Time Goes By [COMPLETED]

chapter 14

Nic's POV

"Guess what I just figured out." I said, ready to unravel my thrilling discovery while I entered the kitchen. I stopped walking and stood beside Rita who was dipping her teabag in a water filled cup. She was wearing a white v neck shirt and a charcoal sweatpants. I leaned against the counter, anticipating for her response.

"That you were a man this whole time." Rita said blankly, without looking up from her cup. She glanced at me for a second and then chuckled when she saw my face expression; pure horror.

"What?!.....NO!! Lauren was wearing my flannel the whole night yesterday, and I haven't noticed until now." I answered, confused as how she came with a guessing like that, and perplexed of I haven't noticed.

"Why does she have your flannel?" Rita asked, looking up at me with narrowed eyes, but before I could clarify the reason why Lauren has it, she interrupted me. "You slept with her, didn't you? the day at the party?" she said, with a judgmental frown like it's obvious I did hook up with Lauren, but before I could deny, she spoke angrily this time. "Why didn't you tell me? Huh? You HAVE to tell me or else, who would give you an advice to make your first time special and also, so I can place the camera equipments in your room; We need to film it to see if you did it right." Rita ranted, furious, with her hands on her hips.

My mouth hung open in disgust and huge disturbance. I screamed, a high pitched scream. "What is wrong with you? That's my privacy and NO, I didn't have sex with Lauren. I just forgot my flannel back at our old high school and I think she took it with her and forgot to give it back. Now, I understand you work as a photographer but that's porn." I shouted, upset and clearly mad. I know Rita is crazy but I didn't think it was to this level.

She gasped and placed her hand dramatically on her chest, where her heart is. "What?! noooo honey, who told you that? I would never do this to you." she lied while touching my cheeks with her small hands. She changed her voice to a softer tone as if she was talking to a baby.

"Who said that? I would never say that. I want to know when you're doing the do, so you could fuck like a man." she continued talking in a higher tone and I scoffed.

"I'm not a man." I shouted and removed her hands from my cheeks, roughly may I add and stepped back, away from this psychotic human.

"Oh honey, you're in denial. It's okay. We'll give you a penis. I will give you my best dild-" I cut her off with a monster-like growl.

"What is wrong with you?!" I pushed her away from me, extremely irritated and she started laughing.

"It's great messing with you; you get pissed off so easily. Back in High School, no matter what I said, you would just look at me like I got two heads. Now though, you shout like stereotypical gay man." She laughed even more and I flipped her off. I ignored her annoying voice and opened the top shelf, scanning the cereals we have. My eyes caught on one and I pulled it out. It's been awhile since I ate lucky charms.

Rita was still laughing so I decided to give her a piece of her medicine; I grabbed her cup of tea and spat inside of it. I ran away from Rita's fuming shouts and chuckled lightly.

-----------------------------------------

Few minutes to crunching my cereal with Rita beside me, sitting on the couch together, Rita said "How did you know you were gay?"

I gave her a look like she's going to mess with me once again but this time, she looked serious.

"Why? And didn't I tell you this before?" I asked, remembering a question like this popping up from Rita years ago. I felt suspicious of something I'm not sure yet.
