Chapter 15: Room Shenanigans

Zeke P.O.V

                     The clock is ticking. I'm waiting for Rihanna's reply if we're still on for today. She said we'll be giving my room a make-over and I'm not sure I agree that she called it a make-over. What if she make it like a little girl's room? I'm not gonna like that.

I'm looking outside my window, it's a beautiful day but I'm still feeling a little sulky. Oh no! I'm sounding super gay right now but there's no problem with being gay, I'm chill with it. But if you're wondering, no I'm not gay.

                      Minutes after brooding, I finally received a text from Rihanna. "Of course we are! Sorry for replying late. I didn't charge my phone hehe I love you." her text said. "That's okay. What time are we going to the mall?" I texted her. Not too long later she replied. "12? So we could have lunch together? If you're okay with it, I mean."

                      Thirty minutes before noon, I started to get ready. I just put on a simple shirt and some denim jeans. I grab my wallet, phone and my car keys. Rihanna's house isn't that far so it wouldn't take too long for me to get there. When I got in my car, my phone rang but I didn't get to answer it because I was buckling up. Safety first, right? The ringing ended so I just ignored it and started to drive but it rang again so I had no choice, I stopped my car on the side of the road and answered it.

"Hello?" I started. "Where are you?" The caller asked so I looked at the caller I.D, it was Noel. Now what does he want? Can't he see I'm driving? Of course not. He's not with me. Unless he's stalking me. Damn the thought of that creeps me out. What if he's following me right now? "I'm in my car, why?" I said. "Just asking." he answered. "Where are you going?" he continued. "Just grabbing a take out for lunch." I lied. I'm not comfortable with him knowing m whereabouts now. "Okay." he said then hung up.

That call was so sketchy. What does he have in mind? Is he planning to kill me? Not yet please, I haven't have children yet! Another call is incoming so I stopped driving again. This time, I looked at the caller I.D before answering. It's Rihanna. Thank goodness it's her.

"Hey where are you? I'm ready." she giggles. "I'm almost there cutie." I told her. "Okay drive safely. I love you." she said then hung up. Okay this time no more distractions. I don't want to let Rihanna wait too long. A true gentlemen shows up on time. And there's still ten minutes until 12 so I'm still good. Right?

Not too long later, I picked up Rihanna. She seems so excited for painting my walls. I just hope she won't make something so girly. "I'm so excited for our lunch date!" she said while smiling widely. Oh she's excited having lunch with me. I thought she's excited for giving my room a make-over. "What do you want to eat?" I asked sweetly. "You choose where we going to eat." She told me. "Okay are you in the mood for Japanese food?" I asked her. "Ooh yes I want some sushayyy!" yeah that's how she said. She's so adorable.

Being with Rihanna feels more like a date than being with Nicole. Being with Nicole, I got to admit that she makes me happy but at the end of the day I always get hurt or upset to be exact. We are now at the hardware store buying paint. Rihanna bought black paint and a lot of spray paints. I think she has something on her mind. "That's a lot of spray paint." I nudged her. "I know! It's perfect!" she grinned.

We are back at home. I'm setting up my room while Rihanna puts her hair in a bun. She's getting ready too. "Okay, what do we do now?" I sat her on my lap which caused her to giggle. "Well, Zeke. We're going to make your room pretty." she bumped my nose with hers. "Girly pretty or just pretty?" I asked her nervously. "Whatever we want! We're doing a graffiti!" she exclaimed excitedly. "Oh this should be fun!" I exclaimed and we both started to do our own thing. Minutes later, we made progress. At the middle wall I made a huge Z with lots of lightning bolts. Rihanna did some doodles which is really dope. She's really artistic. We proceed to do our own thing and I draw some random stuff when suddenly I noticed Rihanna using a pink spray paint. I looked up at her to see what she's up to. "Pretty Riri was here" with cute designs around it like hearts and crowns. Well I got to admit, that was cute. To mess with her, I went behind her to scare her. "BOO!" I screamed. She turned to me and yelled "Aaahh!" in the same time spraying paint in my face. Now I have a pink face. "HEHEHE! That's what you get for scaring me!" she giggled. In returned, I grabbed a brown spray paint and sprayed to her face. That's how our day ended. Chasing and spraying each other around in my room.

After cleaning up, I gave Rihanna an oversized t shirt. That's what she wears every time she sleeps over. We ordered Chinese food and dinner together in the dining room so we could have the smell of paint fade a little in my room because it's late and I didn't want Rihanna to come home. We're both sleeping in my room, and yes in the same bed but we won't do anything sexual. We sleep in the same bed before and we still do whenever we sleep over.

We are back in my room and Rihanna is in the bathroom brushing her teeth. She came to my bed and cuddled next to me. "Goodnight, Zeke. I love you." she said sleepily. "Goodnight Riri, sweet dreams." I kissed her on her forehead and drifted to sleep.
