspective from this height and Blessing revels in it.,
"What the hell are you doing?" Sam screeches from behind when he catches a whiff of the bacon wafting in the air. Startled, Blessing gazes at the pan, Sam and back at the pan before raising her shoulders awkwardly,
"Making you a bacon sandwich?" She says slowly. Furrowing his brow, Sam gazes at Blessing quizzically before breaking into a wide white grin and slapping him hard on the shoulder,
"For a second there buddy I thought you were making that for yourself," Sam says placing his big hands on his hips before blowing out a whistle. Begrudgingly, Blessing assembles the bacon sandwich and hands it reluctantly to Sam who wastes no time devouring the desired object. Pissed off, Blessing pours more oil into the pan and cracks two eggs into the pan and watches them sizzle,
"You going to add more?" Sam mumbles with food in his mouth. Without replying, Blessing gazes at the pan before looking at Nathan's arms and cracks three more eggs and places them in the pan. Quietly, Blessing assembles her new egg sandwich and sits on the opposite side of the kitchen table. Sam asks questions in an attempt to make various conversations but Blessing can't even stomach the thought of being friendly to him. Not after what he did to Lana during Fresher's Week. Confused, Sam gives up but resolves the reason why his best friend is acting is because he hasn't had any pussy in a while,
"Have you spoken to Tannie yet?" Blessing shakes her head but inwardly rolls her eyes to the back of her head. She didn't like that girl and she didn't exactly know why and couldn't be bothered to waste her time finding a credible reason. She gave bad vibes and Blessing ran and is still running on that.
"You haven't text her in a couple of days and she's wondering where her bad boy has gone," Sam says coyly wiggling his eyebrows as he gets up to take his plate to the sink,
"I'll text her later," Blessing responds uninterested as she bites into her egg sandwich. Shrugging his shoulders, Sam leaves the room but just as he does so, a thought crosses the brain and Blessing smiles devilishly at herself. Whipping out Nathan's phone, Blessing's plan deflates slightly when she realises Nathan has saved the majority of the girls according to his favourite features. Clenching her fist, Blessing takes note to slide tackle him once they've switched back to their own bodies.
Telling herself to breathe, Blessing attempts to think methodically about what Nathan would save Tannie under. She's definitely not saved as "Big Tits" or "Good Pussy". Scrolling up again, Blessing comes across the contact "Black Booty Bitch" and in horror finds that it's her number saved under the contact. Angrily she calls Nathan demanding answers but he just sighs and hangs up.
Narrowing her eyes, Blessing clicks on any random girls' contact number and asks if they want to come round later. Without hesitation "Red Head Angie" replies with much enthusiasm. At least she had some form of name Blessing thinks cynically. She hopes desperately and unkindly that Tannie has some semblance of feelings for Nathan so when he does mess around with Angie she hears about,
"It's okay Blessing, you've been with girls before so this shouldn't be any different," Blessing states to herself as she gets up and places her plate in the sink. Two days later, Nathan calls Blessing screaming ferociously down the phone,
"I thought we were going to do this fairly but clearly you want to ruin my life! Not to mention I overheard Sam saying you ate a sausage yesterday-," he cries down the phone. There's silence as Blessing rolls her eyes but his next words chill her to the bone, "Darling, I may not be a full-fledged feminist but one thing I know and society, a vagina and a pair of tits carry a lot of judgement when used in what is deemed inappropriate." He hangs up the phone.
With the blood boiling in the veins, Blessing throws Nathan's phone across the room splintering his skin. In a fit of rage, Blessing leaves the flat and marches down the hallway and bangs thunderously on her own flat door. Lana opens the door and gazes up at her,
"You tell that son of a bitch Na-Blessing that I can play the game ten times better. Also tell that dick it was actually two sausages that I ate," Blessing sates smugly. With that, Blessing turns on the heel and furiously power walks down the hall leaving a stunned Lana gazing after him.
